Digital Photography Tourist: NYC - Online Training Useful

18 October 2007

So today we had an awesome visit in the city. We walked around Times Square, went to the Empire State Building, watched the Bryant Park area get shut down due to a major construction accident, and went to B&H Audio, Camera, Etc Warehouse, etc.

One of the things that entrigued me most about Times Square was the number of people who peddling Photographs of Tourist taken in on the sidewalks. These people were outfitted with your typical pro-sumer digital SLRs and small format printers. Each of them selling to tourist: I’ll take you picture and give you a great print right now!

At first we (my husband & I) thought, wow… that’s an interesting way to do it.  Then, as we keep walking there was at least one person every block of Times Square selling prints and frames.

I told Jeremy - I need to brush up on my Digital Photography skills… There’s some great money here!

But alas, he reminded me, that’s why we have Rick Sammon and Rob Sheppard on board with xTrain… Cus people like me need a little more help working the camera and tweaking the pictures.  I will say this, I’ve attended every class with xTrain, and my photo skills are getting better… just gotta work on getting the Great Shot first and not sweating the shoot ‘n go pics.

How are you doing with your xTraining?
