Quote for the experience: I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it ~ unknown
Today was my final photography lesson at The University of Calgary. Taking a picture a day for a year can have many challenges and I felt my photography plateaued this summer. Thankfully, my Dad purchased me a photography lesson for my birthday and I loved every minute of the class.
If you know me at all you know that I can’t stay awake past 10:30pm. This class finished around 9:45 so my creative juices were really running dry on Wednesday class night. On the Saturday class I had approximately 2 hours of sleep so again I didn’t think that I would really benefit from the class. Luckily, I learnt A LOT. More than I could have even imagined! Every member in the class taught me something new and the instructor taught me a million little tricks to improve my photographs.
I realize that I’m just beginning my journey in the photography realm but I do love picking up my camera every single day and trying to find beauty even if there is nothing there. I’m excited to try new classes and to keep learning (even if it’s through my own mistakes). I’m proud of how much my pictures have improved from the beginning of the year and even over the last few weeks of the course. Oh the possibilities.
I will use my techniques out in Croatia with the point and shoot camera and hopefully post some nice pictures while I’m over there.
