Photography

Greetings from sunny Beverly, Mass: Well the nice weather has finally arrived and not a moment too soon. The last few days have been great. Unfortunately, my Nikon D60 is out for repairs. It should be back within a week, at least that's the company's story. We will see. For those of you looking for good sites with lots of information of photography I suggest: http://www.betterphoto.com/home.asp and http://www.digitalimagecafe.com/critique_gallery.asp. Both are excellent sites with friendly people who will offer constructive criticism as well as how to info. BetterPhoto.com also has several excellent online classes for both novice and experts. I would especially suggest classes taught by Kerry Dragger, http://kerrydrager.com/-/kerrydrager/, or Jim Zuckerman: http://www.corporatefineart.com/-/corporatefineart/. I hope these links work for you. Another excellent site is http://digital-photography-school.com/getting-backgrounds-right. It has great information on composition, background control and removing clutter from your shots. One thing to remember is the rules of composition, though tried and true, may be broken at times and a photograph may still be great. I personally look at them as suggestions.
