online photography tutorials?

“okay, so now both my wife and i've got fancy digi cams, but know jack squat about photography.

i don't have the time to take a real course, so can anybody recommend a decent website, with a free tutorial i could work through?

what i'd really like to learn how to do is take those schnazzy stream/waterfall shots where the water looks all silky like.

i need a tripod for those right?”

“best thing to do is find a local photography club in your area and join. You will find folks with varying degrees of experience. Some even have a basic photography classes for free”

“I had so many great links, but I swear my bookmarks keep disapearing.

One site is the sony site:

“gaby, you might wanna edit your post - your link automatically logs me in under your name!”

“yeah sacco you need a tripod for the waterfall shots...you want to have a longer shutter exposure.

Ewker is right...if you can locate a photog group in your area that is a great way to learn. Most experienced photogs love to share their experience with us newbies!!”

“crap!!! that really, really sucks.”

“i know a real live class with a real live instructor would be best, but i really don't have the time.

i'm hoping i can find one online that i can look over here and there for a few minutes a day - 15 minutes at lunch, 30 minutes before bed. that kind of thing.

i'll check that out gem, thanks.”

“it looks like it's fixed now. sorry you had to change your password, but at least some punk didn't beat ya to it!

i shoulda tried to call you, i just remembered that i have your phone number somewhere in an email- but it might have taken me 10 minutes to find it anyhow.”
