Introduction to Photography
Exercise 4(a): Composition
Lecture:
Today's class began with Mr Vinod checking each and everyone's hardcopy folder individually. While Mr Vinod was explaining to the other students me, Arieff and Yong were talking about each other about our pictures we took for the Zone System exercise the previous week. After he had check everyone's folder he continued with this week lecture which was about composition. He explain the importance of using the Rules of Third in photography because it will help to improve and produce to good photo. To make a good composition we had to frame and make our POI stand out. Mr Vinod had a every good point when he said that a picture should give an emotional feeling to the viewer. He would rather have someone hate is picture rather than not feeling anything when looking at his work. After all the lecture was told he gave us a 5 mins break to freshen up. After the break Mr Vinod started explaining the exercise that we were assign to do.

(Put to use what you have learned in the Zone system exercises here)
4a) Rule of Thirds (5%)
Marking Criteria: The student must show evidence of knowledge and ability to use the Rule of Thirds under the prescribed circumstances. Evidence of composition enhanced by cropping is acceptable in order to heighten the dynamism or intensity of the picture. Students must showcase their knowledge on exposure using the zone system.

Feedback;
About the Hardcopy Folder: For my Week 5 work about the Zone System. My middle grey ( Zone 5 ) subject was not suitable. Due to it had to shades and that the background didnt match with the object. The rest is fine according to Mr Vinod.

Reflection:
Experience:
From today's class, we started with Mr Vinod checking our folders. It got the chance for me to see my other classmates' pictures that they took and learn the way they see when taking their pictures. From the lecture today also ive learn how to explain to myself what makes a good composition with the technics Mr Vinod showed us. From my experience i've always been using the Rules Of Thirds (ROT) when im taking pictures to make my POI stand out but i never knew there were so many other theory based on ROT.
Observation:
From today's class, I've observe that producing a good picture have to consist of good exposure and good composition. While Mr Vinod was explaining about ROT, Conterpoint, Multipoint and Triangular Composition, a lot of pictures came to my head. I could had guess what exercise we were suppose to do next so basically while he was explaining about composition i was already planning how i wanted my shot to be while applying the ROT when doing our next exercise. I also observe that when i look at the examples Mr Vinod gave it reminded me of some pictures i saw online and it gave me more ideas when i wanna do the exercise later on. I could see that the final outcome of a picture looks really good when ROT is applied using the right exposure and settings. While doing the exercise, i saw that my biggest challenge was to find a good subject.
Findings:
From today's class, I find that its not gonna be easy to compose a shot while applying and obeying the ROT. I would need to know how to focus on my subject and place my counter point in my frame and not over powering my original POI. I would also need to know to place my subject(s) if i were to do the triangular composition which to me is the most interesting theory to ROT.
