Recently, the photo class and I went to Old Sacramento for the day. During the time that we were there I decided to focus on Portraits. As you can see it was such a success for me. The setting others see in Old Sacramento is completely different from the eye of a photographer. There was amazing lightning but on the downside, I had to make a few mistakes before I could finally realize which proper ISO should be used. On this trip we wandered around letting us students get a feel of the place and allow us to pick the best fitting theme for ourselves as young photographers. Overall it was such a great time but an even better experience. I really enjoyed myself. Not to mention the fact that because of this field trip, I now can see that I HAVE improved and came a long way from when I first entered photo 1.
