My experience in photography was amazing, I met new friends who I won't mention, I met my favorite teacher I've known who taught me so much about photography and from her help I've improved so much. I have learned balance, field of view and other rules for photography.
I've learned how to make a print in the darkroom ad how to shoot with film. I also learned how to use all the equipment in the darkroom and all the chemicals and how to treat everything. I learned how to develop film from not rolling the film correctly, to seeing the film not come out because it was underexposed or overexposed, it takes time but you get good at it.
My favorite thing I learned is how to use photoshop, even though I bothered my teacher many of times from self portraits to kaleidoscopes on how to do stuff I feel like I have come a long way especially in mastering photoshop (with no help).
In all, I thought Photography was going to be a breeze but it taught me that not everything is easy and you have to work for everything you get and I'm very grateful to experience it with a wonderful group of people.
