hard yakka

at the end of a shift cutting leaf to feed the koalas in care from my plantation. this is part of my AYWMC2 homework that I didn't expect to enjoy!

[Desi]

What an awesome portrait!

[Christina]

Fabulous portrait. I have just had a quick look at AYWMC - have you learnt a lot on this? And would you recommend it?

[Shutterbug]

I think these are terrific portraits…man and koala.

[Mags]

How wonderful!

[Suzanne]

Great portrait.

I am interested in answers to Christina's comments as well, please

@christinav @ankers70 I did AYWMC with my sister and we both loved it so much, we did it all over again the next year! We learned heaps the second time around I must say too.
We are not enjoying the new course as much which is her AYWMC2 course. It has a very different structure and has a fairly big emphasis on printing images. But having said that, it has been good to stretch me at times.

A wonderful portrait - fav

[Suzanne]

Thankyou. That's useful. I shall check it out.@koalagardens

[Islandgirl]

Wonderful portrait!
It’s always good to get out of our comfort zone once and awhile.
I have to work on that!

[Christina]

@koalagardens thanks I'm on holiday next week so will look at it in depth and decide if it's something I want to do- did you buy any of the optional workbooks and if so were they useful?

[jackie edwards]

excellent portrait!

[Joanne Diochon]

Great image.

[Lou Ann]

This is such a wonderful portrait. I Googled “hard yakka”, learned something new today. 😊

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@christinav I did the first course totally as the free 'email' version and found that was all I needed. It is really good if you do it with someone, so you and @ankers70 could even consider doing together. We made a little facebook private group, but you can do it by email or whatever. Then we upload our homework and talk about our different images, ask questions if we aren't sure of anything etc.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Awesome portrait.

[Granagringa]

This is inspiring...I've started AYWMC but never gotten entirely through...maybe I'll give it another go!

[Rick]

Cool capture and work on this one.

[Diana]

What a stunning image you created here!

[Diana]

@christinav @ankers70 I did AYWMC in 2015 before I started on 365. I never knew anything about photography before and learned everything I know now. I can definitely recommend it.

[Wylie]

Hi Grunge, and great portrait. Now I have to google AYWMC.

[Valerie Chesney]

Totally "hard yakka" & a wonderful portrait..

[Carole Sandford]

Fabulous portrait! Both Phil & did AYWMC, learnt quite a lot, but the IT was a bit of a nightmare & I felt that I was a very small & very insignificant part of a very big machine. Maybe I expected too much from a free course.

[Steve Chappell]

Great portrait

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful shot.

[wendy frost]

Great capture and Hard Yakka seems to be what he has been doing.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@ludwigsdiana yeah we loved AYWMC and learned so much

[KoalaGardens🐨]

@carole_sandford we loved AYWMC and did it 2 years running. I'm not what IT nightmare you had. We just did the course together and kind of 'did it our way' and enjoyed it thoroughly. AYWMC2 is structured quite differently and we are not enjoying it as much, though it is a good course.

[Suzanne]

Thankyou that is very helpful. @ludwigsdiana

[Suzanne]

Thanks for all the information. Your ideas about doing it with others worth considering.
