While I haven't done this in some time, I gave a presentation to a local
camera club a few weeks back. One of the members asked me after the
presentation in the Q&A session that I had included some images that didn't
follow the rule of thirds. So here are my three most important things to
learn about TAKING pictures which is a COMPLETELY different activity than
making print.
Learn how to put film in your camera.
Learn how to control the field of view; appropriate use of depth of field,
what field, how to show motion and not.
Learn the "rules" of photography and break them as often as needed.

Subject: [pure-silver] photography teachers top 3
For those that teach photography, Im just interested in some new techinques.
For that matter you don't have to teach, just have an opinion. There are
several things that I believe are often missed when the subject of
photography is taught. Rather than a David Letterman Top Ten list, how
about we just keep it to the top three. What are your top 3 that are either
missed all together, or people you come in contact with just seem to not
understand.
My personal pet peeve is that EVERY student whether they want it or not
needs some experience with film, both color and black and white. Don't get
me wrong digital is a wonderful tool and I use it just like almost everyone
else here, but I have found film to be a much better teacher.
I have decided to do something rather unique. I am going to a CVS
photography course this Sunday. Thats right the drugstore is teaching
photography. I am just going to keep quiet and see just what happens. In a
week or two I am curious as to the look I might get if I walk in with a
Canon body with L glass on the front. LOL
Also if there are other photographers out there that would like to trade
links, drop me a not off list. Im always looking for new resources and
links to improve my site as well.
