Have you ever wanted to learn more about how to take better pictures? Do you just want to learn some tips and tricks for composing better photos? Do you want to learn how to use the manual settings on your camera?
This has nothing to do with Creative Memories but it is a wonderful resource that I have found to be very helpful. Nick Kelsh, of How to Photograph Your Baby, How to Photograph Your Family, and How to Photograph Your Life has started a daily photo tip subscription. He covers a wide variety of topics to help amateurs learn how to take better photos of their loved ones and their life. The month of June he is taking us through the baby steps of how to use the manual features of our cameras. Even if you only have a point and shoot you may learn something from these lessons. It may help you to understand what the different settings such a portrait, snow, fireworks, mountains, etc. on your camera do and when you might want to use them.
Last month he did a week about how to take pictures at the beach. One really cool tip was to put your camera in an old cooler when you are at the beach. It will protect it from the sand, water, and heat and doesn't look like a camera bag sitting on your beach blanket.
If you are interested you can learn more about it here. He also has a Facebook group where you can learn a lot without subscribing. You can also share your own photos here for feedback from Nick and the group.
Nick has been the speaker at numerous Creative Memories functions and wrote a column when Creative Memories had a magazine. He is very funny and is a great teacher.
