What have I learned this semester?

This semester I took beginning photography to help me gain useful skills that I can apply to my yearbook class. Not only did I learn skills for taking photos but I ended up learning how to create much more with my photos in photoshop.

My favorite thing I learned from this class was how to adjust photos. This helped the coloring and brightness in my photos look nicer and it is also my favorite thing because I use this skill almost every day in yearbook. Another favorite skill that I use now is how to take many shots at once and how to stop action in my photos. These skills are very useful for when I attend sporting events and take pictures. 

Before this class I had never used photoshop. I still have a lot to learn in photoshop because but it helps me view my pictures better, crop pictures, and adjust colors and brightness. In photoshop I have also made, Christmas cards, business cards, bookmarks, and many more but my favorite use for photoshop would be editing my photos.

I cannot wait to use my many skills I have gained through this class and use them in my yearbook class. This has also been one of my favorite classes because it is one of the few classes where I can see myself using the skills I have learned within the upcoming years. I hope to continue to use and improve my photography skills with the future media classes I will be taking.
