Topic 1: Turning Pro-
I really only want to do photography not photojournalism persay...and I want to do it as a hobby, not professionally. I learned how to use a professional camera and about shutter speed and things I never really knew before so that was a great learning experience. I still have much to learn and am glad I took this class. I will continue taking pictures of family and nature but will also probably expand to taking pictures of more things and people because I've learned to overcome some of my bashfulness too.
Topic 2: Photographer of the week-
Ansel Adams photos stood out to me because I love nature shots and he was one of the first nature photographers and I love that he didn't try to change the photos...they all were just natural and showed the true image without being edited in any way (also perhaps due to the fact photoshop didn't exist then). My favorite photo of his was of a mountain that I cannot remember the name of but Stephen Wilkes had reshot it many years later.
