I'm a sophomore taking my first photography class, and this here blog will showcase my attempts at doing so. It's a bit nerve-wracking at first because I literally know nothing about cameras other than pointing at something and clicking. Oh, and changing from automatic flash to none at all. My manual will become my best friend.
Even so, I am ready to begin the madness! Everything I hear in this course will be new to me, I will have everything to gain from it, and I hope to absorb as much as possible. Spongy.
Right this second, as I look through the My Pictures folder on my laptop, I have nothing to show but self-portraits with friends and family at my side, sky shots, and a frog that suctioned itself to a parking meter. Freddie is awesome, but I want him to be blown away by even more epic photos from this course.Just the act of knowing how to use a camera correctly, and being able customize the settings according to what I need, will help me become a better designer. Composition is key, no matter what. I may not be completely decided on which branch of design I'd like to major in, but being able to take professional pictures of my designs and drawings will be infinitely helpful.
I want to be able to appreciate my surroundings, because the prettiest pictures I've ever seen are of the most common settings and objects. I want to be able to make a shovel look beautiful.
McMahon out.
