  • does anyone know of a place (website/book/anywhere) where i can find a great photography test? so that i can test my own knowledge?
    or ever more than one test..

    i just continue reading, taking notes, reading, taking pictures, etc.. i just want a way to know that it's all sinking in.:blushing:


  • Best way to test your knowledge is out there with your camera in your hand.
    And why would you want to test your knowledge? I mean, the level of any photographer is determined by the photographs he takes, not by the quantity of his knowledge about shutter speed aperture etc.


    well i only want to test my knowledge because i'd like to possibly be a photography teacher some day.. i can't teach if i'm not able to take tests myself and make sure that i know--and able to explain/teach-- what people seek to learn... taking tests is just one way...;)


  • Shoot in RAW...read the EXIF data...Explain the outcome...Open Lightroom and predict an outcome based on using a slider before you actually use it...Get Understanding Exposure and when you feel like you can anticipate what the next few paragraphs are about & explain how they fx photographs, you deserve an A in science. I'd say that when you have @ least 10 photos that you find artistically pleasing from the 20,000 you've shot you deserve a :thumbup: in art, but not an A.:camera:

    have a good one

    you've read my mind...that's exactly my standing point.
    i took basic photography two times (among many other photography classes after taking the first basic--and passed with A's only because of my artistic ability). the first time (i took basic) i couldn't care any less about anything technical in photography.. i just wanted to have my merry way with photo taking and print images my self... the second time (this summer), all i was concerned about was learning the science.. but i still need more..practice practice practice...


  • i can go out and create as many beautiful pictures as i desire--because i do understand the basics..but when someone asks how i'm doing it, that's when i stumble a bit...

    My opinion, read, shoot, shoot again, read again, shoot, shoot, shoot, a bit of reading followed by a lot of shooting. There is no photographer which learned to take pictures by reading books :D

    Good luck. :)


  • http://www.dpreview.com/ look at this and read some camera tests, then see how much of it you really understood, also take a look at the glossary and cover up the meanings.
