Hi Everyone,
I've just signed up and received my pack. Looking forward to getting stuck into the 10 photographs required for module one.
Anyone else in the same position?
Cheers,
Nick

Hi
I've just received my pack too and plan to go out this Friday to see if I can get some good shots. I hope I'm write in thinking that the subjects for module 1 are open to a little interpretation?! Or maybe I'm trying to be a little too creative? 
Scott

Hi to all!!
Am working my way through 1st chapter of course book. Haven't yet submitted any pics for module 1. But I have a question re: bounce flash. I recently attended a John Clements Nikon Creative Lighting course(I have a D2X camera) and was wondering which technique produces the most effective/pleasing/ shadowless lighting for portraiture:
1. Bouncing the flash from a SB800 flashgun from the inside surface of a white brolly or
2. Using the SB800 gun to diffuse the light through the brolly. This second technique was demonstrated by John but I didn't get the chance to ask him?
Comments anyone?

Hi, thought I'd introduce myself here as I'm not allowed to start a thread yet  I've sent Elliot a PM so hopefully will soon be up and running.
The course materials have just arrived and I've just read the module 1 assignment. Does anyone have any tips on what is expected for the notes? The booklet seems to imply some form of self-assessment and refers to chapter 1 of the book. As far as I can see though chapter 1 doesn't have any guidelines for this part of the assignment. I've probably missed the obvious but any hints would be welcome.
Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave
My view is the self assessment is a very important part of the course module, it is a way of showing what you have learnt and how you have or intend to apply it to your photography. Of course not everything goes according to plan and it is important also to highlight this and explain where things worked well and where they did not. The tutor needs to be sure that you have understood the course module, this is demonstrated partly through the images produced but also through an explanation from you of your understanding. I hope this helps. Best regards and good luck

It does thanks Andy. Since reading your posting I have looked at the first picture for my Module 1 submission and started to write down what I was trying to achieve and why. It's not something I've done before and whilst it wasn't easy it was very illuminating. Thanks again for your thoughts. Regards

Hi Dave,
Welcome to the course. What Andy has said is correct, but try to keep your evaluations short and sweet. I think they suggest no more than 100 words.
Good luck with the course.

Hi Everybody,
I've recently received all my course paperwork and am itching to get started though it does all look somewhat daunting especially when I have seen the astonishing quality of some of the work in the galleries. When I've plucked up the courage and have got the muse I'll start on module 1 and if I get very brave,and can master the technology, I might even post some of my work on flickr!
Regards, Andrew

Just started myself, have got three iqages left to do for Mod 1.
Only problem I seem to have is the slowness of this site, it cannot just be me, but other sites load far far quicker than this one - or could this be due to the fact that I am using firefox???

Hi, I started this week too. For mod 1 I am planning on submitting a couple of existing shots but mainly ones shot specifically for this module over the next week or so. Aiming to get them submitted by mid-May - what about others?
Looking forward to working with you all
Regards

Hello Everbody,
I had just received my course materials yesterday. Seems like I am the only one started the course in June 2008. Anyway, I am from Malaysia and currently staying in Scotland.
