More to photography than you think

In the space of 6 months I’ve learnt so much, from sources such as

Help me, help you photography

and

KWF Photography

Or

Practical photography talk along with Mark Playle and Erica Harris

I was also incredibly disappointed to see the brilliant magazine of the same name go under.

My competitive side has come from Gurushots or ViewBug which both have some great competitions and you learn a great deal by submitting and, or, seeing and voting on them.

The Rules?

One of the chief lessons I learnt from Mark was that rules are really guides such as the rule of thirds but then it does work, apparently a rule adopted from the art world.

Leading lines and vanishing points cover the other major fundamentals I learnt in Erica Harris ‘s free course, I leave it to her to say if its still available, but if highly recommend it to new #photographer’s

In the blood

Photography is something I never realised I would enjoy as much as I do, its something I’m considering taking up professionally but I have still so much to learn.

Whats on offer

I am currently offering 5 free pet photos for free and any further a small fee starting at £10 as my skillset grows a long with what I can learn with the funds I generate, maybe again from Erica or Mark or trips to Photography exhibitions.
