Shootability

It has been a while since I posted here! doubt many of you will even see this post but I am considering making an online course option. It would be in the basics of exposure and composition and would be undertaken at your own pace online. Would this be of interest? Would you prefer reading material and pictures, videos, a mix of both? I would probably use a private facebook group to open up discussion and allow for critique and specific questions about any problems you're having. Let me know your thoughts!

First course is planned for the 25th-27th November 2013. We need 8 participants for the course to go ahead. Maximum of 10.

I'm currently working on setting up a forum over on the shootability website and moving the tutorials over. This will allow people to more easily ask questions, get answers and interact with like minded people. I'll have a section for tutorials but also forums for general discussion, sharing your work, asking questions and getting critiques of your images to help you learn and improve. Registration is free, please share it with your friends :) The direct link is http://shootability.com.au/phpbb/ there isn't much there yet but, with your help, there will be soon!

I decided to have a little fun with some landscape images from our recent trip to Tasmania

Quick tip! If you've been trying to edit that spot out for a while and it's just not shifting, check to don't have another area of the image selected and if not - clean your monitor! I may have done both of these things today :)

I'm definitely talking to myself over here, good old Facebook is preventing my posts from reaching most people which is very frustrating indeed! If you see this please, like, comment, anything to get this page moving and then I will be able to add more content. Maybe tell me something you'd like to learn about in the comments so I know what to talk about AND that I'm not talking entirely to myself!

Things have been BUSY! but finally a new blog post. This time it's a tutorial on how to make a watermark brush in Photoshop. http://www.shootability.com.au/?p=173

Make an easy to use watermark brush | shootability When you upload an image to the internet you really lose control over how and where it is used. Despite copyright laws and the obvious ethical issues, it is all to easy for someone to take your photo

would anyone around the Wollongong/Shellharbour/Sydney areas be interested in a photography class at Jenolan Caves? 3 day trip, learn to use your camera to photograph the cave formations and surrounding areas, all meals and accommodation included.
