Let's Move It !

Written by: Siti Namirah (3e4) and Sharifah Nora (3e1)

Finally exams are over ! The students are waiting to have their big break after a busy and stressful term. It was then time to get hyped up and to have fun. A company named Skratch came to East Spring Secondary School to teach and showcase their talent and passion in Hip Hop to us, the sec 3s. We anticipated in the activity, with enthusiasm. They first taught us about the different genres of Hip Hop. There are dancing, singing, rapping and even beat-boxing! There was a surprise guest from America who came to Singapore to showcase his talent to us. We were all so amazed by his talent of imitating a famous Hip Hop celebrity, T-Pain. Then, an awesome 4 time national beat-boxer, ZulMyStroe, made the audience wanting for more. His performance blown our minds away! The best part of day was when we got to get on our feet and move our body to the song by Beyonce. The song was catchy and made us enjoy the dance move taught by the instructors.

Here are some of what the sec3s taught about the programme.

Enoy the Ice cream~

My niece was eating the ice cream at the Swensens. I wanted to take a picture of the ice cream and also how she eat it.

This picture was taken at the Botanical gardens and the shutter speed is very slow. I rest my camera on the rocks while waiting for the shutter to shut.

We went to the botanical gardens and i saw this statue of a guy playing an old piano and a lady looking at him playing. the guy's hand was about to touch the piano while the lady was resting on the piano. I decided to take at this angle to give an impact. This picture also reminds me of a song that I love.

I took this picture on the day i learned about Silhouette photos. I went to the basketball court and took a picture of the goal post. The pictures shows the clouds too.

This is a picture of an unkown plant taken at the back of the school near the atrium. The focal point is the centre of the plant.

In this picture, the focal point is the Sunshine in the middle of the leaf. I was trying to take a picture of a silhouette but i don't think the picture turn out to be a silhouette photo.

I submitted this photo to the environment club competition. It was titled as " Let's Shine " . The pictures shows the bright and fun day that everyone should shine and be happy . In the end, I won the prize.

I submitted this photo in the Canon EOS competition. I named it Big Bang as the sun looks like a star at night. I took this in the afternoon at SP during my break. The aperture and the shutter speed was too high that it turned out very dark but the sun remains shining.

I took this after I was inspirated by tumblr photos ^^ [lol]

When my niece was calling someone, I was playing with my camera. So, I took some pictures of her. In this picture, I caught a moment where she look so happy to call her aunt.

This picture was taken at SP during my lunch break. On the way back to the lab, I took a pic of the road. I put my camera close to the ground and capture.

slow shutter speed !

With slow shutter speed, we can use it to make something look transparent/fade/ghostly in pictures. In this picture, The McFlurry looks like it is fading. I put my camera on the table and set it to 8 seconds shutter speed. After awhile, i take the Mcflurry out of the frame before the 8 seconds is over.

For this picture, I used BULB . When I capture the light, I move my camera a little and turns out like a light painting.

This picture, I used tripod to hold the camera . The shutter speed was around 10 seconds.
