Great Photo Tutorials

This free digital photography tutorial site will show you how to take better photographs. Each photo tutorial will help you turn your 'snaps' into a picture that will delight your viewers rather than bore the pants off them.

Most of the content of these tutorials applies equally to either digital or film photography.

Modern digital cameras, and film cameras, take care of the technical details for us, but because of this, rather than in spite of it, our brains are lulled into non-thinking, automatic mode, we think the camera is going to do it all for us. The most important pages of this site, therefore, are the photography tutorials.

Click here to see a list of all the Tutorials on the site.

On the photography tutorials page you will find an introduction to the articles which cover many aspects of photography both artistic and technical, or you can just wade in and start reading using the menu on the left.

If you are not a big reader or just want a 'quick fix' solution to a problem, try the Top Ten Photography Tips page first.

Video Tutorials

There are two video tutorials showing some of the basics in Photoshop Elements, one on how to use the curves adjustment and one on how to use levels. Hopefully these will become the first of a series covering all you need to know about photo editing. Let me know in the forum what you think of these, are they easier to understand than a text tutorial?

Once you start getting some good pictures that are of interest to others there are plenty of opportunities to make a bit of money selling them online. Have a look at my article Making money from your Photographs for some ideas on how to get started.

If you get bored with just reading, try your luck in the Photo Quiz. It's just a bit of fun but you might learn something too.

Don't miss the member gallery where you can see many photos taken by photographers from all around the world. It is developing into a friendly community where you can give and receive advice to help improve your photography. Don't be shy, upload some photos.

The latest addition to the site is our blog which is written by members of the gallery who regularly submit their work for discussion and offer their opinions and advice to others.

I was delighted to (belatedly) discover that this site was given a five star review in the prestigious British magazine Computer Shopper.

Enjoy these great photography tutorials.
