11/20/2017 0 Comments November 20th, 2017The first time I started messing around with cameras, I had no idea what I was doing. I Thought it was as easy as just pointing it in a direction and taking a picture. How wrong was I. I was 10 years old then and was given the camera for Christmas, I loved to take pictures but they weren't anything special, in fact, they were terrible. A few years latter when I was 14 my brother took a photography class in college. His final project was to take an indirect photo of the sun so he shot through a puff of needles on a tree. After some editing it became a beautiful picture. This got me excited about photography and I wanted to explore it for myself. Come sophomore year I was given the opportunity to take a digital photography class at Saline High School. I was excited to learn how to make my pictures go from bad, to great. At first we did a lot of lecturing, we didn’t get the cameras out until 3 days in. The lecturing though was probably the best thing for my skills as a photographer. Mr.Bush taught us how to not only take great pictures, but edit them to make them even better. He gave us the means to become good photographers, it was up to me to run with it. My pictures slowly got better. My editing skills improved much faster than my skills behind the camera but they also increased over time. The techniques and the settings control we learned continued to evolve as we took more and more pictures. Mr.Bush's jokes continued to usher forward our silence, and my friends and me explored the school, opening our photographic eye. With everything we learned and everything we did, we gained a new view of the world, one that I wouldn't trade for anything.
