For much of 2014, I have been on the road for Lynda.com, producing the series, The Traveling Photographer. The latest episode, on London, has just posted.
Hard to believe it, but we have now logged over 50,000 miles. In addition to Hong Kong, Dubai, Paris and London, we have just finished filming the New York City segment, which will be published soon.
For more information about the entire series, see this earlier post.
I am happy to announce that Strobist’s video series, Lighting in Layers, has by special arrangement been adapted for the video tutorial site Lynda.com. Those of you who are Lynda subscribers can now view the videos there. (This includes Lynda’s many corporate subs, so check with your company.)
Last week saw the launch of the first segments, which are primarily aimed at beginners. Additional sessions will be released each week.
So even if you are not a newb, stick around. It’ll get more complex soon enough…
