This semester I learned what phones can really do and how a camera’s quality all depends on how you use and experience it. In the beginning I thought photography was all about following the rules and zooming in the perfect amount, but it’s really about making the photos your own with creativity and unique abilities. I used to take photos in the same place at a straight angle but now I like to explore different angles to change the way my photos are perceived. My favorite project was “Getting Up Close.” This project taught me that phones can do a lot more than I thought, such as zooming in and still keeping the photo clear if you use the right techniques. I have thought about multiple times about becoming a photographer because I love being creative and exploring new styles. Photography is a great way to capture memories and look back at great times, and also times of tragedies. Overall, photography has been a great interest of mine for a long time and I’m happy I was able to experience this.

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.

This semester was a lot of fun and I had a fun time taking pictures. My thoughts have changed a lot about photography as the semester moved on. I have changed the way I take photos now from editing on photo shop to learning about F-stop and shutter speed. to make my photos look better. Getting close was my favorite project because the photos I took turned out great. Although I won’t pursue a career in photography, I will definitely consider taking it in High School because it was one of my favorite classes at LPMS.

This semester I have done many projects, including light graffiti, macro pictures, and taking photos of objects in motion. I have also learned a lot, more than I would have on my own. I learned how to use three of the manual settings in a camera, ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. I have also learned that if you put a camera on a tripod in a pitch black room and turn up the shutter speed to as long as possible, you can draw in the air with light. Before this class I wasn’t very interested in photography, but this class has really changed my mind. I plan on taking more photography classes in high school. I used to take photos very carelessly, and I didn’t understand how to take good photos, but now I am able to take very good pictures, much better than before. My favorite project was the light graffiti project, which I enjoyed a lot because of how much fun it was to draw with light as my paintbrush and the air as my canvas.

Photography was very fun. For the whole semester, we had very interesting projects. I’ve always loved photography so my opinions on it never changed. I don’t have a favorite project because I loved them all equally. I would really like to continue taking photography in high school. I really enjoy photography. Here is my favorite photo from this last project.

This semester was very fun. I got a lot better at taking pictures and getting ideas for pictures. I wish I could have photography all year. Also, some of my thoughts on photography has changed. I’ve realized how you can take really cool photos on you’re phone when before i thought you mostly had to use a professional camera. Now when I take photos, most of the time I use Rule of Thirds and the grid. My favorite project was probably Up Close when we did macro photography. I think the really close and focused photos are so cool and there is so many possibilities for photos. I really want to take photography next year in high school. I want to take it next year because I really enjoy photography, and I like having projects for photography because it gives me ideas.
