This trimester I took the class Digital Photography 1. I took this class because I wanted to get better at taking and editing pictures. I like to take pictures and I took Multimedia in 8th grade but I've never really edited anything before so that was a skill that I learned. I enjoy taking pictures because I like to show the world from my perspective. Everyone sees things differently so I think its goo to show and express your own perspective which you can do through taking pictures. At the beginning of the year I was okay at taking pictures. I wasn't super great but I wasn't awful. Here's some pictures I took at the beginning of the year. I think as the year went on I got better at taking pictures and I enjoyed it more too since it became easier. I also used the techniques I learned more and used more of them and not just tule of thirds every time. This year I also learned how to use a camera in manual be Here's some pictures I took at the end of the year. In this class I also learned how to use photoshop.I've never used photoshop before in my entire life until this class. Photoshop was actually really fun to use and I learned how to use a lot of new tools. Here are some assignments that use tools that I could never use before but now I can. I think this class has really helped me with the before and after of taking a picture and I learned that there's much more to taking a picture than just pushing a button and that there's also a whole differently process after taking the picture as well as a whole process before. This class definitely changed my perspective on taking pictures.
