Assignment 1: Subject Elements

The theme for this week's assignment was subject elements. Basically we had to take photographs based on the following subjects:

• Lines
• Colour
• Shape
• Texture
• Lines
  

We were told to only take pictures around NUS and I decided to head for the School of Engineering just for a change of environment.

First of all, I found a row of lockers in the School of Engineering. It was a great subject to take a photograph of because of its location in a hidden corner of the school with an appropriate amount of lighting, soft but still bright enough for the photograph.




And, I found out that there were some sort of texture on the canteen pillars and I decided to take a picture of the texture of the wall along with the rising sun in the morning.




Then, after that, I found another subject that I really wanted to take a picture of. It was a colourful cactus plant that was outside the offices in the Engineering School. This photograph not only shows the sharp texture of the cactus, it also shows the vibrant colours of the plant.



For 'form', I managed to find a good angle to take a picture of the foot of a road side lamp. It appears to have a good form at that time as it has a shadow which seem to enhance its 3D effect.



However, as it was a group assignment, in the end, only my 'Lockers' photograph was presented for the critique session along with photographs taken by my other group members.
