Photography(People)





I took this photo under an incandescent light bulb in my bedroom. If I were to follow the Golden Rule, my face will be at the center; my eyes and one of my ears will be at the intersection of lines.






This is the tranquil surrounding of the SST. The plants seem to make visitors feel calm or perhaps even warm and welcomed into the school. The school is portrayed as a clean one in this picture.

This picture can be split into three by an imaginary line without the towering trees. This picture is something like a panoramic photography. Excluding the school building and the trees, about 1/3 of the photo is filled by bushes, grass, pathway, etc.; in other words, the piece of land we are walking on every single day. The other 2/3 of the picture will be occupied by the building and the azure blue sky.



This is a notice board that can be found on the first floor. I chose to capture this picture as it has reflections and outlines of my classmates and I. This photograph has make use of the Golden Rule.

This creative idea is the brainchild of Shawn, a fellow classmate.





MISCELLANEOUS


The most important element to many great photographs is the lighting. Warmth, depth, texture, form, contrast, and color are all dramatically affected by the angle of the sunlight, and thus the time of day. Shooting at the optimum time is often the biggest difference between an 'amateur' and a 'professional' shot.

In the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is low, the light is gold and orange, giving your shot the warmth of a log fire. Professional photographers call these the 'magic hours' and most movies and magazine shots are made during this brief time. It takes extra planning, but saving your photography for one hour after sunrise, or one to two hours before sunset, will add stunning warmth to your shots.

  4. The photos are nice as the main objects are always focused on and you really made good use of the rule of thirds and the golden section rule.
