Why KelbyOne is #1 in Combining On-Line Video Training, Live Events and Member Benefits

My friend Scott Kelby and yours truly after recording our class, Travel Photography: Portraits of Locals (soon come).

KelbyOne is #1 when it comes to combining on-line courses and live-learning - and in putting on one of the coolest learning opportunities for photographers: Photoshop World, where I had the honor of being one of the instructors this past week.

Sure, one of the reasons I like these guys is because they did a great job producing the 17 classes I have on their site.

In my classes I show end-result images and behind-the-scenes shots. Here I am showing some Sri Lanka stick fishermen some of the images I took of them with my Canon 5D Mark IV and 24-105mm IS lens.

But then again, the KelbyOne team does a great job on all its classes, taught by the top pros in the industry, many of whom are my friends!

But there's more:

As a KelbyOne member, you also have access to nationwide seminars, Lightroom and Photoshop User magazines and cool discounts.

And don't forget The Grid (airs every Wednesday at 4 PM Eastern), which is a free, weekly KelbyOne on-line program that can help you become a better photographer. It was a blast being Scott's guest a few months ago. Check out the show!

Scott also has an awesome blog, Photoshop Insider.

I hope to see you at Photoshop World 2020 or on the KelbyOne forums. More good learning, more good fun!

"Life Lessons We Can Learn From Mother Nature" is two e-books in one

Click images to enlarge.

One of my favorite e-books, Life Lessons We Can Learn From Mother Nature, is actually two e-books in one. The two part, 105 page e-book is on sale for $2.99. Payment is to ricksammon@mac.com via PayPal. Once payment is receive, I’ll send you a link to download the e-book.

Please be sure to include your email address so I can send you the download link.

Part I - Life Lessons (pages 5 - 54) features uplifting, self-help quotes that I've matched to some of my favorite wildlife and scenic photographs that illustrate the messages of the quotes.

Part II - Photo Techniques (page 56 - 105) is a quick guide to nature photography with photo tips and Exposure Information (EXIF) for every photograph. You'll see what lenses and camera settings I used – info you can use in similar situations to turn snapshots into great shots. The location for each photograph is listed in this section, giving you some ideas on where to go for great Mother Nature photographs.

You can read the 105 page e-book in less than a half and hour – but I think the "Life Lesson" philosophies will stay with you for a long time (maybe a lifetime) – if you take the time to think about the messages of the quotes.

The photo tips are easy to read and easy to digest – so you can keep these "Photo Lessons" fresh in your mind for your future photo shoots.

Here are just a few pages from the e-book. As you can see, I had fun matching my photographs with the quotes. I also enjoyed sharing my photo tips and EXIF info.
