Topic: Some great tutorials....

I recently found some great tutorials that are a part of a digital photo challenge site where Shi and I submit photos once in a while. The tutorials are written by members of the site, much like at GN.

Rule of Thirds (Composition rule)

Controlling Your Exposure

The rest of the tutorials can be found here: DP Challenge Tutorials

There is also a section where the winning photographers are invited to explain the techniques they used in creating their winning entries. There's some great information there as well.

How'd They Do That?

Take a look, there's some great stuff there.

:::krets.net:::

indeed. some things are so simple, but yet ingenious.

*stealthily slips into the thread, looks around, bookmarks a few links, and then slips back out again...*

that was some really good reading, thanks matt.

That's some I liked also Krets

I also used these when learning and even now at times;

ABC
agfanet has lessons and contest.
apogeephoto
Has lessons, contest and a online magazine.
NYI
ACD

My list is endless so I'll stop with these.

thanks shi - some really good stuff! i especially like the AGFA one.

just a word of caution to potential readers though - the ABC page, whilst having some good tips, seems to be very rushed, and not always accurate.

mini example:

quote:

---

Slow shutter speeds need small apertures.
Fast Shutter speeds need small apertures.

---

...is just enough to lead noobs like me astray. (not only the fact that one of the two are wrong, but also the words aren't carefully chosed - by "smaller" do they mean they F setting, or the apeture hole?)

Thanks for the links krets and Shiiizzzam
