FINAL PROJECT!!!

Overall I think this semester of photography has been totally amazing. As a matter of fact this has been my favorite class, ever! It even beats gym which has been the reigning champ for the last 8 years! My thoughts have changed about photography. At first I thought photographers were creepy people, in bushes, taking photos. Now I realize that photographers are like artists that use the world as their canvas. I have definitely changed the way I take photos. I used to just click without thinking, but now I actually pay attention to what i’m doing. My favorite project was the smile , because I like talking to people while I take pictures of them. I’m not sure if photography interests me as a career, but definitely a hobby. I would love to continue photography in high school. That’s my favorite picture up there!!!

Pro’s vs. Joe’s

Over the entire semester, I have learned many tips on how to take proper photos. Photography class was a very entertaining, yet hard-working class. My thoughts on photography have completely changed. I now view photography as a very intricate topic with many different viewpoints. I have also changed the way I take pictures. Using all the techniques we have learned, I now usually used Rule of Thirds and different angles in my pictures. My favorite project was light graffiti because it was very interesting to see how the pictures turned out after we drew them in the dark. The light graffiti still amazes me. Photography is a very interesting career, but I don’t believe I will become a photographer when I grow up. I may continue to take photography into high school, unless there are other options that interest me more (since I already took photography this year). It has been a pleasure being in this class for the first semester. My favorite photo is shown below.

Final Project!

This semester during Photography was a really fun experience. I learned that you can take pictures using different angles and I know what many settings on cameras are for now. Photography gave me time to think about what and who I really value in my life during the 7 days project. It taught me that people look different when they smile vs. when they don’t smile during the smile project. And I also learned that you can set up a set inside a place and it is unexpected when the person realizes it is fake. I had a lot of fun with my friends and pictures during photography. I still enjoy photography and want to continue learning about taking pictures when I go to High School. Now when I take pictures I use different techniques and I have to have good lighting because it makes my pictures come out better. The pictures I took before and after photography have a big difference and I’m happy I learned how to take better pictures. My favorite project was Black background because it thought me how to get the lighting in a picture right and how the lighting could affect a picture. Photography does not interest me as a career but I will continue to learn it in high school because it is fun to learn and helps me take better pictures. Down below is my favorite photo in photography because to me it is just so beautiful. This will be my last post and I will miss this class very much but I am looking forward to having it in high school next year!

Final Project

This whole semester was a huge learning experience and a time to really learn about photography. Throughout the whole semester, I learned and a ton of new skills that I am excited to apply to my everyday life. My view on photography has definitely changed, it showed how much harder it is, that there are different skills and you need more than a camera to take the photo. I take photos a whole new way, I take an account the setting, the way I am holding the camera and many more. I think that I take much better photos now than I did before I was in photography. My favorite project was the 7-day project because I got to take pictures of photos that I could use and cherish forever and that it was also an easy project since I knew what I wanted to take the pictures of. Photography definitely interests me because I get to keep my memories with me in photo form, and I would love to do that a career and help other people cherish memories. I think that I will continue learning photography in high school because I have a real interest in photography and I think I can also really become great photography. Therefore over the course of the 18 weeks, I learned a ton about photography and that I will really miss this class, but I won’t stop taking photos and growing as photography.

Last Project

Throughout this whole semester, we worked on taking pictures with different angles and how to edit pictures a certain way. We also made our own logo to put on our pictures that we took. At first I thought photography was just taking a picture and you’re done, but it’s definitely more then just taking the picture itself. Thought has to go into the picture and then after you have to edit the picture, and after you’re finished with all that you have to put your logo on it, so my opinion on photography has definitely changed this semester. I have changed the way I take pictures, now I use the rule of thirds a lot when I take pictures which helps a lot in the end. My favorite project was probably this one because it pretty much combined all our projects together which I think is really cool. If I’m being honest, after this class, photography does interest me as a career because it seems so interesting to me and there’s so many things you could take pictures of and so many ways to take those pictures which I love and I could see also becoming a hobby. I don’t know for sure yet if I want to continue learning this in high school but I probably will based off of my experience in this class. My favorite picture is of is of the hallway I took because Ella looks like she’s lost.

Up Close

For this assignment we had to take close up pictures of a variety of things. The pictures came out good when the camera was on super macro mode. Something I tried was putting the phone camera on portrait mode. The hard part of this project was trying to get super close to the different objects. Finding things to take pictures of was relatively easy. The only issue with the camera was trying to get it to stay on macro mode. If I had the ability to, I would like to take an up close picture of a single snowflake falling to the ground. You can see the rest of my photos Here.
