On the first class of Introduction to Photography, Mr Vinod briefed us about this elective subject with the marking criteria for our assignments that we will be going through this 18 weeks for our first semester. And yet, he shared his knowledge about the better ways for choosing a better quality camera to us. He taught of the CCD sizes and what are the effects of the power of lens to the quality of a picture. It can be very confusing to understand and is best explained by a diagram showing the various relative sizes of different types of sensors.

Other than that, Mr Vinod showed us some of his photographs that he took during his career as a Professional Photographer. The lecturer told us to join a Facebook group that was made for students who are taking Photography classes so that we could share information with one another to gain more knowledge on what we are learning.

Almost to the end of lecture, Mr Vinod gave us an assignment. Choose 5 photos that you like which were captured by yourself and 5 photos that you like which were taken by professional photographers. Next, prepare a slide show of all the 10 photos with its descriptions and explanations as to why and how I came to like the photos that I have chosen. All of us will have to do a presentation in our next class.
