GGGE2153 My week 9 (Reflection)

9th Reflection,
April, 29th/16

Asalamualaikum and hello everyone,
So today, we are learning about "PHOTOGRAPHYYY". Dr. Fariza shared so many information regarding this topic and she did shown us some of the pictures she took while travelling to different countries around the globe. She also shown us some pictures while she's doing an outdoor shooting with her previous students. You guys can check 'em out here --> Photography Outdoor Shooting Session.

Move on to what we have learned today, so basically we are exposed to some knowledge about photography. Honestly, i never know what was meant by aperture, light exposure and depth of field. But today, Dr.Fariza cut 'em to the chase. Finally i can fully understand those terms. Firstly the aperture,

The higher the number of the aperture, the smaller the size of the circle (referring to the picture above). Which means, it will allow less amount of light and this will affect the depth of field which will not help the camera to have a better focus on the main object.

Next, the depth of field (DOF). It is also called the focus range. It means the distance between the nearest and the farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

Using the same photo, we can see that the one with the aperture of f1.4 has the best photo which we can see that the object are really clear and the background are blurred. This shows that, the area of DOF appeared in higher intensity focuses on the object itself to make it outstanding.

Apart from this, we also asked to create an online photo sharing account whether with 'flickr' or 'Picasa'. I decided to create an account under flickr because i found it linked with my yahoo account. Thus, this will make things a lot more easier for me :D

So today, officially i'm using flickr account for the first time and i've been sharing few photos inside it. Check 'em out here guys --> My flickr account !
For me, flickr is very easy to use, it is user-friendly and yet minimalist in its own way. You can see lots of amazing photos captured by different people from around the globe. This really will help your skill in taking photo (perhaps) by looking out some amazing photos shared here.

So in conclusion, i've learned few things today:
1. I learn what is aperture, depth of field, and focused object.
2. I learn how to use flickr.
3. I learn that photography is not that easy..hahaha

Talking about photography, i can't wait for the outdoor photography fieldwork at Putrajaya this upcoming May 14th. See ya next time XOXO
