David Hobby is a working photojournalist and does fantastic work on-site. It&amp;#x27;s one thing to control light in the studio, but quite another to bring your flashes to a random site and improvise.&lt;p&gt;Hobby used to have a DVD set for sale which was probably the best money I&amp;#x27;ve ever spent on photography stuff, but unfortunately it doesn&amp;#x27;t seem to be available anymore. (It appears he&amp;#x27;s got some videos on Lynda.com, however.) I understand technical aspects of photography quite well but I learned a ton about creative, improvisational lighting from Hobby.&lt;p&gt;[1]: &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;strobist.blogspot.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;strobist.blogspot.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Exposing Digital Photography (2015)</title><url>http://digitalphotography.exposed/</url></story>

In essence, this course doesn&amp;#x27;t teach you photographing but rather, how to maximise what you get out of a digital photograph. Definitely taking it, such a short course anyway.&lt;p&gt;I wonder if the actual photographying is taught in any (free) online courses? I&amp;#x27;ve enjoyed the little nugget called &amp;quot;FART for Fantastic Photos&amp;quot; [0] by Ken Rockwell, especially how it in its simplicity reminds one to focus on the subject, that&amp;#x27;s what matters in the picture. Kinda hope there would be courses that take the same idea but for 10 hours or so.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.kenrockwell.com&amp;#x2F;tech&amp;#x2F;fart.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.kenrockwell.com&amp;#x2F;tech&amp;#x2F;fart.htm&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Exposing Digital Photography (2015)</title><url>http://digitalphotography.exposed/</url></story>
