Yep, it's a but of a gloat but I've had so many obsticals during the course, so I think I'm entitled to gloat! LOL

I'm feeling quite proud of myself so thought I'd share!

I finish my course next week (good and bad I suppose) and today we had to do a presentation. In my wisdom (or lack of) I did macro photography.

Today I went in and half of the class is there. The tutor, Ian, asks me how my presentation was, I said "well...finished...obviously, it was supposed to be done for today" so he replies "come on then, show us your presentation" so I was first up. Presentation on Macro photography, how to do it, what it is, etc etc.

Throughtout the day there was 2 others who also did their presentations. One chose landscapes and he told us his memories of all of the landscapes...but nothing of any technical or practical, educational use.

Another guy chose journalism photography (he presented his some hours later) and spoke about the news story that each image was used for. So again, nothing about the photography (and seldomly who the photo was by)

So I was a little shocked with their presentations in all truth.

Anyway, the tutor said later when he sat next to me, "your presentation was really good, look at this marking sheet. ALot of your marks for the presentation will be in this column here" and pointed to the distinction column :woot::woot::woot:
 
It is a good feeling when you have worked hard and you get the marks. Got a first on a presentation at Uni, we were the last group to present and you could see the looks on the other groups faces going "oh ******, we should have made ours like that". It was a sweet feeling, like yours. Enjoy the moment.
 
thanks guys

yeh, I;m a happy chic tonight and proud of myself, cause I've proved to myself more than anyone that I'm not completely useless and I can do something and even if I miss half the lessons cause of health issues, my work doesn't suffer, which is a big achievement for me TBH. Ok...enough of the sob story lol

Out comes the nobbly bobblys! lol

Niiiiiice. :thumbs::D:D
 
Well done! Sounds like the other 2 didn't put anywhere near as much effort in.

Good choice of subject, I love Macro.

I'm starting college next month doing photography, can't wait!!
 
thank you

Macro was a kinda difficult subject for a presentation if I'm honest, there's so little that's really written and it can be a bit difficukt to find famous photographers. The subject itself is fine (I like macro alot) but there's alot of conflicting definitions on the net and in (the few that are written and you can get ahold of easy) books. So I kinda shot myself in the foot a little.

Still haven't found out how macro came about though, lol. It's one of those subjects where there's a billion pictures and a seldom few words TBH.
 
well done! What type of qualification will you get at the end of this?
 
:woot::clap: gloat away, I would :thumbs: Well done you :D
 
Bit late, but well done! ;) Nice to have a buzz every now and then. You obviously have worked hard for it. :thumbs:

Kev.
