When i first started this course, i did not have any knowledge of photography although i have always loved it as a hobby.

I started learning about point of view, the meaning on how this is important. I found this very interesting as there are so many points of view, such as: birdseye, childsview etc.
This really did help as it made me think more when taking a photograph, it made me focus more on what i wanted my photograph to look like. I learned that people will only see what you want them to see on your photographs.

When I was in lesson learning this, I found it really tricky at first, not so much the leading lines when looking at an image as I did understand what leading lines meant as it was very clear to see.  Rules of thirds was trickier as sometimes it could get a bit confusing, but the more we kept talking about it and the more we kept looking at paintings and images the more I got it. I'm really comfortable about this now.

When learning about this camera it was really tricky at first, i found it very interesting how it worked, when learning about it for the first time it can be very confusing, and maybe I found it a little hard to imagine, but then we built a camera obscura in the room, as a whole class we covered the whole room with large black bin liner all over the walls.. once we did that, we then cut a hole where we thought the light would come in and there it was! The light was projecting into the wall upside down! Amazing!.
I really found this so interesting. And by practically experiencing it, I found that it really helped.
It is very valuable to know the history about the first camera and how photography became relevant and part of our everyday life.

The theories of composition was good to learn, at first was hard to describe and explain what they meant and how to detect it if looking at an image. But it was quite simple and straight forward once you knew and kept using these terms on your work and talking about it. Having this knowlege has really helped me to learn how to describe images.

When I went to the Gregory Crewdson Gallery I found it very interesting. It was the first time I had to look at images and use all the terms such as formal elements and rule of thirds on these images. I found it very scary to having to analyse some of my chosen images and also about how I felt about the story of the image and its story. I feel like I did my best when trying to describe the image although it was my first time analysing images. Practice is the key to improve, I feel like if I keep practising hopefully I will improve by using better and bigger words, maybe explaining myself in greater detail.

Going to galleries has really helped me with my knowledge, has helped me progressed in my work. I am now able to describe an image from a photograpers point of view rather than just thinking is a beautiful image. Now i can extend on it.

Photograms/chemograms were so amazing to experience, loved every minute of it! Easy instructions to follow, I was absent for the first lesson and I was a little worried that I would not of understand but I feel confident that I do understand, if I had a chance to make more images I would really think harder about having a better composition to make a better image.

Pin hole photography was the best experience! I loved every minute of it! I think I really got the hang of this exercise. I would love to repeat this task again.

Mixing the chemicals inthe  darkroom, such as developer/stop/fix, I'm not the best at maths and at times it takes me a minute to figure out how much is needed. I have been trying to improve this throughout the course so far. I am much more confident about it, but I would like to have more opportunities to be able to mix it up more often, this way I can do it quicker each time.

Projection task was really fun! I learned how to print into a transparency paper, I really did not know u can use a normal printer to print it! Amazing! I loved how you can have different backgrounds/people in front of your projection and you get a different image all together. If I was to improve this task, I would love to be in a room with a clearer background and use people to pose with different poses on my image to give it a different effect.

Film processing, I learned about film processing, this is the last task I did, to be honest I missed a few days on this task, I feel like I was notvreally good on this task, even tho I understood the concept of it and all the steps to take to develop it, I feel my images did not come out clear, I did not feel confident using the manual camera with the film roll, I found it really hard to keep it in focus. I feel like I rushed it a little because I only had the one day to take my 24 images and print them out. I felt under pressure and did not feel I was focusing properly. This is totally my own fault as I was absent for a few days. If I was to improve this task, it would definitely take my time when taking the shots, this way I can start getting clearer images on a manual camera with the film roll.

This is a very important skill to have as this is the basic of photography. Sometimes is better to have a better knowledge on how to focus completly manually as i feel this would make me a better photograper. It a bonus to have this knowledge and know how to use it. Sometimes the best images are the simple ones.

My camera skills are okay, considering I knew nothing about how a camera works. I did not even know a camera could do what I have learnt to do!.
The exposure triangle can be a little tricky, to be honest I'm still trying to figure out the right aperture, shutter speed and ISO when taking any photographs. I'm very confident using the ISO on the camera. The aperture and shutter speed I'm okay, I keep trying my best, sometimes I get confused but I always refer back to my exposure triangle as this really helps to guide me. I love what shutter speed does! I really enjoy making my images motion blur is my favourite! To keep improving I will keep practicing taking images with different exposures/shutter speed/apertures.

This knowledge is very important because out of everything that i have learnt throughout this course, its clear to me that this is the main focus in photography because without this knowledge,  i would not be able to take the best photographic image. This is valuable, therefore  im going to keep on practicing until i do not ge confused anymore. By learning this skill it has given me the opportunity to have the knowledge to control aperture/ ISO  and shutter speed.
Shutter speed has given me the knoldege to take motion blur and camera shake images, which i absolutely love! .

Photoshop/ illustrator
I find this very tricky to use. I have not used it much but I can definitely keep on practicing, would love to have more lessons on it, this way I could learn more and be more confident. I think my plan is to watch YouTube videos to help me improve, and allow me to become more confident.

This knowledge is very valuable because these programs allows to give an image a effect and change it to what your vision is. These programms would allow me to make leaflets/posters/flyers etc. I really need this knowledge and skill as i would want to play around with my images.

I feel that I can analyse images well, although I know I can use more of a variety of words to explain what I'm trying to say about the images that I am analysing. As English is my second language maybe I can improve by researching or looking at the dictionary to improve my writing skills.

I have been learning about Photoshop quite a bit this term. I would like to be able to improve on it as it is  a lot of information on different tools. In order to help me improve I have uploaded Photoshop on my own computer to keep practicing.
I would also would like to improve my time keeping with my work, as I tend to leave it for last minute. In order to do this I am going to spend an hour in the evening on my own time finishing my tasks, this way it wont be kept for last minute. I think I can achieve this by May 2018
