Self assessment:

Re-evaluating myself, I would give myself a 85/100. 45 for effort and 40 for creativity. I think I made improvements from the previous photos I have taken for assignment 2. I'm more familiar with the camera. hehe..at least the shots are not blur. Pictures are more aesthetically pleasing compared to the previous pictures taken for assignment 2.

You may refer to previous post on assignment 2 for evaluation of classmate's works.

Some other photos taken...

I actually like this picture alot. Comments from Mr Reddy was that it is an interesting picture, but a pity that the top part of the red chair is being chopped off. (Sighz...)

Chopping problem again....Mr Reddy commented that the man at the bottom right hand picture had part of his body "chopped off". The man's arm on the left is also being chopped off. (Sighz...)

This shot compared to the "Queue up" chosen is not as interesting. It is quite predictable.



Another chopping problem.... Mr Reddy commented that the lady's head and her umbrella are being "chopped off". (Sighz...)

Mr Reddy commented that this picture has too many clutters in the backdrop.

What I have learnt:

Stop chopping off details! I think I'm always too excited when I see something interesting and I'll quickly snap the photos without framing it properly first. (Take the chairs and the few motorcycle shots for example.) Gotta be fast and skillful especially when taking fast moving objects.Not only must you capture that precious moment, you have to frame it properly first. Very small details must be taken care of. If you don't, they will be seen as obvious mistakes made by photographers. I think I'll need more practise on this.
