PHOTO-BLOGGING
Your life in photos
Hi, I am Maureen.
I blog at www.misstamchiak.com
Do you have a blog?
What do you write about?
Campus Spy
What is special about you?
Your campus life is interesting!
Target audience?
Why are some blogs are unpopular?
1. Unfocused content (Topic? Categories?)
2. Your posts lack variety (Eg: Today, I went Bishan. Tomorrow, I am going AMK…)
3. Blog for a reason (Eg: End of exams! So happy! The end. Use Twitter!)
4. Your headlines don’t grab attention (Hi! VS How-to…)
5. You post inconsistently (Once in a blue moon)
WHY SO POPULAR?

How to blog better?
1. Focus on the most interesting / newsworthy thing
2. Avoid meaningless sentences. Eg: Professor Koh gave us a talk last night.
3. Be specific and informative
4. Don’t write events chronologically
5. Leave out the most boring stuff
Eg: Singapore Blog Awards
Create Meaningful Photos
Do not post so many posters in your blog!
Too much camwhore shots is no good unless…
Don’t leave out the details
Changing perspective
What does every photo mean?
Cannot always say “I love this picture!”, “My best picture!”, “This is damn cool!”
Rule of Third
when your subject lays on the intersections of these lines, the picture looks alot more pleasing
Give the head some space
Imagine your subject is walking in a direction. You have to that person space or leadroom for the direction they are walking towards; otherwise, it looks like he or she will walk into a wall.
Pole on Head
Do keep in mind your
background and any trees or poles that might stick out of your
subjects head.
