1 of 10,000th Photo Completed

DAY 2

I am glad I survived the 2nd day of my photography class. Well, somehow I can understand all the technical topics and terms my professor is teaching us. :)

Proper things to do when shooting with a camera:
(I never knew that there are rules like this)

• Always wear your camera strap (or wrap it around your arm) to ensure safety, free from falling.

• Instead of bending down to shoot at a right angle what you can do is to crouch, to prevent back pain after long period of time. 

• Do not stand straight. Always keep your legs and feet apart to maintain balance, and be free from stumbling on the ground.

•  Hold you breath when taking a shot, to keep the camera steady and refrain from having blurred photos. 

• Your camera doesn't do all the work. YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR CAMERA WHAT TO DO! 

      Sir Rey told us that great photographers are great not because of their high-end cameras, but because of their skills to use such complicated cameras. He told us not to believe people saying that, you have produced good photos because you have a good camera, NO! It is not true! Good photos always depend on the photographer himself, the camera is just the secondary. 

         For the first time, we applied what he thought us on Day 1, the exposure triangle. We roamed the campus to look of a great subject. And so I found mine, a very cute flower. Well yes, I had a hard time shooting it because most of the flowers beside it are already withered. So what I did, I tried to find a good angle of the shot, where I can cover all those unpleasant flowers beside it. And presto! I had my 1 of 10,000th Photo. (still based on Henri-Cartier Bresson) And say what?! It is on the rule-of-thirds. :D 

    

       Yes, this is my photo, I edited it at Photoshop. #NoFilters I did not edit the color or anything, I just added my name on it and the settings I used for the photo. 

So here it is,  1 of my 10,000th Photo
