This is not
a formal course in photography and the idea is not to "teach"
you
how to become a professional photographer. Rather, what I would like to do is
to
share my passion for photography with you and to assist you in developing
that
elusive, mystical thing called a "photographer's eye", so that you may
enjoy
your image making more and be more satisfied with the results.
Photography can be an art form, and as such it has a few "rules"
-- most of
them, however, can (and should!) be broken from time to time. Please keep that
in mind as you progress through these pages. If we all obeyed the rules slavishly,
we would all end up
taking the same photos, and that would be the death of not
only
our individuality as photographers, but of all interest we could hope to
awaken
in those who view our images!
Unfortunately you will have to do a fair bit of reading on these pages,
but that
cannot be avoided. I will try to keep matters as graphic and as interesting
as
possible, so please bear with me -- the written parts are only there because
they are important!
I hope you will have fun and that you will end the tutorials a
happier snapper!
Don't get too serious, but take pains to give it your best shot at all times. And,
of
course I am only a click away; you can always mail me with any queries or suggestions
or whatever else by clicking on the Mail Me link at the foot
of this page. Below
are the links to the various pages which constitute these tutorials.
Enter and have fun! Ray
