Hi Ram
Yup you really do have a good grasp of the basics. In your sideshow there was a bit of everything - macro, telephoto, angle shift, night photography and portrait. I was very impressed at your diverse thinking. You have looked for the not so obvious shot, and that is a quality that differentiates a photographer from someone who owns a camera.

Composition is a subject all on it's own, and requires the teaching of the rule of thirds. A rule that you must learn, but know when to break. I will try and hit on it momentarily on the 19th, but we will not have enough time to go into it in any depth.

Once someone has been shown the basics of photography, they must get their feet wet and make an effort to get out there with their camera. Just like you do not truly learn how to drive, until after you have passed your driving test, the more you use your camera the better you will become.

You should be very pleased with your shots Ram, I would be. And they are a good example of use of imagination. I love looking at photographs taken by others, and hopefully the course will create a lot more interest and give me many more images to scan through.

Happy clicking ya all
