Use Your Words

Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love free and I love photography!

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this list, actually.

So, I'm not quite done with the free photography links.

Two things I love are photography and free.

Since I start my new day job this coming Monday, I'm slacking a little and just sharing some kind of random links about basic photographic technique.

With Apple's recent announcement that they're letting Aperture die, without really replacing it, photographers of all kinds are looking toward Lightroom as their photographic management and processing tool.

Happy Independence Day!

For those of you outside the U.S., today is the day we celebrate our independence as a nation by barbecuing and carousing and having parades and, most of all, by firing fireworks.  All across the country, there will be fireworks displays, both large and small, and there will be photographers at everyone one of them with tons of gear trying to capture that feeling in an image.  My personal suggestion is to just go and enjoy the show, but, if you absolutely must take photographs, check out the links below for tips before you go!

I'm going to take a slight departure from my normal free stuff on Friday posts.

Don't worry, this is still free, but it's not just a "click here and look at this thing" kind of post.  This week, you'll need to actually do a couple of things to get the full benefit of this post.  Basically, it's a little Summer DIY project for the mildly geeky and social.

No, those quotation marks aren't ironic.

Yes, today is Friday the Thirteenth.
