Experience

My experience with photography may be a little more than many of the people in the class, but as a photographer, I am still very inexperienced. This past Christmas marked the one year anniversary of me taking pictures for fun after I received my camera as a gift. I originally began taking motocross photos with it because motocross is my favorite sport. For my birthday last year I got a 70-200 f/2.8 lens, which is a good all around lens especially for taking high speed action shots. I have been very pleased with the results I have gotten out of the lens thus far. At my job this summer I was also able to get Adobe Photoshop for free, which has been a great tool and a lot of fun to play around with in my spare time. Before having Photoshop I had used similar programs, but nothing really compares to the Adobe in my opinion. Though my main interest in taking photos began with action shots, I am really open to photograph all kinds of things, including scenery, objects, people, as well as sports. Photography has been a fun way to get out and enjoy nature and different scenes. Now that I have my GoPro camera, I have gotten interested in making videos also, which has been a lot of fun as well. Though I am pretty confident with my skills as a photographer, there is always more to learn.
