Introduction to Photography
Studio photography (Basic lighting exercise)
Lecture :
Since today Mr. Vinod was going to teach us about lighting in studio, we spent our time in the studio and used the studio's facilities for the very first time. Before this , he did asked us to do some research on studio works during the 1950's to the 1970's and find one photo that we are able to reenact. Then, based on the photo that we have chosen , we need to prepare materials that we need for this shot.

Instruction:
Exercise 6: Basic Lighting ( Ungraded )
The topic covers the fifferent type of lighting fixtures and the different types of lighting formulas. Students will learn how to use the studio to practise different approaches to lighting. Students will be give a task to choose period pictures between the years of 1940 - 1960 approximately and replicate the lighting conditions and the styling.
Lighting exercise ：

Reflection :
Experience
It's my first time taking portrait in a photography studio and I was pretty excited to see how will be the result. Imitate a picture of others is not easy. I sat there for almost half an hour to achieve that but it still doesn't look perfect or exactly the same as the imitating one. Mr. Vinod even climbed up and down to adjust the lighting. My classmate also did helped alot while adjusting the lighting. It's hard but I'm kind of satisfied with what I've taken.
Observation
I noticed that both of these pictures have different type of lighting. For the photo of me, it needs light from the back whereas for XueYi's photo , it needs light from the side. Both give different feeling.For XueYi's photo, we can see her face clearly and there's no obvious outline . For my photos, my face can't really be seen and we can see the very sharp outline. It's challenging tho.
Findings:
Anything that is new to you, it's challenging. Never try, never know. I realized that being a studio photographer is not easy even though the photo looks boring sometimes but now I know that it need lots of hard work behind.

Introduction To Photography
FID Excursion Exercise
Assignment description:
With the knowledge gained from the teaching and learning activities in exposure (and composition; Jan batch) thus far, capture images that are rich in tonality and composition ally strong. The images must be in black and white only.
(Note: if your camera has a black and white option please use the setting).
From all the images captured, select only one image, which in your estimation best represents or encapsulates your experience in Tioman (or a place of interest of your choosing).
Answer the following and try not to exceed more than 300 words (1 page inclusive of picture, see attached sample; Appendix 1):
1. Describe who you are and the circumstances of the trip.
2. Describe, analyse and evaluate the photograph:
2a). Why did you choose this photograph to represent the excursion?
2b). What was the aperture, shutter speed & ISO setting and why did you use it?
2c). Explain the situation that led to the moment the photograph was taken.
2d). Conclude by reflecting on the impact or reaction you feel when viewing the photograph.

Advise:
Decide your ISO first, then your aperture, keeping in mind your desired depth of field and then your shutter speed – bracket the exposure using your shutter speed to determine the best Objective:
To be technically capable of manipulating the camera and to be able to critically analyse and evaluate the output.

Smile , 24th April, 2015
F 1.8 , ISO 100 ,1/640 exposure time
I'm Felicia Chong who are currently taking Foundation in
Design course. On 23rd,April'15 , our Creative Thinking Skill （CTS)
lecturer, Mr.Charles, had organized a school trip for our batch, August batch
which is our senior and March batch which is our junior . Miss Teressa which is
our English lecturer too , were following us to the trip to Tioman Island.
I choose this photograph to represent the excursion because
the excursion brings us closer to each other. As stated in the caption of the
photograph, the excursion is such a happy and unforgettable memory which cannot
be describe with mere words and only a single true smile could express the
feeling of happiness we shared during the excursion.
The situation that led me to
the moment when the photo was taken is when we were having fun at the beach.
During that moment, I felt relaxed as if there was nothing which brought
problems and stress to my life. For a seconds, I even forgot that the main
purpose of having this excursion is because of assignments. When everyone was
having fun, there was one smile which caught my eyes. Something which was true
and immediately I took the smile with my camera.
As a conclusion, I would
like to reflect the impact or reaction I feel when viewing the photograph. Through
this photograph, I could also feel warmth in it. A smile which can melt
everything with stress and troubles were all distinguished. I realized nothing
worth more than happiness in this world. Smile and happiness is something that
money cannot afford with. A true smile cannot be faked and this is how precious
it is. I would like to share the feeling of happiness with everyone beside me
with this photograph, the smile.
