I have found that my equipment is quite limited to take portraiture shots outside of college. I have three lenses for my camera, so emulating some of the images I have been inspired by out on location rather than in the studio is a no go. I could borrow the lighting equipment which Steve has shown us how to use but has to be booked out. I work in London during the week so have found it quite hard to keep up with the written work, working long hours up to 18hrs a day.
I thoroughly enjoy the practical side of the course which is why I enrolled and although I fully appreciate I need to research techniques and photographers the written side of the course can be a little overwhelming fitting in with life in general.
It would be quite nice to have more experience working in a studio other than the college studio. I have been speaking to other students and will hopefully get some location experience shooting weddings in June 2010.
Hi Natalie, I hope your well and snapping away! As you have guessed I withdrew from the course after I felt I did not learn anything that i could not do at home. I did send an e-mail to Steve at college on the 30th March regarding my concerns about the lack of structured teaching (added to my blog) but no response from steve?
ReplyDeleteI hope you and the rest of the class is doing well and I will keep my blog going and link to my picasa web album any shots I take. I hope that we all can get together sometime and catch up. Take care Roland
