15 Great Online Photography Resources for Improving your Photography Skills
If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, then you are well aware that I have a passion for photography. You may also be aware that I am not a professional photographer, just a lover of the art and a true beginner in the field. Since I made the big purchase of my DSLR camera in February, I’ve been making an effort to jump behind the lens with every opportunity that comes my way.
After all, every beginner knows that the only way to learn how to do something is by doing it themselves, right? Right. But there’s more to it than just that. Every beginner also knows that in order to learn how to do something they must not only practice but also take the time to do some research. I’m a big fan of googling and reading blog posts containing tips by experts in the field as well as tips shared by other bloggers who are also trying to learn photography.
Today I’m sharing a list of 15 great online resources for improving your photography that I’ve discovered and used to help improve my own photography. Whether it be inspiration from other bloggers or technical knowledge from a few experts that you seek, these links are worth a read:
