TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK
"This is the best basic Photoshop course I've come across! ... Through a number of practical, powerful, and accessible features of Photoshop, Lewis Kemper is outstanding at showing how to make your images sit up and sing." - David B. Dawson, student in The Photographer's Toolbox for Photoshop: Exposure and Color





THIS WEEK'S TIP
Outdoor Portraits: Avoid Harsh Overhead Sunlight
By Jim Zuckerman
For people portraits outdoors, use soft and diffused lighting - such as from an overcast sky or shade. Make sure the background is in shade, too. Don't photograph someone in the shade and have a background with direct sun or even sunny highlights. That will ruin the picture.

Updates From BetterPhoto

One challenge that comes from close-up photography is the focus point, says instructor Rob Sheppard. "When you are close, depth of field is very narrow, no matter what f-stop you use, so the actual point of focus becomes very, very important." Read Rob's "Close-ups and Autofocus" article for his expert thoughts and techniques! In this 8-week online class, top pro Doug Steakley will help you develop your personal vision and discover new techniques for capturing dynamic landscape images. Don't miss Denise Miotke's awesome "Travel and Landscape Photography" online course. You'll learn techniques for developing an artistic eye and for finding awesome images - whether you are on a trip or shooting in your own backyard.

Why are BetterPhoto's courses so inspiring? Here's a gre at rundown from instructor Jim Zuckerman:

"One of the great things about these online courses is that students participate from all over the world. In a single lesson's uploads, you may see pictures from Bryce Canyon or Brazil, or from Singapore or South Carolina. It's a very stimulating environment, and it will help you become the photographer or digital artist that you would like to be."
