Final project post

This year photo 1 has been really fun I have learn so many things that i did not know at the very beginning of the semester like how to control the amount of light that comes out of my camera so that my pictures turn out to look really good.Another thing that I also learn that I did not know at the beginning of the semester was that I do not need to have my camera on  flash mode the entire time to have good pictures i can set it up to another mode without using flash and my pictures would still look good like Macro,but it only works when you take pictures from really close.During the school year we also did a lot of projects and i think the ones that I really like were the best projects that I did; like the clone project and the levitation.I like the clone project because it made me look like there were multiples of myself around tualatin high school in the same picture and position,so it didn't made the pictures look blurry at all.I like the levitation project that I did at my house because I made it look like the objects around my house like my basketball and the umbrella were floating in the air and that was awesome.I also like the three photoshop pictures that I did for my final project because one of them was a clone picture were I clone a doll and made it look like it was surrounding me,so that look really cool yet creepy at the same time.The second photoshop picture that i did was me levitating in the air with a tree behind me that had pink leafs,the third picture  was just me at the columbia river and I also use a lot of photoshop affects.My favorite types of photography skills were the silhouettes because you had to use the sun in order to get the dark affect on your camera.I also like using the macro tool in my camera because you could take close up pictures of things and get a bunch of details from that one picture.My favorite process was the cyan affect on photoshop because I could give my photos this bluish light color affect which made it look neat.What I learn about myself in this class is that It's ok to have a weird personality because that makes you look unique and I also learn that its ok to be weird with the photos that you take;I learn all of this from my amazing photo teacher because he a weird guy that i really nice to his students and that makes him awesome.My biggest challenge this semester was to keep up with the photos that we took for each project because it was a ton of pictures and i had to clean up my camera's memory otherwise it got all funky.Another big challenge that I had was getting use to photoshop because It has so many cool affects and each time we use photoshop affects on our project pictures,I had to ask my friends that were sitting close to me for help otherwise I got really lost and didn't know what to do.
