GS Photography Classes With Dubaiwali

Re: GS Photography learning classes with dubaiwali

Hold up people. The ‘learning how to take a proper picture’ comes “AFTER” Eid!! Read through the thread people!! Right now we are doing fun exercises to pass the time! I agreed that main lessons will start after Eid, because everyone will be busy in last 10 days of Ramadan and first 3 days of Eid. I want to see people edit photos, so I know the thought process and how much people know, before I start teaching them! This is why I asked all of you to take a picture of something in your home and post it in this thread!!

@WendyDarling

are you saying my decorating skills are not good enough?

Thanks for the advice!! I’ll crop it

And I do agree with you that we should learn how to take proper pictures before we start editing.
Maybe DW can post 2 pictures of the same objects. One in a way that’s a photography no-no and one in a way that looks better on camera???

What may work in real life that is combined with many objects may not necessarily work in a photo. I have dozens of pictures that looked great in real life and didn’t have the same effect in a picture and vice versa.

Re: GS Photography learning classes with dubaiwali

Yes, edit the photo that you posted. In your opinion, what can you do to make it better. I want to see the edited version. Not Picnik because they’ve gone out of business. Use Picasa.

@Dubaiwali

All right guys, I need to know what level you all are at.

Homework time: I want you guys to take a photograph. Post that photograph here, in this thread. I want this done in the next few days, before lesson number one begins. Take a photograph of anything that you can find in your home. A product or a thing. This is the most easiest assignment ever. Shoot it in the most aesthetically pleasing manner. You should ‘feel’ the thing/product looks good/nice.

ABSOLUTELY NO EDITING. Not even adding of borders or your own name on the photo. I want photos in the raw form. As you took them. You can do whatever you want, while taking them, to make them come out better though; but no post production for now.

There will be peer reviewing involved. DA, could you PM everyone on the class list, to remind them of this assignment please?

Post your work to an external site and paste the link here for everyone else to see; including me. I suggest you use Flickr. Actually I want you guys to make a Flickr account if you don’t have one and use that for your homework assignments.

Re: GS Photography learning classes with dubaiwali

@kakee

most of the time I forget to take a camera with me when I’m out and I miss a great shot. My SO thinks I take way too many pictures only because he would take 2/3 pics if he went an event while I would pick 30/40 pictures out of about 80 pics that I took.

hey kakee i wanted to ask shoul i enroll your name for these photography classes n include you in pm list for updates, plz confirm?

[Dubaiwali]

Re: GS Photography Classes With Dubaiwali

Actually Annie! The photo has somehow gotten a sepia tone to it. Did you add it deliberately or ended up with it? It looks nice.

[Dubaiwali]

Re: GS Photography learning classes with dubaiwali

Exactly! Dreamy.

Well tbh I don’t see the point in including me in the massive PM because I can see it through this thread can’t I?
as I said if you’re learning the basics I can just hover around but I don’t see how the classes would benefit me since I’ve already gone through the stuff I just want to be critiqued and critique others as well as possibly make suggestions.

I have more of an art view than a point and shoot when I’m actually doing a shoot. A lot of my pictures are just point and shoot…while trying not to get lost.

Re: GS Photography Classes With Dubaiwali

You are most welcome to participate in this thread when critiques are going on. Apart from that, I did promise you a separate thread and I’m going to discuss about that with DA and get back to you on that.
