About MeComing into this class I did not know much about photography at all. I learned many different things such as what ISO and Aperture mean. I feel like I got a lot out of this class and grew as a photographer. I learned many useful things to take into the real world. As the school year comes to a close, I reflect on all that I have done this year. I came in knowing very little about digital photography. I feel like I have learned a lot more. My best and worst photos of the year can be displayed here to show my growth throughout the trimester. I have improved in may ways. In my first picture you can see there is not a good main subject and my second one there is a clear main subject and you can see how I focused on the raindrop to capture a great photo. My photoshop skills have improved a lot as well. When I came into class I knew nothing about photoshop. My first photoshop assignment I needed to look at every tutorial that we were given, as the trimester progressed, I was able to do things without having to look at tutorials. My skills as an all around photographer have progressed a lot and I thought that this was a very fun class that I would recommend to any student. Photoshop Best/worst
