When I first walked into this class I didn't really know what to expect. I was curious about what exactly we were going to learn and focus on. Soon I realized that it would be centered around photoshop and using different camera modes to take the best possible photos. I knew a little about taking photos and photoshop form last year, but I had very limited knowledge. I remember the first assignment we had to do to practice taking different styles of photos. I took the camera home and just walked around looking for something cool. I would try everything in different angles and positions just trying to meet the criteria and figure out what looked best. Some of my worst work was probably from these initial assignments. As we learned more about how to use the camera and different photoshop tools I slowly became more used to using them and taking & editing photos. I went from wandering around and looking for photos to that might look cool like... I also began to like taking certain types of photos more and knew more of what looked good when. I also started to use photoshop to elevate my photos a little more. One of the most fun things I tried for a photo week was light painting. It was something new that I hadn't heard of and I wanted to try it. There was a lot of trial and error and things didn't always work but it was cool to see that a camera could do that. There were some weeks where there was that one shot that I really liked or weeks when I thought they were all good or not so good. It was interesting to experiment more with camera modes and lighting to get different natural effects and use photoshop to enhance them. These photos are me trying to take photos in different modes, using photoshop, and playing off natural light Now, I look back and can see how much I've learned over the trimester, from the first shutter speed and aperture assignment to now just adjusting the camera to make it work. There are many photos I look back on that I'm proud of and can see the difference in between the first few weeks. The last photoshop assignment where we chose out own tutorials I saw how much more I learned from just seeing new tools and how much I liked being able to portray certain effects. This class has taught me a lot and introduced a whole different way to show my creativity. These are some of my favorite photos that I took or photoshopped.
