Episode 42: Online Tools for Photography with Piers van der Merwe

 

Piers is not only my husband, but also the photography teacher at FundaFunda Academy. You can see his work at Onstandby Travel and on Smugmug. Here are the online tools for photography he mentions in this episode.

1. Editing Tools
  • Google and Apple photos
  • Pixlr – Basic version is free. Pro version is $5 a month
  • Adobe Photoshop – $9.99 a month
  • Gimp
  • Paint

    • You can find other ideas here.

    2. Where to store photos

    Popular websites like Flickr and Photobucket aren’t a good idea as many of the photos teens could encounter there will not be appropriate. Better ideas for places to store photos are:

    • Google Photos
    • Apple Photos
    • Dropbox
      • 3. How to share photos
      • Link from the folders in Dropbox or make public on iCloud.
      • Use free websites like Blogger, Weebly, WordPress if you want to share publicly.
        • 4. Online resources for learning more about photography?
        • Camera Simulators
        • Other photographers. Piers enjoys Steve McCurry and Ken Kaminesky. Also take a look at one of his previous online student on Instagram = Isaac Weatherly.
          • 5. Favorite photography apps
          • Magic Hour
          • PhotoPills
