It’s no secret that the world of tech geekery and the world of photo geekery are inextricably intertwined. From small simple apps like Instagram to full-fledged DSLR rigs, the tech set likes its photos. But that doesn’t mean we’re experts by any means.
What if you want to get better at your photography, but you just need a little guidance? What if you could get expert answers to some of those questions that have been bugging you? Well, now you can. Thanks to Learn Photography Tips, a new site from local tech and photo geek, Aaron Hockley.
There are lots of photo resources on the ‘net, but the site will focus on practical tips that anyone can use. Topics will include exposure, gear, aesthetics & composition, special situations (nighttime, motion, HDR), photo sharing, and more.
The new site launches on this Monday, January 17. And what more geeky way to kick things off than with a 12 hour podcast? With live guests even.
Well, you’re right. There probably are more geeky ways. But I couldn’t come up with any off the top of my head. And I thought it was just quirky enough that it warranted a post. I mean, I haven’t been this excited for a how-to show since that awesome “happy little trees” guy passed away.
Hockley will be taking his day off from the day job to share his tips and insights live on the air. And if you find that valuable, he’s hoping you’ll want to partake in more of what Learn Photography Tips has to offer.
