I am still shocked at how far my blog has come over the past year and a half! When I started this I don’t think I could have imagined I would be where I am today! THANK YOU!

Free Download

I hit 3,000 Facebook fans a week or so again. Each time I hit another 1,000 new fans I create a free download for y’all as a small token of my appreciation for you sharing my blog and page with your friends! This time around I have a 33 page PDF title “Improve Your Photos No Matter What Camera You Have”. I dive into different topics like lighting, composition and the dreaded self portraits! You can use these tips with your iPhone, point and shoot or DSLR! I hope you find some useful information! Head over to the Facebook page for the free download!

Clickin’ Moms

If you have read my blog for more than 5 minutes than you know how much I adore the site Clickin’ Moms. It is a forum based photography site with over 8,000 helpful, kind, encouraging members! There is so much on the site to learn, I could read it all day every day for a year and still not soak up all the information. I am constantly referring people to Clickin’ Moms if I don’t have the answer to their question, heck, even if I do have the answer I still refer them :O)

They have the forum broke into different topics. Seriously, anything you want to know about photography can be found here! Here is a quote from their home page:

“Black and White. Film. Children. Street Photography. Processing. Lighting. Artistic Development. And more. Bring your questions, dive into a discussion, or just do some reading alongside thousands of other women who love photography as much as you do. Come grow with us!”

If I had to pick one place where I have learned the most about photography it would be, hands down, Clickin’ Moms.

They are running a special right now for 10% off a standard membership. Use the code FRIEND at checkout. Only good for new members. Good through April 30, 2012. Hurry up!

      No, I’m sorry! Currently, it is a Facebook exclusive freebie. That is not to say later down the road I may open it up again as something for newsletter followers or just on the blog. Sorry!!

    Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. It really is appreciated. I stumbled across your site (I think from visiting CM) and signed up on FB and get your newsletters each week. Thank you for New Zealand!!

    Courtney – the download worked wonderfuly! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together, I am new to photography and I am trying to learn all I can. My son is graduation from high school in May and I haven’t had the money to purchase a flash yet, any ideas or tips to take the “special moment” photos (this is indoor)? I am not real good with taking photos indoors. (I have a Canon Rebel T3) Thanks again for the free download!!

      So glad it worked for you :O) Do you shoot on manual? If so, keep your ISO really high if indoors for something like a graduation. However, if you aren’t comfortable with manual please don’t risk missing a shot at your son’s graduation and just shoot on auto or what you normally shoot. I would say definitely use a zoom so you can try and capture some close up shots. Good luck!! Congrats to you and your son!
