"Digital
101 is designed to accomplish one thing and one thing only. Improve the
image quality of anyone who is interested in better pictures.
It
is open anyone and should be a learning experience and not a place for
critics as I want anyone to be comfortable coming here for advice.
I
run a photo lab and look at thousands of could have been images every
week. Yet the same folks look at my images and say I could never do that.
Not
true, you don't learn to be a doctor overnight and the same is true with
photos, knowing basic fundamentals and a lot of practice creates good
images.
I
had a mother come in today and left with tears in her eyes as her photos
of her sons graduation did not turn out as she didn't understand how a
flash works and all she got the the reflection of the guys bald head in
front of her. If I can do nothing more then help some other person avoid
such disappointment then I will be happy.
I
plan on posting a subject every week that we can discuss, post example
photos, and by the end of the week give as many folks possible basic info
on how to improve their technique. If you submit a photo post please
explain how you achieved the image and why.
So
lets get started. Some of this stuff may be basic for some and a
revelation for others. All ideas appreciated."
