09.03.2017 (Week 6)

Digital Photography and Editing
Consistency Exercise

Lecturer:
The first thing Mr. Vinod emphasized was our eportfolio. He taught us how to arrange our eportfolio and strongly advised us to always up-to-date our exercises. Then, Mr. Vinod brief us the final project. He told us the final project is a theme based project, which means, we have to select a proper topic that we are interested and present it to Mr. Vinod. In class, Mr. Vinod shows us a lot of examples by providing us extensive information and guidelines. In one of the example, he mentioned a photographer took picture of skies with different background at night. At here, he enlightens us the core consistent subject is the sky even though the photographer took a different view of scenery.

From the lecturer advice I understood that:
1. Always update our exercises
2. Start selecting a theme for the next following theme based project

Instruction: Final Project
Theme-based project: Presentation of a series of 5 images.
Student, you have by now completed various exercises on Exposure and composition. This means that you are now able to:1) Control your exposures after pre determining the desired result ala The Zone System (To be able to anticipate the final result before making the exposure)2) Use The Rule of Thirds or principles underpinning composition to identify and compose potential points of interest within the frame.
3) Understand and achieve consistency
4) Edit at a basic level (next week)
With the above done and understood, it is now time to put your mettle to the test.

With the above done and understood, it is now time to put your mettle to the test.
 Your Task:
Choose a Subject of Interest, i.e.: Architecture, Landscape, Peoples, Person, Still Life, etc. and capture a series of 5 images. You will present the final result in your MS Doc. along with a rationale. You will also update your eportfolio with the said.
 To elaborate further:
If the subject is Architecture and the topic is KLCC, you will shoot a series of 5 pictures on that topic only. This work will then be edited in Adobe Photoshop and presented to the class. Of course to achieve a series of 5 pictures you will have to visit the topic several times before achieving pictures of good quality (Exposure, composition, consistency and editing). It is through this process that you will learn to plan your shots before actually photographing them. 
Below are my 3 topics:
Topic 1 Toys Car



Topic 2: Verities of Culture People




Topic 3: Food
Feedback
Mr. Vinod told me my first topic of toys car is too bored where he told me only isolation and dominance composition are applied in the pictures.

 Reflection
 Experience:
After hearing Mr. Vinod feedback, I feel I am absolutely not ready in doing this exercise because first, I do not make enough of research, second, I do not come out an appropriate topic, and third, due to time consuming, I am not up-to-date in Mr. Vinod exercise.

Observation:
Due to time consuming, I notice I have to push myself in doing this exercise since I have left a few of exercises. As I notice, a few of my classmates had able to come out a topic for the next following class, I guess is time for me to catch up.

Findings:
I learn that I need to come out an appropriate topic for the next class so that Mr. Vinod can see and understand am I doing the exercise in the right path.
