During the semester, I definitely learned more about technology and the tools behind it. Not only did we learn about settings on our cameras and how to change lighting and shadows, but we also learned many strategies for taking pictures. For example, perspective, lighting, and shadows. I also learned a lot about how to edit my pictures, especially with the lighting, like brightening them without making them look saturated and yellow. I also learned the basic photoshop tools which will now help me a lot with editing.
I'm inspired to take photographs when I'm around nature because I see a lot of beauty in my surroundings when I'm outside. I enjoy taking photos in nature because there's such a wide variety of things to photograph.
I took photography because I wanted to learn more about the technology/tools behind it. I've always enjoyed taking photos, but never took the time to learn tools about my camera. I also hope I'll learn about photoshop tools so I can enhance my pictures. I'm interested in learning how to control different aspects of photography, like lighting and shadows.
