Theme :
light, colour, texture and patterns
Observe how light interacts with object creating shadow and sense of depth. How colours change their saturation through dawn to dusk. How light create patters and how shadows make texture feel tactile.

* Location: NTU Design School
* Time: 1800hrs
Reflection
My conceptual process was rather short initially, since I do not have any idea how to approach the assignment. I spent more time listing down possible subjects that might be of interest. After narrowing down, I finally settled for NTU Design School and LaSalle College of Art. What better way to start the module with a subject related to design? Furthermore, both buildings were recognized for their unique architecture.
After surveying both places, I chose NTU Design School as my subject due to the requirements of the assignment. Although LaSalle College of Art’s interior design appealed to me, I felt that it was difficult for me to express exposure at my beginner’s level. Thus, due to my limitation in skills, I made my decision.
My initial intention was to capture the harsh shiny architecture in harmony with the lush greenery covering the building. However, I decided to focus on the shiny walls and the sky to express the theme. If you notice, the sky is overly exposed, but the reflection on the walls shows the true colors of the sky. I thought that it was interesting to see the vast limitless sky being captured in tiny panels of the wall.
For photo 3, I tried to dabble around with the different filters. Photo 3a is shot using the normal filter and photo 3b is shot using an orange filter. I had to adjust the brightness to compensate for the details of the building.
During class, after listening to others explaining their photos and concepts, I realize this module was going to be challenging. There were so many students who were either professional photographers or experienced in that field. I figured out that I needed to put in more research to live up to the class standard. Looking forward to the next assignment.
Self-Assessment
I would rate this assignment 92/100. (50 for creativity and 42 for effort)

i like your first photo, however i think the others are overly exposed. i know you mentioned that it was on purpose, but it just seem abit too empty or white in those areas. Even so, i got to give you credit for your photos. Those are certainly nice curves!
thanks for you comments! Appreciate them! Yep, i will work on my exposure for my future prints. =)
Yar, i agree with steph. photo two seemed overly exposed. as for photo three, i prefer the one with orange filter.
i agree too. i like 3b more.
A great shot taken for Photo 1.
And I like the photo with orange filter, it gives the impression that the photo was taken just before the sun was about to set.
I really like photo one. The background shot of the sky, together with the lines formed from the buildings give it a very interesting yet unreal 2D effect.
