reflection.. it has been more than half a semester... what have i done? umm.. lets all ask ourselves.

Photography Tips

i got from Photomalaysia and i would like to share it out to you guys...

- Read fundamental topics on photography, focusing on topics such as shutter time (S on your camera), aperture (A on your camera), light (ISO) and composition (the imaginary world in your brain). Plenty of books available and the Internet is a giant resource if one cannot afford to buy them (although i think you can if you have the resources to slap a few thousands on the table for a camera).

- Without advertising for it, Digital Camera Magazine Malaysia edition only cost 9 RM and holds some good reading material.

- Focus on what you like most in photography, don't try to master every subject from the beginning. After a while you most likely stick with certain subjects only anyway, the ones you further specialize.

- Develop 'an eye' for frames, try to see the world through the viewfinder of a camera to look out for interesting shots. Use your hands to make virtual frames.

- Explore and understand the fundamentals for composition, such as mentioned above 'the rule of third' but also the way lines and objects appear in a photograph.

Our brain for instance tends to focus on images from left to right, which is most of the times the difference between a 'good photograph' and 'an average photograph'. Again DCM has some nice topics on this, showing you 'good' and 'bad'.

- Learn from others by listening and practising. Interact by showing them your results and be open for positive critisism.

- Learn and know your camera, it does not make any sense to buy the 'best of the best' (if there is such a thing) not being able to operate it.

- In modern days of digitial photography, spend some time in trying to learn and operate software that can assist in further optimizing your shots in the field. (I have invested in some books by Scott Kelby and they have ultimately lead me to a technique which i follow on 90% of the shots i take)

- Watch plenty of photographs from others and try to judge them on the basics, such as composure, light, color etc. and ask yourself if you would do the same or different. I.e. changing the angle, underexpose or anything to develop a certain technique which slowly becomes your own.

Song In My Heart

by Generation Unleashed

verse1:
There's a song in my heart
Of praise to my king
Who first loved me
You first loved me
In my darkness you came
With the love that could save
You light up my world
You're the light of the world

chorus:
Singing holy is the lord
Worthy of all praise
You are worthy
You are worthy

verse2:
With one voice we will sing

As we lift up our king
Bringing glory to you
We bring glory to you
We will stand and proclaim
How great is your name
You light up my world
You're the light of the world

bridge:
Join with the heavens
Sing with the angels
And all creation
We will praise you

fail fail fail
one by one
it just fall and to the ground

teach me LORD..
