The web is pretty amazing for finding solutions to almost any problem you might encounter (assuming you can get past all the SPAM sites trying to game Google or homeopathic websites which just seem to clog the web with disinformation). But, how often do you just randomly happen across a solution for something that you didn’t even know existed until you read it; especially if it isn’t a topic you follow regularly. Just as an example, here is a Complete Guide to Shooting Farming and Agriculture. I am sure most people wouldn’t think there were special requirements for photographing Bessy the Cow. One of the better ways of coming across more obscure information is to find blog posts in which the author has taken the time to scour the web for you and puts the results into list form. You then benefit from someone else having done all the dirty work.
So I thought I would post one such article from Pixiq.com: Photo school in a box: 250 photography tutorials. A hell of a lot more than you ever wanted (or needed) to know about photography – all in one handy place. Browsing this list, I ran across quite a few tutorials for techniques or ideas that I could have used at one time or another but never thought to look up. The list has everything from basic digital photography articles, such as depth of field or buying a lens, to tutorials on composition or lighting techniques, up to advanced Photoshop tutorials such as Creating Sleepy Village Photos. Take a look and see what this article might inspire and then just bookmark it for future use. Maybe it will answer a pressing question or you just might find a tutorial that makes you say “Wow, I didn’t know you could do that!”
