               During this project, my photo shoot went well and I did not have to go  back retake my photos. However, putting all the photos and sorting them was a definite challenge. Next time, I will probably take more photos of a larger range and I will not take so many photos that overlap too much. In the process of creating, I just used the basics of Photoshop like the select tool and grouping layers. I can use these techniques in a career later in life or just to show people what I saw in one picture rather than 20 or more.

            In my first photo shoot, I did well on darkening and contrasting the pictures to how I wanted them to look. I had difficulty in trying not to make the pictures not overdone and adding too much light, darkness, sharpness, etc. Next time, I might take some more interesting photos so that some of the pictures would not be so boring. I used levels, curves, burn, dodge, and the sharpen tool in my pictures. I can use these techniques in correcting my own photos (selfies, family photos, etc.).
