2. One thing I wish we had spent more time on was architecture. I really like shooting architecture and would have enjoyed going more in depth on techniques for shooting architecture. I also would have loved getting to shoot more types of buildings and structures that are more out-of-the-norm.
3. I think I understand lightroom pretty well already, so I don't think I need more training on what we've already learned. I would like to know more about the tools in split toning, I don't recall talking about those and I want to know what they are/what they do. Another thing I want to do in lightroom is to just generally go deeper into what things are and how they work, like the effects and such.
4. To be honest, I feel like there is too much work in this class. Out of all of my classes, I have the most in this one and I know myself and quite a few others have other extra curricular activities that prevent us from having the amount of time required to really do well and put a lot of effort into the amount of work given. I really try my best to complete my assignments but there's a lot of it on top of all my work from my other classes and I simply do not have the time to do anything without causing myself excessive amounts of stress. I really do love this class but it's just so much work and I have trouble keeping up because of other things going on outside of this.
4A. I know I was one of the ones that is falling behind in my work and I think it's because I cheerleading takes up so much of my time plus work from my all of my other classes. It is really difficult for me to complete all of the assignments given in this class without causing myself to have small breakdowns. This is the only class I stress about and I know this isn't an excuse (and I don't want to make excuses because I know I need to turn in my work) but to me, my mental health and overall well being comes first and if not turning in an event shoot or something is what keeps everything good, then that is what I am going to do.
5. My favorite assignment this semester was either landscapes or architecture. I really like shooting these two things and I'm glad we got to cover them this year and go more in depth than last year in photojournalism. With shooting landscapes, I like the amount of freedom we had in what we shot and how we shot it. The architecture project I just liked shooting because I find architecture really interesting so it was fun to shoot stuff that wasn't on campus.
6. The assignment that was most difficult for me was depth of field. I just really didn't understand how to shoot it and just generally did not get it. I don't know what it was about that project but I couldn't do it right no matter how many times I tried and moved things around and played with settings,
7. The topic for next semester I'm most excited about is studio photography because I'm interested in portraits and studio work in general and would eventually like to get into fashion photography. I feel like working on that in this class will really help me understand it better and teach me a lot about techniques and how to shoot it.
8. One thing I do want to know more about is shooting animals (not just pets). I don't see it on the list and we just barely touched on it with the pet project but I love shooting animals. Other than fashion photography, I love national geographic and I would like to know more about getting such great shots of animals.
9. My goals for the future I have mentioned in a few other questions but I really want to continue photography in the future. I would love to get into event photography (specifically concerts and other music events), fashion photography, or something similar to what you see in national geographic. My favorite photographer is Adam Elmakias, I love his work and just what he does in general and I really see myself doing something similar because of my love for music. I see concert photography as a way to do my two favorite things - be around music and shoot.
I used to want to go to college specifically for photography but now I really see myself maybe just minoring in it but I really don't know. I think it would be really cool to go to college for it but I just don't know really.
10. I would like to spend a little more time talking about equipment. I understand the camera body but I want to know more about different lenses, what they are used for, when you use them, and what they do. I also would like to cover other various pieces of equipment, I can't think of anything in particular but I really just want to learn everything I can this year about photography.
11.
12. I think the semester has gone well on your part, really. I like the way you teach and how you cover new things and everything. You do well on telling people what they're missing and how it affects their grades. I like the content we cover and what we do in class. I don't really think I would change anything. The structure of the formal assignments are clear and generally pretty easy to understand. Go Reeves!!! :-)
