With today's photo technology, almost anyone can pick up a camera and create a photograph that is well-exposed and in focus. And if you take enough pictures, you're bound to get lucky and create a few "keepers" that impress family and friends. But eventually, you hit a wall; you know you're relying more on luck than skill. Even learning to control the fundamental, technical components of the craft-shutter speed, aperture, and ISO-only takes you so far. The real challenges remain: How can you learn to make good images consistently? And how can you really start to "see" photographic possibilities all around you?
