Picture Assignment

Another Day

Learned a lot about photos this last week. Learned some more Photoshop and spent some good time messing around with it, lots of fun.
Once again, learned a lot about taking, or making, pictures. The whole rule of thirds thing, tight is right and things like that is stuff I will try not to forget. Didn't know a whole lot about taking and making pictures coming into this class so I think learning about it is really invaluable. There seems to be no doubt that it will be a skill I will need in the future. I am thankful to have the opportunity to learn from someone who is a professional photographer is really something special.

Pictures and Photoshop

     This week I learned a lot of new things. I had never really used Adobe's Photoshop before. Most of my friends not only know how to use Photoshop, but are rather proficient in it. It has always been something I had really wanted to learn. Unfortunately, I never really had the opportunity to learn it. Luckily, I got to learn not from one of my friends who uses it to screw around, but a professional photographer who uses it as part of his livelihood.
     I also had a good time taking a bunch of pictures for class. I took a walk downtown with some friends and snapped a bunch of pictures. Some were good and some were horrid. It was fun, however, to have an expensive camera and feel like a professional photographer. It made me wish I had my own camera so I could take it everywhere I go and capture all the amazing things I am able to see.
