.I like this idea very much. I've been anxious to see DPC get less competitive and more "cooperative". I've lobbied for "team threads" like the ones used in DPL for just this reason.

I'd be happy to teach, but I'm not sure what my specialty is anymore. I guess I'd say landscapes. :)

I'd love to get some mentoring on "in the style of" Heida.
and on nature/abstracts from Ursula.

Neil, I would love to learn to shoot and process landscapes from you!
I am really looking for a true mentor...not a 'team' as I think I need a lot of help. If you're interested in having one student verses several please consider me.

I've already started a PM thread with the two people I am working with. One of them is very new to DPC and I'm having to familiarize him with some DPC basics of how the site functions. Ought to be fun though, he is in the far east and travels a lot. He should have plenty of unique photo opportunities that don't include cowboy hats or squirrels.

First I've asked them both to post a selection of recent shots that I can offer them feedback on and possibly do some of my own edits with. Then I'll start with some basics of composition and PP essentials that will apply to anything.

damn, for some strange reason my browser doesn't let me send pm's anymore. i wanted to contact

Adz to let him know that I wanna get started on this thing but i can't.

heida, can you please send him a pm to let him know that the school starts at 7:30 tomorrow morning and that he should send me his email via pm so i can reply via email (yea, the school thing's a joke i guess). ;)

thanks!

Um... Er searching for the word here.... Ladies... :-) If you can put Leo down for a sec..... How you three guys want to get this going? Do we have more or is this it? Want to start a thread or PM or whatever... Want to get a plan together or maybe some pictures we can discuss or ???..... Like I said I am easy, so where you want to start??

Oops! I completely missed that you were trying to steal him too! :P

I started a PM to Leo and Sara already -- so that can be trashed now.

Starting with the basics is also an incredibly good idea. I've learned some things, but there are probably very basic things that I'm missing.

Well my edit on the prvious post didn't work.

Ladies no need to fight! I work best in groups :)

Whatever you guys think is the best way to do this, I am open to suggestions.

I think starting with the very basics is a good place to start.

I have family things to do right now, I will check back later.

Heida you can hook me up with whoever wants to join me.:)

Hey Heida, SaraR was going to steal away LVicari with me. :)

Comon girls, you can share him! :)

awww... :P

Fine...while you two are fighting over him I will sneak in and take him for myself..lol!

I could use some help in post processing. So I'd like to be a student for that, really like to learn more about HDR and tonemapping. I also really want to learn more about shooting portraits and posing.
