To push your creative thinking,
To practice photographing on a regular basis,
To continue to learn how your camera/mobile device works and interacts with varying light/subject/situations.
To get in close to the subject so that it abstracts it.
In this photo I was on the beach and at the very end there was a cliffy area which had accumulated many many icicles, this row of icicles was overhanging a bit off of the cliff and I relized that I could get my camera behind them and take a photo of the whole ring of icicles.
In this photo I was on the beach and I saw a perrywinkle sitting in the sand surrounded by a puddle of water with the sun reflected on the water, I thought it would look great in an image, it did.
In this photo, I was walking on the beach with my family and I noticed the really interesting sky and the puddles in the sand, I thought I would put my phone on the ground and take some photos from their.
