Over the course of this trimester I have improved so much as a photographer! On the first day that I walked into class I didn't even know that there is more than one type of camera, throughout the trimester I have learned so much about cameras as well as tools in photoshop and how to adjust the camera to get the picture just right.
Looking back on the class I would say that my favorite thing was the photo assignements, I really enjoyed being creative with my pictures and being able to choose what I shoot. Some of my favorite in class assignments were the motion demo, pop art, multiple me, and the open tutorials assignment. During this class I am really glad that we were able to take a wide variety of pictures and were able to learn important editing tools in photoshop and camera raw that can be used later in life. During this class I took 7 photo assignments, each week I was able to choose what I shoot and over the 7 week span I improved my photography skills tremendously, below Are examples of my best and worst pictures.
