iPhone Photography 2

As what Emil Pakarklis, the founder of iPhone Photography School would always say: " You can take incredible photos with the only camera that you have in your pocket at all times, and that is your iPhone." - or whatever mobile phone you may have then.
Herewith, are some of the samples of my photos taken by my iPhone 6 Plus. Of course, these photos won't be simply appreciatable without the help of the editing tool that I used. To be honest, I am still struggling on mastering the photography especially on the editing techniques...however, I am truly inspired of Emil's words: "Some people work for years to master iPhone photography shooting and editing techniques. But with a few simple tricks, you can start taking much better photos."  And that tricks would be learned by reading some blogs and tips coming from the mobile professional photographers.

iPhone Photography

Taking photos using my iPhone has been the latest passion I like to do. Well, since I like taking photos carrying a DSLR could be a hassle and tiring. Apart from it's bulky and heavy, you don't carry it yourself every day.
According to Emil Pakarklis, "The best camera is the one that's always in your pocket." I guess, he was correct on that area because I don't always carry my DLSR with me.


 Here's what Emil Pakarklis statement: One of the common iPhone photography misconceptions is that the iPhone can’t be used for serious photography. While DSLR cameras are technically superior, the quality of a photo mostly depends on the photographer’s intent and creative vision.As photographers we often get caught up buying the latest photo gear thinking that it will help us take better photos, while no camera can take a good photo without the photographer’s ideas.
That’s because your iPhone – just like any other camera – is a tool. And it’s a tool that can be used to take both poor and outstanding photos.
But with the right knowledge and the right techniques you can use your iPhone to take photos that are so great that nobody would even believe they were taken with the iPhone!

Slam Book or Slam Note

As a teacher, I don't normally post any school worksheets here in my personal blog. But this time, I was completely convinced myself to post one which I personally made. Back in the day slam book or slam note was a wide popular to the teenagers in my time. As far as my memory serves me right, every teenager in the 80s had been hooked on this.
Let me just clear it, Slam books were books that looked like autograph books. They would get passed around in school all the time. 
Once you were asked to sign in, you had to answer all the questions being provided in the slam book. That include asking about your fave singer, food, place, motto, ambition, etc.
Since my skills in the computer and editing has improved, I decided to make classroom worksheets where I could be benefited so as the other ESL teachers.
Herewith, I posted the slam book that I personally made.
