Photography - Week 3

So we are now on week 3 of my photography course and you know what - I have really been enjoying it and more to the point as well as learning some technical tricks I now know a lot more about my camera just from playing about with it.

The notion of a course that I would have to go into university to study was somewhat daunting.  I left university in 1999 and even though I have completed some OU courses there is something a bit more real about having to go into class with other students. 

While I found I settled back in to having lectures fairly easily I will say that it is taking me a bit longer to get used to the notion that other people will get to look at and indeed critique my work.  While I use Flickr to store and display my photo's it is somewhat more impersonal when compared to having 15 other people  provide feedback on the images you put up.  It also does not help when one of them is a professional photographer.

In the long run though I am there to learn so hopefully I will become better at something that I already enjoy.  In a bit to become more comfortable with with others looking at my work I have signed up for a Blip photo account where with any luck I will pluck up the courage to post something soon.
