Learning and Teaching New Techniques

As I'm slowly getting Eighth Day Photography off the ground, I've taken quite a bit of time to learn and study new techniques. And as I learn, I like to pass along my knowledge to others.

So, for your edification, some of my favorite technique sites:

http://dailyphototips.blogspot.com/: This site is great for some wonderful tips and techniques for various types of photography. Although my focus is on wedding photography as well as photography for baptisms, ordinations, hierarchical visits as well as all other types, I do really learn a lot by reading other photographers' techniques!

http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/: This is a great site for learning all sorts of tricks and techniques for Adobe's new program: Lightroom! I've been using the trial version of this software and it is absolutely phenomenal, and I'm definately picking up the full version in the next coming weeks! I think it'll definately help with all my photography, but especially great for fast moving work like weddings and baptisms where there might be tricky light! I love that I can continue to shoot in .jpg and don't have to swtich to RAW.

http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/: This has become one of my favorite sites as of late. There are so many good tricks and techniques found here, as well as within the forums.

I love forums, as I learn so much from them, and in the next posting, you'll find my list of "What I'm Reading: A Look at Photography Forums".

Have a great day!
