Doing a lecture based photography course, with regular contact with your tutor, is undoubtedly the best way to learn, but it involves time, travel and considerable commitment. MyPhotoSchool (
www.my-photo-school.com
)– offers the advantages of a college-based photography course, but you can do it at home – through your desktop, laptop or ipad. Courses run for four weeks and start on the first Saturday of the month. Each Saturday you have access to that week’s half hour video lecture given by you expert tutor; you can watch and listen as many times as you like and download the lecture notes. You then have an assignment to do; and here’s the bonus: you do it with direct access to your expert tutor and your classmates. Ask questions, exchange ideas, give feedback – or just do it on your own; the photography course is yours, and it’s up to you how much, or little you put into it. Most of the courses are suitable for all levels of expertise, whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer, or a keen beginner.
There is some talent in the house today! Wonderful shot here. I like the contrast of the pink and the old wooden covered bridge. Boy you don't see these in California... you must be in the north east somewhere?
