I've learned so much about photography over the time period of the class. I've noticed that I took pictures of things that I wouldn't typically find beautiful. I challenged myself by trying different angles and steering away from the typical kind of pictures. I noticed that my photo from my first project is very symmetrical and balanced, and with my third project I branched out to expiermenting with asymmetrical and unbalenced pictures. I feel like I can identify with the photogrpaher Robert Adams the most of the other photographers. I noticed while looking at his photos, he expiermented with angles, textures, and details. I also loved the fact that he took pictures of things that he disliked. I think it's really great to broaden your horizons with photogrpahy, because if you take pictures of the same things over and over again you don't grow as a photographer.
I'm gonna continue to take pictures in different ways, and expiermenting with different angles and textures. I learned so much about photoshop that I will continue to use it for editing pictures. This class really heped me and I will let my new knowledge of photography influence my creativity in the future.
I really agree with your comment of taking photographs of the same things over and over again. This is what had happened with me, a person gets in a rut and just gives up or never grows. A person can learn new ideas just by looking at someone elses work and get inspired to try new techniques. This class reminded me of several old techniques and taught me several new techniques.
ReplyDeleteWay to change it up a little and experiment! That is how we learn, learn, learn and break habits. Hope you enjoy your future photography.
ReplyDeleteway to be different! to learn is to explore and to explore is to learn. little circular reasoning on my part. but keep up the good work, hopefully i get to see more of your work!
