Hi Katherine,

Do try to spend some time with the various threads on good resource photography here throughout the Forum. There are a number of inherent "lies" in photography, and in order to learn how to compensate for them, you do really need to practice from life.

When you begin with a flash photo,as in the above drawing, you start with a handicap that is pretty much impossible to overcome. By getting your resource photos under your control, you can make the time you do spend practicing with them much more productive in terms of developing the skills (value, color, edges) you will want to gain as soon as possible.

Good luck!

PS There's plot of work on ALL our horizons, and that is indeed what makes it so much fun!
