Digital Photography II has allowed me to become a better photographer in that it has helped me to develop critical skills and knowledge. I am now able to critique my own work, identify my mistakes, and I can now begin to develop a style. Style is something I was not even close to achieving at the beginning of the semester. Through the weekly assignments, I was forced out of my comfort zone. I learned about composition, color, and lighting. I also learned how to discern subject. There are times when certain subjects aren’t strong enough to make a good photograph. Before Digital Photography II, I did not have good judgement concerning what was a good subject, and what wasn’t. Having a better understanding now makes photography decisions easier for me. It saves time, and allows me to concentrate on areas where a good photo exists.
When I look back at my photography previous to this semester, I can easily see how I have improved. Knowing more about the key elements of photography has helped me immensely, and has given me the tools to continue the learning process. I’m very glad to have these tools, as photography is a large part of my life. It will continue to be. I believe that possessing good photography skills is a lifelong gift, since photography is how we record the moments of our life, and the moments of those around us.
