GGGE2153 My week 9 (Reflection)

9th Reflection,
April, 29th/16

Asalamualaikum and hello everyone,
So today, we are learning about "PHOTOGRAPHYYY". Dr. Fariza shared so many information regarding this topic and she did shown us some of the pictures she took while travelling to different countries around the globe. She also shown us some pictures while she's doing an outdoor shooting with her previous students. You guys can check 'em out here --> Photography Outdoor Shooting Session.

Move on to what we have learned today, so basically we are exposed to some knowledge about photography. Honestly, i never know what was meant by aperture, light exposure and depth of field. But today, Dr.Fariza cut 'em to the chase. Finally i can fully understand those terms. Firstly the aperture,

The higher the number of the aperture, the smaller the size of the circle (referring to the picture above). Which means, it will allow less amount of light and this will affect the depth of field which will not help the camera to have a better focus on the main object.

Next, the depth of field (DOF). It is also called the focus range. It means the distance between the nearest and the farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

Using the same photo, we can see that the one with the aperture of f1.4 has the best photo which we can see that the object are really clear and the background are blurred. This shows that, the area of DOF appeared in higher intensity focuses on the object itself to make it outstanding.

Apart from this, we also asked to create an online photo sharing account whether with 'flickr' or 'Picasa'. I decided to create an account under flickr because i found it linked with my yahoo account. Thus, this will make things a lot more easier for me :D

So today, officially i'm using flickr account for the first time and i've been sharing few photos inside it. Check 'em out here guys --> My flickr account !
For me, flickr is very easy to use, it is user-friendly and yet minimalist in its own way. You can see lots of amazing photos captured by different people from around the globe. This really will help your skill in taking photo (perhaps) by looking out some amazing photos shared here.

So in conclusion, i've learned few things today:
1. I learn what is aperture, depth of field, and focused object.
2. I learn how to use flickr.
3. I learn that photography is not that easy..hahaha

Talking about photography, i can't wait for the outdoor photography fieldwork at Putrajaya this upcoming May 14th. See ya next time XOXO

Short Course At the ELTC Nilai N9 ( Teaching Language Through Literature )

Asalamualaikum and Hello everyone,
On 7 of April 2016, me and my classmates went to ELTC which stands for the English Language Teaching Centre located in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan (MY). We departed from UKM (National University Of Malaysia) approximately at 12.00pm and arrived at ELTC about 45minutes later. And we departed back to UKM at 6.00pm and arrived at UKM about 1hour later.

Well basically what we did there ?
First, we did what were called "Reader Response Methodology"
We were asked about our own understanding about these two sentences :
1. Life is a stage and each and one of us are mere actors and actresses..
2. A woman by any other name is still a woman..

Next, we did "Life's Relay" or known as Best Practices
in this section we are learning the elements of literature study that consists of
a) Theme
b) Plot
c) Subject matter
d) Characters
e) Setting

OK...next activity are really fun. Called 'UKM IDOL 2016"
We are exposed to 3 different parts which are the voice, the emotion, and the physical reaction to certain situation.

Move on, we did "Readers' Theatre" which to test our reading fluency.
We were given a script of a play then in our respective group we were given the same character but different with the other groups. Meaning the other groups get their own character.

Last but not least, we did the "Shadow Play" or known as Wayang Kulit
there are 4 main elements in playing this which are
1. White Sheet
2. Torch Light
3. Characters
4. Tok Dalang

And right after everything was done, we have our group photo session and we were invited to have a tea outside of the library before going back to UKM. Btw thank you to everyone especially respective lecturers from the ELTC for having us especially Dr.T. Vanitha and Dr.Rashidah for preparing such a great slot for all of us. Not forgotten, thank you so much to Dr.Maslawati, Dr.Hamidah, and Cik Azlina (our UKM lecturers) and last but not least my classmates who are really giving their best in making this trip a success AND also the bus drivers for taking us there and also the catering for preparing delicious kuih-muih for us.
