| Does anyone have an opinion - either way - on Penn Foster or ProudPhotography.com? I'm looking for something that will guide me along. I've tried the local high school night program, but the teacher read directly out of a book for 10 very long weeks. It wasn't worth the time or energy. I've ruled out NYIP because there are such mixed reviews. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. |

In relation to proudphotography.com
looks like bullshit to me.

*
Using high ISO in low light
*
Super-creative fisheye photography
*
Zoom lens tricks
*
Amazing macro photography
*
How to use special filters, from multiple image to soft focus to color to polarizing
*
How to use fill-in flash and reflectors
*
How to use slow sync flash
*
How to create multiple exposures on one frame of film
*
The proper way to shoot against the light
*
How to piece together multiple panoramic shots
*
How to capture ooh and aaah-inspiring fireworks
c'mon...
how to use filters? How to capture fireworks?! using High ISO in low light? Jeez. These are the simplest things in the world that have been answered a million times in this forum and countless others and nothing that can't be learned by either getting out of the house and doing it, or by a google search.
I'd steer clear of this site. It looks crap and cheap, has stock pictures all over the place and doesn't seem to be offering anything worthwhile, but just a method of stealing your money.
I say forget about it.
ETA: what exactly are you looking to learn?

| Yeah, what are you trying to learn? Your shots are great already! They couldn't possibly benefit from those novice-sounding programs. |
