The first day I walked into this class I thought it was going go be really easy and require a low amount of effort. However through the next two weeks I realized that this class was going to require a lot of effort and a lot of paying attention and taking notes. When I first started taking photos I didn't really understand that there were elements of composition that went into taking photos. This was my what I submitted for composition project and as you can tell it doesn't look that good. How ever throughout the composition assignment I improved my photo taking skills as you can tell from this photo. Through out this class I gained my things such as photoshop skills and learning how to make a blog but the most important thing I gained from this class is a new view of the world. What I mean by that is when I am outside of just looking at things I look at these things as if i am taking a photo. I think about how it would look best, how the lighting could or how I could change he composition of the focal points. An example of this is the other day I was turning off the lights in my room and my little Christmas tree was on and it casted a really good looking shadow on my wall and the first thing I thought of was how good a photo of this would look. These are some of the first photos I took in the class. As you can tell these photos aren't that good. However I improved a lot throughout out the trimester. Here are some of my best photos. From these two sets of pictures you can see that my photo skills have improved a lot and I have really learned throughout this class. In conclusion I would recommend this class to anyone in the high school because it really improves you photo taking skills and it will really change you view of the world.

This week I shot for macro. What I did for it was look up macro photos and then I went to my grandmas house on Saturday and Sunday ad took photos of things in her office and overall they turned out pretty good. However it was hard to get a picture without blur because I wasn't using a tripod. What I learned from shooting for macro is that it is hard to get a clear photo when not using a level and nonmoving base for your camera. This photos brightness and darkness has been changed.
For this project we had to photoshop a picture so it appeared that there were 4 of ourselves in a photo. What I did was take a base photo with nothing in it and then I took 4 different photos with myself in a different position in each one. Then I edited the layers and merged them together to make my self be in one picture four times. Finally I edited the photo to black and white to make it look clean.
This week I asked Mr. Bush if I could do panoramic as my topic because panoramic is not an option of the topic list. He said yes but he said that I have to put myself in the panoramic so I agreed and began to think of ideas on where to shoot. What I thought of is that both my grandma and my Aunt have fields behind their houses. On Sunday I went out and took pictures at both of their house and the photos turned out pretty good. What I learned from this was how hard and how tedious it is to shoot long panoramic photos with yourself in the picture. This photos contrast, levels and brightness/darkness was adjusted |
