Reflection on this Class The first time I walked into Digital Photography I wasn’t sure what to expect. I did not have a lot of experience with cameras or photoshop so I thought I was going to do not the greatest in this class. When I was first told to get the cameras out and take pictures I was excited but nervous. I was afraid to take the camera because I thought I could accidentally drop it and break it. I was also nervous that I was not good at taking pictures so the next couple months would be difficult. The first time I opened up Photoshop I had no idea what I was doing. I was getting a bit frustrated because I couldn’t get it and other people could and I wasn’t able to fix my mistakes. When I look at today I view things completely different. If I was told now to do the first shooting assignment we did I would think its a piece of cake. Now, I have become pretty comfortable with Photoshop and if I do something wrong I can now detect what it is and fix it. After a couple weeks the photo assignments, it became easier. At first the list of the elements looked menacing because I didn’t know if I was creative to shoot something according to it. When I started getting the hang of taking pictures I became excited about all the options I had for the photo assignment. Overall I think I have progressed a lot over this trimester and have attainted a lot of information that has become very helpful. My Development of PicturesWorst Photo: Mediocore Photo: Best Photos:
