Please help... yourself.

Hopefully there will be some takers to this, I already post to my own PAD blog, I will try to get involved with this one too - especially now I have my new PL45

 

Hi Brian, does PAD mean I got to take a shot every day and post it?
Is it allowed to go for a shooting on a sunny day and post one picture each day.
I can shoot my hometown, it has a lot to offer.

Have a nice day.
Kind regards, Herman

 

I have been thinking about doing the PAD for a couple of weeks, been trying this on my own, most days are not a problem,
but I always miss a couple,
if I started I am sure I could accomplish the task.


The main problem is leaving constructive feedback, apart from being dyslectic; I have difficulty in putting my thoughts into text.

This is why I have mainly been a reader and not a writer on this forum.

When I do conjure up enough words, and put them into text, I can read through it several times, it all appears correct, and conveys what I have thought,
when I read it back later after sending, some words are missing, and it can have a different meaning, and might even cause offence.

If I do attempt this PAD or submit comments, if any if you do not understand it, just have a laugh on me

But please do not take any offence.

I hope this make sense, it does to me at this moment

:smile:

You make perfect sense Roger - please don't worry, we're a forgiving and motley crew over in the P.A.D. as well as in the weekly Image Quest group - I promise!

 

I'll be starting the PAD soon here. I just got my e-p2 in yesterday and I am going out of town next week and wont have internet access... Figure I'll use the time to get to know my new toy and start the PAD when I get back!

 

Hi Brian, I will announce a new project soon. I'm working on it.

Have a nice day.
Kind regards, Herman

 

BBW, Brian

Thanks for your encouraging replies, must apologise for the delay with commitments and other problems, I have not even touched my G1 for a few days,
I will forget how to use it, took a while to remember to push the button on top, often wondered while the SD card was blank.

How do I start, where do I upload?

If it’s strange what you do Brain, I can’t imagine what category I come under.

If this PAD becomes “a day too far” and I miss my homework will I get detention?

Ok, I'm with you guys starting today my PAD blog.

Here it is :

See you all...

 

Welcome mauve, great to have you onboard!

Along with a few others, I'm just over 25 days in and its been an extremely rewarding experience so far. Coupled with Streetshooters weekly image quests the 2 have dramatically improved the way I think about photography, composition, post processing, lighting, making best use of your equipment - everything! And thats after just over 3 weeks...

Its a big commitment but the rewards are obvious when you look through peoples blogs on the forum. It's a very creative community with constructive criticism for your images and you may find people posting new versions after taking onboard feedback. You can see improvements almost daily across the board.

I've found taking a 'safety' shot as early as possible helps take the pressure off as your day unfolds, especially if work or other commitments start to draw your focus away. The last thing this should become is a chore, and what I'm starting to realise is that you don't need to take a masterpiece everyday! The less pressure you put yourself under the easier it is to maintain the commitment.

Good luck!

 

Thank you Brian. Very moving. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Livingston

 

Great link Brian and very poignant. Looking through nearly 20 years in that detail was very moving.

 

Hi all! Thought I should formly say hello. I've already put 2 photo's up as most of you will have seen, but completely forgot to introduce myself!

I'm really looking forward to the challenge this puts in front of me. I've had my GF1 since Nov 09, and the last 2 days have been the most productive days I have had yet! Reading all of the previous blog comments has been tremendously helpfull, along with the fantastic weekly quest write ups. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain a decent presence in both the PaD and the Quest. Thanks again for all the great feed back thus far.

Chris

 

Thats great Chris! Glad you've got off to a good start. Good luck
