Best online classes...

For everything from lighting to the ins and outs of a camera

Lynda.com and Scott Kelby's site have a lot of very professional videos. They aren't free.

A local photography professional recommended to me John Gringo on Creative Live for a video on how to use the D810. He has many other camera model classes as well. In my opinion it was excellent advice and well worth the money! Note, that Creative Live will run sales as well.

After starting with the above, I then purchased a couple of the Lindsay Adler "Posing" and "Portrait" how to videos on Creative Live and they are very good as well. No regrets.

Another vote for Lynda.com. It's a plethora of photographers with a variety of experience.

Our city libraries provide access to lynda.com for "free" (Yeah, I know my taxes paid for it). Check if your local library has it as part of their on-line resources.

Ive been using Creative Live. Has lots, of offerings in different areas. Frequent sales and you get to Keep the videos. I found I wasnt getting my money's worth in Kelby One.

It seems there are two types of sales methods for training. Creative Live you purchase the product and you can go back and look at it anytime. Others you have a monthly subscription. I assume if you quit the monthly subscription you can't go back and review.

Do any other users have thoughts on this? I personally just started Creative Live a couple months ago and am not several years into this.

I did the 80D class on Creative Live and it was really, really, great.

For photoshop, I'd recommend Phlearn

Strobist for flash lighting, and Youtube obviously

I go youtube and learn from there

A lot of Lynda tutorials are on YT for nowt! (That's northern UK speak for free or nothing). I also suggest the online webinar courses from Shaw Academy. They're live, and you can ask questions. First course is usually nowt, but you need to find a link. Search Shaw Academy first course free. I did the wedding photography course (bought on a Groupon for £18 as a birthday gift) and loved it. The general 'Photography' course syllable looks good and if I didn't know 95% of what is covered I'd've signed up for that as well. There's also a monthly subscription plan with unlimited courses, so I guess that's what the Creative Live subscription model will be.

I have found great value on Brooke Shaden's classes on Creative Live.

These classes help with things like mindset, creative expression, and inspiration, which I find to be more meaningful to my photography than instructional classes that are about the "nuts and bolts" of how to do things. . Her classes focus more on developing the proper introspection, and why to do things.
