Photo by keith011764 via Flickr Creative Commons I'm always looking for new photography classes to take, thinking that if I were to take a class I'd be able to a) learn new skills without having to make a whole lot of mistakes before the "aha" moment and b) probably practice on a lot more regular basis than I currently do. And there's always that wonderful c)... I'd meet some cool local shutterbugs to hang out with. But every time I start the search for new classes I run into two hiccups. First, they're often really dang expensive -- laying out $250 for a weekend workshop or (gulp) $2,500 for a week-long retreat is something I just can't seem to get myself to do.

I'd rather spend that on new glass and walk around the city shooting like mad on my own. Second, they're usually at times and locations that don't really work into my schedule. Thankfully, there are some incredible online classrooms that we can rely on for when in-person classes just don't fit the ticket for whatever reason.

The privilege of viewing earth from space is only granted to a very select few. The real kick is, we’ve seen images like this before, created in special effect studios in Hollywood.
