Reflections on a Semester

1. I learned that there are many things that can affect a photo and how it turns out. Things like apature and iso settings, rule of thirds, lighting. That you can take pictures using an untraditional camera such as a potato or a can. I learned all the concepts behind it. How too develop pictures and film.

2&4. I learned that im not very creative or artistic so some of the assignments were a struggle for me. Im also computer challenged so that made photo shop harder. Especially on the alphabet project and the  cloned panorama when we had to stitch it all together. That was especially challenging.

3. I wish we did the light writing instead of it being optional. and that you maybe would have gave a lesson on it because it sounded really cool.

5. I feel like I conquered the portraits pretty well. That was my favorite because I could just capture a moment with family or friends instead of having to plan it out a lot. I also really liked the editing of the portraits and the other projects.

LIGHT

I discovered it was a lot harder to take the backlight photos. I guess I didn't really understand the concept. But I really did enjoy the direct photos. I liked that I could do a bunch of different angles to get the right shadow and the lighting looks prettier. I struggled with getting my camera to focus because it was so dark in the rooms.
