I found that I enjoyed taking photos on the beach in Carlsbad the most. There was a lot of pretty scenery to capture, and a variety of subject matter. I did not enjoy taking photos in and around the school quite as much. My pictures tended to come out more dull and they all looked the same, especially since it was cloudy during most of my time during class to take pictures. Looking for specific elements did improve my photos, as before I would simply take pictures of something that looked interesting without much thought being put into it, which would make my pictures look more random. I found Lightroom to be pretty easy to pick up, and I like how simple the user interface is once you learn the basics.
