Final Learning Adventure #3

As I reached the end of the two weeks I feel successful with my achievements, the task seemed simple. Go out and take pictures and compare them to Michael Freeman's this way my photos will be improved but that's not exactly how easy it was. I had many struggles throughout my project such as having the right setting and background, also I thought that I was going to focus on nature, outdoor photography but many of Michael's pictures were with people but were still outside. I enjoy nature photography more but I had to experience a different type of photography, this was challenging. My friends really helped me achieve the photos I had in mind. I learned while doing this project that you can really be motivated If you are doing something you enjoy I had no problem going out and doing this project because it was something that I am passionate about and I actually want to learn more about photogrpahy and become better at taking photos.

At the beginning of this project I thought How can I really increase my learning about photography? And my vision of success was comparing my photo's to an actual professional photographer and this being help myself as a "photographer". This helped me complete my project because It was different from the ways I was used to so I was excited to see what new levels I could reach and If this could actually effect me, which It did. Michael had great tips about the editing and types of lighting angles to make the pictures look best, this really helped me understand while seeing his examples of what he meant in his own pictures that were in the books.

Learning adventure #2

Last week I went to the Library, I found many books that Michael Freeman published even though I had never heard of him I just decided to check the three books out. That night when I got home I started skimming through the books and wrote down many helpful tips and facts that he suggests to make your photography better. He would have examples of his own work to show you exactly what he means and how you can express it. So over the week and through the weekend I went out and tried to capture what he did in his pictures, I got many similar end results. Although they were didn't have to be the same picture the way you edit them can effect the back lighting, shadows, and much more.

My learning goal for the end would be to have the knowledge of the photographer I'm researching, this means my photos will not only be improved in the ways that I have learned but they will be similar to the photographers pictures also. I would say that being successful at the end result would be the out some of how my pictures are compared to the photographer I studied about, not only that but also experiencing new and different ways to take photos, such as lighting, editing, angles...etc.

I need to learn new ways that can make my pictures intrigue somebody, not have them be just average that anybody could do.The internet is a big resource also checking out books at the library. I could potentially change the person I am researching or not just do one person, that would help with the variety. Although I have not chosen the person yet..I plan to go to the library tomorrow to chose somebody and then also do more internet research.
