Assignment Number One.

Assignment: Please write couple of paragraphs concerning what you know about photography and what you want to learn about photography.

I know photography is really pretty. And my favorite thing to photograph is sunsets. I know you can edit photos on the camera and even more advanced on the computer. There are also many things you can use to edit pictures. I think Polaroids are really really cool. I know there are a such thing as rule of thirds. I would like to learn how to take pretty pictures, how to edit them nicely, change eye colors, and use different brushes. And anything more you want to teach me!
