Photography Tips and Articles
I am a visual person, not a wordsmith so none of these photography tips or review articles will be particularly wordy. I will lay out a few basics and leave you to explore by yourselves. The essence of creativity is to find your own personal space, not be told how to get there by other people, so I hope that these photography tips articles will serve as signposts to new paths. Detailed references to other information sources are given where appropriate.
Please leave comments if you would like to find out more or to discuss any issues raised. Comments are moderated I'm afraid - too many dodgy website links - so please be patient when your comments don't appear straight away.
