When I started taking this class, I was not sure if my skills would improve very much. I have taken photography classes before and knew for the most part how to operate a camera in manual mode. However, this class reminded me of dozens of composition techniques that I had long since forgotten, and cleaned up my skills working in manual. Above is an example of how my photography has improved. The first photo was on the first day of class, and it is clear that I was not very sure how to properly set up the photo. In the second photo, I am using manual mode to highlight the subject, and I set the photo up in a way that makes it pleasing to the eye and removes distractions. I used to think that the plant pictured was a little boring and wouldn't make a good photo--there was no color variety! But after this class I have been able to take this plain plant and turn it into a quality photo.

For this assignment we photoshopped pictures to create a pun. We also chose two words and made a picture to define them. This assignment gave me lots of practice working with different layers on photoshop. It was a very unique assignment because we got to use a lot of creativity as we made them. It posed a challenge because I had to work hard to make sure my ideas were shown clearly. Answers to puns: emotional baggage, the keys to happiness, just in case
For this assignment, I decided to take pictures of plants at the school and at my house. I focused on making the subject stand out from the rest of the photo and getting the correct exposure. Shutter Speed -1/1600 Aperture - f4.5 ISO - 100 This assignment gave me more practice working in full manual mode. It posed a little bit of a challenge because at first it was really bright outside but I did not want to close the aperture. A little later, it was difficult because it was very windy outside.
