xTrain On the Right Trac with the Addition of Digital Photography Training
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 17, 2007 -- xTrain.com, the leader in on-line video training for media, arts, and design, is pleased to announce the addition of Rick Sammon's SLR photography training sessions to its on-line training library.
Photographer, digital guru, workshop leader, lecturer, author of 27 books, magazine columnist, television personality, and all around fun guy Rick Sammon joins the cadre of top-ranked media pros Russell Brown, Rob Sheppard, Ron Lemen, Ben Willmore and many more who share their knowledge and expertise globally through xTrain's vast on-line training library.
When asked why he joined xTrain and how he found the time to shoot his five digital SLR photography training sessions, Rick comments, "Hey, these guys are the best. They have the best technology which includes a 5 million dollar studio and High Definition cameras, and they have an unbelievably talented production crew. What's more, they work with several of my digital imaging friends, and I am pleased (make that thrilled) to sign on with xTrain. In four days, we shot two on-location training sessions and three studio shows. How cool is that that?"
Rick's on-line training sessions include Exposure Modes, Digital SLR Basics, Snapshots to Great Shots, Wildlife and Travel Photography, and Photographing People in and around Dallas. Rick, who probably teaches more workshops and seminars than most pros, said this about the classes, "After viewing a class, which is like attending a private workshop with me, students will have an understanding of why it's much better to make a picture rather than simply to take a picture. That's the key to becoming a better photographer."
Rick likes to make learning fun, fast, and easy. He says, "Check out my sessions and you'll see that it's easy to turn all your snapshots into great shots -- indoors and outdoors, with and without a flash, in bright light and in low light -- no matter what camera you use. I like to make learning fun because that's why we all got into photography in the first place: to have fun and to feel creative."
Free previews and sample lessons from Rick and all the xTrain instructors are available 24/7. For more information about xTrain, please visit www.xtrain.com.

Diffusion & Softening of Digital Photography Images
Like many people who've made the switch from film cameras to digital,
I've discovered that the lens tools I once used so effectively on my
cameras to soften, diffuse and vignette my images for quality "finished"

have discovered that some tools still work okay under some
circumstances; my Ziess Softar #1 seemed to offer decent results when
photographing a single subject in the studio but I knew that the black
netting diffuser that I used with my Lindahl Bell-o-shade no longer
worked on the Nikon D70 zoom lens at the wider angles without
showing lines in the image.
