I liked this semester a lot and all the projects. My favorite was the Self Portrait project. I liked this project a lot because I got to have my friends take my photos and I take photos of them. I also got to do something I love in the photos which was really fun. This project definitely helped me become a better photographer. I got to use a camera I usually don’t and I got to experiment with other people and get feedback from someone else.

Out of all the projects I have done in photography, I liked the dream project the most. I liked the dream project because of the amount of freedom we got. We got a lot of creative freedom in the project and I really enjoyed it. I also think dream-like photos are more fun to shoot because they don't have to be realistic. I think the creative freedom and the way dream-like photos look made me enjoy this project. Dream-like projects are extremely fun to shoot because they can be of almost anything because of how strange dreams are.

I think the project I responded to most was self-portrait because it allowed me to find different ways to use myself as a subject. I think in some parts I really enjoy taking pictures of myself because I get to see sort of a reflection of myself. It also allows me to see/perceive myself how others would, which in some ways is trippy but also really interesting. The self portrait project also allowed me to use new technology for taking pictures like the remote and tripod which made other projects easier for me in the future. Overall the self portrait project was a turning point for me in photography because it showed me a way to photograph that I really enjoy.

The last paragraph should be split in half, when reading the split is very clear.

Over the course of a couple months we have had 4 projects that were assigned along with a theme. The first one consisted of finding things in nature that looked like letters of your name. The following project could be any object you want, but from a; bugs eyes, birds eye, rule of thirds, and lastly an image using fame.Our third project was a self portrait in which we got introduced to tripods to construct a self-image. Lastly and before we went on break we had a project that consisted of using our imagination to construct the word “dream” through a picture. Through these projects I would say my favorite was the one using random objects to construct my name, because it caused me to look at my surroundings more and become a better artist. However, my least favorite project was the last project and I think this is because I was so anxious about getting out for break and that was the only thing in sight for me.

I think I had a really successful first semester in Intro to Photography. I responded best to the “Self-Portrait” project because it allowed me to express the different sides of my personality. I feel like taking photos of something like that is easier than trying to describe it in words. I was able to get really creative with it, and I enjoyed capturing myself at different angles. It took some getting used to setting up the camera for a self-portrait, but I was very pleased with how the photos turned out in the end.

I liked this course a lot in the first semester because it has skills that will be useful in the future. I like knowing how to operate the camera and what parts do what. I like learning about the camera and how to edit photos the correct way. Being able to edit is a very useful tool and I look forward to experimenting with it more this semester. I look forward to all the projects this semester.

I enjoyed the Dream project the most. The Dream project allowed for us to be pretty free with the pictures we took. The whole concept of Dreamscapes really helped to provoke my imagination. This project allowed me to have more liberty in my thinking and how to process what photos to make. The Dreams project definitely helped me think more positively about photography and more on how better to use the medium of photography as an expression of creativity.

Over the first semester, we completed four projects. This includes name game, composition, self-portraits, and dreams. They were all meaningful and amazing projects that helped me learn useful photography skills and inspired me to capture more wonderful moments of my life. Out of all the projects, I liked the dream project the most because it allowed a lot of freedom to shoot around. The wide range of options we can take pictures on was inspirational. Even though some of them might be non-sense, it helped me to think of more creative ways to express myself.

The project that I enjoyed the most was probably the self portrait project. I liked it because it's kind of weird seeing yourself in a picture like that. It's kind of hard to explain but I thought that it was cool seeing yourself in a way you normally wouldn't. Its different than just looking in a mirror because there's more depth to it. It was the most fun to do as well.

The project that I reposed to the most was project number 4, dream. This one just got to me and made me get out of my comfort zone and made me explore my imagination. This project also made me go far and yonder over San Antonio, for I could find things that fit my dreams. This was fun for me because I got to see new areas I had never seen before. And the dream project was I took some of my favorite photos during the first semester.

This first semester went really well. There were definitely some struggles along the way with shooting and making sure everything looks good. I responded to the self-portrait picture the best. It wasn’t the easiest project for me to do since I don’t like myself in pictures but it did challenge me. I changed my way of thinking when I realized that a self-portrait doesn't have to have your face in it, just some part of your body like your hand or foot. That came in handy so I didn’t have to take a picture of myself over 100 times. I got creative with the pictures that I took and where I took them for better lighting. I learned how to adjust to different lights and angles for better shots and depiction.

The project I responded to the most was the Composition Project because it was a fun project that changed the way I take pictures. I was first introduced to the rule of thirds with this project and as I took pictures during the project I realized how much it makes my photos look different and less bland. This project helped me clean up my pictures and use different angles as I became more familiar with Birdseye and Bugs eye view to take pictures. I also learned where to position my camera for the best amount of light which I feel has helped me for future assignments which is what I feel helped me the most to become better at photography. It was also a super fun project as I got to take pictures of my Flash Pop! in different places trying to bring him to life at the same time as completing the minimum. I also remember taking a lot more pictures than the required amount because of how much I loved taking pictures for this project.

Out of the various projects we have done, the one I enjoyed making the most is the dream project. This is the one I enjoyed most because, although it was the one that took up the most time, it was the funnest one. I liked looking at my friends' projects and hearing their ideas. I thought it was fun since everything can be a dream or nightmare, therefore, we could take a picture of whatever we wanted. Although this doesn't mean I took a picture of random objects, I actually didn't have anything in mind at first.

My favorite project from this semester was Project 4: Dreams. This project was my favorite because of the freedom this project allowed. It allowed me to take pictures that were personal to my life and dreams, instead of something where everyone's photos are of similar things (such as letters). I like the creativity this project allowed me to have. I got to do some pretty cool things and experiment with fantasy-like things in this project. I enjoyed getting to use lots of crazy colors and backgrounds. This project changed my way of thinking in that before I was more just taking pictures of objects/things, but now I was creating scenes to take pictures of. This project helped me become a better artist because it allowed me to be able to experiment more. During this project, I also learned a new skill, which was how to remove objects from a picture using various methods.

The project I enjoyed most was Composition because I learned how to take pictures using bird’s eye and bug’s eye view. I enjoyed taking pictures from a different angle, and using my object, a barbie doll, as my model. I learned how to play around with natural light. To make my photos pleasing to the eye, I framed my image with objects around my house. Overall I think this project made me a creative artist because I could experiment with different angles and try a new point of view, like placing my barbie doll on a high shelf and looking from a bug's eye view.

My favorite project was the dream project. This project responded to me the most because we could take a picture of anything and make it a dream. It did help me become a better artist because of the subject dream. I feel like since we had to take a picture of a dream it made you think about the different lighting and surroundings to use. When I first thought of this project I didn’t know what I would take a picture of or where but I tried to think of dream like movies which helped me with some of my pictures.

I enjoyed the first project the most. I liked how it made me see things in a different way. I had to look for the letters in my name in everyday objects. I loved how creative the idea was. It was the best of all the projects so far, in my opinion. Comments are closed.
