You might have to do this one yourself. I’ve irritated many a hiking buddy by stopping every ten feet to take a picture. This weekend, take a walk or a hike with photography in mind. Don't worry about how far you go, or how fast your pace is. Really slow down and pay attention to your surroundings. Look at things from different angles, as well. Climb up on top of a rock (carefully,) or lie down on your belly to get a different perspective of your surroundings. Don't be afraid to get dirty.
