bk - I like that idea.I was kinda thinking the same thing, there is alot of good info that is going to get lost or overlooked in long threads.
Jay- I really like the idea of "reflections" :) I found a long time ago, that I learn more from making mistakes, & how to fix them...Doesn't mean I'm happy about it :) I've had people ask me how I learned to do so many things with photoshop, I grit my teeth- because I have spent so many hours in Photoshop...DUE TO BAD PICTURES!! (mainly mine I might add). I never intended to Learn PhotoShop, I wanted to learn Photography!
Before I moved I had a small group - we would share and compare photos...I found great value in that. Many times I knew something was wrong, but couldn't put my finger on it. From a distracting piece of trash, to a pole coming out of a head...sometimes I don't see those, but even bigger - was 'learning'-so thats what foreshortning is, or wow, the head is bigger than the Body!
Now I'm at... You made her round face bigger with broad lighting- or you added 30lbs by shooting straight on with 24mm! The value in those who have been there and done that, that can spot the posing - lighting- camera angles is worth so much !
Ed- Love your idea with the worksheets. I have several "Pages" documents(I'm on apple)... that I have started taking the main points, taking a screenshot-so that I have a jpg, then transfer to a folder on my phone called "Cheetsheat". Some are just to review when I go "brain dead". Some are for quick reference-settings.
I'll throw a couple up as examples....
And I'm looking for a good pic to review for improvement :)

Looks like you all had a great weekend of sharing ... (show quote)
I would like to see an exchange of ideas related to wedding images however we can make it work. I belong to a couple of Facebook pages where mutual support and learning works very well. Maybe if we can't get it done on the forum we can just meet at the lake once a month and review in person

Done........with the "creative title" of "put your photos here ...." Sorry, while at my day job, all creativity is squashed.
