The school where Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates cut their teeth has uploaded the entirety of its photography course to ALISON – one of the many repositories of online learning courses. The course consists of twelve modules that cover the fundamentals of photography – from software tools to composition and light. There’s also a thirteenth module which serves as an assessment of all you know. If you pass this with a score of 80 percent or higher, and you can get yourself a diploma to print and hang on your wall.
There is a caveat though: The course itself is from 2009, and while the fundamentals are still true, some of the lessons on software tools aren’t exactly current. Via Konbini.

The best aerial photos from the Drone Photography Contest 2016. Drones have a strange place in our society.
On the one hand they’re used as military surveillance, on the other they’re a fun toy bought for spoiled kids who crash it after a week and move on to the next tech trend. Somewhere in between those extremes, drones are quickly becoming modern photography’s next frontier. For the third year running the annual Dronestagram International Drone Photography Contest has proven that drones have moved on from a niche novelty to a tool for photographers to send their cameras sky-high – turning drones into a serious form of photography in its own right. Supported by National Geographic, the international competition awards the most jaw-dropping, innovative aerial shots from all over the world. Professional photographers to amateur enthusiasts alike from around the globe have submitted more than 6,000 pictures, but judges had to whittle down the entrants to a lucky few winners over three categories: Travel, Nature Wildlife, and Sports Adventure.
