First day of my photography class how did I do?

2025/9/5 Edited to

... Read moreStarting photography classes can be both exciting and challenging. On your first day, it's important to familiarize yourself with your camera’s basic functions such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. These settings influence how much light enters the camera and how your images turn out, so understanding them forms the foundation of great photography. Experimenting with different lighting conditions will also enhance your skills. Natural light offers great opportunities during golden hours—early morning and late afternoon—making your photos warm and visually appealing. Try capturing different subjects, including still life, landscapes, or portraits, to see how composition changes with each. Practice is crucial; shooting regularly helps develop an eye for framing and timing. Also, don’t hesitate to review and critique your photos after each session. Look for what worked and what can be improved, and seek feedback from instructors or fellow photography enthusiasts. Remember, photography is a journey where patience and creativity go hand in hand. Take your time to explore and enjoy the process. With consistent effort, your skills will improve, and your portfolio will start to reflect your unique perspective.

Justin Bieber is shirtless on a sandy beach, with wet hair and visible chest tattoos. A hand rests on his shoulder, and a blue and white striped towel is held. A white heart outline is overlaid on his chest. The ocean and rocks are visible in the background.

A page from 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover, Chapter One, with handwritten annotations like 'Sorry, what? First line?' and 'Okay, we get it...' highlighting the protagonist's initial thoughts on suicide and eulogies.
Page 5 of 'It Ends with Us' showing the protagonist observing a man on a rooftop. Annotations include 'You're so funny. So judgmental?' and 'He appears to be on the verge of a breakdown,' with highlighted text describing the man's posture.
Page 8 of 'It Ends with Us' with highlighted text describing a man's appearance: 'This guy is beautiful. Well-manicured, smells like money...' Annotations include 'Priorities' and 'Cute is an insult,' reflecting the narrator's internal commentary.
