Amateur Photographer & What Digital Camera: Diary of my work

Hi Claire - just spoken to Elliot - he has my module now - going out special delivery tonight - so now I am getting the jitters!!! There's no pleasing some folk - sad I know! Anyway - I will let you know how I fared tomorrow night, after I've come home from my night school Photoshop class - don't some people lead exciting lives! Anyway I'm hoping this is now going to spur me on to really give some thought to Module 2 - just been toying with it up until now. In a way it may be more difficult working within the confines of set parameters rather than having a free rein - I don't know - but it should really help the learning process. Don't get me wrong - I really enjoyed doing module 1 & it was good that it made you think about the photos you were taking - but as I have said before I found the self-assessment difficult - being the first module it wasn't easy knowing how much or how little to write (given the max 100 words)- & also to be objective about your pics is not easy. Guess what it's raining today - but this is the norm for Greater Manchester! There's a really good bird of prey sanctuary fairly near & I have already spoken to them & they have suggested quiet times when I can go & also an idea of when they fly the birds etc - I was hoping to go today but the weather has put the mockers on this. Think I will look round the house & see if I can get inspiration for things I can use for the aperture priority excercise mod 2.
You sound as tho' you're having fun with doing your house up - my fella (otherwise known as tripod wallah!) & me are starting on his kitchen - this is a major project - we have been planning it all since before Xmas - just putting the final specs together now so hopefully we can then tweak the final estimate & work might just start a bit later in the year. Plan is I move in with Amadeus (my mad Bengal cat!) when it's finished & once I get my house sale sorted out. I really messed up Feb 29th - jokingly warned him I might propose & then got cold feet. Asked him the next day what his reaction would have been & he said he would probably have accepted - but as I didn't ask him I would never know! Oh well - that's life - perhaps I'll stick to the photography instead!!!
What are the 5 topics that you have eventually decided on for mod 1?
