Sorry…

I didn’t make myself at all clear….

This is a question I was asked on another website, in fact I have never meet this person. I copied and pasted her question.
The picture of the children was taken by her mother and given to the photographer to be made into a canvas.

(Personally, I would flattered that the photographer thought the image was strong enough use, then I would go in and aks for cheque :D )

I think the really question here is how much compo could come from this?

I love the colours and tones. I love the textures in the background.
I agree I with shutterbug regarding the dots.
I also think that her pants maybe should be a lighter colour, you can’t see any details or texture.

Hey,

I really like this.
was going to say that either more balloons or no balloons would be better. So love the the bunch of balloons!
Small thing – the solo balloons look glossy, but the bunch look matt, I think they should all be glossy. Also I think you should add more colours to the bunch.

BTW – do not like the B/W –

How love to do MA!!!! That would be great.. When I left LSAD all them years, totally broke – I took a crappy ‘Mc job’ in retail until I got my feet on ground, save up – get a studio space and plan the plan the next step. The problem being I never got my feet on the ground, continued with my ‘Mc career’ so Art got put to one side. I don’t have anything like a strong enough body of work for MA.

Hey,

Who is going to running it?

I had a look at the LSAD website and I can’t see anything about it.

Thankfully back in my day there wasn’t a big problem with getting studio time – but then sculpture/fashion and photography were all in Goerge’s Quay, so at least I was there when a space came free.

Interesting…
I didn’t know LSAD were starting photography, I will def be looking into that. LSAD is 10 minutes from my house – also I know my way around… it where I got my degree (sculpture).

I love the image,

It is very eye catching.
I usually hate the selective colouring thing too, but in this image really works.

It helps that the baby is really cutie.

I came across a post made probably on an old site for this community. The question of a forum topic covering disability was mentioned. Actually a link up with the English disabled photographers society was mooted, as well as the notion of an Irish Disabled Photographic Society, complete with support, mentoring, seminars and so forth.

Has this idea born fruit as it were? I’m asking because being mobility challenged from disability I’m a curious participant. I’ve never had any cause to be unhappy with my present club but the limitations that a disability brings are often ignored. I’m sure it’s only done out of politeness but that doesn’t really help. At present I don’t know if I’d need support, but then again I don’t know what supports could be provided, but I am curious.

Hey,

I know this a somewhat old post, I would be interested to know if there such communities knocking around Ireland?
I am an amatuer photographer with Asperger’s, so not a physical disability but becomes with it’s set of difficults….

Anybody on here know anything about the above?

It is almost €700 – which is a lot!!!!

Has anybody signed up for it? Is it any good?

€700! I could buy some nice stuff with that.
So, if you were me and had €700 to spend, would it be glass or class?

Hi Belinda.
Personally, I wouldn’t give up the day job. I think the best ways to up-skill would be to go out with your camera & shoot loads & join a club where you can meet like-minded people if possible. There are plenty of forums & tutorials on the net that can also help. On PI, post some of your work for c&c and don’t worry if you get some negative responses to your photos. These are normally a persons honest opinion, but it is only an opinion. The advice given (even if negative), is usually given to try to help you improve. We all start off as beginners & some of us never get beyond the snapshot stage, while others go on to create great work. Taking on a night class might be better than giving up your job.

Thanks so much for your input. I have learned a lot from PI already.

I do go out and shoot loads, I really should upload more, that’s true.

I would love to join a camera club, I did try evening coarses – however I work in retail… so late night opening monday – friday, I work maybe 8am-5pm on monday 1pm-10pm on Tuesday and so on and so on. I signed up for and paid for a evening coarse, Thurday evening at 7.30pm, out of a 12 week coarse, I made to to 6 classes – working for the other ones :x

I have been looking at on line coarses too, but so expensive and unsure about how you would learn about lighting (for example) if you haven’t got the equipment at your disposal.
