Last Day Reflections

What I learned about photography is how there is so many different ideas and ways that go along with photography. I learned how to edit pictures on photoshop like the panoramas and levitation pictures. I learned how to clone areas to make it look somewhat real. I also learned different words that connect to photography like sabattier and multiple exposure that I didn't even know existed  I was exposed to different photographers and how they created cameras and started developing pictures.

What I learned about myself that I was able to do these assignments just with a camera. I actually felt great when an assignment was assigned, such as the blur motion pictures and I thought it would be easy to be able to take pictures like that which it was. Some of the assignments that were due I thought were hard, but then I tried to take pictures and started to get the hang of it.

What I wish we had done that we didn't do was to incorporate color pictures. I know we did for some like the macros and I think some portraits, but I'm just talking about pure color with maybe a little adjustments with brightness and contrast I suppose.

One of my main struggles were with the film camera and how we were suppose to take pictures and develop them. I had a camera, but I guess the film wasn't pit in correctly and I thought the camera was  taking pictures. When I brought it back to class and developed it, nothing appeared and it was blank and I was disappointed. At the beginning of the year I had a D or a F and I thought that was the end of the world, but things soon got easier for me.

What I conquered was believing in myself to be able to take pictures like they ones were showed to us and assigned. I was able to conquer taking pictures and turn them in on time or somewhat close to the time that it was due. I was proud of when an assignment was due and I would think the picture or picture I had taken were fabulous enough.

Thank you for giving my pictures compliments and thank you for teaching me new things that have to do with photography.

Light Project Paragraph

What I learned in the light project is trying to position the light is difficult because I was using these spot light things and it was hard to find the right area to get the right light. I feel like it was hard for me to be creative with finding good light and silhouettes. Some of the pictures I took were from a while ago that fit in this project like the ones from the concert were some pictures that had good light. I observed that when I started to figure out the right light, I found better areas to position the camera and light. The easy thing about this was just taking a picture of my shadow or behind a sheet, but I wanted to be creative.

Dog Heaven

I just wanted to do this for fun. All the pictures are of my dog and hopefully it looks like they're laying down on the clouds. I just realized that I forgot to flatten the image so my bad.
