Self Examination


                Throughout the semester I have learned so much more about photography than I ever did before. Before I started photography, I knew very little about taking pictures. I would just point and shoot whenever I saw something that looked cool. I didn’t know anything about f-stop or aperture. I had no idea what to look for when I took pictures, I would just take pictures of everything.  Photography is my favorite hobby and I very happy that I could be in photography class.
                My pictures have improves so much throughout the semester. I know how to set the f-stop and aperture. I learned how to take pictures from more artistic levels and to use Photoshop to make the pictures look more presentable. I learned many new techniques and terms that can help me get better with my photography.
                My strengths in photography are taking close up pictures and getting the detail. I have noticed I have got so much better with close up pictures. Although, my weaknesses are taking far away pictures. I haven’t really improved on this technique. But as a photographer I want to improve and carry out photography through my life. My goal in life is to be a famous photographer and travel the world with my best friend.

Photoshop

I really like this cutout because I like the colors of the leaf and the detail.

Famous Photographer




 These pictures were taken from downtown Wichita for the famous photographers project. I chose these pictures because I think they reflected Berenice Abbott's photography very well.

Academics



I chose these academic pictures because most of them aren't from the normal eye level view. They are at an artistic level.

Compostion







I chose these composition photos because the detail is very vivid. The colors are also very bright and they really make the pictures pop.

Scavenger Hunts







I chose these photos because they all looked very artistic to me. I thought they had great quality and good contrast.
