Objects as Subjects v1

The rationale of the first assignment is that "Photography can serve simply as a visual book – a straightforward record of events, people, and places."

We are required to capture 5 photos using straight photographic techniques
1. Line
2. Shape
3. Form
4. Texture
5. Color
within NUS outdoor compound.

I had a hard time getting this assignment done! Firstly, I don't own a DSLR camera therefore, I need to borrow from the school. I felt happy that I managed to borrow one but I am so unlucky!! Guess what?! I got a camera that has problem and I had to return it so that it can be sent for repair!! OMG! PANICK, I couldn't do the first assignment! >_< But luckily I manage to find a friend to lend me his camera :)

So after I got the camera, I went straight to school to do the assignment but it rains after a while :( I'm like why is everything against me? Haiz :(

So, I had to shoot during a weekday after my lesson ends. Luckily it didn't rain that day. :) I went over to Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, University Cultural Centre and Office of Estate & Development to do this assignment. Here's the better shots that I took:

Line

Line

f/2.8, 1/160 sec, 46mm, ISO-100
Comments: Does not show line strong enough due to the distraction of rain drops.

Shape

Shape 1

f/8, 1/250 sec, 38mm, ISO-100
Comments: Might be better if i crop it


Shape 2

f/5.6, 1/500 sec, 105mm, ISO-100
Comments: Nice form instead of shape

Form

Form 1

f/2.8, 1/60 sec, 70mm, ISO-110
Comments: Not 3D enough


Form 2

f/6.3, 1/250 sec, 48mm, ISO-100
Comments: Maybe I should take only part of it so that it is more 3D-ish

Texture

Texture 1

f/5.6, 1/60 sec, 105mm, ISO-160
Comments: I should crop it or take a closer shot


Texture 2

f/2.8, 1/60 sec, 34mm, ISO-400
Comments: Take a close shot

Color

Color

f/5.6, 1/100 sec, 90mm, ISO-100
Comments: None

I don't know what's focal length (lens) when I am doing this first assignment, so some of my photos didn't satisfy the technical aspects of focal length (lens): 35‐50mm! So sad :( I need to find some free time to retake all of them..
