I’ve never photographed fireworks – though would really love to after seeing the different firework pics on the forum. So, I feel a bit bad critiquing when I’ve never tried myself. 🙂 First thoughts after looking at these is that they’re really amazing shots! There’s something festive feeling about firework pictures.

Here goes!…[Read more]

@bennett-family, 😀

Thanks for your answers, @jamesstaddon! Ok, I had a feeling I got myself a bit confused there. 🙂 I actually hadn’t really learnt about all the different types of light until recently when I did the ‘iPhone Photography Course For Parents’ by Shultz Photo School that came with the photography bundle. They had a whole bunch of videos dedicated to…[Read more]

@joseph, lovely photo! The colours really complement each other and I love all the texture in the wood.

Something I found a bit distracting in this shot is the white dots on the left-hand side of the wood. Perhaps you could spot removal them? There also seems to be a lot of blank space in the top of the image and left hand side (not necessarily…[Read more]

Thanks so much for your critique, Lydia! It’s interesting hearing about why you do/don’t like an image. It can be easy to biased on your own photos, lol! I’d have to agree with you about the first one feeling close. Ha! 🙂 No, I doubt he realises his foot is a natural modeler (ok, so new word here!). 🙂

In regards to the last…[Read more]

@bennett-family, oh, good! 🙂

Lol, @bennett-family! So, does it look like the real deal? 🙂

Ok, just ignore the above messages! I made it in time. Phew! 😉

This was a more challenging assignment. I mean, I don’t know about everyone else, but it’s not everyday that I throw money in the bin (trash)! 😉 Also, you guys having a different currency to Australian’s made for an interesting predicament. So, I printed off a bunch of American…[Read more]

This is the closest thing to a piggy bank we have! 🙂

@jamesstaddon, I’ve taken some photos for both the current assignments. I’ve been out all day and brang my computer planning to submit them, but I couldn’t connect to the internet at my Nana’s house. So, when I get home I’ll do it, but it won’t be for a couple of hours, which I realise will be your morning and the assignments will technically…[Read more]

I’ve contacted the Character Curriculum Team to so they should be making their decision on whether or not they will be using any of these pictures for their booklet.

@jamesstaddon, this assignment is still open to the end of today, right?

Awesome!
I just thought I’d submit this other angle, too. I know it’s too late for the webinar, just if anyone else critiques them. 🙂

Sure, I’ll send you the RAW files soon. It’ll be great to step through it together – then you can show me all the steps I’m missing as I really have know idea what I’m doing. Lol 🙂

Please don’t feel like you have to change your plans around just for me if that day suits the other person. We can reschedule to do it some other time.

@jamesstaddon, I forgot to ask, do I need to do anything else?

Looking forward to it!

Oh! Do I need to book it?

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, @jamesstaddon! We were away for a few days and then we’ve a bit been busy. . . So, I’ve had a look at the dates and October 18th (actually 19th for me!) works – Does that work for you? In regards to working out the time difference! (worldtimebuddy to the rescue! 😉 ) We’ve just started Daylight savings,…[Read more]

@kina, gorgeous picture! I don’t really have any tips for you, but I thought I should mention that I believe those lights in the eyes are called ‘catchlights’! 🙂

@kina

You know, you can do the Bible Bee and qualify for Nationals even if you live in another country – one guy comes from Greece every year! Bible Bee has been such a blessing to me (not to mention the motivation I needed to memorize God’s Word! When I’m not doing the Bible Bee, I hardly memorize anything at all!)

Interesting! I can’t see m…[Read more]
