Theme-based project: Presentation of a series of 5 images

Lecturer:
Last week, Mr. Vinod taught us Photoshop. He introduced us the basic tools such as dodge tool, burn tool, quick selection tool and so on. We also learn how to adjust our image clarity through adjusting the image color, brightness, and contrast. After that, Mr. Vinod checked our respective exercises and gave his remarks to us.

From the lecturer I understood that: Photoshop
1. Improve the quality of image
2. Clear up the imperfection of image

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 achievWith the above done and understood, it is now time to put your1)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.

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.

Reflection

Experience:
My first shot at Jalan Alor Street Food Night Market was during the dim evening. As I understand, insufficient of light will produce a poor quality of image. So, I decided to walk down the town at noon as early as 4pm!

Observation:
Well, there are always dozens of things happening at Jalan Alor. I observed people are selling “Cucuk”, cutting vegies, cooking and so on. Because of these small tiny actions that catch my attention a lot to depict my photography.

Findings:
Photography is always challenging and interesting! With the aid of Photoshop, I am able to overcome my imperfect images.
