Nikon launches online photography classes

Nikon launches Behind The Scenes – photography classes for beginners and advanced photographers. The goal of the project is to demonstrate to those interested in photography what their cameras can do. Even though Nikon is the brand behind it, the online classes are practical for people who use other brands of photo equipment as well. The tutorial can be found on YouTube Nikon channel. Its updates can be found on Google+. Behind The Scenes offers fifteen video lessons presented as short but informative master-classes. They are posted online every 2 to 3 days by professional photographers-Nikonists Joe McNally, Corey Rich and Tamara Lucky.

Each tutor offers five lessons in the area of their specialty. McNelly’s forte is lighting. Он обучит основам работы со вспышками Nikon Speedlights. He teaches the basics of using Nikon Speedlights flash. His goal is to explain how to achieve great lighting regardless of the surrounding conditions. Corey Rich’s lesson theme is “Adventures At Great Heights”. His videos teach the techniques of taking close-ups, taping and shooting in extreme conditions, he filmed it in Sierra NV. The third tutor Tamara Lucky specializes in family portrait.

Along with the photos by the professionals Google+ will be posting pictures taken by the viewers, with descriptions of their techniques and their stories.
