WWW Photography at Highlands

Feature image: Me taking a photo of a stray dog by Lipton’s Seat, taken by Mr. Poulas  

 

During our WWW trip to highlands (see recent CAS blog), I took my old camera in hope to document some key moments on the trip. The camera quality isn’t took good sadly; as the model is over 10 years old! However, I am proud of many of the photos. In this blog ill show some of my favourite photos I took on the trip in chronological order and a short description for each picture. I will also discuss the learning outcomes.

I am really glad I was fortunate enough to go to  many amazing places during WWW which gave me the opportunity to document alot of the things I saw using my camera. I definitely improved my photography skills as you can see in the blog, as time went on I was becoming more aware of what makes a good photo, such as the composition, rule of 4ths, and lighting. This trip, and all the things I learned on it will now allow me to push my photography skills further, and be come more creative for the future. I would to take the experience I gained and use the skills in my arts class.
