    OCA The Art of Photography Course Discussion - Part 2

    I also passed, but with 58%, which I'm quite disappointed about. Admittedly, I was less disappointed when I saw the range of marks given for AOP this time round. I'm really grateful to have been given some feedback, but at this time I don't understand it. I need to concentrate on the technical...

    OCA The Art of Photography Course Discussion - Part 2

    Hi DaveF66 It is strongly recommended that you start with TAOP, as it's the introduction for the course and provides the building blocks for the other modules. However, if you've done similiar before then it's possible you can skip that module altogether with an Accreditation of Prior...

    Great image. Congratulations on the recognition :) The lightening here was very impressive and I did consider photographing it, but it was 6am..

    Thanks Warren, that's all really useful information. I'm really annoyed about the fees increase, all universities have protected status for their existing students, but that means nothing if the fees gradually increase anyway. The OCA should have predicted more people would sign up, or otherwise...

    Thank you! I'm really surprised and flattered that I was chosen. It's useful knowledge for future if nothing else, and if you do get the Look/13 press pack you'll know what to expect for future. I really like your write ups from both study visits btw. There was quite a lot about the Bank...

    Oh, and regarding the 'light through the day' exercise... I did consider doing a time-lapse, but I have a very small and boring backyard, and nowhere to really leave the camera. I don't think that exercise is worth the time or effort it will take, for me anyway. Part 4 is already long enough!

    Urgh, I'm running so far behind.. Alet and Byker it was good to meet you both in Liverpool. I've finally written up the Liverpool and Sheffield study visits, and am currently writing up the additional degree shows I've seen. The Liverpool study visit ended up being two posts...

    I'm currently making my way through the lighting part of TAOP too. It's slow going, and I've decided to give the 'light throughout the day' exercise a miss, but otherwise I'm getting there. Not sure about the assignment yet though. I'm going to the Liverpool study visit too. It'll be good to...

    Fuji X20 Thread

    Thank you, that's very kind. I have the protective covers (the box mentioned a single cover, hence the initial confusion). The charger might be useful to have though. I've managed to dig out an adapter from my large box of old tech, but it's not ideal. I'm waiting for a final response from...

    Fuji X20 Thread

    Thanks Allan, that's what I needed to know. I paid £460, but Amazon have offered a £40 goodwill refund (it's not their fault, the product doesn't come with a charger or manual, etc). I think I'm going to accept this, as the camera seems to work fine. I will continue to complain though because...

    Fuji X20 Thread

    I'm not, which is why I've complained to Amazon, but if I can find out about other people's experiences of buying at X20 in the UK it might strengthen my negotiating position. It could just be that Fuji have only released a generic European version.

    Fuji X20 Thread

    Thank you, that's a really helpful response :) From your list and after rereading the reply from Amazon, it looks like it's just the adapter for the plug that's missing. I'm surprised at the lack of English printed manual though. But neither things are the end of the world. I'm looking...

    Fuji X20 Thread

    I hope this isn't covered further up the thread, but I need some help. I very excitedly bought a X20 from Amazon and it arrived yesterday. However, when I opened the box, which had no seal, there was a French and a German manual, but no English. The charger plug was two-pin European and...

    OCA The Art of Photography Course Discussion Including Assignments and Submissions

    Hi Warren I'm just looking ahead for options for the future. I'm never going to have time to overlap modules unfortunately. I'm afraid I don't use Windows or Mac OS. I use Linux, specifically Ubuntu. I don't want to have to buy another OS or go to the trouble of installing it, moving all...
