On my first days of this class, I didn't understand how to properly use a camera or photoshop. I didn't know much more than how to press the shutter button and get an image. I did not understand what aperture or shutter speed was. I had no previous knowledge on how to take good pictures using different elements of composition. As we started to do assignments such as the composition assignment I started to realize that there was much more to photography than just clicking a button. You actually had to use lighting, perspective, patterns and many other things to get a professional photo. Now, because of all of the assignments like the car photoshop assignment and the weekly pictures, I feel confident in my photography skills. Instead of just clicking a button, I now look for the shutter speed and aperture and lighting before shooting. (Above) In these early pictures of mine, I did not properly know how to use many features of the camera and use techniques such as panning well. (Above) In these three more recent photos I found myself using more advanced techniques such as perspective, lighting, and advanced photoshop skills that I learned throughout the course of this class. These skills resulted in quality images such as the last two, or a professional looking photoshop-edited picture. (Above) I think that the top photo is the worst photo I've taken during this class because it displays how I am using beginner panning techniques and lighting as well as a poor background. In the bottom photo, you can see me using advanced lighting and perspective. This was one of my latest photos and this comparison shows how I greatly improved over time because of all the assignments and lessons in this class. I would like to take digital photography 2 in the future, as I would like to continue growing my skills and putting them to use.

AuthorI am a freshman at Saline. I chose this class because I wanted to try something new that I hadn't done before. I don't have any previous photography skills or knowledge, so I thought that this class would be something that could help me learn more about digital photography. Archives
