PREREQUISITES
- Access to the Internet.
- If you're a film
shooter, you'll need some way of converting your slides or prints to
JPEGs so that they can be shown online.
- If you're a digital
shooter, you'll need some way of sizing your photos to show them online
as JPEGs.
- Any focal length lens
will work fine. Really. There may be times, however, when you'll want to
move in closer to your subject. A
macro lens is great, but you can easily use extension tubes on whatever
lens you have or else buy a set of close-up diopters that screw onto the
front of your current lens.

Developing Your Creative Edge #4
 Lesson
#1
Screaming Meemies:
FINDING AND
PHOTOGRAPHING EXTREME COLORS
We're on a quest for outrageous
colors and outrageous color combinations. If you live in the southwest,
you've got them all over the place. The rest of us have to look a bit
harder. But that's the point — to pay attention to light and what it does
to color, and the more garish the better for this lesson!
 Lesson
#2
Less is More:
PHOTOGRAPHING
ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL
Some of us notice the barn, some
of us the barn door. This lesson — again, all about noticing things and
seeing — will train your brain to look a bit closer, to see the trees
rather than the forest. This scavenger hunt-like lesson will have you
looking at buildings and architecture in a whole new way.
 Lesson #3
Whiter Shade of Pale:
LIGHT ON WHITE
We're talking about creating
high-key, brightly lighted photos in this lesson, with emphasis on finding
light-colored objects and placing them on even lighter backgrounds. It's a
metering challenge that will be fun to master.
 Lesson #4
And not a drop to drink:
PHOTOGRAPHING THE WORLD
OF WATER
Whether you live by the ocean,
by a pond, near a stream, or simply have a tiny fountain on your desk,
you'll have fun capturing moving water, water droplets, and reflections in
this lesson that's just simply about . . . water.
 Lesson #5
Not just for Valentine's Day:
FINDING AND
PHOTOGRAPHING HEARTS
Oh, how boring can we get? Nope!
You'll begin noticing hearts everywhere, just as I did when I began
thinking about this lesson. There are heart-shaped rocks on the beach,
carved on trees, found on shutters, and on sexy lingerie (ooh la la!).
Hearts — they're not just for Valentine's Day any more . . .
 Lesson #6
Beyond the Pale:
PHOTOGRAPHING LIGHT AND
SHADOW
As photographers, we're
constantly aware of how light quickly changes, comes and goes, and it's
what photography's all about. So train your eye to begin looking for the
shadow first and the subject second. It'll be fun. And, on a sunny day,
there's always YOUR shadow to photograph.
