I wrote a short travel photography guide this past semester for a class. I've compiled some valuable tips from various readings. I hope you guys find it helpful!

Most of the pictures were taken last year during my backpacking trip to Europe. You can find my portfolio at http://tshphoto.zenfolio.com/

I find Rick and Jason's podcasts [here http://podcasts.nikonians.org/ ] both educational and inspirational, and I'm writing this as a long-term Olympus SLR user...

Some people hate to read or just have difficulty learning from books only. Need to be shown. DW is one of those people.

She's found the web tutorials at www.adorama.com to be very helpful to a beginner like her.

The problem with the Kelby formula (I have been a photographer for a while now, and got started through the kelby kool-ade) is that it's very much recipe-driven...

To achieve shot D do A+B+C

This approach may be well and good if you happen to be in that exact scenario, but more and more it's moving toward a subscription based service and is not really teaching much about photography, it's more trying to get you excited about learning formula A or B.

I very quickly learned about this strategy and while it may be good for revenue, it's certainly not the best approach for the student. if you really want to learn about photography, I would not recommend the Kelby books or the NAPP membership. I am letting my membership expire as the information there is getting less and less educational and more and more leaning toward infotainment.

I'm much more of a "teach a person to fish" mentality rather than giving them a fish. The book referenced by Bryan Peterson is an excellent read, as are the Ansel Adams ones on The Camera, The Negative, and The Print. There are so many free resources out there these days for learning about photography, paying to learn the basics is just nonsense. If you want to learn about creativity though, there are some great resources out there that have both free and paid-for products...the best part of the paid products is that they are one-off purchases and do not requre subscriptions. With that in mind, the best sites to learn from imho are:

Luminous Landscape
Strobist
Digital Photography School
Craft & Vision eBooks (these are only $5 a piece and pure gold - full disclosure, I am an affiliate...)
Canon Blogger (you don't have to be a Canonista to enjoy the content...) (full disclosure...this is my site)
PhotographyBB Magazine (full disclosure, I am one of the staff writers)

There's more of course, but that's a good "open sourced" list of photography content to choose from.
