What I have learned and what I need to work on in PhotoJRN

What I have learned in Photo Journalism-

1. I don't have to use a flash to take a great picture in poorly lit areas
2. Not everyone loves to have their picture taken
3. found out how to get better angles and what I should be looking for in an assignment

Negatives -

1. I wish I had more time to take care of all of my assignments
2. Want more practice on one specific assignment before moving on to the next

What I need to work on

1. Trying to find better angles
2. Sticking to the basic shots when on assignment (Wide, portrait, mid-shot, tight, detailed shot)
3. working with the lighting in different areas
4. figuring out how to work the camera a little better

The ways that I can improve the things that need improving is to remember what they are and try to improve. I also need to remind myself that the more I practice the better I will be. All I need to do is remember my weak points and work those in with my strong ones.
