1st Semester Reflection

Part 1:
Quality of my Work- i think i have done an alright job with the quality of my work but there is definitely areas, especially within photoshop, that i need to work on. To try and find ways that will help me make my projects more realistic and make it less obvious that they were altered. Other than that i think the photos that i take are pretty good, i think i get the right angles needed for the projects and get the lighting to hit the subject in a good way to make it look the way that it was intended to. for every shooting project i did put an index print as well.
Effort- i know that i havent put the same amount of effort into all my projects but i try to have enough effort in all of them to do at least an alright job on them. the ones that i have more interest in what the outcome will be i tend to work harder on. but i try to work on all the projects with a good amount of effort. for the shooting projects given i had always came to the next class with the photos that i wanted to choose from either on my phone or on a sd card. i dont actually count the number of photos taken i just shoot until i think i have the photo that id like to use. i like shooting pictures that you have to infer what they are meaning to say.
Participation- throughout class i will work on my projects until i feel like i have done enough to them or there is nothing else for me to do, after that moment i either do things for other classes or i will play sudoku. i wont do those things unless all my projects are up to date, i am never late though.
Improvement- i think i have gotten better at photoshop, still not as good as id like to be but i do feel like i am getting the hang of using it. i wasnt at all good at it at the beginning of the year but i feel even just the one semester has helped me get used to it a lot.
Adjustments- if i could go back to change something that i did, i would probably tell myself to slow down on the projects at the beginning. i remember at the start of the year i was very worried that i was not going to have enough time to finish it with good details so i rushed some of my projects. i will try and spend more time on the photoshop projects and sit there and do whats needed to make them better.

Part 2:
id like a project with shadows and taking a picture of something just for its shadow either natural or flash. maybe making the shadow into something the object isnt, or someone walking along the beach at sunset and take a picture of the sand.
