Friday’s Featured Resource- Digital Photography School

By

Darren Rowse of Problogger fame has got one awesome photo resource blog out there called Digital Photography School. I’m sure many of you already know all about the site as it is choc full of everything a photographer (or budding photographer) wants to know. Personally, I subscribe to the weekly newsletter because it recaps the week’s features for me in a handy email so I can click over at what sparks my creative interest.

Dig through the archives to find info on almost anything photo related from cleaning your lens to understanding white balance to Photoshop shortcuts. And if you’re ooking for insights on how to photograph waterfalls, fireworks or mushrooms(pictured above) DPS has got tips for all of these things and more.

What caught my eye this week was Darren’s take on curiosity as one of the traits of a good photographer. I loved his follow up post too- How to be a Curious Photographer.

I love that he encourages us to play and break the rules (a photographer after my own heart) but many of his tips also encourage asking questions, working with a buddy and learning from each other. I’m pretty hip to the community thing so I really appreciate his ideas.

Curious? I thought so. Now click on over and see for yourself why Digital Photography School is our very first* Friday’s Featured Resource.

Feel free to share any of your own curious captures with us today and we’ll see if we can figure them out.

*Yes, that means that we will be featuring more fantastic photo resources on Fridays. Got a website, blog or any other photo resource you can’t live without? Shoot an email to click at Shutter Sisters dot com and tell us about it!

  10. Now this is a regular feature I appreciate. I enjoy all the photos and like some of the psychological/emotional stuff, too. But what I really need these days are photography resources. Thanks!

  15. My "curious" shots, when I was just learning how to tweak the settings on my camera (thanks to my Blue Crane Digital DVD that came with my camera – LOVE it) and was playing around with the settings while at Oglebay Zoo in Wheeling, WV. Definitely out of my comfort zone and not following what "rules" I had always followed with my film camera.

    I’m happy to be capturing images that I have always dreamed of capturing, but never thought I could. Thanks for the DPS link, I can’t wait to learn more!!!
