We've looked at a lot of geometry ideas in this chapter. We've had lines and shapes and repetition and symmetry and all that stuff. It's time for you to go out and practice. Just as you did with points, I want you to go out and I want you to look for each of these things that we've found. You don't have to find one image with all of them, in fact, you might want to focus on just working lines for a while, then just working shapes for a while. Again, your goal with this course is to develop a vocabulary and to develop a way of practicing and expanding your vocabulary. So it may not be a bad idea to take each of these things as discrete practice ideas. So hit your lines, hit your shapes, continue to work points, practice with repetition, rule of threes, all of those things shoot them a lot. If you want, you can then spend some days just going out without a particular idea in mind, and just trying to see if you've noticed geometry or maybe if you are already used to shooting a particular…
