Semester is Over!

….and I got a 4.o in photography class! My particular instructor is known for being very picky in his grading too. In all I did very well with every photo I turned in through the whole semester but I didn’t do very well on the midterm and final. The photos are what got me the 4.0 though. I am still proud!

What did I learn this semester? I went from using AUTO to using full manual and shooting in RAW. I learned that less is more when it comes to trying to fix a photo. I was always the type to shoot and not use Photoshop. Not because I don’t know how but because I just like to try getting the shot near perfect in camera.

I also learned that I want to be a macro/closeup photographer of food and nature. I don’t like people and animals, they move. I very much love trying new ways to capture things. I like the abstract too. I like it when people are like, what is it?

I did flowers for my final project. I love the last one. I know a lot of you have been waiting a while to see them so here they are!
