OK all my fellow beginners need this!! -- 31 Days to a Better Photo

[naptime]

so i was out and about cruizin various photo sites and google, and i came across this awesome 31 day lesson to better pics.

this starts out assuming you know nothing about shooting.

it starts with the basics. from reading your manual, to learning the exposure triangle to editing in photoshop.

if you are just starting out, or someone like me that jsut got your first slr or dslr for christmas, this looks like a great plan to follow.


i'm going to start tommorrow. and while i feel i have already learned some of the items, i'm going to spend each day with them anyway, to reinforce what i already know... or what i think i already know.

Good link- there's a wealth of information out there, and it's nice when someone takes the time to sort the wheat from the chaff and share it with others.

I felt I should grace this topic with my first post on this forum. VERY handy for a beginner.

I look forward to putting some of these techniques into use.
