Presentation: Photo Editing and Consistency

Lecture:  

    In this week, we learnt something different then last few week, Consistency. Before the class, Mr Vinod gave us some link to refer it. During the lecture, Mr Vinod show us some pictures with different topics. It was amazed and beautiful. At the same time, we had a small discussion on consistency in the class. Mr Vinod said that we will learn more on edit photo on next week (week 9). At the end of class, Mr Vinod want us to take a selfie, before next class and without editing. For next week lesson, laptop is needed for the lesson.

Instructions:

1. Have our selfies done by Friday, by using two different devices (phone and DSLR)
2. Bring laptop on next lesson
3. Complete ePortfolio.

Reflection:
Experience- From the lecture, I did not understand well on this week topics. Because on that day only have lecture and no exercise given. I found that it was hard to understand the topic without exercise. From my opinion, learning process should be refer to exercise or practise. From what you can observe and experience you know more about it. 

Observation-From the pictures that Mr Vinod showed to us, I observe nice and well edited pictures. While during discussion, we search other topics that Mr Vinod did not show to us. Those pictures was amazed ! From all the topics, the one stuck on my mind was children portrait. As what Mr Vinod said that taking children portrait was hard because kids are hyper, they cannot stay their quietly for few minutes to let you set those manual setting. 

Findings- Based on reflection and observation, I cannot wait to attend the next class. Although mu skill on DSLR was still not so good, but I more interest on editing pictures then taking pictures. Moreover, I found out that be a photographers must be brave enough because while taking some pictures, the position of the photographer will slightly awkward in order to get a good angel for a good result.
