Introduction to Photography
Exercise 5: Editing
Lecture: Today's class started with Mr Vinod asking us if we have any question based on the limited feedback he gave us. After he answered all of our questions he showed us the use of the next door studio. Somebody else had use the studio the day before but left it in a mess. So Mr Vinod asked us to clean the place up then told us that that is what the studio should look like after we use it, if we happen too. After cleaning up the studio, Mr Vinod gave us 1 hour to go out and walk around campus and take amazing pictures for the 3rd week in a row. Then he gave 30 mins for us to edit the picture that we took and then reviewed our photos.
Pictures that I took:
1 |
| "Lovers" |
ISO: 3200, f/3.5, 1/50
2 |
| "Stalker" |
ISO:320, f/4.5, 1/4000
3 |
| "Lone" |
ISO: 400, f/4, 1/2000
Mr Vinod asked us to change our facebook profile picture to one of the picture that we took today and see how many likes we could get in 1 week.
Results:-
I only manage to get 20 likes.
P/S: I did not force anyone to like the picture.
Theme-Based Final Project (Sports- Futsal)
- In last week's feedback Mr Vinod said that my choice of sports as my Final Project theme was okay but my pictures did not work out in a series. That I should stick to one (1) sport. So i choose Futsal/Football as my chosen sport. I choose Futsal/Football because to me it would be easier because i know the game. So i can tell what is going to happen next most of the next. For me when it comes to shooting sports its all about the moment. My challenge is to put an artistic angle to a good moment to produce a good shot for my final 5 photos. As Mr Vinod said, doing research about photographers that takes pictures of the field of your topic will help yr mind to come up with creative ideas. I studied the photos of Marc Taylor who has plenty series of futsal shots that helped me compose a few good shots for my final pictures.

Feedback:
Limited feedback, week 11.
Amer, the project work showed some promise, I liked the pictures no1 & 2, it has good impact and feeds of each other in the series. The rest need more work, they lack impact and energy or rather it the kind of involvement the earlier two has. Meaning, I feel part of the picture with the other two like I'm there, whereas the latter pictures there seems to be a disconnect. Anyways, just keep shooting and researching. - Mr Vinod

Reflections:
Experience:
From today, I experience that i got while walking around campus and shooting was to just shoot and try shooting at angles you never think it would work but you'll be surprise. The experience i got while doing my theme-based final project (Sports- Futsal) was how to get a natural movement from the players. I called up a few of my friend and said to them that i wanted to just play a game of futsal. I didnt mention that i will be taking shots of them while playing for my Final Project. Without them realising i took pictures while they were playing so they acted more naturally when dribbling and controlling the ball.
Observe:
Today I observe that even though theres clearly nothing amazing in the campus to take pictures of BUT its just all in the way you see things. We must work on our imagination and try to compose a picture in our head once we see an interesting angle. While i was doing my Final Project pictures, i realise that people look better when they dont know that their picture is taken. It makes the picture look so natural. Another thing thing that i observe that my pictures could had been better with my models were all dressed the same way but then again, they didnt know that it was suppose to be part of my assignments.

Findings:
I found out that there are many interesting angle that we could taking in campus. It just depends on how you look at things. While doing the final project, i find that everyone is a good sports model is they dont know that their photos are going to be taken. We have to sometimes make up stories to make yr model to show up. We must give them a good reason why they should stay. Especially if your models are teenagers that has trouble waking up early in the morning.
