Summary: Jeff Harmon share the top 10 things he learned during the 2017 Improve Photography Retreat.<br> <br> Advertisers for this episode:<br> improvephotographyplus.com $19.99/mo<br> macphun.com/luminar offer code "PHOTOTACO" for $10 off<br> <br> Top Ten from IP Retreat 2017:<br> 1. Not a “relaxing” vacation, exhausting, yet amazing<br> 2. So much fun to be around a lot of photographers-share interest of photography-nerd out together<br> 3. Fail upwards-embrace the experience of “failing”=learning<br> 4. Room to learn more about the exposure triangle for everyone from beginners to level 3-4 or higher<br> 5. Trying other genres of photography will stretch your skills<br> 6. Helping other photographers is so fulfilling and fun<br> 7. My gear is heavy I found out as I dragged it around for 4 days and nights through downtown Phoenix, deserts full of cactus, hiking up mountains,dragging it through hotel lobbies/rooms/crowded elevators, convention rooms, restaurants, and transporting it in the car<br> 8. Sharing and asking for feedback on your work with others can be uncomfortable, but will help you improve your photography<br> 9. Add depth to your photo<br> 9A. Pay attention to your contrast in your photos-look for ways to add depth to your photo on the screen<br> 9B. Notice the saturation on the photo. Too much-no good, too little makes it look flat<br> 10. Improve photography is a group of people who have formed a community to assist each other in improving as photographers. You can’t find that everywhere.<br> 11. Learned so much at this conference to improve the conference to be even better next year. Looking forward to seeing you in Charleston in 2018.<br> <br> Other Resources:<br> Vote for Jeff’s “Cull” module idea to be added to Lightroom: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/less_redundancy_actions_during_import_into_lr_instant_rating_during_import<br> <br> Photo Taco Archive: http://improvephotography.com/category/taco/<br> iTunes review link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/photo-taco-quick-photography/id980781096?mt=2#<br> Facebook Photo Taco Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/phototaco/<br> Photo Taco Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/phototacopodcast/<br> Photo Taco email: phototacopodcast@gmail.com<br> <br> Jeff’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/harmon_jeff<br> Jeff’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/jsharmonphotos/<br> Jeff’s Portfolio: http://jsharmonphotos.com<br> Jeff’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harmonjeff/
