Awesome Tutorials & Useful Links

Since picking up photography in January of 2012 I have been working non-stop to learn and improve my skills. Included in the following pages are the links to tutorials and other information that I could not have done without.

I approve each one of these tutorials and find them to be great learning tools. Some are free some cost a little bit of money. The ones that  cost a few bucks are well worth it and provide massive amounts of info at little cost. Upon using each of these tools to learn the techniques, you will have enough info to start building your own style, for me, that's when things really started getting fun.

I use tons of software when I process photos & two of my favorites are Topaz Labs or HDR Soft the Makers of Photomatix.
