Projects/Ideas

[jchawkins]

Hi,

I'm just curious if this forum has any photography projects for us newbies? I know this is a forum and not a photography class but there is so much great information on here it would be cool if there were projects or assignments that could be helpful with learning different photography techniques...then of course it would be cool to post these projects for C&C.

This may already be available on this forum and I just haven't found it yet. Or if anyone knows of any sites that have project ideas please let me know

Thanks

I am not aware of this type of thread/forum. I do however think this is an excellent idea that would help a lot of newbies get some direction and then direct feedback on their work.

The closest thing is probably the competition thread, but a lot of those are not based around technique, but more on filling a subject matter.

Try the Competitions Forum (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=39), under "Sharing Pictures" - they have a lot of "Speed Challenges"

If those are too complex for a novice, perhaps you could post the idea of 12 beginner skills (Controlling DOF, Cotton Candy Water, etc) and suggest that they cycle through these during the course of the year.

Sounds like a worthy idea.

Yeah I checked out the competitions section and it wasn't exactly what I had in mind...but it would be cool to have like an assignments for beginners thread...maybe I will start a thread and see what happens
