Photography Tutorials

Some good sites for tips and tricks in photography.

 

A great "free" program for editing that I highly recommend. It has alot of options and I find it much easier to use than photoshop. One of the best downloads I have ever come across for simple to more advanced editing. With this program it's easy to put pics side by side and do simple layering and it has a great text editor. http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php

This free digital photography tutorial site will show you how to take better photographs. Each photo tutorial will help you turn your 'snaps' into a picture that will delight your viewers rather than bore the pants off them.

This is my favourite photography magazine. Their online site has some good articles on cameras, lenses, techniques and photography tips.

Hi there, hope everything is okay with you. I have some photographs ready to post but they are rather large....can you tell me how I can post them on here and make them the correct size? I have the Sony downsizer but wonder if that would work for here.
Would appreciate your answer Connie.
Thanks
Hugs

Hi Gloster Gal,
I'm glad you asked that question because I think many here may not know you can resize your images right in the comment box before you post them. This has always been one of the features I love most about the NING sites.
To add an image that is in your computer picture folder:
Click on the camera icon on the header-and you will see...
Add an image:
click on Add an image
Browse to select your image from your files -open
Then go to -->Options:
Align
left -(I usually leave it on align left)
center
right
check Resize image
-by default you will see the actual size of your picture in the box -this is where you change the size of the image. I usually change this to 450. I recommend 400 to 500 pixels.
-click add and you will see the HTML code in the comment box with your new size near the end.

-You can click on HTML again and you will see the actual picture you are posting.
-Add any text or description of the image and click add reply-
Hope this helps...
Connie

Well this is sure to come in handy and I look forward to reading and learning as I get the time. I love taking photos but all I do is point, click and hope for the best. Sometimes I get a lucky shot too! LOL
