When I first saw this assignment, I was worried.  I had never worked with a nice camera before.  Despite my fear, I was also excited to jump head first into working with this new device.  A companied by five classmates, we rented two cameras and worked together to create our projects.  My favorite part was taking pictures outside.  Working with the lighting and the different parts of nature made me feel like an actual photographer.

After Brother Judkins gave me a quick lesson on how to use photoshop, I went through all of my pictures and fixed them up.  I messed with the contrast and sharpened some of the edges and, while I was working, I felt more and more confident with photoshop.  I had never used the program before today and I think I like it.  Hopefully, I will continue to grow in my ability to design in photoshop and enhance my photography skills.
