After a year of practice in photography this assignment showed me how I have improved dramatically. I was able to take these pictures during one class period and with no instructions on what settings to use. This is something I wouldn't have been able to do at the beginning of the year. I used flash on some of these picture because it was cloudy outside and I really like how they turned out. My favorite picture would have to be the first one of my classmate Daniela. I liked how the purple flowers from the tree helped take away some of the empty space in the background.
