One thing that every photography can benefit from is having a sound understanding of the fundamentals of photography. Knowledge of things like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focus, light, and composition make up the core building blocks of photography. Looking back at my personal photography journey I made one huge mistake. Instead of investing my time and energy into gaining a sound understanding of the fundamentals I just floated along with my photography using trial and error to get by. As you could imagine it was a huge waste of time and differentially something I would have changed if I had the chance. So in saying that I don't want you to waste all that time like I did. I've found the perfect ebook called Photography Essential Skills by Pro Photographer Brent Mail that will teach you everything you need to know about the essentials of photography in an easy to understand format. Do yourself a favor and dont waste loads of time I did. Brent's been kind enough to give 3 Colors subscribers a super discount

Something that really makes me angry is when I get told by a photographer, "I was told I have to buy insert name of expensive camera gear here to get great images." It really takes the wind out of your sail and makes you feel like you'll never be the photographer you want to be because you can't afford to drop 2k on that new lens. Well, the good news is gear doesn't matter and it's not the key to being a good photographer.
