Feedback :
Specific feedback :Mr.Vinod said : your exercise 2a seemed accurate in that you were able to prove that aperture controlled and effected exposure and DOF. You also did extra work with regards to the DOF exercise — good for you!!! I would however like to remind you that the work must be in black and white and not in colour, as I explained in the previous class, so please correct the mistake. The work in the screen shots should also be in black and white.
Reflection :
Experience - I am quite nervous before the quiz started as this is the first quiz in this subject . but after taking the test i felt released because i thought it was a formal and difficult quiz but it was not.It was so interesting as i was having this quiz by using the apps and sitting together with all my friends.Finally,I finished my quiz in such a relax condition.
Observations - I noticed that become a good photographer is not that easy as I thought , it's not easy to capture a nice photo.It needs professional skills and technique in order to capture the photo.
Findings - I found this was interesting because I can gain a lot of extra knowledge in the field of photography .
