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!=)

D&D

VIP seats, great food, awesome music, a table filled with the board of directors, and an entire ballroom of unknown Year 3s.

Yes. I went for the school's Dinner & Dance. Paid ten bucks for VIP seats. Sat closest to the stage. Ate with the Directors of the different schools/faculty. Cool?
Yea, totally.

You must be wondering why a Year 1 like myself would be attending a D&D for Year 3s and get to sit at the VIP table. Well, I was shooting for the Year Book Club. The lecturer-in-charged said that those seats are the closest to the stage, thus it is more convenient to shoot (and eat).

Compared to the rest of the world, a grey top, black pants and black pumps seriously look shabby. Only one word could explain how I felt inside. WEIRD.

The entire ballroom was filled with colourful dresses and neatly ironed suits. I really don't know if I'm considered 'Outstanding' or 'Out of place'.

Regardless of what I'm wearing, the event was successful. I think that it is quite fun.


Like any other D&D/prom, there will always be the Prom King and Queen. They made the candidates catwalk on the dance floor. I decided to try out something new. Shot it with a fisheye. I had to lean in quite close to shot. Hopefully, I did not ruin the other photographers' shots by being in their frame.=P


My favourite part of all D&Ds would be the dance at the end. Everyone will come down to the dance floor and get all hyped up. (which indirectly make me high too!)


There will also be some people who will start to freestyle on the dance floor.


And of course, at every event, I try to shoot some arty shots. (Not sure if you consider this arty, but oh well who cares. I like it!)

Great event. Mainly because of the good food they have there (from my point of view). Such a waste that I didn't get to eat all the courses!={

A little turn?

Sometimes, you just need to flash and make a little turn to make things more interesting.

Sea of Ice

Happy CNY folks!
Went to shoot another sunset today!Great sunset(compared to the sunset at Westcoast in the recent post)
This time, I decided to slow down the waves a little. An interesting effect. It turns the sea into ICE. wow.hahaha.lol.
Been wanting to shoot something like that for a long time.=)

Someone once told me that if you are shooting at a coastal area, and your feet don't get wet, something is wrong.

Wise words. Sometimes you just need to get a little dirty to shoot something unique.
It's good to keep that in mind. Thanks, friend!=)
