The word “photography” comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek φώς (phos) “light” + γραφίς (graphis) “stylus”, “paintbrush” or γραφή (graphê) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”, together meaning “drawing with light”.

Although the art of photography has been around for centuries, it is still something new to me. Personally, I do not have the opportunity to learn the various aspects of photography. Through this module, I have the chance to learn the different techniques to view photography in a more professional perspective.

In this blog, I would review some of the great photographs taken by professional photographers around the world and discuss the techniques, including the rule of thirds, colour composition, elements positioning and many more, in taking photos. Besides that, I would upload the photographs taken by me and the experience involved in taking them. I would also include the critics that I have received from friends and classmates during tutorial lessons and conversations. Feel free to comment on any of my photographs. Thanks in advance for your valuable feedback and have a great day ahead. . .
