Photography in General~

Hello! This is a blog I'm doing for my Digital Writing class. I have chosen the topic of photography because to put it simply, I'm good at it. When you pick up a camera what do you do? You take a picture of course! Photography is a wonderful medium for capturing moments and places that mean something to you. Anyone can pick up a camera and take general pictures. However there are other advanced ways to take pictures. You have things like, depth of field, macro, painting with light, and many other other forms of photography one can look into and do themselves. You can also enhance your photos with software such as adobe photoshop, adobe lightroom and other such programs. My style of photography involves the use a filters which I add in photoshop. Some people would say "oh you should use the original photo because natural is better!" Sometimes that's true. However I dont exactly have a high end camera so the filters really help making my photos look more proffesional. You will see a lot of such photos throughout this blog. Another reason I choose to use filters is because for me they add depth, feeling, emotion. The picture I've used in this blog is a simple picture I took of some clouds. I imported it to photoshop and added retro/old style type filter. It's a bit more colorful and sort of has a nostalgic feel when I look at it. Some may also say my style is repedative as I use a lot of the same filters a lot, but that's just my style and it works for me. That's all for this week. Next week I'll talk about specific styles of photography.
