I learnt how to take 11 different types of shots for the assignment and how to use the basic controls of the camera. I have a camera at home which is a little bit different than the one in class so I had to learn the controls of that camera too. I also had to learn to change my mindset for taking pictures and sorting out which ones I like more or which ones fit the assignment more than others.
What I liked about my first photography was that it was a lot of fun. I got to go out, take pictures, edit them, and now I get to show them off. I find it really interesting that now, in my everyday life, I see the world around me through a camera lens. I am constantly thinking, ¨wow that looks amazing¨ and that would make a great photo. It's crazy how my way of thinking changed dramatically withing the first two weeks. What I didn't like as much was going so slowly because I had to still learn how to upload things or being able to get all of my photos done instead of being able to snap my fingers right and have it already finished.
