So far in this class, I have learned various techniques and guidelines for taking good images. We have learned the rules and composition to taking images (rule of thirds, don't center), and learned to operate our cameras (f-stop, etc) in different shapes and forms.
Using composition in photography is one of the biggest parts of the art form overall; if you have no composition or guidelines, you have no taste, no stability. The rule of composition I use most is the rule of thirds.
My favorite assignment we did is the first assignment. I felt we had the most freedom in that assignment overall and that was really fun to work with. I definitely have a theme, I always photograph nature in and out of focus it seems.
The most successful project this year was the 2nd photoshop tutorial, it led me to be able to edit my images however I wanted to. I've struggled with my camera settings a lot this semester but I'm definitely improving on my skills. I want to learn how to take star-lapses and time-lapses.
