6 Best Shots for presentation in class for today. Wasn't too bad and was the first one to present. Did a brief one and the photo critic was rather good. Most of it wasn't critique so badly despite not being able to edit or even crop the pictures. Final Portfolio due by next friday. 25 shots on people photography. A couple of ideas in mind for now. Hope i will do a good job on this.
And, after discussing with my dad last night, i am going to sell off my 400D after next week and get the 500D. Can't wait for next week. Hopefully able to get a buyer who is able to meet my price range.
Side Light - Able to improve by choosing a even more blooming flower.
Rim Light - Higher angle to better capture the petals.
Dominance - I like this the most because the teacher like this too.lol
Balance - I think it just needs a little more contrast.
Reflection - Was told to focus on one building instead of a few. And take it during sunrise/sunset to bring out the colour.
Dominance - Tighter crop will slightly better lighting.

To sell or not to sell?
I feel like selling my 4ooD and top up a few hundred more to get the new 500D. Had my 400D for just over a year and it would be even harder to sell later on if i wanted to. The body for the 500D is $1269. Only problem is my current battery grip isn't suitably for the 500D and i would have to get another one. So i guess selling off my body together with the battery grip. Any interested parties? Most probably would think it over tonight and would sell it after my IS module on exploring photography ends in about 2 to 3 weeks time.

Caught my second movie last week with some of my classmates since coming back from India. Friday the 13th is not so worth the money but if you like those killing and stuff, i think it won't be too bad? The first movie i watched since coming back was Fast and Furious 4. Nice show i feel, maybe because i prefer more action related movies.

Anyway, it's the 3rd week of school already and there's more and more stuff to do. OOAD1 is making more sense after we start doing proper work and database is still better than OOP. Photos are slowly coming up as i find time to sort and edit whenever possible.
The interior of the catholic church.
Focus wasn't on the kids as i took the shot without the view finder. They were very shy when i tried taking them. So i had to take it secretly.
