This is what I learned from the last few classes. The best pictures only last for a moment in real life, but if you press that little button on your camera, this handful of technology will capture that one single moment and will turn it into an immortal piece of art.
The fourth week we checked out a webpage : http://www.digitaljournalist.org/issue0309/lm01.html
It was about photographs that have changed the world. The special thing about these pictures is that every one of them has its own unique story, full of emotions that you can almost grab just by looking at them. But there were also some images that personally just didn't tell me any kind of stories.
In the end of the lesson we got homework! We had to take photos with the title of contrast and context. Well I actually missunderstood the task, because I took pictures that had contrasting colors, while Mr. Godsave meant contrast in the meanings or symbols. The shoe, and my dog Zoey:
I also had to take a picture of a statue, so I took a picture of a frog sitting on a pot, which is probably smaller than 3 centimeters all together. I guess I managed to take a good macro picture of it since people were suprised when I told them how little the frog and the pot is in real life. 
The fifth week - which is the present - we watched some videos, that showed us some "magic tricks" of how to use photoshop, and change a picture into something completely different. The video was pretty long, and very precise by showing the whole procedure, which was a bit tiring to watch...can't imagin doing the same thing with a picture... but who knows maybe one day I will be doing twice as much work on a single photo. :) I think, I'd rather take a good picture, and do less correcting on it. Next week we will be going to Szabadság square to capture some moments of fall, maybe some urban stuff too, so I hope this will give me opportunity to make some intresting photographs! :)
