Jerry,

I’ve been watching Izzy’s DV podcasts and ran across yours this morning. My daughter just purchased a nice digital camera and I’ll have her watch your video to begin learning these techniques.

What a great way to demonstrate a technique. The before/after comparisons I especially like. Its a “here is what you can do and how it improves your photos” comparison that lets you see what the results an amateur should look for.

Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

Steve

I’m so excited about this site! I’m the organizer of the Long Island Photography Meetup and I’m about to post this site on my site (http://photo.meetup.com/410/) … I also told my husband about how great your lessons are, so he’s going to check out the Rolling Rs site. Fabulous, simply fabulous. Thank you! (And from your lessons, you can tell how much your kids love you!) ~ Adrienne

Eric, one of the best ones I would purchase first is “the best of PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY” by Bill Hurter and Amherst Media. The reason is, that all the portraits were not done by just one photographer and his/her style. They were done by several top notch pros and they are wonderful. Each has their own style, and it will be a real inspiration to you. The ISBN is 1-58428-101-4 and should run less than $30.00.

Good luck!

Wonderful couple of photo lighting podcasts. This is just what I was hoping for. The only problem is that I want more! I’m having a hard time finding any good books on the subject. Can you recommend any? - Thanks.

Nice start on that new podcast.
I like Izzy’s DV podcast and now I’m also looking forward on some quality episodes on digital photography. Thanks for sharing!

I’m very interested in the practical side of digital photography, especially when you’re “on the road”, not carrying along a bunch of fancy equipment, but basically a digital camera and a tripod. I’m pretty shure there are many ways to improve those “quick and dirty” vacation shots to make them look a little bit more professional.

Greetings from Switzerland

Nice tutorial, looking forward to more!

I always use the “auto” button on my Fuji S5000 camera, maybe after a few more of your episodes I’ll feel more comfortable using manual settings.
