I notice that when some of the new photographers post here they seem to be asking the wrong questions, and not really getting at the subjects that will really help them.

Here is a fairly long but interesting video clip of a guy giving a PowerPoint brief about photographing models. I don't think it will do much for veterans, but it might help the new guys with stuff I learned the hard way.

To give you an idea of the technical level covered, after he says a smaller f-stop number means a bigger aperture, a guy in the audience complains it is over his head.

The speaker starts off saying he never took a photography course, just snapped a lot of photos and learned along the way. You can see some his work here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kk/

I like learning stuff over again. No matter how many times you have heard the same stuff sometimes you hear something new or in a dif way that is helpful.
