So Long, Photography


With the new semester now fully underway, some classes of the past have gone, one of which I belonged to for a time.

Photography Assignment: Colors



Photography was an amazing class where we would be able to freely take, criticize and edit the pictures we took. The entire class itself was only composed of about 8 people, with Anna Vedder assisting and learning at the same time.



At the start of the semester, we focused on the linear aspect of photography, thus dealing with the "rule of thirds" and horizontal lines. The rule of thirds is that, for a more interesting and appealing picture, you should not have a line down the middle, but two lines dividing the picture into thirds. While working this into horizontal lines, some of us met road blocks, but we got past them easily.

From the bascis, we moved on to action and motion shots, to scenery pictures (with trips to Cascade Falls many a time), and to portraits - ranging from group shots, to big group shots, to a portrait of one person.



Personally, I loved my time in the Photography class, and I certainly loved and will use the skills I gained.

Thanks Mr. Claus, thanks Anna, and thank you Photography Class!
