final evaluation post

     Looking back on this trimester and this class I feel like I've grown dramatically. The quality in my photos have improved, the way I set up my pictures have improved and the way I edit my pictures. I learned how to use photoshop, before this class I would have never been able to use photoshop to make my pictures even more appealing to the viewers. I've also learned so so much about cameras and how to set them up to be able to take great photos.
     I feel like this class has really helped me grow as a photographer, and an editor. I remember at first I really didn't like this class because there were a lot of notes and to be honest I thought this blog was a dumb idea. But in the end I've realized that its helped me reflect on the photos I took this trimester. And now that I understand how to use photoshop I don't hate photoshop assignment, they're actually somewhat enjoyable.
      Personally I plan to continue photography, not as a career but as a hobby. I enjoy capturing images and having those memories to look back on. To reflect on my life and the changes that have happened over the years. I want to continue learning about how I can become a great photographer and improve to quality of my pictures. I've put together a small slide show of some pictures I've taken throughout the trimester and added it below. I've also put some of my pictures in this post. The good and the not so good ones.

panoramic photoshop assignment


During this weeks assignment we took several pictures and used photo merge to get them to turn out to be panoramic. We used tripods to make sure we didn't shake so that the pictures would merge together properly.

my best pictures:




This weeks assignment was difficult because you had to line up the pictures just right so that they would merge together in photoshop. Overall it was quite challenging but also really fun.
