Linda, would you consider taking me on...I'm thinking we could learn alot from each other...even though you have a (cough...cough) Canon. I think we like alot of the same format in pictures...what do you think |

We did something similar last year and I think it was very productive. I think I can qualify for the teachers group in some areas.
I guess my strong areas and/or interests are street portraiture, cars, aviation, old dilapidated stuff, and I also like abstract photography. I gravitate toward quirky stuff and I totally LOVE goofy faces. (Should I say something about enjoying long walks on the beaches and long insightful talks?)
PaintShop Pro is my weapon of choice, so I won't be able to offer software-specific tips to photoshop users. I do use several Topaz plugins and Nik Silver Efex. |
great your signed up :D |

Would be okay with me to try this again. I'll mentor one person who is interested in landscape and wildlife. Must be a DPC member. |
Yah, and *I* claim the credit for starting her out, then hooking her up with Richard for a course of study more specific to her physical location. She's a great success story... And she's hooked up with ANOTHER success story and the two of them hang out virtually and make mockeries of our puny efforts, dang them both :-)

LOL!!!! Old mentors never die, they just fade away. |
I feel like reversing Leonardo's saying:
Poor is the teacher who is not surpassed by his pupil. (PS. Let's hope that the pupil does not turn into a total jerk)
Robert, have a great vacation. Waiting for you to get back at the master's desk!

I would love to be involved in anything portraits as a student OBVIOUSLY (would have to up my membership again to post pictures :-) )..... Mostly kids right now with the family but get the odd go at real people now and then but I just love people pictures. Would like to get into more "moody"/darker type images and that's where I see my images falling down.
On the offer side.... With an IT background the mechanical bits of camera & lightroom & lights and stuff I have.... I just take crap pictures :-/ Um... Can work a film camera and spell film :-) and that's pretty much all she wrote :-)
Been stuffing around but need something like this as a kick in the pants to get in and take pics instead of reading and what not so would love to get involved.... |

I can probably help out with closeup photography, nature and otherwise, natural light, photo-impressionism, stuff like that. |
Ursula
I remember helping you before...I would willing to take you on again if you want. And in return you could teach me a trick or two...deal?

I was just kidding about the "long walks on beaches" thing. It was starting to sound like a personal ad.

Let me throw this out for an idea:
I think the most helpful thing I've seen so far was DPL. Simply because there was a private thread, and not only was I able to get feedback on my own entries, but I was also learned from seeing the feedback on other people's entries.
What about creating mentor groups? For instance, I would absolutely love to be a bug on the wall of Ursula's group. That would be a dream come true. I received such helpful chunks of info from her during DPL. Instead of Ursula helping Judi and MargaretN individually, she can just create a group PM including MargaretN, Judi (and hopefully me!!). Not only would we learn individually, but we'd learn from other people's questions, as well.
I'd also like to be a part of Heida's group. :D
(btw, still looking for a student, it anyone wants to put up with me as a teacher... :) |

Is  Lvicari really on the list as a teacher? I desperately need help with lighting -- and I'd love to be his student! |

I definitely have benefitted from this in the past. Not enough to become a teacher though :)
I don't know that I have a particular thing I want to work on over everything that needs to be worked on...
How does this work? Do we choose the student or vice versa or get assigned?

Sure! I could be your teacher! I have no idea what I could teach you, but I'll give it a shot! :)
Yay!! I won't be the last one in line waiting to be picked. I was starting to have flashbacks to elementary school gym class. :D |

I would probably leave it up to the mentor -- whatever they're comfortable with. But I would think 4 or 5 would be a good number. |

I didn't pick anyone from the list, because their needs/wants were in my weak areas. Some of your teachers might be in the same position, yet some of the students might be happy with them anyway. :) |

Yes I am on the list. I have not replied as I didn't know what area I could help. I have a hard time myself with all areas so I found it odd that one might look to me for help in a specific area. I am willing to share whatever I know and have experience with. So if people want to join me in learning together, I'm cool with that. I have a lot to learn.
Heida you can hook me up with whoever wants to join me.:)
