Learn Better Photography at Your Own Pace
Why books not videos? For those of you like me, there are times I just want to go back and remind myself how to accomplish something I'm learning. As a photographer, I'm a visual learner and I retain more when I read, or can look up what I want to know. It may be old fashioned, but there is value in being able to take your time, look at the photos, and absorb the lessons...
Why don't your photos wow you after you've shot them? What's the difference between your photos and those you admire? Once you learn how to find the best photos, how to expose and focus for best effect, and the basics of composition, you'll be on your way to taking images that excite you, your friends and family. Even if you have an understanding of the basics, you can browse to the tips you want to practice. Work on one basic lesson at a time, or get all four.

Sometimes your phone camera doesn't focus on what you want. Learn why that happens and how to make your phone's camera focus where you want.

Where you place objects in your image, and the objects you keep out of your image is composition. Composition makes or breaks a photo. Good composition elevates a photo helping to tell a story, create a mood or a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing piece of art. Bad composition will leave the viewer wondering what's interesting about the photo, and why you shot it. Learn the basic tools of composition and how a good composition will make others ask if you were really shooting with a phone camera.
