We were given the assignment to capture the differences in focal length, high and low key photography and to try to take a 'zoom-shot'. My group have always wanted to go out together and take photographs, so we took a day off on Sunday and went off to take pictures around Chinatown area.
This was one of the first few pictures that I took. I thought it was a relatively good shot showing a leading line to the center of the picture. As a wide perspective shot, I personally liked it because one can really feel your attention going into the center of the photograph.
Another wide perspective shot was taken later in the night when I went to the airport and took pictures of the chairs at the airport. This was also a wide perspective shot, except that it is of a smaller scale as compared to the previous one.
Close perspective shot, or the zoom-in one as I remembered, was a photograph showing the fine details of something very small or have lots of details. I liked this shot that I took of a traditional pancake maker found in the National Museum.
At the museum, I attempted to take my zoom-shot but was stopped by the security because although non-flash photography is allowed, tripods are not allowed in the museum. So using my bare hands, I tried to take a zoom shot, using my group mate as the subject. Surprisingly, my hands were steady enough and the shot came out pretty alright.
As for the theme, symbolic of the sun, I wanted to find something very common that we can see, but we usually will not link it to the sun. I found this drain cover near a plant that really resembles the 'shape' of the sun and its rays. Though the colours and the nature of the photograph did not suggested anything bright and sunny, I still think that it is a good picture for the viewer to decode.
Thus I decided to take a picture of it.
