      Hello and welcome to the last week of Photography Phaves. This week has gone well. I've edited some more photos, learned new techniques, and read an article on photography. I'm happy to say I have gotten better from when I first started. I've learned I enjoy photography and it is a fun hobby. Yes, it has it's ups and downs, but overall it went pretty great. I'm happy I got to experience this fun adventure. I now know what I need to work on in order to improve my skills. I hope to photograph someone else to see how things turn out. I might try free photoshoots. I am looking to buy a camera, however they are pretty spendy for a good one.      Thank you for joining me on this fun adventure! until next time!     Here are some edited photos I have taken.

      Welcome back to the "Photography Phaves"! I am unfortunately still waiting for my camera charger, so I resorted to my iPhone. I will also have to return the camera I borrowed. However, I'm hoping to buy my very own camera to continue my photographing career. I have learned that I enjoy the skill, and it is very relaxing. I hope I keep getting better and better.      This week I have taken   a few photos on my phone and edited them. I have also looked through my camera roll to find any photos I have taken in the past and practiced editing. Although, taking pictures on my phone is fun, however it does not compare to my camera. I miss it. That has been my struggle lately and maybe with taking photos on my phone I learn to improve my skills with light, angle etc.      I have been editing my photos with an app on my phone called "Vsco". It works well, as I am able to edit contrast, clarify, saturation, highlights, fade etc. It...

      Hello again! This will be my sixth week of learning photography. All I want to do now is take pictures all the time. Unfortunately I have to buy a charger for my camera and they don't sell them in Miles City, so I will have to order one:( It will take a while to order. So I have been focused on learning how to edit my photos. I've been taking photos on my phone, which is definitely not as fun but it'll do for now. I'm hoping my charger will come in soon.      I took some photos in the ag shop of welding/sparks to capture artificial light. They turned out good, but they would've looked 10 times better with my camera. However, I believe it is good for photographers to take photos on camera that are not so high quality, so it you can improve. It teaches you what works and what doesn't. I've also learned some features on my iPhone for taking photos that are pretty interesting.  Here are some photos I've taken on my iPhone this week!

      Welcome Back! This week I viewed other photographers work. I looked at the minor details within the photos. I looked at pictures before and after they were edited. The after's were lots better. Before they were dark and you couldn't see much detail. After, there was tons of light and color. I've learned that editing plays a huge role in how the photos looked. The photos with natural light before looked better than the photos with not lots of natural light after the photos were edited. It's amazing how much editing can make photos look so much better.      This week I had troubles finding new places or things to take photos of. I hope I can take pictures of my family next week. Since the days are getting shorter, I run out of evening light. Summer definitely has some of the best lighting. I need to learn how to take photos in the winter and with gray skies.           Since this week I looked at before and  after's, I'...

      Hello again! Welcome back to week four of Photography Phaves! This week I had some troubles finding lighting, as the weather is getting colder, and there isn't as much sunlight. I have been searching ways to get good lighting during the colder seasons. My camera I borrowed also ran out of battery and I don't think there is a charger I can borrow, so I will have to purchase a charger. I took photos of animals this week and a couple other varieties. This week's photos turned out okay, but not as good as I would've liked them to. This week definitely was a learning week, as I experienced some struggles. I'm hoping that I can fix them next week. I hope later I can take photos of people, and learn ways to take photos of them.      Here are some photos from this week! See you soon!

      Hello again welcome to the third week of my blog. I can say I've stepped up in the photography world. I've figured out lighting a little better. It look some trial and error but for the most part I got it figured out. I also learned how to take photos of something in motion. For example, I didn't have to get my dog to stay still, I could take pictures while he's on the move. I did this with a setting on my camera. It was extremely helpful. This week I've also learned a little more of how to use my camera. I played around with it and found new features. I was surprised what it could do. I've learned that I enjoy taking photos and hope to get my own camera one day. It's a fun hobby, and I could also use it to capture important moments and maybe one day if I practice, I'll be able to do it professionally.   I also learned how to download my photos onto my phone. It took a while to figure out, but I finally figured it out.  I edited my photos on an app...

      Hello Again! Welcome to week two of me learning photography. I'm happy to say I've improved a little on my work. I learn each time I take pictures. This week I learned about lighting and what parts of the day work the best. I've been taking my pictures in the evenings, because that is when I believe they look the best. I've also learned some new techniques on how to properly operate my camera. It's harder than I originally thought.      I have also looked at professional photographers work, and the certain techniques they use. I've learned it has taken them lots of practice to get good, and that there is always room for improvement. This week I took pictures of my animals. It's hard getting them to stand still, because they move a lot. However, this has taught me how to take pictures while something is in motion. I hope I can continue to improve and possibly learn how to edit my photos!     I've searched how to get photos from my camera to m...
