For this final blog post I will be talking about my experience in this class and how I improved throughout this class in photoshop and picture taking. The first day we got out our cameras I definitely didn't know how to do anything with it other than simply point it at something and take the picture. The pictures I took the first day were pretty terrible and didn't have any sort of structure in or composition. This were two of the first two pictures I ever took with a real camera and they obviously are not that good, but this is where I started. As the year went on and we took more notes and started to learn a little about how to actually take a photo, my pictures progressively got better the more I tried. I think during the photo composition assignment is when I really started to learn how to take a good photo with good features like, rule of thirds and depth of field. My pictures started to come together better and I could just see better what was a good picture and what wasn't. These were some of my best pictures out of the composition assignment and they are already much better, in my opinion, than my first pictures. Then eventually as the year went on and we started doing real photo assignments every, week I think my pictures took another step up because I started leaning how to use aperture and shutter speed to get a better picture. I think the weekly photo assignments are where my best pictures came from and I think this is where my photos started to actually be some what good. I think these were my best pictures from the entire class and I really think I came a long way from what my first pictures were when I took out the camera for the first time. Not only do I think I came a long way with my pictures, I think I came a long way in photoshop and how to navigate it. Coming into this class I had a little experience with photoshop just from random stuff I used to do on my computer but I defiantly didn't know as much as I do now. I got better with a lot of different things in photoshop like, the clone stamp tool and the different kinds of selectors and how to use my layers correctly. The cars were one of my first photoshop assignments and I think it was alright but I think it is a little sloppy on certain areas. The lightbulb was one of my last photoshop assignments and I think it was definitely my best. I really think the lightbulb one turned out really well and shows how far I came in photoshop throughout this class. Overall I liked this class a lot and think I learned a lot of useful things that I am going to be able to use in my real life when it comes to photography. I think I made a good change in how I take pictures from where I began and I think my photoshop skills have also improved as well.
