Reflection

This short course has taught me a lot about photography. A few of these topics are the exposure triangle, composition techniques, lighting techniques, and perspectives. My greatest challenge of the course was digesting all of these topics, particularly with the exposure triangle. Learning what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are was digestable. The difficult portion was learning how they could all effect eachother because of how much light was being let in. Learning how you could achieve different results with higher or lower values in each category. Depending if your goal was to get a grainier feel you could use a higher ISO. If you wanted to have a shallow depth of field use a large aperture or vice versa. If you wanted to capture an object in motion you could use a slower shutter speed to see the motion blur, or if you wanted a still and snappier image use a shorter shutter speed. All of this, I learned in this class through trial and error. Likewise, I was able to learn about lighting techniques and light painting. By using a long shutter speed while simultanously adjusting the focal length mid shot to obtain a overlayed image. Learning about all of these topics and learning how to execute them was my greatest challenge. My greatest success was how I was able to go out and explore with my camera. Going to new spots and capturing the moments in various ways was new and fun to me. It really made me get into the mindset of finding the best shot in everyday life. Not only finding the best shot, but experimenting with various techniques to get my desired shot. One of my favorite techniques that I learned from this course was light painting as well as depth of field. By changing the aperture I could either get a large or narrow depth of field (large aperture: narrow depth of field / small aperture: large depth of field). Utilizing this technique to either highlight a singular subject like in a portrait or even a large subject like an entire landscape. Ultimately, this course has given me a true appreciation for photography and has me eager to learn more.
