Photography Givers!

As a photographer, it is rare to find someone who freely and without expected compensation, gives so much helpfull and relevant information to other photographers. One of my favorites and one of the most entertaining is professional photographer Ken Rockwell!

Ken is an awesome photographer and a true artist, in addition to providing an array of helpful information on shooting techniques, cameras, workflow, and a whole bunch more that's simply just entertaining. One of my favorite articles of his is Why Pro's Share!, and one of the funniest is 7 Levels of Photographers! In addition to the humerous information, Ken also just outlays tons of helpful and practical advice about cameras, photography, and photoshop, all within his site. I love his site so much, I contributed as a token of how much his advice has helped my photography. A visit will definately be worth while.

Another photographer who I've personally worked with and who gave me tons of practical hands on shooting advice, plus is one of the nices guy I know, is Paul Hamer! Paul regularly hosts workshops and events, plus helps building networks of models and photographers through his bulletin board SouthernModelShoots

Other groups of photography givers are the photographers on OpenSourcePhoto and S5000.net. There's not a whole lot that I've learned that I didn't learn from them. Both forums are populated with outstanding photographers, helpful, and giving people, that openly share much of what they have know.

Kudos to everyone who shares and those that truly aspire to become better photographers, better people, and true artists! ;-)

My next post is going to be on setting the perfect exposure (everytime) with studio strobes or using off camera flash, without a flashmeter.

until then, -m
