The latest issue of the monthly online photo magazine, Vivid Light Photography, has just been published. It’s packed to the rafters with some great articles - here are my highlights, in no particular order:

- Digital Shortcuts
“I’m letting you know the point of this article right up front. This is for you! It’s for all you folks out there who, like me, have had some doubts about digital and the new learning curve. It’s for those of you who either don’t have the time or the interest to learn every tool that Photoshop has to offer. It’s for those of you out there who don’t mind taking a little shortcut every now and then, and yet you want the confidence in knowing that you can take these Digital Shortcuts without sacrificing quality.”

- Fine Tuning Your Photography
“I’ll show you my seven-step mental check list that I use every time I take a picture to get you thinking of different ways to look at any given potential photograph and to be able to determine what it will take to capture your own vision. While seeing the potential for a great photograph is one thing, exercising good technical skills each time will be just as important. “Fine Tuning Your Photography” is like practicing the basics without any mistakes. It’s seeing great light and knowing what to do with it, or recognizing poor light and returning another day.”

I’ll leave you to enjoy the rest of this month’s issue.
