I am proud of taking this photograph towards the beginning of this semester because I feel that this reflects what I can take with just a phone pretty well. The context behind this photo consisted of my family stopping to take a break after a long car trip back from LA. We happened to stop near a beach and it was near sunset peak so me and my family were taking pictures near the beach. After examining this pick after such a long time, I realize that this could be fixed a lot more to look a lot better. To fix this, I could've took it with the rule-of-thirds so that it could look a lot more balanced. One way I could also fix this is by not leaving so much space because it really would make anyone's focus drag off the side of the photo. The photo doesn't focus on one focal point of this photograph and this is a major flaw. The lighting could have been focused a lot more rather than the darker tone of the photograph.
I think this photo really reflects my personal growth with taking photographs because I have gained a lot more experience and imagination when taking photos. I have learned to stand in the right places and also look for the right angles when taking photographs. This is a better photograph because it is a lot more stable with the lighting and also it has better focus and placement. This photo was taken in Santa Cruz, 2 months after the photo on the top was taken. Both photos were around the same time of day, but I found that this photograph was a lot better.

In the future years, I would like to keep practicing Digital Photography so I can get better and better at taking photographs. In the future, I hope to apply for a job where I am required to travel the world and take photos of various things. This is a job I want to pursue because it seems like something really fun and interesting to do. Taking photos everywhere I go is something I like to do and I feel that it is very easy to take photos like this on a regular basis. For now, I am planning to continue with taking exotic photos and adding them to this portfolio to build a photographic journal of my life.
