Online classes?

[FSowers]

I can not find any classes in my locale area. Do you think this class would be good for a beginner?

Understanding Exposure

I don't know...how interactive is it? Can you submit assignments and get feedback?

Seems like a lot of money to me. Personally, I would rather spend the same money on a few select books and dvds, and have some left over for a lens or something. There is a lot of free content available online.

Here is a post with several links to resources for beginners: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...d-massive-amounts-advice-c-c.html#post2022025

I use Online Training for Photographers, Graphic Designers, Illustrators, Multimedia Artists, and Hobbyists | Kelby Training

Has some great classes. And you can try before you buy. Now this is not a formal class it is a learn at your own pace deal. And it covers everything from how to turn your camera on, how to light portraits, and how to Photoshop your images. But it is really worth a look

If your looking for basics on photography, exposure, iso and depth of field and how they all relate their is another online course very basic I saw it link to it the other day. It was like $100 bucks proudphotography or something. I heard that course was better than the New York Institute one. Having taken neither, I take my classes in the city closest to where I live I have no real experience with either program Just more food for thought.

I will say I am a member of kelbytraining too and I love their stuff but it was for more specific interests, architectural photography, lightroom/photoshop and lighting stuff.

I have been taking proud photography.com 's class and I am really liking it. YOu can keep going back to the lessons and you have someone C&C your photo in less than 2 days most of the time. Its 96.00 dollars. Not too bad. The funny thing is I won 100.00 on the newsletter so it was free. Check it out. They have a forum that is pretty good.

Thanks for all the information. I will check them all out, and see which way I need to go.
I have the books, and I tend to learn by doing, so I may just see if I can duplicate some of the stuff from the books and see where that leads me.

Our local Technical College has a online course also, I wish I could find a camera shop or something like it, in order to get some actual hands on learning.

Thanks again guys.
