Improving your composition


"Learning to see creatively" by Peterson, Bryan F

Here is the flow of tomorrow's session at SADeaf:

1. Q&A
We will answer your queries about PhotograpHI program and also listen to your feedback because we really hope to improve and make this program a better one.

2. Sharing Session
Volunteers and participants will share some of the photos they have taken. Some things you can share with everyone are:
- Where and when were the photos taken?
- What do you like about the photos?
- Are there any messages you want to bring across through the photos?
- Or anything else that you want to share!
Our volunteers will also share on some techniques you can use to improve your photos.

*Please send 2-3 photos to photographi08@gmail.com as soon as possible if you haven't done so.

3. Introduction of Alternative Cameras
We'll be introducing a few Lomographic cameras. These are film cameras that encourages people to take photos in the most impossible situations and and from the most unusual positions. In other words, "Don't think. Just shoot."
You will also get to try out the cameras tomorrow.

The Lomographic cameras we are introducing are:

Please reach SADeaf at 3pm. The lesson will end at 530pm. See you tomorrow!

Here is one sample of photo taken from one of our volunteers, YewMeng.There is a title, caption and a brief description of it below.


Title: To the SKY

Caption: Don't you ever wonder how high into the sky you can see? Don't you ever get that feeling to look higher up? Do you feel the urge to see higher into the sky?

Why do i feel it's good: Photos don't always have to be bright and colourful. It just needs to acheive it's purpose. Whenever i look at the photo, my eyes uncontrollably look from the bottom to the top and wish it would go further =)

We hope everyone gained some new knowledge on photograpy from the first session of the PhotograpHI program. We hope you enjoyed listening to Joel Yuen from NTU ADM as he share about his works and photography knowledge. :)

Paying attention in class


Paying attention...to the camera! :p

A couple of weeks ago, Issac and some Farrago volunteers went on a Pre-PhotograpHI trip to Little India. The purpose of our visit there was simple - to have fun and just snap away!

Issac used a film disposable camera which I felt made the trip interesting because you won't know how the photos will turn out until you develop them.

Here are some of the photos taken by Issac!

I found the last photo particularly interesting. Anyone knows how Issac captured the reflection in that photo?

This Saturday will be our first outdoor shooting session at Southern Ridges. Have fun and capture the moment(s) because you never know what photos you can get to capture!

Hello to all photograhi08 participants !

Hope you all had enjoyed and learnt something new on our first lesson last saturday! :)
