Say "Cheese"!

On the 13th of April 2007, students from Primary 4B, 4I, 4G of Concord Primary School had session 2 of their Digital Photography and Creative Collage Workshop organised by colorwise.

Session 1 (held the week before) saw them learning the basics of photography, such as how to compose a photo and to take advantage of the different modes on the camera to optimise the quality of their photos. Session 2 would be hands-on with the cameras (right) and applying their theory into practice. Our instructors were on-hand to guide and answer any queries (left).

It was heartening to see the children running about, taking photos and clearly enjoying themselves. The enthusiastic children sure had a field day striking poses (right) and taking photos of each other as well as of the school compound. For some, it was their first time handling a digital camera, for others, this was the chance to brush up their skills and pique their interest for photography. Whatever the case, everyone went back more knowledgeable and greatly anticipating session 3 next week, where they will get to compile their photos into collages using PhotoMix.
