Independent Task 1

LIA: "I, Heather Powers,  affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work."
For my independent task, I took the Digital Photography ROP class. Jack Bohlka is the teacher. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 3-6 pm.  I turned in log signed by Jack with 99 hours of class time. In the class we learn how to work a digital camera, lighting techniques, angles, aperture setting, various forms of photography such as headshots, landscape, abstract, and black and white, as well as the basic uses of Photoshop.

Here is a link to my Facebook page where I have uploaded some of the pictures I took in this class, they are in order of when I took them to show improvement.
This class has taught the basics of photography and what it takes to be a photographer. It helped me answer my EQ by helping me to prioritize what is most important in photography. I learned that you have to know about what kind of lighting you what and what kind of angle you want before you take the picture. You have yo set up the shot to get what you saw across to the person looking at your picture. You also want to set up the shot so you don't have to change it or improve it on Photoshop, you want Photoshop to be a las resort.
