2. What is one thing that you wish we had spent more time on? Again please use details and tell me WHY. I wish we could've focused more on landscape, because every photo we took was admiring the earth or work that someone had done.
3. Lightroom is a pretty powerful tool and I know we have only touched parts of it, what are two things you would like to either spend more time on, or what function do need more training on? If you need to open Lightroom you should do so, please try to get the correct name for the controls you are talking about. I would like to spend more time on the blemish remover tool. I would like to learn how to remove large marks on the face and learn how to make myself look not as ugly. I would also like to learn how to use the tone curve. i honest lave no idea what it does.
4. This semester I pushed really hard to finish as much of the required curriculum that I wanted to cover that models the ACC assignments. We are four assignments short of finishing but 2 of them will be done in class, so we did well to get as much done as we did. With that being said, do you feel the work load is acceptable for this class? Please tell me WHY? Yes i believe that the amount of work we are receiving is good because we all took this class to learn about cameras and take better photos, so doing the work should never be a problem.
4A. If you have struggled to keep up with the assignments (and I know who you are, so please be honest), please tell me what caused you to fall behind? Please be specific and also please be realistic with your answers. If you didn't struggle, you do not need to answer this question, move on to #5. I am a diligent worker, bit i sometime fall behind. This semester i fell a little behind because I'm in some other really hard classes but i can keep up.
5. So far, what was your favorite assignment/photo shoot that we did? Please include details of why this was your favorite and what parts of the task that made it your favorite. My favorite project would have to all of the free shoots because it gives us all an opportunity to show you our favorite form of photography.
6. Which assignment was the most difficult for you to understand/complete? Again, please be specific and include details of why it was that way for you. The event shoots were very complicated because it made us find an outside of school event to take pictures.
7. Which topic listed above are you the most excited about? Be sure to explain why. I am most excited about the field trips because we get to leave school.
8. Are there any photography related topics that you want to know more about, but you don't see covered above and that we haven't touched on this semester? I would like to do the steel wool photography soon.
9. What are you photographic goals for the future? Do you see yourself going to college specifically for photography? Do you want to learn more about your collegiate options specifically for photography?
Some of my photographic goals is to do senior portraits for someone. I would love to see the excitement on their face after I am done with the process.
10. One thing I haven't spent much time on, and that isn't in my plans is about equipment, do you think that we need to spend a little time talking about photography equipment? If you answer yes to this question? Is there anything in specific you want to know? What types of things should I prepare to share with you in regards to equipment. No i think you are doing an amazing job dude.
11. Post your best/favorite photo that you took of the semester.
12. Finally, since this is the first semester of teaching this class here at Bowie, what suggestions do you have for me about how this semester has gone, what I could be doing better. What suggestions do you have to improve any part of this class? For example, you could tell me about student/teacher relations, student/student relations, the content we are covering, the lesson plans themselves, the structure of the formal assignments, the directions for event and free shoots, etc. I am open to anything. Part of my job is to make this a positive experience, yet it is also an educational opportunity for all of you and the other part of my job is to teach you new skills. I have nothing to say about your teaching. I think you are doing an amazing job.
