My Favorite Things- Creative Photography Links

/

My favorite links this weekend are all photography related – but you certainly don’t need to be a photography buff to enjoy them!

Photojojo University is a 4-week course that teaches you the principles of photography through the lens of your phone. Twice a week you’ll get an email with a simple and fun lesson that ends with a challenge to help you solidify your new skills – and it’s only $5.00!!!  I just need to get myself an iPhone and I will be set! Damn you Blackberry!!!

Thinking of taking a different approach with your photos? Check out this bloggers Project Life documentary with scrap-booking.

Kate from Kate with a Camera gives you a good explanation on focal ranges.  What are focal ranges you ask… go check out her post!  She takes amazing photos of her dogs!

If you are having a hard time deciding which Canon 50mm lens if right for you, then head on over to Everyday Elements to read one photographers comparison of the two lenses.

If you enjoy vintage cameras then this Pinterest board is for you!

Over at Shoot Fly Shoot you can take online photography and Photoshop training classes (at very affordable prices) along with reading their insightful and inspiring blog!

Hope you have a photography related weekend!
