Week 10: Weekly Updates


Lecture:

I was not able to attend class this week due to unforeseen circumstances. However, Jean updated me that everyone continued to have their weekly updates reviewed by Mr Vinod.

ISO: 6400

Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec

ISO: 6400

Shutter Speed: 1/40 sec

ISO: 6400

Feedback:

There are no feedback yet for this week's exercise.

Reflection:

Experience:

It was difficult for me to come up with new ideas and angles for shots even though I had done research on this topic as every church has it's own differences and characters.

Observations:

While working on this Final Project, I noticed that I grew more and more fond and comfortable with this subject.  

Findings:

I found that the ISO I used for most of my work inside the church remained the same. I also found that constantly trying and practising taking photographs of my topic has helped me improve a little bit better.

Week 9: Weekly Updates

Lecture:

We did not have any lecture for this class today. Mr Vinod reviewed our follow up images for our Final Project and gave us all some personal feedback as he checked our work individually. He told me that I needed to get much more variety in my shots and that I have to act quick as there is not much time left before the final submission.

Here are this week's updates:

ISO: 400
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/160 sec

ISO: 3200

Feedback:

There are no feedback yet for this week's exercise.

Reflection:

Experience:

I felt like I was getting used to taking pictures of the church both inside and outside. I felt a little bit more comfortable as well.

Observations:

I had to learn how to take decent pictures under below satisfactory lighting in the church. It was not easy but I did what I could and tried my hardest.

Findings:

When I was taking pictures for my final project, I found that my interest in this topic has continued to grow each and every time I visited the church to take pictures. I enjoyed doing it.

Week 7: Weekly Updates on Final Project

Lecture:

There wasn't much lecture for this week's class. However, we went through our previous week's work. Mr Vinod guided us into selecting our final topic for the Final Project. Mr Vinod also went through the portfolio with us again to confirm the format involved.


I decided to add a new topic into my list of possible topics for the Final Project. I am also leaning more towards this new topic which is on the Church in Taiping, Perak. I found interest in this topic as it was the church which I spent 20 years of my life attending. Here are some of the shots I took:

ISO: 3200
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec

ISO: 3200
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/100 sec

ISO: 2500
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/125 sec

ISO: 400
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/200 sec

ISO: 6400
Aperture: 4
Shutter Speed: 1/50 sec

Feedback:

There are no feedback yet for this week's exercise.

Reflection:

Experience:

I found it a little difficult to take proper pictures as I was not too familiar on how to capture the Church as a whole.

Observations:

While working on this topic, I notice that I have some interest in this topic. Slightly more than the rest of the other topics. Even though it required me to travel a little bit to get to this church, I was fine with it because I was interested in this particular topic.

Findings:

I found that it was not easy to take pictures in this church due to the limitations on lighting. It was not every day that I got to go to this church to take pictures and had to carefully plan my journey as well as arrange with the Church officials.
