these were 5 photos from the semester that i felt were my best. Each photo showed something that i had learned and improved on. the first photo showed an understanding of rule of thirds that was used to bring an aspect of geometric shapes into an organic photo. my second photo showed how i learned to take photos that emulate other photographers. it also allowed me to take a darker and dustier looking photo that didn't emphasize anything specifically. for the third i learned a lot about editing photos in light room. it let me experiment and create an image that appears alien through only changing the colours and light. my 4th photo showed an understanding of masking in Photoshop. i created a mask that included everything but the nail, and i applied a sepia tone to the mask. the last photo showed an understanding of colour as well as emphasis on a portion of the photo.
overall i feel that the thing I have improved on most this semester is both editing as well as shooting the photo. I became more comfortable this semester with editing photos. at the start of the year i was reluctant to edit photos since i wanted them to appear natural and like they might have been shot as they appeared. though I still prioritize this, i have become a lot more comfortable in the editing phase to simply just mess around. i have also learned to appreciate more vibrant and upbeat photos. before i had mostly only taken photos that were dark and brooding, but after this class i had learned to appreciate colours which i would have edited out before.
