Final ReflectionWe started this class by learning the basic composition rules. I really liked this because it gave rules to the photos that you could decide to follow if you wanted. To learn the composition rules we had to go around the school and find pictures that fit the rules. I struggled a little with finding a few of the rules but found them in the end. through this assignment I was able to learn what looks good and how to make my photos. Looking back, these photos were not great. I went to Chicago and decided to take pictures of architecture while there. This assignment turned out more difficult than I had originally thought and many of the images turned out blurry. This taught me to always check my photos before leaving the place I am taking pictures at. The best photo from this shoot is this photo. I learned a lot about myself through this class and was able to learn to be more creative in the photos I was taking. My favorite thing to photograph turned out to be people. I really enjoyed the connection I was able to make with the people as I attempted to get a good shot of them smiling as I made jokes to make them laugh. Here are a few of my favorites. The worst photo assignment that I did was the light painting assignment. This assignment requires multiple people that will listen to you. I only had my parents and it was a bit of a struggle. The photos did not turn out great and they were not as creative as I wanted them to be. I learned a lot about how photoshop works. This class was the first opportunity I had to use Photoshop so I was excited about what I would be able to make. In the beginning of the class we had to photoshop a car to match a sample. We only used the simple tools in this assignment but I struggled a lot. I was able to fight through the urge to quit while using the clone stamp tool. Later in the trimester, we had to do "multiple me" photos where the same subject appears in the picture multiple times. This assignment used layer masks and was a lot of fun to do. Over the trimester, I was able to become more comfortable with the program. I had a lot of fun in this class and learned a lot. I will miss not having this class in the future.
