The weekend is upon us once more, and the spring is here, too. If you're planning to go outdoors with your camera, you might be interested to know that BBC Wildlife Magazine offers over a score of photography Master Classes for free, in PDF format.
Each "class" is a richly-illustrated four-page tutorial, which seems to be taken directly off the pages of the magazine; the one I looked at still had the original page numbers -- 67 to 70.
While some photography tips are timeless (composition, light), it's nice to note that the information presented is quite timely -- the tips all come from issues published in 2006/2007.
Since it's a "master class", there is a lot of emphasis on who's presenting the information. These are all experienced wildlife photographers who stand by their words. The tips presented in the issue I reviewed were quite elementary, but were solid nonetheless -- advice such as "it's not what you include - it's what you exclude" emphasizing the importance of correct cropping, or "be aware of the light" (#1 photography tip, I think).
So, DownloadSquadders, if you're in any way into wildlife photography, this is one resource worth checking out.
