Was my nickname at Elphinestone for Pre-IB camp.
That sure brings back unwanted memories. :/
Today really was a fine day for shadows. The sun was out, and there were no clouds to trample on our shots. Though this makes me wonder what happens when the block switch comes in and we become the last, or second to last blocks. I just pray that when that time comes, we don't get weather oriented assignments.... :/
Shadows are fun to play around with, though there isn't anyone I know in the class that is a 'friend'. Everything becomes better with more people. The more they merrier, they say. Unless you're out on a date, then the less, the merrier.
I should really bring my adapter to class... then I wouldn't have to upload them at home. Albeit I doubt the school's Internet's ability to upload...

T1B7 - Macro.
I love macro.
But 40 is a bit too much (I think). I don't find everything that can be taken in macro, appealing. The appealing shots are quite few, thus having one take multiple shots of boring, bland things. Like the usual flowers, trees and plants.
Having a dSLR for macro is kinda harsh if one doesn't have a macro lens... Especially if your aperture only goes to 5.0 with room light, and 5.5 with dimmer light. Only outside do I get 3.5 (max), but when I do get 3.5, it's quite literally facing the sun and the light kills it.
I dislike having a bigger depth of field, having a smaller one, in my opinion, is much prettier, and gives a bigger sense of mystery. Especially when you can only barely make out a shape, and then start to guess what that shape was, giving the picture a store for itself.

T1B6 - Action.
I hated the time this assignment was given.
On a collab day = less time
When it's raining = can't go outside.
And the task is to take pictures of action.
Action usually happens outdoors.
Damn it.
Richmond is also quite an inactive city, I spent 2-3 hours at Minoru park looking for people who were running, jumping, whatnot. :/
Never again.

T1B5 - Self Timer
It's difficult to do this assignment, just because I dislike taking pictures of myself.
For me, it feels awkward.
Even more in a public area, and if people can see me. That's why most of my pictures are taken in places where barely anyone would walk by when class is in session, excluding photography students.
I'm glad it's done now, time to move on.
Move on to the park. I think I'll do it tomorrow or on Monday, since I'm quite busy on Saturday and Sunday.

T1B4 - Flash.
Generally I have an inhumane hate for flash, mainly because it ruins more shots then it makes them better.
The sharp lighting that only hits the places closest to the camera, and forgets the rest is blinding. The ruins the beauty of a shot through it's sudden unbalanced exposure.
Though for indoors, flash is usually a necessity for me because my camera doesn't have high ISO settings to be able to detect light in dim places. Thus, flash becomes useful.
Though 9/10 times there's a person in the shot, he/she will have red eyes. Very annoying.

T1B3 -POV
The change from medium to high is barely noticeable. The only difference is that it seems tilted down (if the object is below).
Sometimes I didn't shoot one object, but a wall with lots of objects at the different levels so each picture may not seem to be linked, but they are.
I think I may have a bit too many for each. But overkill is always better than underkill.

T1B2 - lolvideo.
Seen it before. You have already showed it to me back in grade 9 in MY/SY (whatever it was officially called in gr9). It's a well thought ou film that's basic message is "Your body is amazing" and then provides multiple examples.
But there's not much learning, or new knowledge. The only facts that they give to you are the cones that detect green, red and blue. Theres no talk about the neurons that fire, or the system and howt h neurons work. The only thing that I heard was "your body is amazing because it can do _____". That's great and all, but it's not really informative.
The CGI body with the muscles and stuff was really distracting, I understand they couldn't film the firefighter scene because of darkness and smoke, so the body was acceptable, but the other scenes were just unessecary and horrible.
