From my last skills check, my portrait photos has improved significantly, it has much better lighting and it fits the rule of thirds, as it is centered and the eyes are on the top third. My still life has also improved because it actually looks like a still life image.

From last skills check, I noticed that I have began applying more and more of the camera functions into my photographs. For example, my last skills check didn't contain any depth of field, but these photographs do. For future skills check, I plan on working an experimenting more with ISO and other camera functions.
Skills Check Reflection:
The most significant change in this skills check is my portrait picture. The portrait project taught me a lot and allowed me to take real composed portrait pictures. In comparison to my third skills check, like mentioned above, I improved on my portrait picture. I also improved on my landscape image. For this skills check, my landscape photograph is a lot more dramatic and uses more of the composition rules, like the rule of thirds. In comparison to my first skills check, everything improved significantly. On my first skills check I did not know anything about photography. In class, I learned what a portrait is and in this skills check I was finally able to take a real portrait image, instead of what I thought was a portrait. My landscape image improved a lot because I learned which angles captured a landscape better and the rule of thirds helped me present it so overall the landscape was done justice by the camera. Overall, I've improved on everything. I have learned how to handle a camera and use angles and perspective, as well as rule of thirds to take better photographs. I would still like to improve on lighting and depth of field. Lighting is a really hard thing to control, but more practice with reflectors would help. I also need to work on using Photoshop more so I can adjust colors and fix depth of field. In class, we learned a lot on how to take good portraits, so I see improvement there. I want to improve on my still life pictures, I feel like I need to put more planning in those. My landscape images have always been decent photographs. For next skill check I want to go out of my way to photograph a really beautiful landscape. From my 2nd skill check, I improved on mostly the portrait image. It has the same subject, so it has the same tone with the lighting, etc. but for this image it is straightened, which makes it look cleaner. I'm most proud of the free photo because the image is centered, but the hand is coming from the left, so it still has a hint of the rule of thirds. Overall, I want to improve on my still life images.
