Over the course of this trimester, I've grown so much as an editor as well as a photographer. I walked in the doors kind of nervous, especially with Photoshop because of some bad experiences I've had, but now I'm extremely confident about it. I've had lots of experience with photography and my camera, and although I feel like I improved in that field a bit, my Photoshop skills definitely did. I learned so much about all of the different layers, tools, filters, and textures to create anything I imagined. I also had a lot of fun getting to chose different categories for each of the weekly photo assignments, where I could photograph anything I was passionate about. The Pop Art was one of my first edits, and I scanned every single word in the directions to make sure I got it exactly right, so I didn't really use my creativity. The dictionary edit, my last, shows great examples of using different transform tools, layering, and sizing the images. That assignment came with minimal instructions so it was up to you to create a masterpiece. The different categories for the weekly photos allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. I'd never even heard about light painting before I came to this class, but it was such a fun category to choose and set up a shoot for. I was also not a really big fan of using Photoshop to put filters on my photos, but I loved how the black & white photos turned out. This class has really inspired me to use all of these techniques in the future. Both with my photography and Photoshop skills.
