Reflection of Photography

  So far this year in photography I learned a lot that I never about before. I learned about the rule of thirds and how it is more appealing to the eye to have a picture positioned in one section of the photograph.  I learned that rule of thirds is when u divide a picture into 9 equal squares and place the subject in one section of the squares so it draw the attention of whoever looks at it. I also learned that that you can control the amount of light u let into the lens by changing the shutter speed and aperture, also by changing the aperture and f-stop you can make a depth of field photo where the subject is clear and the background is blurry.  Another type of photography that I learned is the freeze frame and motion blur. By changing the shutter speed to a high number like 1/200 u get a freeze frame photo and by slowing down the shutter speed to like 1/8 you get a motion blur picture where you can see the movement happening in the picture.

  Photography class also taught me all about Photoshop. I learned how to change the resolution, color, brightness, contrast, and a lot more! Overall I’ve learned more about photography so far than I ever had and I can’t wait to learn even more!
