Holly, your work was interesting. The use of depth of field was good, the subjects were sharp and clearly defined. However, you The first two shots were ordinary in that it lacked a strong point of interest and the exposure for the point of interest was a little over exposed.
The 4th picture was very good, great contrast, use of space, sharpness and exposure.
Keep shooting more and study your subjects in-depth and make your selections of your subject carefully ... so that it turn out like no 4. ''
Reflection ( In class ) :
Experience - Today Mr.Vinod asked us to go out from class to take some 'waoooo' pictures by ourself and show him later on . It is individual work, we can't do it with classmate. I felt bored that taking pictures in the campus every time because I have no idea where should I capture at. I walked around the campus and looking for some interest things to let me shot .
observations - I realized that my lack of motivation of doing the exercise at the campus , because there have nothing special to let me capturing for .
Findings - I found out that if I want to capture a great photo I should go out from house or school . and go to some where else to capture . There have the motivation to let me to move on .
Reflection ( Exercise ) :
Experience - I took these pictures at my relative house . I went to the playground from the house and captured it . I do remember that time the weather is so hot and I was baking in the sun . When taking photos we should also take our time , analyse and be critical..
observations - In this exercise , I realised that taking a picture that can makes people 'waoo ' is not that easy . I have also realized that I am slowly learning more and more and I am actually applying these things that I have learnt in my everyday life too . When I was taking picture at the other where , I mean not in the class or campus . For example , I want to take some pictures when I hanging out with my friends and family members , before taking the pictures my mind will definitely thinking about the rule of thirds or the exposure that I have learnt in the class .
Findings - Actually I still do not know which or what topic should I choose for my final project . Maybe it would take me a lot of time or few weeks more then only I can decide that what theme that suitable me well . Also, I found out that I have to do more research on some themes and seek out that theme that suit with me . I also found out many knowledge about the photography
