Sorry for the late post. Overall, I enjoyed this class a lot! I always had a huge interest in photography. Last semester, I had actually taken the position to be a photographer for our school newspaper. That was my first time actually working with SLR digital cameras, so I had a a chance to play around with the aperture and ISO settings as I was photographing. However, this semester, I really wanted a formal introduction to the camera and so I took this class. It was extremely fun and interesting to learn about the dynamics of how to take pictures with specific settings. It was sometimes a challenge in the beginning to set the right aperture and shutter speed depending on the setting of the photo I wanted to take. However, I feel like I quickly developed the skills of automatically knowing which settings to use. I specifically love using the low aperture setting so that one object in the foreground is in focus and the background is blurry. I also love taking photographs of people in their everyday lives. Capturing a moment when a father is playing with his son or a performance group is doing a group cheer is always special. One thing Serafino noticed about my pictures was that I tend to take vertical pictures with diagonal lines, which I thought was extremely interesting, considering I don't purposely plan to take my pictures that way. I really loved that I had a chance to develop my own style in photography. Now, when I'm walking on the streets, there's not a moment where I don't think the thought, "Hmm...that scene is photo worthy." Thanks so much Serafino for teaching us and inspiring me to discover and delve into a new hobby that I love and enjoy! Here are a couple of my pictures!
