Become a Better Photographer With This 52-Week Photo Challenge
From pros to the most green amateur, this is excellent advice. Now let me add a few (free or almost free) essential apps for your cell phones to help. Most people don’t need to buy a camera, they already have a good on in their phone. FOTOTOOL-Helps with exposure, tracking sun and moon angles. TPE to find “golden hour” and exactly where the sun will set on the horizon.
Not free but worth it-
Lightroom for cellphones and lastly just in case you want to make a video from stills or stills and video mixed get Adobe RUSH, amazing easy fast editing software.
Dale Foshe from Dogwood Photography put together a 52-Week Photography Challenge to help photographers new and old improve their skills. Each week the challenge (now in its fourth year!) encourages photographers to perform a new task. They’re not photography classes, but more projects to get you out in the world and thinking about what you’re taking pictures of.
Basics of Photography: The Complete Guide
We spent the last week learning all about the basics of photography, from the way your camera works.
Challenges are broken down into one of three categories: Storytelling, Compositional Eye, and Inspiration.
Each week you’re given a new challenge that fits into one of those buckets. You snap a shot and then share it to a Facebook group where other people doing the same challenge can view them and comment on them (and perhaps offer some tips on how they can be improved).
