Reflection on A)POV, B)Macro/Minutiae,C)Motion

1. My interpretation of each of the three assignments is to help us examine photographs in new ways. We are getting up close and detailed in Macro/Minutiae helping me to understand the importance of detail in a picture. In Motion, we are learning how to capture something "in the moment" and still make it look moving which is really cool. In POV, my interpretation was to become more aware. Taking photos from new angles shapes and changes the pictures in many new ways and it is important to know how to make that effect and know you can.

2. The most important thing I learned in Macro/Minutiae was to really focus on the image I am taking and make sure it has a very descriptive detail. In Motion the most important thing I learned was the difference between blur and motion blur which helped create my image better. In POV the most important thing I learned was to get more creative. Taking photos from new angles really changed my photos in better ways for many of them.

3. I suppose the three assignments were assigned in the order they were to take things one step at a time. It was easiest to start from the easiest to hardest. We worked are way up to perfecting smaller and more individual detail.

4. On the Macro/Minutiae project I think I did well. I liked all my different examples of trees. But I also think I could have taken my pictures from more extreme angles to make the pictures more effective. In the Motion project I really liked my water picture. The photo expressed motion from the beginning to end showing the water moving everywhere. That was an effective motion photo for me. My POV photos were really good, I learned all new angles to take my photos from and it was fun.

5. I wish I would have taken more time in all the projects to get more pictures. I liked the ones I worked with but felt I needed more options. I did not take as many as I would have liked because of lighting schedules verse my own schedule when I had time to take my photos. Next time I will try and get outside real early to take more photos and have more light.

6. My favorite of the three projects was the Macro/Minutiae. Although I thought it was difficult to understand at first, the grids were so cool! I liked seeing all the images come together and it showed me how to connect themes and photos better.

7. The motion topic had an impact on my photography. I think it did because I like to take pictures of moving things a lot and I learned how. I know how to get the perfect motion blur verse a regular blurry image. Also I learned how to make moving photos look detailed and effective which is really helpful.
