Photography track updates by Mr Lam

Members in the photography track take note. You guys (and gals) have been taking life rather easy this few months. Some of you do not turn up for CCA, do not take part in competitions and simply tell everyone that you are in photography and there are not enough School cameras to go round so you cannot take pictures.



Starting next Monday, this will be good news for you (and the rest of the photography track members)... New criterion for being a member of the Photography Track.


1) All Photography track members must have a personal camera. The personal camera can be a DSLR, a compact camera or even a handphone camera. But the camera should be capable of taking pictures that you can print up to 5R prints at least. (i.e. 4-5 megapixels at least)


2) All photography track member must get for themselves the following items:


    a. A thumb drive (size up to you) for storing and editing personal photographs.


    b. A SD card for storing photographs taken using the school’s camera. (you do not need this
        if you are using your own camera)



3) All Photography track members must take part and submit weekly photographs taken based on the theme given every week. Submission is done online at the school’s Ask&Learn Forum pages. Members must submit 2 of their best shots weekly. These shots will be moderated and discussed by teachers and fellow students. These can also be used for future photography competition (inter-school or international). You may get CCA points for participating and winning in such competitions.

4) There will be a Inter-School competition “Bedok Reservoir” which is organized by our school. All Damai Photography members must participate. Please let the other members know about this. You can take scenery pictures or interesting people or places and activities around Bedok Reservoir area.

Deadline for submission is on the first Friday of Term 4. (you have one week holiday break to select and photoshop the pictures for submission)
