Semester FInal

1) Overall just practice. Plain and simple practice. This class has you shoot lots and lots of assignments and all those assignments are outside of school and doing all those shoots make you a better photographer. I've learned so much from just going out in the world and taking lots and lots of photos, it helps me to learn through hands on experience. I think just making us take so many photos has definatley made me a better photographer because it allows me to constantly practice and hone in on my skills. Before this class i didn't take as much photos as i do now, its made a deference. Also learning RAW was cool makes portraits pop better I think. Peoples eyes look more big and realistic, so i liked learning RAW as well.

2) I think we spent a good amount of time on everything, there isn't one thing where i was like we needed more time to learn about it. I think overall everything had a good pace. I wish I individually spent more time on architecture because I didn't give myself enough time to finish and I thought shooting architecture was fun but that was my bad.

3) Id like to go over the spot remover and eye thing more maybe because I'm not like a pro at lightoom editing with the advanced stuff. I can just do like the baits of lighting up and adding warmth and blacks basically.

4) I think the work load is very acceptable! It was defiantly kind've scary and challenging to shoot a lot but it defiantly made me a better photographer in the process. Shooting as much as we did just made us better by practicing as often as we did and got us used to assignments photographers will have out in the real world which I like a lot. I liked the constant shooting and learning of new techniques thats why we signed up.

4a) Sometimes I struggled to keep up with assignments but only a few times Id like to think. It was just my fault though for not planning out better. Its better to be busy then not busy I think it was just my fault for when I fell behind sometimes.

5) Urban Landscape! It was badass. I liked going out into the city at night and shooting the lights. It was exciting and super fun. The city is a great thing to shoot and I love shooting things at night anyhow so it made me really happy. I also really enjoyed how my urban photos turned out because it was awesome to use a tripod and a super long Shutter.

6) Architecture because it required so many different locations. Lots of moving to different spots and such.

7)  Im excited for a lot of those! Im excited to talk to the girl in film school because thats what i want to do, also steel wool and tilt shift will be sweet photos. Also will be fun to shoot with film it'll be a good thing to learn and know how to do.

8) Late Night photography/ Portraits I don't know if thats a topic but I like shooting people and things at night and using flashes and stuff like that to make it look cool and amateur almost but in a good way. I don't really know but it looks cool and could be a cool assignment like people and things at night. It could be called Night Life photography and could be pretty open to the photographer and give lots of room for interpretation and messing around. Would be cool.

9) I want to make movies but movies that have very good cinematography so I like learning about techniques and practicing for that. Just learning about the camera and how to have a good eye for certain things. I love taking photos but my favorite thing of all time is making movies so id rather go to film school then photography school.

10) Yes! I was just thinking about this. I think you should talk about like what you bring when you go out and shoot like whats in your bag and what equipment you bring depending on the different shoots, it could be fun and helpful to learn about.

11)

12) Just stay doing what you doing. I wouldn't really change anything.
