I gained a lot of expertise with doing a gallery show, and also the correct and incorrect doings of putting on a gallery show.

To all incoming AP Photography students, take each assignment seriously. If you put your best effort forward you really do produce great work, and it shows in your artwork if you put forth hard work. But also, have fun taking pictures!!

I gained so much knowledge throughout the entire year, learning which settings work best with the lighting and subjects you want to capture.

I think for next year after first semester, instead of just telling them what needs to be done by a certain date, actually show them so they can get an idea of how long each assignment will take to get finished.

I learned that I am a decent photographer, and have a much better eye for seeing things through a camera lens than when I first started this class. I didn't think I could take a picture of such ordinary things and make them look so appealing to the eye.

I will use this knowledge and take amazing photos when I go to Mexico at the end of the month. I would also like to buy a nice camera for myself sometime in the future and take wonderful every day pictures.
