- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I am just starting out in photography (for money that is). I have not had any formal training, but I have taken pictures for my family for years. Recently I did some senior pictures for my niece and engagement pictures for a cousin. Word is getting around that I "do" photos. While I think this would be a great profession, I would like to actually learn a little before getting serious. I am really struggling with lighting. I use a Sony F828 with external flash and I have a couple of lights with umbrellas. However when I use the umbrellas my images are burnt. I have received a couple of flyers for a New York Institute of Photography but am wondering if they are the best or are is there another place I can take some online courses? (I live in the middle of SD, thus an actual "in person" class is out of the question.)
