Free Online 11-Week Digital Photography Course by Former Stanford Professor
Recently found a free online 11-week Digital Photography course by Former Standford Professor Marc Levoy
I’ll admit the I did take at least one college-level course when I was at Towson back in the film days as I was primarily interested in Black and White photography darkroom techniques. But these days there are so many resources available on the internet to learn photography I have not taken a course since.
I’m all about free, so I”m always on the lookout for good resources and this is one of them.
This course is not for everyone, but for those who like the lecture format of a college-level course and are looking for something that covers the science, artistic, and computing aspects of photography, then this might be for you.
According to the site, this is the public version of the course that he use to teach at Standford. It does seem to be a very popular online course and please read the RED text section on the home page with regard to the video lectures that go along with this course.
The site contains video lectures, lecture materials, and course assignments if you so choose to do the assignment for fun.
Rather than rehashing the details you can read on his site I’ll just say go check it out and see if it is for you at

Free Five-Week HDR Course
A Free Five-Week HDR Course from Macphun
As you can tell from earlier posts I’m a user and big believer of Aurora HDR and that HDR is one of the types of photography that I like to do. I’ve often thought of doing some of my own lessons on the subject, but why should I reinvent the wheel when there is already a great set of lessons out there.
I’m going to take the course myself as I know I can always learn something new even on things that I have done for a while. Nothing worse that doing something a certain way and finding out you have done it wrong all along. I’ve found there is always one little tip or trick that I never thought of in these courses. For the rest, it is just a confirmation that I”m doing things correctly and it is nice to get a confirmation that you are doing things right once in a while.
The Essential HDR is for you if you are new to HDR photography or just new to Aurora HDR, this course will introduce you to the essentials of HDR photography and an introduction to the use of Aurora HDR.
The Essential HDR course is broken down into 10 lessons.
- The HDR Basics
- Exposure Brackets
- Tripod vs Handheld HDR
- Exposure in HDR
- Natural HDR
- Pick the right location for HDR
- Black and White HDR Photography
- HDR Textures & More
- Masks and layers n HDR Processing
- Deep dive into HDR Photography
Each lesson consists of a detailed explanation of the topic, along with an easy-to-understand practice assignment that reinforces the lesson. You can start anytime and if you miss a lesson, just look back in your inbox for that lessons email.
So are you ready to get started a becoming a better HDR photographer?

Nik Collection from Google – Now Free
Google announced on March 24th that the Nik Collection of photo editing software is now Free to everyone.
A few years ago,Google purchased Nik Software
Nik software has been highly recommended by many a photographer to me, but that was around the time Google purchased Nik Software so I didn’t buy it as I was waiting to see what Google would do with it.
I have not used the software yet myself so for now I cannot give you my opinion of it, but go ahead and download it and see if it works for you. There is no manual per say, but they do have an extensive help center along with Tutorials under each program tab on the download page.
It supports both Mac and Windows. Review the system requirements at the bottom of the download page to make sure it is compatible with your OS version and hardware before downloading.
Here is a link to the announcement Google made on March 24th.
