TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK 'Best photography course ever! ... Thanks to the wisdom and guidance in Bill Neill's critiques, I've gained a tremendous amount of confidence, and I've gained a world of insight into what it means to think and see as an artist rather than a technician or a hobbyist. Like I said, best class ever - I'm already planning to take it again!' -David B. Dawson, student in William Neill's Portfolio Development course
NEXT COURSE SESSION BEGINS MARCH 6TH!
THIS WEEK'S TIP Why 'First Things First' is the Best Photo-Trip Strategy The reason photographers often feel stress on a trip is the self-imposed pressure to capture the definitive images. Celebrated tourist spots, world-class cities, and popular national parks all feature justifiably famous views that have been photographed over and over again. But at the same time, there's also the desire to come up with innovative photographs. This "shoot the classics vs. strive for originality" disparity is always a challenge.
The best advice: Attack the top spots as soon as possible. That way, you get them out of your system. After recording these definitive images, you'll be surprised how that reduces the anxiety, lifts the spirit, and makes you mentally prepared to be imaginative.
