Needed to bring in all my stuff, paper, supplies that will be handy for working in the lab. Set up both the BW and Digital Photo II lockers with those items.
Located, and I mean looked high and low for the original RAW files for those images I wish to present on Tuesday for potential use in the St. Charles County Art Council Exhibit. I have only three days to now re-evaluate my choices, see if the original TIFF files are worthy or should I redo them.
Post production work is always a process that shows visible improvement over time. Software improves, my personal learning of the use of the software improves [gosh I sure hope it does over time and repetitive use] and exposure to other's work and seeing what can be done is bound to sink in eventually.
What does not change I find is that if a photo is decent enough, it will hold up over time. It's essential elements should be present. It might be just a tweak of exposure in some dark shadow or a touch of vibrance or maybe a touch of dark vignette to frame the subject better.
My work is in front of me. I hope and truly believe that my best work is yet to come. I have seen good enough in the past when shooting to envision something and produce an image worthy of my vision. As I improve as I believe we all do [different timelines, different paces] I trust my ability to see things and then produce an image that depicts that vision will work.
My goal is to enjoy the process, not to rush thru it. Not that a grade is not important, I would not be human if I said it did not matter. It does, but I really want to learn more about how I approach my photography. Putting myself into my work. Finding the satisfaction in what I am doing and why I am doing it.
I hope this semesters classmates will share with me this passion and joy and we can have a great time doing what we all do best. Photog!
