The Online Photo Assignments category is coordinated by Rob Migliaccio (rmigliaccio) from Rhode Island, USA. You can check his assignments updates here.

The Nikonians online assignment is a great opportunity to have some fun and learn at the same time. 

The monthly Assignment is a bit different from our other contests. We present a new assignment each month and the images posted are to be shot during that month with specifically to fulfill the assignment.

This is one of Nikonians best learning resources.  It teaches beginners how to preconceive an image and follow through to a completed work, to building both technical and compositional skills.  Advanced photographers will grow their abilities by working outside of their usual photographic style.   

The July Assignment is "Isolation."

- a wall worthy image that demonstrates the photographic technique of isolation - i.e. making your subject stand out as the main focal point of the image.
