Basically these are my 5 best shots from the class activity. It was Miss Jing's NM2208 class on Monday 12-2.

Overall I think the problem encountered was the space. The classroom constraint our movement. We could not move around and take pictures without interrupting their discussions held at the back and front of the class simultaneously. Furthermore the majority of the crowd is seated quite a distance from the presenter therefore there are some difficulties encountered trying to capture both the audience and the presenter into one picture. Thus framing problems were encountered.

Most of my pics are taken from the front because I was in a corner and trying not to interrupt the class discussion with my movements, I took most of my shots there. Most of the shots see people walking up close to the boards and discussing among themselves. These were taken after the class when they were allowed to walk around to discuss and view other people's work.

The lighting was rather bad as well. Hence much was done to the pictures to bring out a better contrast. I also wanted to put in more emotions into the pictures, hence my best 5 shots show a form of emotion.
