National Geographic Photography Tips
When I was a little girl I used to always look at my father’s National Geographic magazines. I was always captivated by the amazing images of wildlife, landscapes and people from far away lands. For a brief period of time I wanted to work for them. But sadly, the cost of cameras, lenses, and developing steered me away from pursuing photography in college and into graphic design.
Recently, my husband got a new fancy smancy SLR camera. It’s soooo nice! One day, while chatting with my dad over about the recent camera purchase, my father mentioned that National Geographic has a whole photography tips section on their website. They give easy to understand tips and suggestions on shooting all the things their photographers are known for: people, travel and action shots. They also have galleries and biographical information on their photographers. Jodi Cobb took the photo used in this post.
On a non-art related note, I also recently discovered that National Geographic has a series of short survival guide videos. I’m sure these will come in particularly handy as I combat the urban jungle of Shanghai.
