We met last night for the last session of ‘school’ for the students on the Sport Photo Workshop. The evening was spent reviewing and critiquing student’s work from the Peanut Polo Cup that supported Canine Rescue.

Photo Review

One of the best things about a workshop is the ability to see how other photographers interpreted, shot, and edited the work. It always amazes me how a class of students presented with exactly the same material and opportunities will end up with such different work.

Differences

Different people are attracted to different subjects. They have different interests. Their styles and techniques produce different effects. This all produces a wildly interesting and diverse body of work presented to the group.

Something New for Everyone!

Years ago I had an intermediate student take Creative Fundamentals and he did well picking up the technical details. But at the critique session his jaw dropped. While his photos were good he couldn’t believe what his co students had produced. He had cruised the course a bit but woke abruptly when he realized the creative opportunities he had missed.

He left the workshop with a whole new look on photography. His fundamental photo skills were good and the course helped him soar creatively.

So, here are some photos from a few of the Peanut Polo Cup students:
