Falcon Photo

In this semester of photography I learned a lot about taking high quality photos. I used to not care about the lighting or angle of the shot.  My thoughts have changed a lot about photography. My thoughts have changed because I think taking photos requires a lot more skill than I used to give it credit for. I have changed the way I take photos now. I try to apply techniques I have learned from this class. Like when I take photos I try to use rule of thirds to focus on the subject.  My favorite project this year was the rule of thirds. I liked that project because it is a skill I can apply to my daily life when taking photos. I wouldn’t like to be a photographer as a career. I wouldn’t like it because you have to take some photos that are hard to look at. Like the Pulitzer prize photo with the vulture and the little girl. I might take it my sophomore year in high school. I might take it because it’s a fun class where I can apply the skills to my everyday life.

This semester, I learned a lot about photography. I am glad that I chose this class as one of my arts rotation options because I had a good time. I learned about different types of photos, ex: rule of thirds, action photos, close up, and more. I liked learning about new types of photos because I can use them in the real world. At first, I thought photography was stupid and boring but it has taught me that is not stupid and boring. I have had several opportunities to take photos outside of class and my photos have turned out good and almost professional-like. My favorite project was the light graffiti because I could use different objects and create art in a photo. Also, it was easier than I thought and fun to make. Photography doesn’t really interest me for a career but I hope to take photos for fun sometimes. In high school, I might take photography for fun but I don’t think that is what I want to do with my life. My favorite photo from this semester would be this one below and the rest of my pictures are in the google slides link below.

Throughout the whole semester I grew as a photographer learning new techniques and ways to take different kinds of pictures. In the beginning I likes photography and thought it was easy and I still like it but its kind of annoying because my pictures suck. I have changed the way I take photos like I make sure I take some pictures with the rule of thirds. My favorite project was the action photos because it was funny to take. No i will not continue learning photography because my pictures suck.

This whole semester, I’ve learned a lot about photography. We reviewed lighting, rule of thirds, composition, color, etc. My thoughts haven’t changed on photography, I’ve always liked it, and that’s why I chose to take this class. I’ve started to take photos with more of a creative touch and use the rule of thirds to frame the photo. When I grow up, I want to be a graphic designer, and photography is definitely part of that, so in a way photography will be my career.

This whole semester has been very interesting. I have been able to grow as a photographer and enjoyed taking photos I never knew I could take. Overall this semester was very exciting and fun to take photos to make them look more artsy.  My thoughts have changed about photography. In the beginning of this class I kind of thought this would be easy and simple and anyone can take these pictures. Though I was wrong photographers take lots of time setting up the subject and getting good lighting and angles. My thoughts on photography  now more amazed and realize all the effort that goes into taking one single picture. I have changed the way I take photos. Instead of taking a photo with just one snap. I try to add the rule of thirds or get angles where you can see things from a different perceptive.  My favorite project was the Smile. I liked seeing the difference that you could see in a person with one quick expression change.  Photography interest me s a career. I think it would be a cool side job to make money but also to do photograph’s for people. I would like to continue learning photography in high school because then I would be able to continue to grow my knowledge of taking pictures.

This semester I have grown a lot. From the first picture I took of a crayon, to the most recent picture of things I am thankful for, I have grown a lot as a photographer. I learned that photography is harder than it looks, and it takes patience and time to get a good picture. I used to take photos casually, but now I think about the lighting and other things like that. My favorite project was “up close” because I took really good pictures, and it was fun. I find photography very interesting and I would enjoy it as a hobby, but I don’t think it is the right career for me.
