I've been a member of Clickin Moms for a few years now and have never really got actively involved until recently. Clickin Moms is a community of artists, hobbyists, and professional photographers. It includes a blog, forums and Workshops. There are various different forums including Tutorials & Articles, Photographer's Chit Chat, Photography type, Business Matters, Contests, Challenges & Exercises and CM (Clickin Mums) Workshops. At the moment I am spending a lot of time on the Forum - Tutorials and Articles, which features 300+ comprehensive how to guides and informational articles. These posts are organized by subject area such as Shooting, Lighting, Processing, Colour Management and Business. There is so much valuable information and it is great that some many people willingly give of the expertize.
I've also recently signed up for a breakout session "Finding the Frame" by Allison Zercher of
Snippets from Suburbia. "Finding the Frame" is a 40 page PDF where Allison will show you new ways to photograph your subject. You'll learn to use what is around you, indoors and outside, to help frame photos, add interest to your composition and draw the eye right to the subject of your photograph You also receive a recording of Allison's answers to questions from the breakout session. Allison goes through ways of framing your subject with loads of ideas and examples. All I need to do now is get out there and put what I am learning into practice!!
