How to Improve Your Photography

I am often asked so many questions about photography. "How can I take better photos?" "What are the best settings for sports photos?" "What is the best camera to buy?" "What lenses do I need?" "Is there a lighting set up you recommend?" "How can I get that great blurry background?" And so on, and so on...so I thought I would do a blog post about one of my favorite photography basic photographer and author, Bryan Peterson.

I want to start by highly recommending that anyone looking to learn photography basics start with his book, Understanding Exposure. In this book he breaks down the basics of getting started in photography. It is as if you have a photography teacher standing right next to you helping you out. He has several books that you can jump into if you want something more advanced or challenging like, Understanding Shutter Speed, Understanding Close Up Photography, Understanding Flash Photography, and many, many more.

His books made such an impact with me when I was first invested in learning this art for a career that I took an incredible workshop with him in Oregon. It was so much fun and it was one of the most motivational and out of the box style workshops I have ever attended. The best part was I left the workshop with incredible images and a desire to get out and to shoot more.
