Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 now before you get excited I am not offering to run them because I don't know that much ( i.e feck all ) about taking photos I am sure I am not the only fugee that would like to learn more about taking photos and wondered if any of you that are a bit clever in such areas would be interested in helping dust down the photo area of the board and start some basic teaching , mini masterclasses and challenges for everyone to take part in would anyone be interested ? you don't have to be David Bailey to join in and it should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeadyP Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'd be interested. I have an SLR, and I'm too scared to take photos with it. I need all the help I can get. Challenges sound good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'd be interested too, I'm hoping to get a new camera in the sales, so a brush up on my photographic know-how would be most welcome, I used to know a wee bit about photography, colour saturation, composition and all that bumf, but it was over 20 years ago and most of what I knew has dribbled out my ear holes.

cycas Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'd be interested - but wouldn't the hard bit be finding someone to make the challenges and things? I don't feel expert enough to teach people stuff, am still learning myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'd definitely be interested too. My camera club meets once a month and I find that I take out the camera for a few days after a meeting and then forget about it. So something that would keep my interest going for the rest of the month would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I thought people learning themselves would have stuff to the total newbies ? if someone knows how to take a good photo of a moving object for example they know more than me There are a lot of fantastic photographers here and I am sure a lot of you already know a heck of a lot more than you think and could teach me a thing or two It would be fab if someone could come along to set challenges and help those of you who are not total beginners as well so you can learn new stuff and get stretched if no one is able to teach as such then we could still have a photo competition with a theme every few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I know someone who would be great at the teaching but unfortunately she doesn't seem to be around anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanrossscot Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sounds like a good idea If we had a theme comp, then once judging/voting is done then peeps could talk about what settings they used to get the shot and why etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Jvv Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Count me in! I did do some classes so can dust off my notes and see what sorts of exercises we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why don't we kick it off with a Christmas theme ? and the winner can pick the theme for the next one ( I am sure we did something like that before ? ) I have to nip out to the post office with Sirius and walk my 2 but when I am back I will get something sorted in the photo section Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 A good idea might be to put the photos up anonymously and let board members vote for their favourite. That way there's no bias. Ooooh this is exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
