Olympic Picture of the Day Check out the daily happenings in Salt Lake. Starting February 9th, visitors to the site can check out the latest photographs directly from the Olympic venues. Each day the site will be updated with the latest photos of the athletes in action. See the moments as they unfold for a first‐ hand look at the incredible action.  

 

My often given advice to all aspiring photographers is this, if you want to learn to take great pictures you have to study great pictures. The single most important tool to every photographer is a great eye. Training your eye to see a great photograph is the first step. Long before you put the camera to your eye, you have to see the scene in a way that tells you "this is a great photo." The reason most people are consistently disappointed with their efforts is that they don't "look like the ones in magazines." And they won't, until you learn to train your eye to understand what makes the ones in the magazine look like that.  

Think about it this way. Why do you like a certain photograph? What is it that strikes you? What captures your attention? What makes it a great photo? Now look for ones that you don't like. What makes you dislike them? What is wrong with them? Why do they fail to capture your attention? This is called training your eye. Studying Kodak's Olympic site will help you to understand what the professionals do, that you are not doing. Look at the best and compare it to your work.
