Photography - Lesson Two

In our second photography lesson, we had a chance to go through the pictures that we took last time. We looked through pictures that our peers took and tried to describe why they took such pictures. We learnt that the meaning behind pictures is an important aspect and therefore, before you take any pictures you had to be sure about the reasons why your taking a picture and such. As we went through our groups pictures, we spotted many mistakes that our coordinator helped us spot. There were common mistakes such as the pictures were blurred most of the time, the camera angle and positioning was wrong, we didn't really understand why we took such pictures and clearly we should've took the professional photographers comments into consideration. He told us that the importance of taking pictures is that you spend time on visual aspects before taking a picture and to be sure that its meaningful - and that it's better to take fewer pictures that have meaning put into it than lots of unnecessary pictures which are meaningless.

However, we did come across lots of interesting pictures. In order to improve taking good pictures that will grab attention, appeal to everyone and allow people to think about it, we learnt new techniques on how to improve taking more quality pictures. We looked at the camera positioning and camera angles - all in which would contribute to taking a quality picture.
