Hello Guys,

Just been slated by a pro tog..... so instead of crying i want to improve my photography.

im looking to improve my

  1. Portraits
  2. Children
  3. Landscape
  4. Wedding

Also i want to get the most our of my camera.

does anyone in newcastle want to help me or know of any part time courses (evenings) that will help me.

Cheers people...
 
don't know of any courses sorry to sa, or tutors.

But can i ask in what way were you slated? i just looked at you flicker and i liked you photographs. ok i am no good at this lark but i know what i like.
 
I subscribe to that too and it's spot on for the areas you want to work in.

Watch a tutorial and then try to put some of it into practice is how I'm working on it. You might have to get onto modelmayhem or purestorm and get yourself some subjects to work with (That's how I've been doing it)

The real benefit of this though is that it can be done at home and I also upload bits to my ipod so I can watch them at any time.

Covers weddings in great depth and the book is a perfect addition to the 5 part DVD series. Portraits are covered on location, in the studio and commercially. The mentor series is great to watch someone else being taugt and I had a real "Blooming heck that's what I want to do" moment watching one. :)

The photoshop series is hard going if you try to do all 12 parts at once but break it down and it's great what you can learn.

What it does not do though is MAKE you watch it or even try to shoot it. No homework to hand in so you do need to be disciplined about watching and putting it into practice.

You can log in and watch some freebies on the lastolite products to see if it's a style of learning that would suit you.
 
at the moment i dont have £200 to spend on anything like that..

i wil bear it in mind though for when i do get some money..

is there any free websites that offer tutorials?

Ali.
The system requirements state "The video training on PhotoTraining4U is provided as streaming flash video" .But I take it from your comment about the ipod that you can download videos as well. Which format downloads can you have?

Cheers
Neil.
 
Downloads are in mp4 format for phototraining4u....

I am studying with Amateur Photographer magazine which requires you to work through various topics and send in homework which is then marked and sent back with a full critique of your images...

I think it was about £299, with various freebies including the chance to buy CS4 for £230...

Would just like to say Im in the same boat. Got a D90 still haven't mastered yet but working on. Im new to DSLR photography but I have been reading loads of books free to read in the library + magazines. I have also been checking out other Photographers websites. Check out famous photographers photos too. I Joined twitter and there are lots of tweeters that are photographers and give out a lot of advise or tweet photos. Your photos look promising to me. Keep it up.

All the videos stream as Flash video. Selected ones can also be downloaded as higher res MP4 files for an aditional £2.99.

I have tried ripping one of the streamed videos (which didn't have the option to download) with FLVripper, so I could watch it when offshore for a month... and it doesn't play correctly :shake: Oh well :dummy:

Still some good info contained though :thumbs:
