Assignment 2
My fellow J1 comrades,
Great teacher has proclaimed that you will need to submit your photos (as mentioned in Assignment 1) if you have yet to do so. Please also bring your laptop (if you have one) with software installed for next lesson and have some photos (at least 5-10) ready for use in class.
Those who refuse to heed will be sent to do hard labour in Siberia.
Your fellow comrades,
Kingston and Eunice

Here comes.... Assignment 1! (not graded, la.)
Great photos posted on the previous post about the Cambodia trip! I'm kind of disappointed that none of these photos were sent in for the 10th Anniversary Exhibition... Please, next time do send your photos in! They are really good. I particularly loved Valerie's buffaloes in the forest shot.
As for the J1s, here's your assignment for the next lesson. There will be a photo critic session for the next lesson, so for those who are not shooting for the 10th Anniversary event, please do the following:
1. Go take some photos over the next few days. It can be anything, people, flowers, pets, street shots, scenery. Remember the compositional rules I taught you!
2. Choose ONE best photo that you have taken so far.
3. Send it in to this email address: mjcphotog.alumni@gmail.com with your name and subject "Assignment 1".
4. Do this by Tuesday midnight LATEST.
5. No editing needed =)
For the J1s who are shooting for the 10th Anniversary event, please do the following:
1. Look for Eunice and Kingston at the clubroom at 2pm. We will brief you on what will be happening. (If you need to borrow any additional equipment, please clear this with your J2 Exco.)
2. After you return home, also choose THREE to FIVE best photos that you have taken on that day that can show the rest of the club what happened at the event.
3. Send it in to the same email address: mjcphotog.alumni@gmail.com with your name and subject "10th anniversary event photos"
4. Do this by Tuesday midnight, latest.
5. No editing needed.
Okay, that's all folks! See you guys tomorrow!

Basic Photography & The Alumni Exhibition
What a long day!! As I mentioned today in class, you can download today's slides here --> Click me!!
After the photog lessons, Eunice, Chin Chye and I went to the photog room to prepare for the Alumni Exhibition that is coming up this Sat.. Among all the exhibitions that we have done, this one probably takes the prize for the highest budget and quality. The frames themselves; from Ikea, costs almost $14 bucks each and that is considered super budget for a frame already (custom frames usually costs over $100 bucks and standard sized wood ones with good workmanship costs around $50).. Unfortunately, because they were budget and off-the-shelf, the cover glass were really dirty and had water marks all over.. So Chin Chye and I painstakingly washed and dried ALL the cover glass by hand. I really feel for the Chinese workers polishing the iPhone glass screens all day long... One good reason not to buy an iPhone NOR the new iPad...:P
Also.. because the glass was budget too... the edges were not buffered and we both got minor cut wounds while washing and drying the cover glass... Ouch!!
Yes, so this exhibition, is not just any exhibition; it is a limited edition exhibition; one of the kind with my DNA all over the prints and frames ;) hope you enjoy it... Buy the prints if you like them.. and for those coming to shoot on Saturday, lucky you because you will get to see the exhibition... because it might no longer be there on Monday..
