Life. Now Photography | San Francisco Bay Area Maternity, Newborn, Baby, Child and Family Custom Photography » your life. right now.

Confession time:  I peruse the web.  A lot.  Probably more than I should.  But there is just so much wonderful information out there!  Especially about photography.  And you KNOW I dig photography.

It’s so amazing to see websites and blogs pop up here and there with the sole purpose of helping people improve their photo-taking skills.  I think it’s safe to say that most people have some kind of camera.  So rally, these websites are helpful to almost everyone!

I came across this site while perusing Twitter and I love it:

http://beyond-snapshots.com/blog

So check it out!  There’s some great info there and they even do contests!!

In keeping with their theme from their January 9th post, here’s a pic of my boys I got while they were in the tub.  It’s my new favorite.

I spend a lot of time on the computer.  A. LOT.  Some people might even say too much.  All my time on the computer, in particular the internet, really pays off, though.  I find great tutorials on everything related to photography and the digital darkroom (aka Photoshop and Lightroom), as well as inspirational blogs that make me realize how wonderful and important photography really is.

One of the sites I love to visit is Mom*tog.  She posts so many tips on how to take pictures of your own kids.  Photographing your kids can be very different than photographing someone else’s kids.  You wouldn’t think so, but it is.  I’ve learned a lot about trying to get good shots of my two crazy munchkins from this site.  She posts her camera settings, gives great advice on equipment and explains things (like white balance, how to buy a camera, etc.) in a way that everyone can understand.

So head on over there!  And then bust out your camera and capture some of your own everyday memories.  I’d love to see some, so leave a link to your photos in the comments!
