ParticipantTrain wreck. I just got a new camera 2 weeks ago, so I definetly will research, read, and practice.
As far as my photo that I posted goes. I like it, but I do feel it could have been composed better. This shot was actually taken not to long after I got my first DSLR. I had no idea what I was doing. I just sat in front of that lion’s enclosure and took pictures. I played with the settings and hoped for the best. This was before any classes, any school, any workshops. I just had a new camera and I wanted to practice.
Next time which is next Sunday, I will pay more attention to the lighting and where my subject is at in the enclosure. It isn’t like I can tell him to move. Lol. I will try to get more in the actual shot, so I can have more opportunities to place with cropping.
Well thanks again for your input. 🙂
ParticipantCoastalTog,
Are you referring to me or the first person who posted on this thread?
I do have a Deviant Art account. I have that because I enjoy the ART that is posted there and for no other reason. I do have some of my pictures posted, however, I never claimed they are great, I just like them. Hell, half of them were taken with a point and shoot or my iPhone.
I DO NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER called myself a professional. I am a student of photography, not just with The Art Institute, but any other classes or workshops I can find. The money I spend on the education whether you like it or not is my business and my cross to bear.
BTW.. Thank you for your directness.
ParticipantThank you so much for the feedback. I will definetly take those suggestions and work on this photo some more.

a photo I submitted for a contest.
ParticipantIt’s not that I think you are being mean to be mean. I agree the pictures are horrible. I would never think to post the things I have seen on here. To be honest, maybe I am just too nice and wouldn’t know a good way to say that picture sucks! I certainly don’t want to hear that, I want to hear what to do to improve. I will look into photography clubs and I do plan on taking some of the Scott Kelby classes too. Learning is important to me. I have only entered 1 contest so far and I didn’t win. I wasn’t too disappointed, a lot of people entered and I am just a beginner. I am still learning, but I am proud of the photos I entered.
ParticipantThank you for your feed back. It’s the digital workflow certificate. I will stick with it and continue taking classes and workshops in my area. I can say that the only people I get glowing reviews from now are other students. I am truly afraid to post a photo here. I want feedback and critiques, but I have read some pretty mean things in here. But the people getting critiques called themselves photographers. I call myself a student. I don’t get paid to take pictures, nor do I plan on doing so anytime soon.
I worry more about my editing skills than the actual photos. I can see small changes when using Lightroom or Photoshop, but nothing drastic. I actually hate editing, I think it is an over used tool in a lot of photography. The color selection thing is atrocious to me.
Maybe I will post a photo later for review.
Thanks again for the feedback.
ParticipantThis whole thread is disappointing. I want to finish, I never expect a college to find me a job or transfer credits for that matter. A lesson I learned a long time ago with another college. I don’t want to be a quitter.
ParticipantThanks for the link to this thread. I am only participating in one of the certificate programs and I do participate in any photography classes that the local community college offers.  I have to say I am disappointed to see such negative things about the college, but it won’t stop me from finishing what I started.  I will also look into the Kelby training. After seeing the DKlemms posts I am concerned about the critiques I get, although right now the classes I have taken are more about adobe editing programs than it is about the actual photograph itself. I can say I feel I have learned more from these classes than I would have on my own. Like I said in the other thread I hope to find a local photographer that I can do an apprenticeship with.
ParticipantHello! I am new to the forums here, but not new to YANAP. I am currently enrolled at the Art Institute of Pittsburg for photography, because I do want to BE a professional photographer. I will not say I am one and I don’t have a FB page dedicated to my photos. I am also a member of Professional Photographers of NC, I became a member in hopes of finding a PROFESSIONAL in my area that I can do an apprenticeship with, as well as, have access to the schools and workshops they offer.
Now since this thread is dedicated to fauxtaugs who should end up on this page, I would like to share with you a photographer in my area.
https://www.facebook.com/jayneseyephotography, she may have made an appearance already, if not she needs too. Especially this one, imo -https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=464951460306312&set=pb.442005989267526.-2207520000.1404163812.&type=3&theater
Perhaps soon I will get the nerve to post one of my own photos for review.
