At first, we started out class taking notes, which wasn't too exciting, since I wanted to get straight to taking pictures. Although the notes were boring, I did learn a lot from them. Later we got to the fun part, taking the pictures! I wasn't very familiar with the camera, I mainly just pointed it and then took my picture. Now, I know how to use the shutter, aperture, manual mode, and many other different options on the camera. My photos were not too bad when I first started, but they got a lot better over time. Most of them were either too exposed, too dark, or just blurry. Now, I learned how to set up a good photo. Below are some examples of how much I improved and some of my favorite photos. For my photo shop assignments, they were not fun at first. I was struggling to figure out how to use it, but once I got the hang of it and got familiar with all the tools, it wasn't so bad. We started out with an easy assignment, the Popart. Then, as the trimester went on things got a little more difficult with a lot more steps. The harder assignments were kind of fun to put together. It was challenging sometimes, but most of it was easier then I would have expected. Below are some of my favorite photo shop assignments I have done this trimester. Overall, I think I have improved a lot. I have gotten way better at using photo shop and learning how to use a camera without just pointing and shooting. The photo shop assignments have gotten more fun over the time of taking this class and taking good pictures. This class has helped me use the composition I need to use for taking a good picture and taught me good photo shop skills to use in the future to make the photo look more professional. Below are some of my favorite photos I have taken for this class.
