I took digital photography originally because I needed a tech credit, but also because I thought it would be really easy and kind of a blow off class. I was wrong, because this class was actually a lot harder than I would have expected. It turns out that there's so much more to photography than I thought possible. There's so many settings, set ups and things you have to do to take what would be considered a good picture. It takes multiple shots and it takes time and patience. I learned a ton of different ways to take pictures, filters, settings, such as ISO, Shutter, and Aperture. I also learned where to place the subject in certain images, such as portrait or rule of thirds, framing and etc. I would go on about all of the different ways to take a picture, but that would take hours. Overall this class was very informative in terms of all the different types of cameras, lenses, structures, and so on. I learned a lot about Photoshop and it was very fun, in fact if it didn't cost money, I would download Photoshop for sure. It is a very useful tool to enhance any photo. There's a lot of things that I can take away from this class, though it wasn't what I expected, it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the atmosphere right away, though i wasn't really comfortable to begin with because I didn't know what to expect, but it got better. When i create things, I always have a problem with being self conscious of it and i'm always afraid of being judged, or not liking what I do, but I have kind of found my way around that in this class. Overall, I've had some good photo assignments and others not as well, but everyone has those not as good days, and I feel like I have grown a lot over this trimester and i'm sad to see it come to an end. Though I am not taking digital photography again, I do have regular photography next trimester. I hope its just as fun as this class was. My Growth Over the Trimester:

Composition Assignment
Assignment Description:This is our first assignment for Digital photography. The assignment was to take a picture of an example of each type of composition, such as Color, framing, perspective, spacing, symmetry, etc... This assignment was kind of difficult for me because I am not the best at taking pictures and it was kind of harder for me to find a good example of each. These are some of the better of the pictures I took.
What I learned:I deffinently learned a lot from this assignemnt because going into it, I never really knew anything about how to take better pictures and make them look more appealing, I used to always just take pictures at random and never payed much attention to how or where in the picture. I also realized that it's a whole lot harder to take a picture then I thought, I had to take some picture multiple times before I feel comfortable with the picture, although that might only be because I'm getting graded for them. I definently had a hard time with balance because I was realling confused about it at first and didn't really know how to find a picture to take for that. I'm glad that I got to learn more about how to place things in photos to make them seem more appealing and interesting and to stand out more. I can't wait for more projects to come this trimester!
