Over the past week, we took a look at . Some of these sites I’ve used extensively in the past; others, I just learned about this week. It was nice to take a deep look at these different options, though, because some real differences emerged between the different websites that…

In a pairing that seems all too natural but, until recently, unknown to me, Adobe has entered the field of photo sharing with Photoshop Tools. The website is kind of like a browser based version of Lightroom and/or Adobe Bridge. It’s got that sleek, grey Adobe feel, and you can…

The first photo sharing site I remember using was Photobucket. I was selling something on eBay, don’t even remember what, and I wanted to host some pictures.  Or maybe I was posting some pictures of a miniature I painted. Not entirely sure anymore… It’s grown up and cleaned up a…

About Digital Photography How To

Digital Photography How To is intended to be a guide to people learning how to use their digital SLR cameras. Three years ago, I had never picked up a camera; now, I produce a yearbook every year and I moonlight as a professional photographer.

I write this website to share what I've learned in that time. The topics will range from truly beginners topics, to tutorials for post processing, to resources for yearbook and graphic design, to thoughts on transitioning from a hobbyist to a professional.
