Feedback :

My picture was good but I have to manage about the background and object since the trees background quite disturbing. I should find an interest on something that I take not because it is the reason to get a great picture.

Reflection:
Experience : I realize that so hard to take animal picture especially bird because it will scare easily and fly away. Besides, I have to wait until I get the right pose of them and sometimes my exposure not correct then blur. Furthermore, should find a nice angle to make the picture seem interesting but this all taught me how to be more patience about something we can make perfection.

Observation : I observed that the more you take picture more improvement that you can gain to take a nice picture.

Findings : I found that almost of birds have a great colour on their wings. If I take picture in black and white mode. Particularly for those have red, black, white and yellow color it could give a strong contrast. Actually I'm not satisfied with my picture because some of it looks like normal picture.

Reflection :

The studio lighting exercise for this week is quite interesting, but none the less complicated. We got to try out the soft boxes for a different effects of lighting. I was mainly stationed at the power back to control the intensity of the light. Unfortunately, I had tried many times to act the same way with the sample model but I was like ... my face look like shock not smile :))

Feedback :
I need a consistency in my series picture because all picture that I took was not really consistent.

Reflection: 

Experience:

Actually I didn't understand what size that we need to apply for the picture we had taken. I asked Mr. Vinod help to set out the size and explain it again to me. After we had done cropped and resized, we went to the print room at block D level 7 to print it out. However, my photo didn't had a good contrast between the black and white. After that I tried to arrange it again untill got the better picture. Thus, my coursemate and I decided to print them out on next Friday when we got class. 

Observation:

I observed that the tone of my picture printed out by a nice quality printer. The printer is totally different from that kind of printer that we usually use to print for document, it's special for big size paper. The outcome of the photo is satisfied and very detailed.

Findings:

In order to print the photo in A1 size paper, we should convert the picture into PDF file.

            I'm Josephin a student from Foundation in Design January intake, I will share what I feel on this blog. We started our journey by bus to Mersing - Johor Bahru around 5 hours and took 2 hours by ferry to Tioman Island. Our trip group is based from August, January and March intake. After we reached there, I realize that Tioman Island so wonderful because I never expect it so beauty. Next, we chose our room key and took a rest till dinner. The next morning, we had breakfast together but honestly I couldn't ate the food since the taste was strange for me. The night was come, Mr. Charles explain to us about the mission we had to done there. Furthermore, we were done snorkeling together in the next day but some of us didn't go because they had their own reason. After dinner, I sat at the stairs near the beach and keep stared at the sky, I realized that nature was so beauty even in night. It remind me about my parents and home a lot. However, theres someone that could made my feeling better even only saw his face. *oops We chit chat and sharing a lot until midnight.

           On the last day, we were busy with our team to did the space dining area mission before sunset gone. After that we had a BBQ party and dinner together then we did born fire. We was wait for night by the reason of we want to end the last night with drink and happy together by dance and sung. I would not forget all memories that we mad in Tioman Island because its too lovely in my mind.
