Photography Class: Part I

This week, I thought I’d give you a look at what I’ve been doing in my photography class. The class is emphasizing digital photography, and actually takes place completely online. The main thing that I’m not a big fan of about this class being online is that there’s no actual instruction taking place. The teacher just tells us what the assignments are but doesn’t really tell us how or give us many pointers. So basically everything I’ve done I either learned from a short tutorial from my uncle, or taught myself. One thing I do like is that I know a couple of my classmates in “real life”, so that’s cool. 

In this post, I’m going to post all the photos I’ve submitted for the first 5 weeks of the class, which is one project per week. I still have two more projects left for the semester and I’ll post those photos after the semester is over.
