I chose to take photography 11 because I found a passion for taking photos. I think photography is a great way to capture moments in my life. I get to hold onto fond memories through my photos. I learned a lot while taking Photo 11, my favorite part would have to be light painting because I enjoyed playing with the shutter speed. I think that my photography has improved greatly over the course of the semester. Some of my favorite photos are of my friends because I love highlighting our friendship though photos. I think the most challenging part of the course was fully learning about the camera but after adapting to the settings I found a true passion for messing around with the white balance, aperture, and shutter speed. Along with light painting, I really enjoyed the rule of thirds assignments because I enjoy the asymmetry and symmetry in photos. I ran into some problems and difficulties when trying to use photoshop and the avatar project. I problem solved by switching to the architecture project and had much more success. I plan on using photoshop in the future while going on trips or hanging out with friends to create long lasting memories.
