I have added a new article to my website. Let me know what you think. I believe it will be helpful to the novice photographer as well as the more advanced.
Histogram, the Key to Understanding Exposure

Here is a fun tip for photographing spring flowers. Try photographing a spring bouquet through a sheet of textured glass. The further the glass is from the flowers the less defined they will be. There is a variety of textures available depending on the look you would like to achieve.
How I processed this image, was to take two photographs, one with the glass and one without, while the camera was on a tripod. Then I combined the two photographs to control the amount of texture.
Let your imagination run wild and enjoy.
Thanks Dan

Here are three images taken by one of our students, Michele Deans, while on our Photography Basics for Beginners Workshop. It was a beautiful morning and afternoon. We had fun working with our students and wanted to share some of their images taken that day.
