Anyone fancy having their photo taken? - I need a model. : Perhaps I can get a friend on Christmas Day when they've nodded off after dinner! Lisa.

No chance of that Carole, she can see the light at the end of the tunnel and is off running...!

The light in the tunnel is the postmans torch when he brings the next set of modules for the next course.

Yes - I was just looking at the requirements for mod 9 yesterday. They seem to want us to do quite a few photos. On holiday today, so just might see how to get to Heage Windmill on the way back to Staffs this pm. Lisa.

Well my brain's gone. Just been looking through the photos I've taken so far for mod 8 part A. 3 images, 5 shots of each at the different settings of in camera sharpening. Looking through each set and scratching my head I'm thinking 'they all look the same! I can't see any difference between the low setting or the high setting for sharpening' Scratching my head must of caused some static build up as a little light bulb goes off and I realise I'm looking at RAW files. Doh!! Lisa.

I have less work than you, Lisa, for part A. My camera has only 3 levels of sharpening so just 9 in total! 
For pat B we're asked to "re-shoot" images we took for mod 1. Do we have to re-shoot exactly the same scene as before or can we just shoot different scenes but stick to the same theme?

I took it to mean the same theme Chris. Otherwise I'm going to have to track down a chap in the Sealed Knot. Lisa.

I've just reread this (having been shocked that Les was on module 8 already!). That's quite a major task to go back to the pics for module 1 (I had read it as reshoot part A of mod 8 - so much for my speed reading!!). I'd have to go back to where we went on holiday at that time, mind you it was a great holiday, so I wouldn't complain too much Not sure Mr Carole would totally buy it though .
Ugh, just remembered that I was up at the crack of dawn (literally) for one of mine - I had to get up to get milk for the little one at that time, so forced myself to stay up and take the sunrise shots, (and I'm glad I did), but that's going to be really tough now 
Mind you, I'm some way off mod 8 at the moment - I haven't done anything for this course since early December ..... long (and boring!) story, but that's why I haven't been on the forum recently - been lurking, but nothing to contribute as mind has been elsewhere. Hoping to get restarted again this week (and sounds like I'd better get in training for getting up early in a few months' time for that recreation of my mod 1 pics!!!!). Despite it sounding like a tough assignment, it sounds like it will be really interesting - see how far we've come in that time (............ or not??!?!?!?!)

Hi Carole You frightened the life out of me, I thought I had been doing the modules in my sleep instead of just dreaming about them. No, I am nowhere near module 8. Working on mod 3, still not posted mod 2 as I want to redo it as next month as I am treating myself to a new DSLR and will need to do the grey card test over anyway. Just happens that my old SLR was in this weeks issue of AP. How spooky It shows that I dont follow the trends, its 30 years old this year. Wish I was

Don't worry Carol you're not the only one bringing up the rear I'm still working my way through module 6.
Looking forward to module 7 and 8 and have been tinkering with these as I work through Module 6!

Yipeeee!!! just finished mod 8, put it in the envelope and put Elliot's name on it. It can go in the post on Saturday. Phew that took a bit longer than I thought it would. Just in time though - I'm off to Northumberland for the last week in Feb, so if weather reasonable should get some shots for mod 9 b&w. Lisa.

Well done Lisa

That's good Chris. Hopefully you'll get mod 6 back soon, send 7 off straight away and 8 will be ready when 7 comes back! You could always have a burst of activity and send 7 and 8 off together - Angela wouldn't be expecting that! Lisa.

Ah yes but what if Angela gives you a really great bit of advice in her Module 7 report that you could use to up your marks in Module 8? Or what if you had a question on the report for Module 7 that you wanted to include with your Module 8 submission?
Someone actually sent all their modules in one submission once - bit of a shame as they never got the chance to develop over the course.
I'd go with one at a time.
