Last semester I took a photograph course at my university. The course was mainly about the basic skills of photograph, like how to use different camera settings, the rules of composition, and how to adjust the lighting. During the course we had both theoretical classes and practical seasons. In the theory classes the teacher showed us a lot of amazing photos and explained the techniques behind them. Then in the practical part we went outside to take pictures on campus. We were asked to practice different shooting methods and submit our scores for feedback. This course impressed me a lot because it opened a new world for me. Before taking this course I just took pictures casually and I just don’t know how to take beautiful pictures. But now I can use the skills I know to picture beautiful moments more effectively. It made me realize that photograph is not just pressing the shutter but an art form.
