Assignment - questions

1. I believe that I'm good with capturing subjects from different angles, instead of simply pointing the camera straight ahead all the time. Sometimes I feel like I go as far as completely contradicting the Rule of Thirds or anything of the sort, but I just think that that is what makes the image more interesting.

2. Likewise with Anastasiya, I also need to work more on how to use my camera's controls and functions. In some cases, I'll have an idea of how to take a photo, but I'm not able to since I don't know how, all because of my lack of further knowledge in the controls.

3. I have A lunch every day, so that definitely puts me astray from everything that has been discussed in the B lunch meetings. If there were enough people with A lunch, I'd definitely like to attend meetings during that time.

Assignments (questions)

1. I believe that I am good at making use of lighting. I don't honestly know the specifics of camera settings and usually only shoot on the Priority setting but I use lighting to my advantage to achieve quality photos.

2. With that said, I need to learn the specifics of camera functions and settings. I think there is a lot of fine tuning that can be done to achieve a photograph that's of higher quality.

3. I think that photography club doesn't have enough outside activities that members can or would be willing to participate in. It makes it difficult however with busy schedules. Also, photography club should make its participants more vocal.

Important Update (sent in an email)

Hello members. 

Order of business number one is that the meeting is next Wednesday the 7th of March. Your assignment is to upload a statement onto the blog answering the following three questions. Keep is short and sweet:

1. In terms of photography, what are you most talented at?
2. What do you need to get better at?
3. What is one thing you wish the the Eastside photography club did that it doesn't do now?

Second order of business, we are now keeping track of attendance to meetings. If you are unable to attend and have B lunch you need to send me an email or let an officer know. Missing a meeting is not a big deal but having only officers and one member show up to a weekly meeting is. 

If you have A lunch and are unable to attend the meeting for obvious reasons then this is excused. Each meeting overview will now be consistently uploaded online to help those of you keep up. 

Assignments are for your own benefit. Benefit number one is that they force you to actively participate in photography in your daily lives at least twice a month since you have usually two assignments. The rationale with this is that the more you do an activity (hear being taking pictures and using a camera), the more exposure you have to it. Benefit number two, it opens you up to perspective. If everyone does an assignment there is obviously a very different take and interpretation of each topic. Seeing how others think exposes you to ideas you may have otherwise not thought of.

If you are not actively participating in the club because you are busy I understand, but continue to be vocal. If you are not participating because you think that photography club is not successful or doing a good job then you must be especially vocal about sharing your opinions. Otherwise we will continue being dysfunctional. 

For those who have read this far, congratulations, I honestly appreciate your attention. See you next meeting.

REBELUTION

Rebellion - Cameron

 

Watching TV shows on Netflix instead of doing stuff like homework and photography club assignments. How rebellious.

 This monkey's face just screams rebellion after he jumped onto the roof of our boat in the Panama Canal

This little girl was all sorts of rebellious !

Assignment: REBELLION

This is one of my latest taken pictures. I got to go over to my climbing coach's house for brunch. The sunday ended with a massive pillow fight between the kids, us, and friends. What better way to say rebellion than with skulls and cross bones!

Old

This is one of my older photos that shows how modern culture has mixed with old architecture in the more run-down areas of Barcelona.

 I will be putting up more "architecture" themed pictures ASAP, but I could not find the main folder on my computer and had to get this one out of my saved e-mails (hence the quality)
