Homework #1 part C

What moment of your life do you wish you had a photograph of?

I grew up on a horse farm in Connecticut with a beautiful pond on the property. I will always remember year after year, ice skating on the pond with my family and friends. My brother and his friends and I would all play hockey and there would be hot cocoa and a fire. The winters were always so much fun for this reason. However for the past few years it hasn't gotten cold enough where I live for the pond to freeze. Finally! This year it actually froze and I couldn't be happier to revisit our tradition of ice skating on the pond. Unfortunately though, I didn't take many pictures of the moments while we were skating. I was too caught up spending time with everyone and playing games that I didn't even feel like taking the camera out. I wish I were able to capture that moment exactly the way I saw it.

Introduction to Digital Photography

Why am I taking this course?

I'm taking this course because I love photography and art in general. I've been taking photos on my Iphone camera for years now, and I thought it was finally time to invest in a real DSLR camera. I want to learn how to take better photos and edit them in a more effective and useful way. I also want to learn more about the camera itself and its functions. Since I bought my DSLR, I've been watching countless youtube videos online to learn the basic functions of the camera and I would really like to expand that learning and dive deeper into photography as a whole.
