Last weekend I led an introduction to digital photography workshop with a small group of friends and remembered what a valuable experience it is to pass on skills to others. Not just as a rewarding experience but also as a learning opportunity for yourself.
No matter how well accustomed you think you are with an idea or skill, explaining it in detail and answering the questions of others in relation to it tests your knowledge and broadens your own understanding.
A day and night of talking about aperture and shutter speed has got me dragging old techniques and projects out form under the bed as I recall some of the work from the past that is laying unfinished and some of the ideas that went by the wayside before they ever got legs. Time to take a another look.
