Online Photography Courses - Immediately Improve Your Photographs!
When you've just gotten a new photographic camera - or you have finally decided that it's about time you learned how to use your old one - online photography courses can be a fast and simple path to mastering your camera.
The problem is that there are so many online photography courses...how do we pick the right one?
The easiest way to think of this is to take account of how much time you are willing to devote to your photography training.
There are options going from online university level classes that require several hours a day of study, plus several thousand dollars in tuition...
To free techniques you'll learn (and forget) in a matter of minutes.
What to do?
You should first examine your desired result in studying the information.
Are you concerned with studying enough - and investing the needed time and finances to be a pro shooter?
If so, the extensive university classes are for you.
If you only desire to learn one little strategy...such as an attractive pose to employ the next time you take a photograph of your family - a few free techniques in photography would do the trick.
For most of us, the middle option tends to be optimal. We need one of the online photography courses that're low cost, yet logically built and will fill in any gaps in our photo education - while teaching us new ideas.
Most of all, it has to be engaging, easy to understand and it can't take too many hours out of our day. Plus, we need to get immediate improvement in our photos or we will never complete the course.
Whatever path you choose, the beginning step is to look to a course that recommends creating a photography notebook or journal. It's amazing how few of them do and it is one of the most valuable learning tools you can use!
Virtually ALL the better shooters have them! A journal is easily the fastest route to mastering your camera, and you'll notice immediate results.
Here's the way you do it...
First: obtain a little journal you can keep inside a camera bag. The big 3 ring binder is just too large and you will NOT want to carry it around. One of the steno notepads is ideal.
Second: prior to each shot, write down what you want the final result to be and make a stab at at the suited camera and lens settings.
Third: shoot.
Fourth: Compare the final results with your creative vision. If you were right on, paste the photo in your notebook. Now you can replicate that picture any time you want by just checking your notes.
Fifth: If it turned out to be NOT what you were after, attempt to discover what went wrong and re-shoot. Within just a couple attempts you will have the shot you want AND you'll have learned more about photo creation than you'd imagine.
Warning - As online photography courses go, I'd stay away from the courses that don't have you maintain a shot notebook.
