The first part of my journey was to complete the Digital Images section. I've been working so hard on these all while fighting this horrible sickness that has caught me and my family completely off guard -- including my11 month old son! However, I've been plowing through, trying my hardest to complete this project. I love taking pictures so this is not difficult in that sense, but making sure I have the correct shot compositions was a bit of a challenge. I loved the rule of thirds composition. This to me just set an entire different mode for photography for me. It was different and it was fun creating the perfect shot.
Editing Images was not a difficult task as it was a huge part of a course I took last semester. I had a great time playing around with all the editing tools last semester that it was a lot less stressful this semester seeing as I knew what I was doing. For this I am thankful because I am not sure just how much more stress I can handle at the moment.
This assignment, tough it truly did kick my butt along with being sick, was a very interesting assignment to work on. I was quite proud of having all these different compositions to bring back to my wife and to my mother (who missed her calling as a photographer).
Looking forward to my next task!

Weekly Posting 2-18
I cannot believe it is Wednesday already. The days this week have completely gone right by me. I guess being off on Monday doesn't help with this either.
So I've been working through my journey and it's really taking a lot more time than I expected. The digital images aspect is fascinating because I learned about different views of a picture and how to create these views. I feel I might be able to take better pictures because of this...which is what going to school is all about - learning how to do something new. I always thought I was pretty comfortable with taking pictures and they always seemed to come out looking great. But going into this assignment, I truly felt I was out of my comfort zone. I mean, this is something I've never experienced before...or maybe I have but never knew it. So reading about all the different types of ways you can take a picture was a step backwards for me in the sense that I was very uncomfortable holding a camera for once. But that one step backwards was erased by my two steps forwards when I could see what I am actually capable of doing now. And the best part is taking it to my mother (who is truly a photographer at heart - she just missed her calling) and showing her what she can do.
I am glad that I've had the opportunity to learn what I've learned about these digital images so far - regardless of the butt kicking I may be receiving. ;0
