Well done (so far) Kiya

I also liked it when you first posted it because you had focussed on the dry dock and excluded any superfluous detail around it. It is a good record shot and Good Luck in the next round.

That's really great Kiya

you have come a long way since you first started asking photography questions

Keeping my fingers crossed for you in the next round of the competition

Way to GO GO GO KIYA!!!!!!!!! It IS a really super good photo too! Am keeping my fingers crossed as well and YOU WILL WIN!! Going to be super nice to see your photo on canvas too. That would be wonderful.

Thank you all for the nice comments & Good Lucks.

Thinking about it after I guess this dry dock pic fits the theme of "Buchan" (my area) perfectly, its situated in the heart of the harbour & more than likely older than all the population living in Peterhead now.
It could tell a few stories I bet of all the boats that have been in here.

Will you let you know of results when I have them.

Keep up posted! It is a great shot and total delight to have your photo recognized too. I like the idea of them being able to put it onto canvas. is that what is known as Glicee?

On another note, Grandad forwarded this Learnmyshot.com and it is a series of clips and reading on how to make a shot. This fellow is really good and/or he fits MY learning style to a T. Good series of 'lessons'.

Thank you to Grandad for finding this site! It's a good un.

WIN KIYA WIN, WIN KIYA WIN

LLL, no idea what Glicee is

Thanks

I captured this guy quite conveniently as he landed on my luggage once I got off the ferry. Never noticed 'til I cropped the photo but I think he was "pooping" on my luggage! Hadn't realized the downside to cropping a photo before. Now I can see what I never knew existed before!!

By the by I've just enrolled in a digital photography course at the local community college starting next week. A six week course that is once a week for 3 hours. Each student brings their own camera and instruction book and we go from there. This is the absolute basics and then there are 2 more levels. Am excited!

I don't think Mr wasp was pooping on your luggage LLL, more likely he was attracted by some dropplets of water or maybe a sugared drink that had splashed on your case, but then again ........................

Good luck with the camera course, I bet you will be like Kiya and bursting with new found abilities

Thanks Horus, its just so bad today again, so grey & bleak, its hard to see where the horizon is, grey skies, grey sea.....brrrrrrrrrrrr.

LLL wish you gave a warning about your wasp pic , them creepy crawlies always give me a shudder, great close up

And good luck on your course, I'm sure your going to enjoy it & with fellow students helping each other too.

It sounds very much like the course I've been on, I'm starting my 3rd level soon & will be working with Raw , I'm really looking forward to that.

It's weird I really can't imagine cold & grey, despite having been frozen in Norfolk in June

Good luck with the courses

I saw advertised tonight on telly a new program starting this coming Tuesday........I didn't catch what time so check your TV mags.

HOW TO MAKE STUNNING PICTURES on CH5

Post by **LovelyLadyLux** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 11:45 pm

I'll have to try and catch that program on telly. I'm excited about this course mostly cause I WAS actually able to get into the class and wasn't put onto a waitlist AND once I take the beginner course I can then move up to the other courses that build on this one. I think there is a series of 6 all together with a few of the 6 being Editing programs too.

I've found my learning to be random hit and miss. I read something or get an explanation on here and I understand but I have a feeling I'm missing the big overall picture so am hoping this course will nicely put it all together.

Post by **Grandad** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 7:09 pm

Kiya, thanks for the tip, this is the preamble to the programme on 5

How to Take Stunning Pictures (Special Interest)
Time - 19:30 - 20:00 (30 minutes long)
When - Tuesday 14th September on Five
Photography masterclass presented by Suzi Perry. Celebrity photographer Harry Borden instructs two budding snappers in how to turn simple snapshots of friends and family into stunning portraits. Harry's students are then put to the test with assignments that include producing a heroic portrait for the Help for Heroes charity.

Probably best to bring this to the top again on Monday evening.

Yes thanks again Kiya

I have put it into the TV reminder.

Post by **Kiya** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:10 pm

Thanks Grandad I was just about to post again after getting my Tv mag for next week.
Looking forward to this program, I hope it will be worth the wait

Post by **LovelyLadyLux** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 4:12 am

I'm hoping I get that program here. Sounds like a really good one. Will be super interested to see it. Thank you for letting us know about this program Kiya!

Had a day out to David Welch Winter Gardens in Aberdeen, cant believe I took nearly 300 photos, here are some that I like most, some have been scrapped

Plane descending towards Dyce airport

We stopped by Cruden Bay a quaint little village where Bram Stoker known for "Dracula" film once visited

Slains Castle in the distance & as you can see by photos a beautiful sunny day in Aberdeen, the closer we got to home the more colder grey & wet it was.....typical for my little neck of the woods

Post by **Kiya** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 4:49 pm
