Movie Reflection

The movie was very interesting and made me want to go to those places to take photos. It showed me that there are a lot of beautiful places around me that I can photograph and have a fun time doing so. My favorite part was watching the water fall it was very relaxing to see and hear. My other favorite part was watching a group of people chant. It was interesting to see their type of culture and what they do. This movie also opened my eyes to see living conditions for other countries; it makes me appreciate what I have. This video opens my eyes to a lot more, also it opens my mind to think about where I should go to take photos or get photos the way I want them to turn out. I wish I could have gone with the people that made this video to experience the beauty they saw and to experience what they did.

1 Shot Photo


On out assignments we have had we have been taking for granted that we can pick and choose what photo we like the best. For this assignment we had to take photos and choose which one we like the best off the camera screen and try and get it to the best quality we can.
