Welcome to my photo tutorials. And no, there is nothing to join and no fees, but simply for the love, the joy and the unending pleasure that I get from photography, please allow me to share some of that pleasure with you.
l do hope this site will be helpful to you. If so, please tell your friends!
As yet, I cannot yet consider my work to be of a high professional standard, but I'd say, at least I know enough of the theory to get by on. If there is one major thing I have learned about photography, it is to me like most things, you have to be prepared to start at the beginning and the most important thing of all is to have a complete grasp of your camera's operator's manual. it is no use trying to learn the finer points of photography, if you don't have a good knowledge of jhow to work your camera. Before you start, please be aware that these tutorials do not go into the depths of photo editing programs, although I would like to recommend one here if you don't have one already. It's FREE, it's by Google and I find it to be extremely helpful for most of the essentials of photo editing - pretty much all you will need in fact. It is called Picasa 3 and it is available through Google.
I don't intend to blind you with science. Although there is a small degree of technical jargon, but nothing that I think the average photography enthusiast will have any problems with.
The tutorials are designed to assist those wanting to learn the finer points when making images. They cover some of the manual workings of your camera as well as many different shooting situations, as you can no doubt see from the index listing.
If you do not find something that you are looking for today, then please look in some other time, as I am continuously building the site and more tutorials will be added to it from time to time. You can also contact me for advice...FREE!
I do not profess to make you a better photographer. Only the amount of commitment and devotion you are willing to give will determine how you proceed. I have merely provided some of the tools that may help build your knowledge on the subject. Like most things - you can only expect to get back what you put in.
By the way, if it is self-assurance you are looking for, you may be interested in joining my photo critiquing club, "Friends For Finer Photography". If so, for information about the club, click HERE and let me know if you are interested, so I can fill you in on how to join. Again, I hope these tutorials will help in some way, but if you have any problems or issues with any of the content, or would like to know more about a particular topic, I may be contacted HERE via my personal web site home page. I will be pleased to assist where possible (NO STRINGS "OR SPAM" ATTACHED). In the meantime, be my guest, enjoy the read and "GOOD LUCK" with your future photography!

For me, all I ask is that you let me know if these tutorials have assisted in improving your photography and camera skills. I understand how difficult and frustrating it can be, when you feel you have found your niche in life, but just can't seem to improve or get anywhere. I discovered that there were two ways I was going to learn how to produce reasonable images, spend a lot of money on lessons or start buying or borrowing some books in the hope that by studying this great pastime I might improve my camera skills. So I opted for the latter and I've studied and studied and still study now, and my photography knowledge, has grown out of sight. I also joined a local camera club and would fully recommend that for beginners. You'll find it a great help confidence-wise.
