In a recent CCA Leaders Meeting with Mr. Adrian Lim and Mr Maran, they have decided ,amongst many things, that all CCAs would have to design a flag that would represent the CCA. This is done to build a stronger bond among the members of the CCA, and to the school. Therefore, it is recommended that all of you are to design and submit at least 1 flag that represents our club clearly. My email is noonshiver@gmail.com, feel free to send your designs here.

Performance Art Photography by Mr Lim Seng Tiong
Photojournalism by Zaobao photographer, Mr Spencer Chen
Student photography by Mr Loh Eng Hong

Performance Art Photography by Mr Lim Seng Tiong
Started photography at the age of 9, first work on performance art photography by photographing street "wayang" (Chinese street opera). Great advice from Mr Lim:

Photography is what u use to express your thoughts for a certain subject.
Understand your "object" beforehand. i.e. go for the performance rehearsal so as to be able to plan for your shots on the actual day.
Never or reduce the usages of flashes in a theatre performance as it spoils the desired lightings on the stage.
Slow shutter used on fast motions can create a pretty unique effect at times.

Photojournalism by Mr Spencer Chen
Have been working as a SPH Zaobao photographer for the past seven years. Recently just gone to Phuket to photograph the tsunami incident. He describe himself as a jack of all trades, as photojournalists covers the photography aspects of stuff from political events to food. Aspiring words from Mr Chen:

Photography is what you use to tell a story.
It's not the camera u have that matters, it's the person behind the camera.
Sometimes it's not necessary to put your object in the middle of the frame.
Look out for the emotions of the people and not jus capture plain, boring shots.

Student Photography by Mr Loh Eng Hong
Had his own photography exhibition at the NUS museum which feature photos of his trip to China. Trained under the first speaker, Mr Lim Seng Tiong and is known for the interesting angles he capture in his photos. Tips from Mr Loh:

Flip the 50mm lens over to obtain a macro lens.
Black and white photos can create a strong impact at times.
Go closer. Interact but don't distract.
Look out for patterns; make a art piece out of your photos
Watch out for shades and shadows in black and white shots.

To reiterate what was announced during the meeting, attendance will be strictly taken for all general meetings, as well as during the editorial meetings which you have been assigned. Absences without valid reason will be reported to the CCA department. As our general meetings on Thursday is only once per month, the onus is now for the members with conflicting core CCAs schedules to arrange with their core CCAs to be excused one Thursday from 2pm till 4.30pm per month. Editorial meetings will be arranged when there is a need and the scheduling will be more flexible. Attendance is compulsory in both cases.

We need to confirm the participation of the Sec 1 members. Can Mark and James look for those Sec 1s who were absent for the meeting and confirm their status with the CCA? I will appreciate if you can get this done by Tuesday 16 Jan.

For those who were absent or did not stay for the entire meeting on Thursday, please post here is you will like to add your names to any of the committees or teams.

Media Club

2005-01-04T10:06:00.000+08:00

The official name for the CCA is now Media Club. The Sec 1s will find our club listed in the CCA selection form as Media Club coming Monday.

Summary

2004-12-30T18:24:00.000+08:00

More than 20 people came in to the room today and a handful were interested. The photo wall was a huge success and the parents marvelled at the works of the photographers. The main questions were about the usage of cameras and the time slot, but the two questions I found most difficult to respond to were:

1) How many members are there in the CCA? We have about 25, but about 10 come each week. What can I say?
2) What achievements do you have? Aside from the photo from Montage: Magic of Light, and the award by Syiha, I couldn't think of any others to boast about. What can be done?

I don't know if efforts would be recognised for this CCA Day, but I think Yee Jek, Mark, Sean & Xian Jun deserve real credit for this. Others participated too. Maybe it's time that these peopl get invited to write posts here.

Yee Jek has a restructuring plan laid out and would be released and announced soon, probably before the first meeting with the new members, if there are any.

CCA Day Plan

Zero entries for Epson?

2004-09-02T18:54:00.000+08:00

I must announce that there were zero entries for Epson Contest this year. There were a few last minute entries from some of you, (I just want to note your effort), but the pictures are not good enough. This is now an serious issue. If nobody takes part in the competitions, then the school will not justify spending so much money on new equipment each year. And it will also have a negative impact on your CCA achievements.

I will like an open discussion tomorrow during meeting on how the club can work together and I want everyone's ideas and suggestion on getting those achievements and medals in competitions.

Good job done!

2004-08-31T18:33:00.000+08:00

Thought...

2004-08-18T19:35:00.000+08:00

On more information on this week's meeting, see further below with the topic in blue text. In addition to my previous post about this Friday, there will be distribution of the magazine PhotoI.This magazine was ordered quite some time ago.

So quite a few things this week but most of them are not expected to take much time. So far, the maximum "population" we have got is only about half. Unexpected, but true.

I find this blog very isolated. Announcements posted are just passed each week with maybe only a couple of people taking a look at it. Seems very dull, as if only three people are posting topics and an occassional comment. Maybe, that's the reason for the attendance.
