What I Have Learned About Photography

I have learned a lot this week about photography. I have found an interest in something I never really loved. And I have also learned how to take amazing pictures.
I never really had an interest in photography before. Yes, I liked taking pictures, but now I love doing it. This course has taught me to use my imagination better.
In this part of the course I have learned to use lighting and angles and other things to take amazing pictures. It has taught me about aperture and shutter speed. Things I had never even heard about.
I have learned a lot so far. I have discovered a fun hobby and learned things I never heard about. I can’t wait to find out what I will be learning next.
