True, Karmat, but in the "old" days, people wrote their settings in a log--little notebook in their pocket or camera bag. Also, there are small voice recorders, and some people have PDA's that have programs (some free) available for just such things.

Actually, I think (could be wrong) that Karmat is referring to the fact that some cameras never tell what they are shooting (speed, ISO, etc). I know with my old Sony Mavica I had no way of knowing what those settings were either when I snapped the shot or when I looked later. Good point Karmat.

Terry - HE's running it?! Just kidding - I LIKE Gordon's suggestion about details and our job being "look, you need to put in details as per "this post" if you want a critique from CC." That's the best idea I've heard in awhile.


Did I say 4? YOU have to do 40! :-P

-Terry, evil dictator. ;-)

I'll do my 40, don't worry, your evil-ness.

Welcome Paige, OneSweetSin, whitetiger, and boyte1 to the Critique Club!

Please refer to John's post in this thread for information on the Critique Club and what is expected! If you have any further questions, that's what I'm here for.

I also strongly recommend looking at the critique club critiques of other participants. Please note that while there is no explicitly required length or style of critique, you are expected to provide specific, detailed, and comprehensive feedback on the photographs you are assigned for review. Areas of comment might typically include composition, cropping, exposure/aperture decisions, as well as subjective elemtents. Feel free to ask for help if you're unsure, or to post links to critiques you've done for feedback from other club members. In my mind the most important function of the Critique Club is for its members to learn how to better critique a photograph, so we can better evaluate our own work as we create it.

To assign yourself a photograph to critique, select "Critique Club" from the "Community" menu above. Once you click the "Give me an image to critique" button on that page, you are obligated to critique it. Exceptions will be made only under extreme circumstances (for example, the photograph was taken by a family member). If you feel you need a photo unassigned, please contact me.

Enjoy!
-Terry

only 4?? I think that if people are participating in the challenges then they should at the very least critique as many photos as they are submitting. For members that would be 8. It's been a while since I did much math, but isn't that the only way to ensure that all the critiquers can get their own shots critiqued? Of course, if you are submitting and not asking for a critique then this doesn't apply.

Thanks for clarifying that myqyl. that's exactly what I meant. My students are using a little Olympus that takes fairly decent pictures, and it may record EXIF, but the software we use has no indication of how to extract it. Also, it is a true point and shoot, with no shutter/aperture control at all. Maybe someday when I am rich, or the school has all the money it needs, we can afford nice cameras. Until then, I am just instructing my students to type NA on the settings, and tell a little bit about the shot in the comment field.

karma, so you're the one "in the know"? I've been seeing shots every week that make me think the photographers must be stuck in a school with limited photo ops. The camera they're working with doesn't seem to be helping with the quality of the shots much. I hope they're enjoying it even if their scores aren't as high as they could otherwise be.

Karmat,

There are some program listed in the FAQ that allow extraction of EXIF data. Some of them are even free.

Indi, actually only one of my students has submitted thus far, adn his first was in the transportation challenge. There is apparently another class though.

Thanks, Club, I'll see what I can do.
