Something That Changed at Nishi2 This Week
This was something I had meant to write about two weeks ago, but it ended up being left as it was. I’m very sorry <m(__)m>
We Took a Hands-On Camera Lesson
At Nishi2, we figured we also need to learn camera techniques to improve the quality of our articles, so this week we had the chance to learn from a photographer who is a friend of our president.
But Mama @ Nishi2, who loves taking landscape photos and was the No. 1 person wanting to learn more about cameras, came down with a cold and ended up being the only one who couldn’t attend the camera lesson (T_T)
As for the actual lesson, even though I’m on Instagram too, I got a lot of tough feedback… The other members were all able to learn properly, so the quality of our photos should improve?! (Of course, we’ll share what we learned with Mama too)
That said, Nishi2 isn’t aiming for professional-looking photos. The idea is more to reduce failed photos so our articles are easier to look at and easier to read. Though we’ll occasionally go all out with serious photos too!
We Received a Huge Number of Tips!
We received so many tips that it may have been the most ever. Including those that came through Facebook, the total was 12 tips!
Information we receive from readers is usually very fresh, and it often leads to articles that readers enjoy.
Once again, we would like to say thank you here. Thank you so much!!
If you notice things like “It looks like a new shop is opening!”, “Something seems to have changed!”, or “It looks like a shop is closing,” we’d be happy if you feel free to send us the information.
