ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL COLLECTIONS...

A lot of Photo sites are really a collection of effects that you can recreate (step-by-step) in Adobe Photoshop. There is certainly nothing wrong with that... but there is so much more to photography than post-production. Admittedly, it's the main concern of the graphic designer. But so many give short shrift to other aspects of the process.

Every Digital Photography section I've taught has included a composition unit. Despite that, I'll still see some horrible snapshots being shuttled in by students as 'compositions.' Because it's something you like/love (a guy, a girl, a handbag, a pet, a place) doesn't make it a good shot. Controlling the  technical elements at your control while minding composition does.

I hope that those of you interested in digital photography take a look at all of these helpful links from the blog:
