The Dutch girl

Hello,

What I learned from photography this semester is a lot. I learned a lot about Photoshop what I didn't know before. What I really like to do know. Sometimes it is still very hard but it is fun to do it. Also I learned to make better picture's that you have to look at the light, zoom in or zoom out, focus or not, blur etc. I really liked the project with the micro, because you are going in your subject and I like that. Also the portraits from other people was nice to do it. I had a lot of fun with my sister and friends.
What I learned from myself was that I had to be on time to make picture's. Because I was very busy with my swimming and I had a hard time to make pictures sometimes. But everything worked out welll. Next time I just start early with making pictures. So maybe in the weekend already.

What I wish that we did this semester was more working in the darkroom. I like that a lot, it is very different to do it. I thought that we can choose this end of the semester if we are doing digital or in the darkroom. But we did digital, I like that too, but maybe I prefer the darkroom more, because it is not normal to do it in normal life.
Where I struggle with was sometimes Photoshop. I forgot sometimes how you need to do this or that, but I am so glad that I have this class because I like to make pictures.
Photoshop is sometimes very hard, but it is so nice that it is in the world, you can do everything with it. You need to take time to do it. What I conquer was to make the panorama picture with myself in it. That was the hardest thing in this class. It was so hard to Photoshop it, because layer for layer and you need to take time, and sometimes I am not very good from taking time. So that was another struggle for me. But everything worked out well because I just focused on it, and put a picture their and a picture their and did things around and erase things. It is not my best job, but it is okay. I really want to do this project again in my free time!
Also the silhouettes was very hard to do, in the beginning I didn't know how I had to start, but then I found a light and a subject. So I put the light behind the subject and took a picture of it. Sometimes you didn't see a black subject but after a few times and try to change everything it worked out. That was another struggle and conquer too!

I want to say thank you so much for teaching me all this things. I am so glad that I have been in your class! And I am happy that I have yearbook too :)
Thank you for everything!
