Student Feedback
“Noella,
I would like to thank you in helping me open my eyes and my brain
for that matter. I haven’t had to think this hard for my images
before but I definitely see the benefits in doing so. I have seen
an improvement and now it is a matter of implementing these new
ideas continually in my future images.”
"..... I
would like to offer some of my
complaints to you and anyone else "listening": When I signed up for
this on-line class I didn't quite know what to expect, but I
expected something kind of "sterile" and "matter of fact". It has
been anything but those. The class has been very educational and
personal." "The bottom line complaint is that
you just don't leave me anything to complain about!
Thank you."
"I
have found that this class has given me more confidence to try new
things – there is no wrong answer – or photo (and no one has to see
every photo on the camera!). I have started to let go of needing to
capture the perfect photo the first time round. I have started to
forgive myself for photos that don’t work!"
"Technically speaking, I would work more with my
depth-of-field. Aperture priority was a huge help here. I tend to
use that setting more now than before I took this class. However, I
was more inclined to use it with my 35mm film camera than the
digital. Go figure."
"It’s also important to trust yourself, your own style and what you
like to visualize. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them."
"I have learned to be a bit more critical of my own work, as well as
learning to see with a more educated eye."
"A real value for the money..."
"I gained a lot of basic knowledge regarding taking photographs."
"I enjoyed the challenges that each class offered. I also found that
the comments about the photos were very helpful and instructive, not
just a rote comment that I have received in other classes."
"Thank you. It so edifying to see my images through your eyes. I can
see things that I would not have thought of. I have found that as
I've taken images lately I have been incorporating those thought
processes, so your teaching has been a success. I so appreciate your
taking this extra time with me, it has been priceless."
"This class has been very rewarding."
"I would like to say a BIG thank you
to Noella for arranging another great course....I've already joined
the next elements of design course. In fact, I would also like to
join the next one in order to follow the whole series."
"The class made me go out and take images that I
would not have considered taking otherwise."
"I learned or refreshed my memory on how to see
and compose a picture. I've felt stale and this class inspired me."
"I learned to really "see" what I'm photographing."
"The class has exposed me to different areas of
photography that I have not been involved with and it forced me to
get out of my comfort zone and explore new avenues of expertise."
"I
was able to see things in my subject matter that I didn't see
before. The assignments helped me to stretch myself as a
photographer and try some new things and to try new subject matter."
"Seeing others work and reading what Noella had to
say, showed me there are so many different "eyes" out there and no
one is wrong, we all express ourselves so differently and it is
wonderful. Therefore, it caused me to look at several things, to
branch out and to not just look at what I was comfortable, to view
my world from all angles."
