Most Proud Assignment


          I am most proud of my free choice photographs. Especially the one picture that I chose to frame. I mostly photographed plants and nature. There was one photo that stood out to me. It was a picture of a reddish, maroon leaf with raindrops coating it. The reason why I am most proud of this photo is because I like how it is close up and you can really see the outlines of the raindrops. You can also see the detail of the leaf and all of the lines that make it up. This impacted my learning by showing me how close and how far away the camera really has to be to get the right amount of detail. Or how to capture the real essence of it. I wanted to express the beauty of the different colors and the simplicity of raindrops. One thing that I noticed was that when the class passed around our contact sheets, this picture didn’t get many checks or stars. But I am still most proud of it. 

Most Memorable Experiences

           My most memorable experience from this semester is all of the fun times I had taking pictures with friends. Part of the first week we got to take pictures of whatever we wanted in the school. It let us get used to the different settings on our camera and taught us our own style. Another thing that I liked was looking at everyone else’s pictures in the end when we were done and pick one photo that the majority and yourself liked. I always liked how we could have a more broad theme or subject to photograph. It made me look at things differently.  This impacted my learning. It taught me that if you look at things close up, you can see many different details that you might not have seen before if you were looking further away. I also learned that there isn’t just one way to photograph. Or just one view of the subject. There are many different angles that you can take pictures from. That will also give you more varied pictures. You can capture so many things in one photograph.
