Midweek Geek Links for 05-29-2008

Here’s some interesting links that I’ve come across in the past week.

• Vincent Versace was recently a guest blogger on Scott Kelby’s blog, Photoshop Insider. Check out his article on Being Taken by Your Pictures.
• Learn lighting with the Strobist Lighting DVD set. David Hobby, the man behind one of the greatest lighting blogs on the web, Strobist.com, recently released a set of DVDs that discuss his favorite topic; off-camera lighting. You get eight DVDs with around ten hours worth of quality content for $139. I suggest skipping lunch for the next 3 weeks and grabbing a copy of the DVDs.
• There are some interesting ideas being posted in the comments section of The Best Photo Tip I Ever Received… over at Digital-Photography-School.com. Check it out and post your favorite photography advice. Personally, mine is “Get closer.”
• Interesting in taking your photography to the next level? If you’re interested in evolving your hobby into a business, Dean over at Photopreneur.com suggesting finding a specialty. This is a bit of advice that is echoed in Seth Godin’s book, Purple Cow. A good way to set yourself apart from the competition is finding a niche and focusing on it.
