IDEAS FOR FUTURE LESSONS
Everyone can contribute to the Photoskop. If you have something to share with the photographic community, it is easy to do. As a photographer, you can develop, perform the shooting and bring to life an interactive lesson or even an entire course that will help anyone to learn visual art of photography by visual means.
There are many things to contribute as a photographer.
Here is a short list of ideas which we will be glad to implement in our future lessons with your help

Shutter speed: Waterfalls
In this lesson we want to explain how the adjustment of the exposure time from short to long affects the resulting photograph of very dynamic scene, such as the moving water. Use a wide range of exposure times from short (1/250) - to freeze the water, to very long (seconds) - to show how beautiful and fascinating patterns emerge from seemingly random and chaotic water streams, waves and whirlpools.

Shutter speed: Road trails
In this lesson we use long exposure times to perform the so-called "light painting" using the lamps of moving cars as a source of light. Moreover, this lesson should help to deepen the understanding of the exposure triangle. This is done by finding a balance between the exposure time, the aperture, the ISO sensitivity, and their effects on the noise level and image quality in a low light conditions.

Shutter speed: Fast train
This lesson will explore more on the creative use of the exposure time to produce a dynamic image of trains, vehicles or other moving objects. In this lesson, we employ a relatively short exposure times since the velocity of the moving object is fast and results in motion blur. And since the environment is generally well lit, the issue comes again to balancing the exposure triangle in a thoughtful way.

Shutter speed: Water drops
Freeze the motion of liquid drops to reveal interesting dynamics and shapes. Use any liquid - water, milk, paint. You may perform a really interesting and systematic shooting with a varying angle of view, different focal lengths, and any other parameters you know will contribute to the creative effect. However, in this lesson, keep focus on the exposure time as the main parameter which influences the appearance of water. We want to show the effect on 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, so on, shutter speed values.

Shutter speed: Moving crowd
Capture the pulse of a city, visualize patterns of moving crowds and reveal hot spots and ghosts of the city. Start with a fast shutter speed of 1/125 second and increase is progressively to a very long exposure times. It can be real street photography, or it can be staged. Lets' capture the motion of New York, Paris, Tokyo and other cities and compare them!

Lenses: Landscape portrait
The idea of the lesson is to start bridging the skills of the camera control towards image composition. By exposing the viewer to the images of human figures in astonishing landscapes and by giving an ability to see the effect of varying focal length and cropping you will assist the understanding of fundamental rules of composition and more specifically the effects of the focal length on the perspective, objects-to-frame size relations, and many more.
