I think I did a pretty good job overall on my lighting assignment but I know that I would make changes to the way I took some of my pictures the next time. I received a lot of positive feedback and some negative feedback on my picture, in ways that could help me to next time to take a more successful shot and in ways that complimented my work. A lot of people said that for using a transparent object with direct lighting I captured the idea successfully. My classmates also said that my picture contained a lot of detail in the bottle which made it a nice and clear shot. I think that the critiques on my photo and on other peoples photos helped me understand the different types of lighting better and will help me from now on when I am taking my pictures in different lighting. When we were first given the assignment I thought it would not be as hard as it was because I figured taking pictures with light cannot be that hard, I was wrong, it was a challenge. I also think now that we took the time to critique everyone's pictures we got the chance to figure out easier ways to set up a scene so that we can more easily capture what we are trying to. From the project I discovered that the hardest type of lighting to take was definitely the silhouette photos and I found that majority of the class felt the same way and I though the easiest to take was probably the diffuse, especially with the winter conditions we have right now. Although silhouette was the hardest photos to take some of my classmates were very successful in taking some silhouette photos. Overall , after I was done and completed with the lighting project I would say that for the most part I liked it because it gave me a chance to learn a lot about taking pictures.
