Sometimes the best thing you can do to improve your skills is to read and learn prior to actually engaging in your medium.
Today I've compiled a few fantastic websites/books to get you started!

This site is awesome! They host multi-day workshops on photography related topics and you can watch the live feed for free...or purchase the workshops to watch later. I watched the Jasmine Star workshop and it totally blew my mind....I learned so much!!
This weekend there's a workshop titled "Exploring the Light" with Rick Sammon and, as you may have surmised, it's all about lighting.
I'm already registered and if you're going to be around this weekend I highly recommend you sign up too!
Thanks so much !!!!!!! :) i appreciate everything you are doing! LOVING this challenge! working on some "around the house" life photos for the exercise! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! These items look great.
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy most books by Brian Peterson. And I also really like the dps you mentioned. I'll have to check out the creative LIVE link.
Scott Kelly has good books. Mostly, I visit my photography friends blogs and use Google to find tutorials. I got most my education from what you mentioned and Darcy's 31 days photography posts last year. This year, JillsamterPhotography.com and ashleysisk.com have been my biggest resources.
LOVE Brian Peterson! I need to get back to re-reading his books I have. My mind has forgotten most of it and needs to be refreshed. I'm going to have to check out the creativeLIVE you mentioned.
