HELP! Is this good online training for photography and editing or would I be wasting money?

You would be much better off taking classes at your community college. For photography, someone needs to see your photographs. That would be harder with an online school.

i agree with your husband... online photography classes are pretty worthless. to learn about photography and to get good input on your photos it helps to take the class in person. its hard to critic a photo that has been scanned onto the internet. if thats really the only way that you can do it then you might get some good out of it (if you are a beginner). however i would recommend taking a trip to a one week (or weekend) photography workshop if you are really serious about this.

It appears to be a credible site and company. I say go for it!

Being that you live in the middle of nowhere where there aren't any photography schools should definitely provoke you to take online courses.

The simple way to put photos up for sale is to set up an account at one of those sites that accepts any photos from anyone and upload some photos. You probably wont sell much. Your best shot at actually selling photos is to submit them to a site that has real buyers in large quantities looking at photos. They're not going to sites that accept anything from anybody because they don't want to look through a bunch of crap trying to find a good photo. They're going to a place like iStock that screens submissions for quality. You have to submit three images and have them reviewed before they will accept images from you for sale. The upside is, the people viewing your photos are actually looking to buy. If you have technically strong photos, it's your best bet. If your stuff is average, try the D place.

Well I know nothing about this particular site, but tell your husband if online training were a waste of time, then books and dvd's must also be a waste of time.

I learnt most of what I know from www.kenrockwell.com and also reading photography magazines.

I think that you can learn alot from it and that its the best thing for you cause of where your at. Trust yourself and if you believe that you can grow from this training then go for it.

Good luck.

you will learn something, a good place to start,

hubby is correct i think, nothing beats "teachers" and "structured leanring" or "schools"

many disagree but i have noticed schools and teachers are popular worldwide - esp those who want to learn well and fast - thats why we send our kids to learn at schools

I say go for it. I looked it over and it looks decent to me.
