Reflection on the past three week

  I've learnt not to be so quick in judging people based on their first impressions. Wait until I've found out more about them then decide. Many times, we have judged a person on just the first encounter. And many times, that led to misunderstandings. I've learnt to dig deeper and learn more about their personalities and character and not judging a book by its cover. The person might not be how we assume them to be, leading to misunderstandings. 

  I've also learnt that there a 3 stages to a picture: Factual, Process, Emotions. Factual is just describing what you see in the picture with just a look. While Process means to describe and elaborate more about the small details that might not have caught your eye with the first look. Emotions is to really dig deeper into the picture and focus on the smallest details, understanding what the photographer is trying to convey in that picture and see it in his point of view while also reflecting at the same time. I feel that there is a lot to learn and understand from just a simple picture. 

  We were also told to observe the school life in RV. We go to school 5 days a week, and yet not many of us bothered to observe what is happening around us. This lesson has taught me to be more observant and aware of my surroundings. We were supposed to take 4 pictures which represent School spirit, Fear, Happiness and Life. Through this activity, I learnt that it is in fact really to convey the message through a photograph and it has to be at the exact moment to be able to do that. A lot of hard work is put into a photograph for it to be a good one.
