Develop Your Photography Skills Each Week with The Practicing Photographer

5

If you want to be great at anything, whether it’s baking bread, shredding guitar solos, or juggling cats*, you have to practice. A lot. And when it comes to a creative art like photography, where the results depend both on your technical mastery of your gear and your aesthetic sensibilities, the value of practice is doubled.

But don’t listen to me, listen to Ansel Adams:

In my mind’s eye, I visualize how a particular . . . sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice. –Ansel Adams

So, if you want to develop your inner Ansel Adams, (or your inner Anne Geddes, for that matter) and take your photography skills to the next level, there’s a tremendous new resource for you at lynda.com.

Noted photographer, teacher, and CreativePro author Ben Long has a new weekly lynda.com series called The Practicing Photographer. The episodes are varied: sometimes the topic is a shooting scenario, other videos will focus on how to choose or use a piece of gear, or a specific software technique. Each episode is self-contained so you can watch them in any order.

    Definitely fantastic article. The post captures many “hot” issues of our society. It is impossible to be untouched to these challenges. There are many articles on the web on this particular point, but you have captured different sides of the topic. Your article gives the light in which we may watch the real life. Not every day I have the possibility to read something like this.
