Quest for Immortality
I went to the National Museum again today. Last day of exhibit, WON'T miss it!
Learnt my lesson. NEVER EVER VISIT THE MUSEUM ON THE LAST DAY OF EXHIBIT. There will be a lot of people which make the shoot a difficult one.
There were mirrors everywhere, but I couldn't make use of them as there were TOO many people!argh! When I saw this sculpture, I kneel down to get the lights in, at the same time, to avoid seeing people in the shot. But still, there are people inside..
I'm also rather fascinated by the fact the photos can make things look really big. Take this photo for example. How big you thing it is?
It is actually only around 2cm big!
Exhibitions. I should go for more!=)

Portraits
Went to the National Museum today with the intention of shooting the "Quest for Immortality" exhibition. Due to the extra long queue, my friends and I decided to walk around the museum instead. I came home with a couple of portraits!
I'm an amateur when it comes to shooting portraits. Learning how to make full use of natural lights can be a difficult thing.
Personally, I feel that one should not smile in a portrait shot. But there are many ways to position the model (including the expression) to fit the theme. That would be the part where I must improve on.=p
Inspired by a friend's work, I always wanted to shoot a portrait of someone sitting on the steps where the lines make the entire photo go "WOW". This photo may not have the WOW factor, but I think that sometimes, its nice to have a simple shot.=)
When shooting, I always tell myself to take note of the surroundings. Make sure that you do not fall into a pond while shooting. Today, I noticed that there was an air vent causing big gush of wind every now and then. So I asked my friend to stand in front of it. And this was what I got.
I feel that when it comes to shooting portraits, the photographer must know what he/she wants. Communication is very important between the photographer and the model. The photographer must tell the model how to pose and what expression to hold. But it seems that you need a lot of experience to be able to do that well.
Oh well, at least this is a start!=)
