I learned all the basics of how to use a camera: How to hold a camera, how to change the settings, what the settings do, and how to take a good photograph. I have improved as a photographer creatively by thinking outside the box and taking into consideration the small details that make something stand out than the rest. I have over come many challenges this semester, such as improving my balance of time management between getting work done while also having enough time to take high quality pictures. My favorite part about taking photography class is that I get to learn new things on how to take a good photograph, and in doing so it made me more and more interested in photography in general. In the future, even after this class, I plan to make photography one of my hobbies, I just need to save up enough money to purchase a decent enough camera. My favorite project that we did was the photo color grid. I will use the skills I've learned after the year is over into keeping my word and make photography a hobby. To someone who is just starting photography I'd probably tell them to take things slow, one step a time, and to just have fun. You don't need experience, and if you truly do want to commit to it, stay consistent.
