Ted Leung on the air: Open Source, Java, Python, and ...
David Hobby has posted the first of the assignments for his Strobist Boot Camp. I'm definitely going to try to complete as many of the assignments as I can. This will be the first time that I've ever taken pictures that I intend to have critiqued, and I'm feeling a bit self conscious about that aspect. However, I know from experience with open source software that good critique is important to growing as a photographer.
The Strobist stuff seems to be pretty popular. I've seen David's blog cited in the DPReview.com and Fred Miranda forums. Also, David's publication of the "Starving Student" Off Camera Light Kit has single handedly wiped out the stock of Westcott Foldable umbrellas at a number of major photo shops. I know, because I just got a bunch of stuff from the kit, with the major exception of the umbrella, which is going to make the first assignment kind of tricky.
Here's a shot that I took while goofiing around with the kit with the kids last night.
