Yup editing to enhance the quality of your pics should be fine (if needed), but not to the extent whereby the reality of it is twisted! xD

Lion's roar pics

Great pics! Do learn :-)

Cut out all the distractions, like this. Focus on the action.

Captures the moment... just too bad it blocks the 2nd guy, but u get the idea :-)

Multiple layers to the pic... interesting details reveal as ur eyes start peeling away layers


Nice use of panning. Maybe cut away the excess on the right? The action leads your eye to the left, maybe put something there? (the pic might look a bit empty)


shows interaction.


notice how the use of framing and rule of thirds emphasizes the emotion.

Think abt this: what is the effect of the space in the center? Would it be better with or without that space?

Hi everyone,

This is of utmost importance. Pls take part in the photo competition organised by ME! This competition is entitled A Peacock's Tale.

The theme is Racial Harmony. So pls, pls rack your brains and snap any photos pertaining, even remotely, to Racial Harmony. Yup, also remember to write a short, one-liner caption to explain its connection with theme.

Prizes are attractive. A $500 cash prize for the top prize. (Btw, considering RIPC's ownage photography standards, we are bound to sweep the prizes should we participate. So, everyone, LET'S PARTICIPATE.)

Objectifs Lesson: 29 Feb

Briefly what we had learnt:

• Aperture: the amount of light that is allowed into the camera at any point in time. Important relationship: as the value of the aperture increases, there is less light in the photo.
• Shuttle speed: the duration that light is allowed into the camera. important relationship: as the value of the shuttle speed increases, there is more light in the photo.
• Focus your picture on the centre of the subject. Remember to 1) half press 2)HOLD and recompose your shots 3) press the trigger.
