PANNING
One of my favorites photos from this class.
It was my first time panning and It was a really good and big experience and it had a very interesting effect.
The first few attempts all failed but finally I was able to get the panning picture about 1 out of 10 times.

CHANNEL INNER EGGLESTON
I did not know before that there were this many different objects around me. It was the best walking meditation that I had, although I did not go to a famous place. I tried many different things with one focal length. I tried different apertures, different shutter speeds, and different distances. Also, I kept looking up and down and tried various angles. Even though I used only one focal length, I was able to take pictures with various expressions and enjoy the walking meditation.

THE ART OF SEEING
I was a little surprised and shocked at the first try because I couldn't take more than 3-4 photos.
Most people, including me, walk through a large area and search for a favorite scene but in this condition (my foot anchored on this exact spot), it was very limited. I thought my view angles are very narrow.
During this assignment, I had taken hundreds of photos and practiced tirelessly.

VIEWPOINT
It was a new experience to see more details than I saw before. usually, people just look up to see the building forest but I searched for a forest of buildings reflected in the pond to change my viewpoint. I able to feel that something was being trained and polished. I thought it was the result of repeated training while carrying out the assignments so far.

LIGHT PAINTING
Light painting was a really great experience never experienced before. It can be used in many fields. Light seems easy to understand, but it is really difficult as well. It seems that the beginning and the end of photography is the understanding of the light. Mastering the types and properties of light will take a very long time and experience.

FINAL REFLECTION
My first camera was a small film camera that my father gave me when I was in middle school. I love classic old cameras and lenses so I like to collect a camera equipment. also, I often traveled overseas for my work and always carried my camera to go to beautiful places whenever I had a chance to take photos.
I have experienced camera equipment for a long time technically but I was just an amateur in the aesthetic photography. I didn't have a chance to learn about photography and I always thought that it was a little difficult.
My goal of this course was to learn the skills covered in using all shooting modes on DSLR camera: exposure, composition and lighting, and to learn to edit photos, color correction, import, export with a metadata, captions and digital workflow management through Lightroom. overall, I wanted to develop the aesthetic photography.
I am positive that I went through a big change through this class compared to me before. before, I had disheveled theory, informal management for digital workflow, not uniform when creating photos, no copywriter, and no watermark. but, at the end of this class, I learned many things and I have clearly improved my photography level.
In the future,
I had a new experience through this class and I saw new things for the aesthetic photography I haven't seen before. but, I think my photography level is still a long way to go up so I have to study more and more to develop the aesthetic photography. I want to make more aesthetic, technical and systematic photography. especially, I have interest in storytelling photography.
