Top Articles in 2017 on Digital Photo Mentor

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.
