[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3539776, member: 7900"] Thanks. As for tips, some years back, the church we attend asked me to do some photography teaching to the youth in our Leadership To Christ program. While talking to one of they young men before the teaching started, he was telling me that the "only photography to do was black and white." So, for setting up the second lesson, I found a picture of a boat in a marina that was on fire. I took the color picture and used image manipulating software to change it to black and white. When doing the lesson, I put the black and white on first and spoke about the image. Then I told the class that the B&W image was misleading and then showed the color version, telling them that the color version certainly had more impact on the moment than B&W, My mother was a self taught artist, dealing mostly in painting with oil based paint. When she and Dad divorced, she took to teaching painting to others as a means of making money. There in the Oklahoma Panhandle, we had four states surrounding us and except for New Mexico, she had students from all the others. One day at the county fair, I heard a lady from New Mexico that also taught painting make something of a disparaging remark about my mom and her teaching. Of course, she saw my mom as competition. But, I just had to get into it by asking her if she thought Picasso thought the same about Da Vinci's work. Oh, and if one wants to learn composure, find a good photo hosting website like Pbase to look at what other photographers do with composing their photos. That does a lot for learning. I go to Pbase fairly regularly and one guy's work still amazes me. He works with ballet dancers and gets some awesome shots. Link to an example of his work.
