I'm just an amateur at photography, and I'm enjoying reading up and learning about it very much at the moment, after I finally bought myself a DSLR a month ago.
The tutorials on your web-site are EXCELLENT. I'm not really into photographing fish-tanks and or even macros, but I can apply 95% of what you wrote there to my own work, and I literally couldn't stop reading (that's why I only got to bed at 3AM this morning). You are very thorough and you pay attention to detail, and I can see you know what you are talking about inside out.
This is a thank-you. It meant a lot to me!!
Take care & god bless

Hi,
Found your website via a link on the Marine Aquarium Societies of Australia photography forum. Just thought I'd let you know how helpful your site is. Some of the photo's are trully amazing.
I have just got my reef aquarium up and running and to document the process I lashed out and bought a D50 ... would have loved the D200 but we all have budgets we should stick too. I just realised how silly that sounds, coming from someone with a reef aquarium.
Anyway, great work best regards.

This has long been THE site I point people to when they're looking for photography lessons. It's the best I've seen, yet. It's completely detailed yet human language, without being overly techy while still covering all your bases. Congratulations on accomplishing such a difficult task!
I've used this site for many months (years?) always wondering why you weren't a member of ReefCentral.com with your reef tank hobby. Today I found you there! Then I learn this whole tutorial originally spawned from RC. Hey, whatever.. it's a great resource that has long been in my Favorites.
Congratulations and thank you again for your wonderful work.

I stumbled on your
website by chance as I googled for photography lessons. Anyway, you have a
great site and it's really helpful to a newbie like me. I love your write up
on buying the camera online because that's exactly what I have seen and am
struggling with currently. The New York bit is awesome, thanks! You have made
me think. I wish you listed your opinion of Minolta, now Konica Minolta
because I like their new Maxxum 5D and already have the Maxxum 5.

I love photography because I think it is a fabulous form of expression. I think you did an excellent job of expressing yourself using your daughter as a model. She is really cute. She is not bad for an infant photographer. As a matter of fact, I think she is better than me.

I stumpled upon this site from the photography section on reefcentral.com. After reading through the lesson section I've already noticed a huge difference in my pictures and can't wait to see what happens when I get my new Canon G6.
Thanks for taking the time to explain (and giving examples of) why changing things like apeture, white balance, etc, make such a difference.

The tutorial is absolutely wonderful. I had pretty much no knowledge about how to frame and take good quality pictures. After reading this tutorial and some practice my pictures are a lot better. I know I have a long way to go but I keep coming back to the tutorial and re-reading because you always miss something the first few times you read something new.

I found a link for your site on the DPReview Nikon D70 site. I have spent the last three days reading it and taking notes as well as printing out your Workflow pages.
I have been a professional photographer since 1970 shooting film. I recently switched over to the D70.
Even after all those years shooting film I find there is a lot to learn when shooting digital. The techniques are the same but the technology is different.
Thanks for putting up your site. You have done the photography world a great service.

Hi,
Whilst your site is unusual, and the photography nice...
...if you are hoping to attract custom (ie are commercial) I think it's too fiddly or complicated for a lot of users (who happen not to be techie's - ie Mr & Mrs Average).
The need to exaplin the filmstrip and clicking etc. is the give-away, it's not intuative (ie copying an existing GUI ruleset)
