Fun Photography Workshop – Canon vs Nikon, and The Winner is….

Hi photogs…Nick here from www.FunPhotographyWorkshop.com.
Scott from PhotoFocus argues that together they dominate the DSLR market for a reason – they both make great gear. It’s a coin-toss he says, so stop fretting and go take some pictures:

Hi photogs…Nick here from www.FunPhotographyWorkshop.com.
Roger Passman argues that the person behind the camera and not the cost of the camera is the key to better photographs (you can also link through to a good explanation of how to make HDR images):

Fun Photography Workshop – online photo contests, the light and dark side.

Hi photogs…Nick here from www.FunPhotographyWorkshop.com
Kelby TV is running an online photo contest (click the link below). The “Good” is that you can be inspired by others and possibly win a prize and recognition. The “Bad” is that you give away the use of your, possibly best, photo to the contest organizers. Caveat emptor (the “Middle” is that you can participate simply by voting):

Fun Photography Workshop – it’s soapbox Wednesday…

Hi photogs…Nick here from www.FunPhotographyWorkshop.com.

There’s two sides to the issue of what constitutes “new”. Is it “breaking boundaries” (like Lady GaGa) or everything's been done/thought of/photographed before by someone else? Scott Bourne sounds off at PhotoFocus – at the very least it stops you and makes you assess your opinion, right?:
