Photography 101
As of November 5, 2007, drivebyshooter.net will no longer be updated. For posts on photography, you can now go to LightChasers Photography. For the author's personal site, head over to the Dark Corner.
One of the goals I had when I started drivebyshooter.net was to turn it into a photography resource. Yes, I wanted my gallery on it - but I also wanted to share what I’ve learned about the craft. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten very far on either count. This post, as well as others, I hope, will remedy that.
Yup, I’ve got a new category: photography.101.
For now, the topics may seem random, jumping from tips on reducing shutter lag to reasons to get a lower megapixel camera to ways to improve your flash photography. Yes, I will be linking to other sites here - I have, after all, learned a lot by reading various tips online.
At some point, I’m going to tackle some of the technical aspects of photography. One topic I have in the works is a primer on how cameras work. Yes, it’s a bit technical, but it should also be the starting point for understanding some of the more advanced features on your camera.
I’ve got ideas on what topics to cover, but nothing is set in stone. Your comments, more than anything else, will help me decide on what subjects to discuss.
Come back soon for some photography.101 sessions.
