It’s a fun time to be in photography

I have learned a lot from other photographers. In fact, community with photographers (both local and worldwide) has been one of the driving forces in me furthering my skills as a photographer. The other being personal research and study.  But, I’ve probably learned most through interacting with other photographers, from tagging along with seasoned veterans of the wedding photography business to peer conversation.

One of the first inspiring communities I joined was the Strobist off-camera lighting blog and corresponding discussion/sharing platform on Flickr.  A couple of years ago, there was an assignment to shoot a picture of a basketball. This assignment was fairly open-ended, but contained a few restrictions (including a maximum of 2 flashes and no Photoshop tricks), making for a fun learning experience for me.

Here was my final entry.
