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."

TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK
"This is a great course for learning photographic lighting. I learned so much and can't wait to put it to use!" -Betsy Sasnett, student in An Introduction to Photographic Lighting with John Siskin





THIS WEEK'S TIP
Composition: Utilizing Effective Framing Elements
By Lynne Eodice
Using a foreground element to create a frame within the photo's frame can be a very effective compositional tool. The framing element not only isolates and emphasizes a subject, but also gives the picture a feeling of depth. It can also serve to obscure distracting details or to create an interesting foreground where none exists.
Some frames, like an overhanging tree branch, seem so natural that we're not always conscious of their presence, just the pleasing effects. Framing devices work best when they're somehow thematically related to the subject, such as a tree branch framing an interesting rock formation in the background—both are objects found in nature.
