Day 12

today is the first class with Mr Ryan. he's one of my lecturer other than Ms LeeAnn. he showed us portfolio & it was awesome! he is really a pro, dude. he has worked in the Prime Minister's office, commisioned to photograph the Queen & Dukes that came to New Zealand in the 80's, done some forensic photography many many etc & he's a surfer. so cool! Ms LeeAnn is more to potraiture & advertising line. here's her website. she also writes book for Master programs. so far im satisfied with the lecturers.
so, today we learned some basic on aperture, shutter speed & DOF. went out to the college's compound & test some potrait shots. there are few of my classmates that have never touch slr before & the korean was shooting film all these while and he has to change to digital.

Look For A Star

hurry! go to your nearest GSC cinema and watch this movie. starring my darling Andy Lau & Shu Qi. a romantic comedy that you cannot miss. i watched it twice. not because of andy lau but the story line itself.
