As the end of this trimester is getting closer, I would like to take some time to reflect on everything I have learned in this class. The first day I walked into this class I did not know what to expect. All I thought was that I would learn how to set up a camera with the correct settings to get a pretty picture. Which I did learn but I also learned that photography is a combination of your ability to use both your technological and artistic skills. Which I feel that through what Mr. Bush has taught me I have a grasp on that concept.
When I signed up for this class I thought that it would be a fun way to have a period where I could relax and take photos. For the first couple weeks that's what I did, I relaxed and took photos every now and then. What I noticed is that in photography the amount of time and effort you put into the shot is what you are going to get out of it. After the first and second week of class I noticed that I enjoyed taking photos and it is actually fun. I then started to invest time into using the composition ideas that we were taught in the beginning of the class. Slowly but surely my photos got better and eventually one of my photos was voted as one of the 10 best in the class. Looking back on this class, I don’t think I will become a professional photographer but the concepts and tools I have learned will help me take good photos later on in life.
