I’ve been receiving a number of inquiries (like this one) as to whether I’d located the 10th edition Photography (London, Upton, Stone) Companion website. A logical question, considering that both the 8th edition and 9th edition have had companion websites. After a little digging, I discovered that yes, there is a Photography 10th edition companion [...]
You might recall that I reported a few issues with the Photography 8e online quizzes. Well, I’ve been informed that might be more than one error on the Photography 9e online quizzes too. Ch. 9, T/F #2: The tool options bar lets you choose the tool you want to use from the top of the [...]
Yesterday evening I participated in a webinar offered by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA): Certification Process from Start to Finish. I was honored to be one of two panelists sharing their experience on the Certification process. The attendees asked some great questions (well over 100 questions were posted to the Q&A), and I learned [...]
OurPPA is the online community for members of the Professional Photographers of America. If you’re not a PPA member, you can still access a few areas of the forum, so I’d encourage you to check it out either way. I have been a member of OurPPA since its inception in 2005 (give or take a [...]
I recently received an email from a photographer who was studying for the Certification exam — and it was mentioned to me that I hadn’t written anything about the Image Review portion of the certification process. So I decided to fill that void. “I should have no problem taking and passing the written portion of [...]
I recently found the online study guide for Barbara London’s “Photography” 9th edition. So, I wanted to share, since this is now the “official” version being used for the Certification. Of course, content usually doesn’t vary too much between editions, which is why some people I know have used older editions of Barbara London’s “Photography” [...]
Authors: Leslie Stroebel, John Compton, Ira Current, Richard Zakia I admit, I haven’t completely read Basic Photographic Materials and Processes yet. But I wanted to give you an idea of what the text covers. It is actually very interesting to me, and I plan on completing the text soon. Basic Photographic Materials and Processes discusses [...]
Photography 9e can now be ordered on Amazon.com (released in 2007). In case you’re still contemplating the purchase of this text, you may want to consider just ordering the newest edition. Although I can hazard a guess that the layout, text, and topics covered won’t change too much between the editions, I think that some [...]
If you plan on using the companion website to test how much you learn each chapter, please be aware that there are some “issues” with a few of the questions. I recently used Photography, 8th Edition as a study guide for earning my certification. I found the Companion Website to be invaluable (http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_london_photo_8 8th edition [...]
Everything you wanted to know, even some things you didn’t! Going into the certification process, there was not a lot of information available to me as to exactly what I needed to do to become certified. Of course there’s the certification website, which does provide the basic information; but to get a full feel for [...]
