Hello!
I am a Junior at Lakewood High School and I am taking photography 2. Last year I took Photography 1 and improved my photo taking and developing skills. Photography is a great way to express yourself and it is a lot of fun. The way my interest started in photography was from my older brother, he had a really nice camera and one day I asked him to teach me how to use it. That is how it all started. Later on that year, my parents surprised me with a Fujifilm FinePix S4800 digital camera. At first I started taking pictures of about everything because I was so excited, then I started taking pictures of my friends (like portrait pictures or them goofing off), nature, and landscapes. Eventually, I understood all the settings on the camera and I started taking decent pictures. I was being told my pictures were great from my friends and family so I continued to take pictures. Now, I continue to take pictures and that is why I decided to take this photography class. I hope to get a more advanced digital camera soon so I can take high quality pictures. It would be a great upgrade from my current camera, which has become too simple for me.
