Everyone likes getting something for nothing, especially when there's no or relatively few catches.
Freebie Friday is the post where the
MacNN staff find stuff you can make use of this weekend, without spending a penny. In this edition, learn how to take better photographs, edit images, start your own website, listen to Johnny Cash, and occupy your time with some free console games.
If you have bought a DSLR or another expensive camera, and want to get yourself out of "Auto," try out the
Photography Course and Certification offered on MacNN Deals. Ten on-demand lessons are offered, explaining the finer points of aperture, shutter speed, light metering, color temperature, and other important aspects of photography. Aside from helping you get the most out of your camera, you will also receive a certification proving you completed the course.
Taken some images and need to retouch the photo?
Astropad Mini allows you to use an iPhone or iPad as a graphics tablet for your Mac, allowing you to make edits with your finger or a stylus instead of using a trackpad or mouse. The app is free in the App Store.
