Through this photo assignment I learned about lighting and how important it is to make sure your shutter and aperature are correct and different angles of photography. I also learned about the principles of design since I didn’t know all of them. I especially learned about unity, space, and balance. In the future I will use this knowledge to enhance my pictures.

This Blog has been created through my Digital Photography II class. I will use this blog to post photo assignments and talk about the different kinds of photos I take. I chose to take this class because I really enjoy taking pictures and I feel that it is a great creative outlet. I don’t think I will go into photography as a profession but it will definitely continue to be a hobby of mine as I get older. Through taking this class I hope to learn more about photography and the elements of a good photo. I hope to improve my picture-taking skills and to become more creative with what I shoot. I’m really looking forward to seeing how I progress and grow as a photographer over the next twelve weeks.
