1. I like the train/tram/whatever you call it:) And the forth picture is simply wonderful! I think it is perfect:)

For the first photo, you may want to take a more close-up of the train/tram? After all that is your main subject. But I like the trees that seems to tower above the train too:) And I think you should balance your photo, as in right now as I look at it, it is slightly tilted, especially when you at the ground. From my experience, the photo will really look much nicer if it is symmetrical or balanced.

For the last photo, it looks quite nice, but I was wondering, are you trying to take the sky or the path or the both? If you want to take the path, you may want to try squat lower and take a portait photo, and vice versa if you want to focus on the sky.

2.  Great photos taken.
One suggestion though. Unless nanyang is what you intend to include in your theme, which I think it it not, you should try not to involve unrelated objects in your photo. It will confuse the viewers. This is what I leaernt from my coursework…:)

3.  Oh I like this design alot!!! Wish I were at the camp…
I think it is good to use the 中国结 in your design. It is essentially China:) And I like how you intertwine the words with the 中国结.

However, you may consider also adding a Western touch to it. After all, it is a bicultural camp. And I think the behind should be more complicated. Maybe you can use the 中国结 again? Somehow…

4. Nice photos there:) Love the piano ones.
Actually, just to make it more perfect, watch out for the lighting. Or you can just use Photoshop and adjust the lighting. I like the lighting in your photo in the third row and the last one too. A nice and warm feeling to it:) So you may want to ahieve this type of lighting for the rest of your photos:)

5.I think some of the drawings are better than others because they seem to have the “flow”. What I mean is that some of your dresses look to rigid and hard, and lack of the 轻飘飘 feel(sorry had to use chinese coz I dunnot how to explain).

Other than that, I think the proportionals are alright. Maybe next time you can try drawing the model too? Having someone to wear the cloth may make it easier to draw the 轻飘飘feel.

Book title: Digital Photo Artist

Author: Tony Worobeic and Ray Spence

 

I was really inspired by this book, especially the section about “Creative use of flatbed scanner”.  From the book: “The flatbed is a much undervalued means of capturing images- used as a macro lens, it is easy to photograph small man-made and naturak forms in abundant details. Once captured, these scans can be merged effortlessly with other more conventional photographic sources to produce dramatic and exciting images”.

After reading through, I decided to give it a try.

Below is the link of the piece of montage in which I scanned in something and incooporated with other medias,

I really liked the water droplets on the glasses. This has inspired me to take a series of photos similar to this. I used one of them in my coursework.

Book: Fundburo

Author: Siegfried Lenz

In English the title means Lost and Found.

This book is set in a small Lost and Found office in a train station . The narrator “I”, records his observations such how people react when they heard that what was lost was returned. People came in everyday, when they lose stuff, and they leave again, sometimes with smiles on their faces sometimes without.

Actually, this reminds me of“青春”. In our  youth, when growing up, there are things bound to be lost, and we will definitely find new things. It’s not the lost and found your stuff but it is about what we lost and what we have found instead in our lives.

I almost used this idea for my coursework. I even did a survey to ask people what are the things they have lost and gained while growing up. I want to use their answers as keywords and as a guideline to take related photos.
