This is starting to get a bit confusing. Do we pm the person or post a request here? Can we have more than one mentor or just one?
The idea of more than one may mean that we get more than one point of view on a shot. More info usually means more growth and therefore much better picts.
Since this is not my idea , I am requesting a clarification for the group since I can ask Steve directly. Well, not right now, He'll have to wake up first.
Till then I'll just have to wait and let you coaches tell me. If I can have more than one coach, that's great and I would like to add Cory to be another coach. He has a good eye and I really like what he does. Also hope to get to meet him in October.

It'll get busy soon enough. I don't think a lot of the "players" have checked in yet. |
I just had to tease people a little bit. There are many more worthwhile coaches on here, so they won't hurt my feelings picking someone else :D |
You would be an excellent coach and you came to mind first but I wanted to let anyone else who wanted help with bird and nature thoughts. Sorry :( You are def a great photog. |

Not much point in my working with you unless you're gonna commit to your CS3, 'cuz I know less than nothing about PSP...

Bear I wanted someone to work with me using photoshop and Steve to work with me using PSP. But I see you have several people asking for your assistance so I will let them have your attention.

I am hoping for  Bear_Music and  vawendy, the 2 of you should have some interesting subtle differences of opinion & perception, I should be able to pick up on any hints you can give me. I'd be very grateful. I have CS3, planning to get CS4 soon, & the full Topaz collection. [eta] It won't take much to get me to buy Silver Efex. Coryboehne has already offered me 2 comments, a criticism & a way to deal with it-- & if he has any more cool ideas, I'm ready to try them all out.

Thanks, Another Mac user might be helpful. That way we are talking about doing the same thing the same way. That doesn't happen alot here at home with Steve and I . We are absolutely a mixed marriage. He's Jewish, I'm Christian. He's PC and I"m Mac. Well maybe not that mixed. The cameras agree even if the software doesn't. He's PSP and I'm CS2. Again, we're all mixed up. But it all works out better in the end. Definitely keeps things interesting.

Putting you back on the list. If someone needs you, that's what matters. That makes for an even number of coaches and players. Nice. Ought to be good for a lot of 1 on 1.

Anyone else, especially you coaches, a Mac user too. It would make things easier although I have both systems here to use. I would rather learn more about how things work on my Mac then keep doing them on Steve's computer. |

Personally, I might (if ok), take advantage, and get some coaching myself from Bear and Spiff, then again,, I think I might need some of Jeb's advice too.. :)
There's such a huge pile of talent here (frankly several of the "students" are amazing photographers..).. I look forward to seeing what the project accomplishes in the next month..
Thanks Grog, great idea. |

My intention was to work on an image strictly for the side challenge. One that it is possible to recreate or reshoot so that we can also address the aspects of camera skills, composition and "seeing the light". By using a non-challenge photo, all can follow the progress of improving this shot over the month and gain something from it. No reason you cannot also help the same person with a challenge entry as well, though naturally, that would be kept private. |

I personally would like to help someone work on a photo for a challenge, this way we can start to get a feel on what is working and what is not. That is how I'd like to proceed but if that does not work with what you envisioned, please do let me know. |

Oh, yes...
Even though I'm photo-editing-progam challenged (using GIMP), I've recently gotten some suggestions from another DPC user on processing, and she just sent me general "what I did in Photoshop" suggestions.
I think I learned more in the process of converting between the two (finding the PS equivalent in GIMP) than I would have just getting settings to use, without having to think about it.
...so don't let that scare ya'.
