A Camera In Every Pocket

Q: How do you feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high-quality cameras has changed the nature of photography? I feel the popularity of cell phones embedded with high quality cameras has changed the nature of photography by the way you can adjust and focus on images all the different types of things you can do. Cell phone cameras now a days have improved so much and have a lot of different types of settings you can choose from. I prefer to use a cell phone camera rather then a regular camera.The most recent smartphones  have improved photo quality. Smart phones are way cheaper then a DSLR cameras. DSLR cameras coast way more, I think thats one reason people use smart phones to take pictures. Some people just shoot the picture and don't really think of anything. No Changing of anything when some people shoot. They just shoot it and are done. I think smart phones will become more like the DSLR cameras and their quality.

Alternative Assignment

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period."
   I think tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high schools. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce . I think it would be good if a little bit of money was used for the art, music and or theater classes. Only because art music and theater are important to our education too that helps us learn we don't always have to be doing actual work we could get ready to enter the workforce also by learning about art, music and theater classes. Im in the middle on this statement. Im not quite sure where i stand because I think the tax money shouldn't be wasted on art, music and theater class but then again I think some of it should be used for both things. These can help us enter the workforce one way or another.

Semester 1 Reflection

     Semester 1 was a bumpy road. I feel I could improve on my skills, photo shop, & just by taking my work more seriously. The whole semester wasn't a bumpy road but there were some days / some projects that were. I had a great first semester I enjoyed most of the projects we got to do and I enjoyed getting to learn new things. I have my favorite projects here and there but then sometimes We have projects that I hate and feel they are too hard for me but I find my way to pull through and complete the assignment. Sometimes while using photoshop I would find it pretty hard but as I go along using it and start doing these new projects that involve photoshop more I'm starting to improve. Ive been learning how to improve also on taking pictures and having certain lighting also making sure the camera is where it needs to be at . Making sure I focus on what is the main point in the picture. I would say I'm starting to like this class and I'm becoming move involved.
