Photography is NOT easy...but FUN!
wow,didnt realise that photo printing can be so tiring. :) Just got back from college..did alot of prints today but didnt waste alot of the paper cause today.. :) well,learnt from my mistakes i had yesterday so today i made alot of test strips..and most of them came out quite well the first or second try..which also means i'm getting better at this thing. :) So good for me too..haha.. :) Used like 5 photo papers today and got like 4 good ones..but none of them i really like..Maybe i'm just being too much of a perfectionist. :D Well,right after i printed the one i liked best..i showed it to Mr. Lee and he said it was "acceptable"..and i asked what does that mean..is it only a 'pass'? Cause i really didnt want just a 'pass' work..seeing how many good composed photos i have. :)
But looking at William's and Brandon's photos..i'm beginning to think otherwise.. :P Oh well,at least i like most of them. :) Went over to Li Ann's place to show it to her and Li Mei..and guess what..Li Mei rejected all of it..even the one i liked the best. hahaha..guess its back to the darkroom for more printing. :) Oh well,for the better i guess..cause after awhile i began to not like the one i thought was best..Sigh,looking at how many i've wasted on tuesday..guess i'll have to buy another pack of 25's to use. Hmm,maybe i can buy a few pieces off Brandon since most of his work came out pretty good. :)
Well,it is also because he had alot of help from William and Atif. Actually,most of the gang had alot of help from William and Atif..in which i stuck to my gun and did everything myself..and also with some help from Mr. Lee..Mostly just asking Mr. Lee what should i do and stuffs like that..Really have to thank Mr. Lee cause i kept running to me after each test strip just to ask for his opinion. He was really really helpful with his 'use filter 4' or 'adjust the aperture to 5.6'..really really helpful. :) One of those lecturers i wish i had when i was in secondary school. :P
Anyways,i should get going cause i'm 'forced'..well,ok i was asked to go for this focus group thing that Li Ann and her group is doing for college..so while i was at her place showing her my prints..she asked [forced] ;) hehe..me to go along to be among the focus group..which i have no idea what it's all about...but since they are having it at A&W..i think i'll just tag along..haha. :) Yummy hot waffles and icy cold root beers, here i come! :) I mean..if the focus group was somewhere..i wouldnt be going at all. :P Cause i'm really really tired..been standing for like 5 - 6 hours..give and take anyway..cause we started work in the darkroom around 9.45am and we worked til like we chased out of the photolab cause they close at 4.30pm..haha. :) And i was also running back and forth..busy asking Mr. Lee what i should do since he'll be the one thats gonna grade our work..so might as well try to get ahead by asking him to help perfect the photos. :) But all in all,it was really fun looking at the pictures appear while we develop them.
Yikes,its already like 7pm..i really have to go..Havent been to the toilet the whole day..so think its time i go pay a visit to my toilet..haha. :P Since i've gotta pick up Li Ann around 7.15pm from her place and head to A&W for waffles and root beer..oh no wait,it should her focus group..haha. :) Oh well,all the same to me. :P Just give me some warm waffles with ice-cream and root beer..i'll tell u anything u want to know..haha. :) Well,thats not the only food items u can use to tempt me..there's a whole list. :D
Anyways, "Au revoir, mes amis" Will see if i can blog again later after the focus group..hehe. :) Maybe might go for supper too. ;) So hang loose, dudes & dudettes.
