Final Blog

I think during this course that I have definitely become a better photographer and I really think that I have met my goals and maybe even gone above them because now when I think of taking pictures, I do not just hold down the camera button. I think about the weather outside, how it will or won't affect my shot. I think about different angles to take the shots at and I have more of an eye for things that would look unique to take pictures of. I definitely think I have gone above the goals I set for myself and I feel like I can do more now when it comes to taking pictures. I also like to use the different things that I learned in here to edit the pictures. I feel more confident on how the pictures will look and I like to edit them all now. Just like in this picture I took it at a view from above which I never did before this class and I edited the color to stand out and I used techniques to make the flowers look more soft and stand out from the greens. All of these techniques were not something I could do before and I like that I feel so good about always doing them now.

 Both of these shots were taken outside and I had to get the aperture at f/4.8 to be able to see the pictures clearly and the shutter speed had to be fast such as 1/250. It was hard to get all of the aspects perfect to get a good picture, it took many times, but it got easier as you got use to changing everything.
