I'm thinking about switching majors this fall to be a journalism major (CS made me hate computers, so I have to stop). The program at the school I'll be transferring to is heavy in writing, but I'm kind of wanting to emphasize photography a bit myself. I have a really basic camera with very little in the way of customizable options, and I'm using iPhoto to organize and edit my pictures.
Basically, I just want some pointers to get myself started with some basic stuff this summer, then when I get back to school in the fall I can be more prepared for my photography classes. My only real attempt at editing a photo is in my flickr gallery (
http://photos.benwyatt.com - yes I registered my own name, I really am a nerd). If anybody could give me some general pointers or some links to good free online tutorials, that would be great (I'm broke right now, so no books--yet).
