For Day 3 we would like to know what websites and social media references you use to be inspired in new ways of seeing. Ok, inspired to take photos. Inspired to see in new ways.
For example, Karen knows that I take lots of cloud photographs. So she sent me an article from PicturePerfect Cloud Photography Tips by James Newton. She gets tips by email from this site and the message is easy to share.
Look through your email for your subscribed photography hints or at your bookmarks to see where you go for new ideas. Copy the URLs and paste into a Notes page. Add descriptive information about the site or the specific article. Once Day 3 class begins, we will prompt you to open your Notes page, copy the information with link and then return to Zoom, open Chat, paste and tap the Return key to send.
Possible references are general photography, or specific genres like macro, architecture, landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, travel and sports. Also techniques black and white, night, patterns, composition, and panorama.
The websites will often include other tutorials or tips to explore. On social media sites, you might need to create an account before you can explore. Flickr is requiring my username and password. Oh, where did I put that info? Pinterest is a site where I do not have an account - yet. Instagram (as close as I get to Facebook) has several hashtags related to clouds: #cloudscape, #clouds, #clouds_of_our_world and clouds_and_sky to cite a few.
Covid-19 changed everyone's travel plans. Instagram and Flickr were helpful in researching my trip #scotlandhighlands and now who knows. How do you use social media to plan photography and travel?
