First of all, Happy New Year 2018! 

Well, I don’t know about you, but for me, 2017 was an interesting year. I had a lot of highs (going to Colombia and Morocco) and lows (breaking my ankle there), and even some new opportunities (welcomed a new tour leader to our team – Daniel).

But one thing I do know for sure is that we shared a lot of great tips and articles with you here on Digital Photo Mentor. So I decided to do a little roundup of some of the most popular ones over the last 12 months to give you a little reading to start off the new year.

Our most read articles

Here are the top 13 articles based on how many times they have been viewed:

  1. 5 Mistakes Beginners Make Using a Wide Angle Lens and How to Avoid Them
  2. 25 Famous Photographers in History
  3. How to Use a Gray Card for Custom White Balance and Metering
  4. Using Shutter Speed to Freeze or Blur Motion
  5. 5 Photography Ideas for When There’s Nothing Interesting to Shoot
