Story Behind a Camera Viewfinder

First time holding a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) Camera, and boy was it expensive. goodbye paycheck

We went to several places to take a few shots, and I've experienced tons of first times; holding up a weighted camera while finding for the perfect shot, sitting on pavement floors or lying down to get bigger subjects, climbing up trees (okay one tree) to look beyond the foliage, and taking shots of many different subjects that I would otherwise never notice if I hadn't had a photography class.

Orchid Park shots (chosen ones):

This got into the final round.

And this.

Product Shot (Perfume):

Portrait Shot(I have nothing else):

Product Shot(Watch):

The world's thinnest watch (my father claims)

This got into the final round along with the thinnest watch.

Temple:

This was really smol.

Twin Tower:

Chosen.

Under the sea?

Product Shot(Wine):

My edits:

I was first introduced to the burn tool. I had fun burning my own photos.

This was cropped to better place the orchid as the main subject. The grass is also blurred out.

The focus of this shot is the blinding sun. (it was much more blinding at the actual scene) This makes for an imposing shot, with the elongated palm tree stretching so close to the sun.

When will my reflection show...

Warm and friendly, with her eyes crinkled and slightly out of focus.

It's a very smol and very slim watch.

The person is there to give the statues a bit of life, but it's also not quite the focus of this shot, thus the person is cropped and blurred out.

The sky was really purple.

By playing with the colour balance, I increased the blue and put on a cool filter. The overall shot makes it look like the Twin Tower is submerged under the sea. without the sea

Finally got around to playing around with the gray-scale function

I was planning to make a movie poster but fumbled around with this instead.

Here's some progress with these 4 adorable kittens :33

Like I said... I fumbled. Not sure how this looks like to others but, the kittens are adorable and it's a fact.

Also, we were thought how to render movie titles along with this gray scale function. I'll add this in case needed?

Helvetica

In regards to this post I'm going to make, I will temporarily switch my fonts for "the effect" and to somehow "get a point across". Off the top of my head, Helvetica gave people and designers a sense of clarity and simpleness, something which designers of that time period had never pursued. Because of it's block-y and edgy sides, people find that Helvetica did the job to get the point across marketing and branding designs. It made cold, hard statements and it leaves a strong impression in the viewers head. 

“It’s the real thing. Period! Coke. Period! In Helvetica. Period! Any questions? Of course not. Drink Coke. Period! Simple.”  - Michael Bierut from the film Helvetica.

Of course that doesn't mean every one in the whole wide world agreed with it. (Due to postmodernist perception) After some time, Helvetica became a mere "tool" for designers, opting out creativity and going for the easy way out - recycling Helvetica without a second thought. As a result, things became dull. All in all, Helvetica is a masterpiece of a typeface, loved by many and is a classic no one can beat, but as designers, we should really think out of the box and create something that's of our own. A unique sense of taste and aesthetic just like what Helvetica did during its era. We shouldn't just reuse what our predecessors left for us, but to see it as a sign of change and a step taken by the brave and the bold.
