Reflection on Activity 2
Impact of the activities on the development of the students' Graduate Attributes
In this activity, students are encouraged to capture the moments while celebrating traditional festival, Mid Autumn Festival with families. It helps students to develop their thinking skills for cherishing the moments with families. Besides, students need to think of their published photos and captions to be uploaded in the competition.
Self strength/advantage towards the activities
I have learned many photography skills and techniques throughout this activity using software application like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Besides, I learn to accept others opinion and sights since everyone have different way to look things. Everyone has his or her own opinion on each photos and we have to respect their opinions.
Challenges and how to overcome
The challenges I faced in this activity is I am not familiar with the photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop. I try to overcome it by self-learning the skills and functions in Adobe Photoshop to edit the photos.
