:: Digital Photography & Imaging

After going through this module, though it was quite tough at times with the tight project deadlines and presentation every week, I feel that I have learn a lot from this module and i am able to take better shots now with better composition, angles and especially exposure. Thinking back, it was really not easy initially when i started out. I still vividly remember the monotonous shots that I have taken.

Throughout the course of module, I have been always reviewing on my previous assignments and was hoping i can improve on them but didn’t have the time to upload to the blog. Sorry for that. =)

Here are some of the shots that I have improved. Feel free to comment on any of them.

Assignment 1

Subject Element: Colour (Title: The Bright Side of School)

Location: Walkpath from the central library to COM1 (near LT15)

For this shot, as the title suggestion, I wanted to portray the bright side of the school. Being a student, studying is our top priority. Most of the time, students are rushing from places to places to attend lesson and thus not noticing the bright side of our school. I also hope that this shot can help to bring the awareness to observe the surrounding and enjoy the process instead of just study, study and study.

Assignment 2

Subject Element: High Key (Title: Innocence)

For your information, the baby girl in the photo is my niece. For this shot, I wanted to use the low key effect to enhance the innocence of kids. My experience from this shot teach me that it is not an easy task to take a clear nice shot of small kids because they keep moving around! To achieve this, it took me multiple shots in order to get the angle and feeling i wanted to portray. Nonetheless, it is a nice experience taking photos for my niece. Isn’t she adorable? =)

Subject Element: Low Key (Title: The Fake)

For this shot, I wanted to enhance the mysterious effect of the mask. The low key is to portray the more evil side of human using a mask. I used a black cloth when taking this shot. It was taken in a well-litted room and was taken without a flashlight. Personally, this is one of my favourites as it brings out the eerie and mysterious feeling when I view this photo. Comments and feedbacks from my friends are positive too.

Subject Element: Perspective (Title: Taking Off) or Adjective for assignment 5 (Title: Progressive)

I slightly tilted my camera to take this shot. Perviously, it was taken at a less interesting angle. I went back to the same block of building to take this shot. By the way for those that can’t make out the place, it was taken at a newly erected 4o storey HDB flat next to commonwealth mrt and the view was marvellous. From this shot, I have learnt that sometimes breaking the rules and tilt the camera, the effect might be magnificient. Thanks Evan for your feedback. =)
