Learn about photography online?

January 27th, 2010 by admin

Where can I learn about photography (not take classes) online? I have a film camera, not a digital. I just want to learn the basics of what makes a good picture, etc?

You can use everything from the Kodak ‘Better Photography’ tips to New York Institute of Photography classes, for which you’ll pay big bucks (but it appears to be a good school).

The main problem with learning online is that there is no or little immediate feedback when you don’t understand what you are seeing or reading.

Your best bet will be to join a Camera Club, or find a local photography group that goes out on photography outings. There is almost no quicker way to learn photography than having a better photographer show you what he/she knows, in person. Taking some beginner photography workshops will help tons also.

Try doing a Yahoo or Google search for specific things you want to learn such as exposure or composition, etc.

Here are some other good starting places:
