Clipping mask frameGallery framegaussian Blur FrameSprayed strokes frameI learned how to do so many new frames and I am excited to use them for the rest of this class! I think the hardest frame was the Gallery frame because there were a lot of steps, so I am going to have to practice that one.

Before Editing After Editing Aperture: 3.3 Shutter Speed: 1/30 ISO: 200 I think this shoot went pretty well because I am happy with my pictures. Some of them were blurry or out of focus, but I wasn't using that great of a camera so it makes sense.

I learned a lot in this project because it was applying harder concepts and not just composition techniques like "The Rule of Thirds". My favorite part was being able to go outside and shoot, but it was also hard because it was windy and not very bright outside when I was shooting.

In Photo 1 I learned a lot about camera techniques and composition and now in Photo 2 I hope to get even more skilled at photography. I love taking nature photos, so this tri I hope to go more outside of my comfort zone and to start taking pictures of other things. Here are some examples of my best work from Photo 1: Here are some examples of my worst work from Photo 1:

When we walked in on the first day I barely knew what the aperture was, and only knew about shutter speed because of dance pictures. In the photos I considered to be "good" at the beginning of this class, I used auto mode on the camera, never thought about composition elements, and most of the time they were blurry. Now I am proud to say that I can shoot in full manual mode, and put a lot of thought into the composition of my pictures today. Example: Worst Photo vs. Best Photo In the photo on the left, there is no subject, the image is not straight, the lighting is off, and it it just plain boring. But, on the image to the right, the plant is the focus, there is a depth of field because of the aperture settings, the image is clear while the wind is blowing because of the shutter speed, and adjustments were made in Photoshop to further enhance the image. Another thing I have learned is that even though I might consider an image to be "bad," there are still some redeeming qualities of most photos I have taken in this class. For Example: this photo of the vegetable on the right is blurry, but the lighting created some very cool shadows and highlights on the vegetable. While I was shooting these photos, I noticed the great lighting and was also able to capture the photo of the peppers, on the right. This photo ended up being one of my best from the entire class. Also in this class, I have learned that changing the perspective of an image can make quite the difference. For example: the photo on the left is just a brick sidewalk that I shot from above. There is no depth to the image and it is not interesting. However, the image on the right is a brick wall that was shot on an angle. I believe this perspective makes the photo way more interesting than the one on the left. Overall, both my ability to be a good photographer and my ability to produce great photos has increased dramatically since the start of this class. I am very grateful for everything I've learned and will definitely continue to take photos in the future!
