Tutorials

The Land of Waterfalls Camera Club provides informative tutorials during the monthly meetings. To download the tutorials in PDF format, please click on the tutorial from the menu on left side of website. Viewing the tutorials requires the free Adobe Reader.

As we embark on a journey of learning about the craft and art of photography, a couple of questions may come to mind. Where am I on the photographic path? What level of photographer am I? There are as many answers to these questions as there are photographers to ask them. However, the Luminous Landscape site has published a series of three essays by George Barr that may serve as an interesting and useful road map for considering these questions. You might want to read George’s ideas, and see if they fit for you.

“Taking Your Photography to the Next Level” by George Barr

Part 1   Part 2   Part 3

 The tutorials are in PDF format, and some are available in two sizes – with and without images. The images make the tutorial more readable but increase the size of the download file which may be a consideration for lower-speed connections. Click on a tutorial to view it.
