I can't see why a brief description of the photo would harm. I think it's good because if the photo looks nothing like the current event, the description could help with the process of 1+1=2. | ||

I've done portrait work before...not a whole lot, but I've dabbled. If you have any questions, I'll try to help. When I was trying to learn, the best thing way to learn for me was to look at fashion magazines and study other photographers. Just keep an eye out for the technical details: the way they fill the space/compositional balance, the lighting styles (for what you want to go for), and obviously, the way they angle/position the body and the different parts of it (also depends on the feel you're going for). That helped a lot. And as for photoshop, every photographer, digital or not, post-processes their photos. With film, the post-work gets done in a darkroom. With digital, it gets done in a program like photoshop. How much people do in photoshop depends on their preferences, objectives and whatnot.

Example: Fear of heights, darkness, claustrophobia etc. It could basically be anything that you find scary. The picture itself doesnt have to be scary to others, instead it could look really interesting and beatuiful. That sounds like a great idea, actually...lol. I hope you participate in this "summer" one as well! On August 10 2009 00:31 xhuwin wrote: This sounds like a great idea. Question: should we submit any description regarding our photo? Like our own comments, worries, questions, or explanations? That should be completely fine. It's up to NeverGG, though, as she's the one who'll be doing all the work with this.. :X On August 10 2009 01:07 tree.hugger wrote: With the one photo per person limit, I'm going to need to think about this for a bit. I'm excited though! We thought having more than one would make it too cluttered...but it seems like not very many people are participating. :\ Choose your best one!

This and my new digital animation unit this semester just might get me back into it! That was the purpose of this. I'm glad it'll get your rolling again. (: | ||

(: That was the purpose of this. I'm glad it'll get your rolling again. (: 1. Yes - I'll add the list later on today Thanks to everyone who has submitted and commented so far. 2. I need to learn this myself - I think it might be really useful to have a gallery of 'poses' aka. photos we've seen that have different and inspiring poses used. I'll work on this over the weekend. 3. Yes, I shop all my work. Some photos require less photoshopping (I use PS7.) and others require way more. I'm hoping to cut down on this processing time once I have my new set up. We can definitely offer hints and tips for this - although I am not the most experienced at using these programs. 4. I love that suggestion - please PM it to me as per the rules. 5. Yes, that's an excellent idea. I will add it to the OP rules and feel free to do so. We can include the descriptions as a note beneath each submission when they're posted in the OP. | ||

Too bad it's winter here at the moment D; It'll be hard to get a shot that represents Summer. I'm looking forward to seeing some entries :D | ||

Too bad it's winter here at the moment D; It'll be hard to get a shot that represents Summer. I'm looking forward to seeing some entries :D Thanks - well it doesn't have to be Summer in terms of weather. Possibly you could do something that evokes a feeling of 'wanting it to be Summer again.' Or put a Summery item (like a beach ball or something equally as symbolic of Summer.) in a Wintery context - I'd love to see that type of contradiction in a photo. | ||
