A few months back I bought my first digital camera, and have already taken about 2000 pictures with it, probably throwing at least half of them away soon afterwards. You can see some of my photos on Picasa, and others on Flickr, mixed with other types of images. Actually, I started writing this post after returning from another photowalk in Copenhagen, where I covered ’søerne’ (’the lakes’) and adjacent areas. On some of my photowalks I can’t believe how many of the old buildings still stand, especially after the Germans invading. The photowalk consisted of 4-5 hours of photography with a few breaks for beer or coke.

- another photowalk I’d recommend for the Copenhagen visitor is the ‘CowParade’, consisting of a number of cows spread around Copenhagen in interesting locations, and if you walk there you will certainly find other places as well ….

Of course, I used Picasa on some of the photos, working miracles instead of making me throw them away. Another tool I was considering is Picnic, allowing me to edit online so I don’t have to keep track of which computer I started with (I consistently switch between three computers with different OS) and instead let me take a break and then continue on another computer seamlessly…

For the apprentice photographer like myself, I would recommend PhotonHead, and especially the camera review. But of course, you can also learn much from for example 10 ways and many other sites which can tell you about the arts of light, composition, posture and stance….
