“Well, we have reached the end of the course. I hope you have learned a lot and that now, every time you go out to take pictures, you have trained your eye to discover the best light with the best framing. Before saying goodbye I want to make a brief review of the knowledge we have learned throughout the different teaching units: - In the first place we have known more in depth two masters of photography that inspire me such as Francesc Catalá Roca and Julius Shulman. - Then we have reviewed the types of cameras that exist, their advantages, the accessories available in the market and how to plan a shot. Remember to imagine the picture you want to make before leaving, for this it is vital to prepare the departure with travel guides, for example. - Next we have analyzed the light and how it behaves throughout the day and depending on different weather conditions to learn how to get the most out of it. We have also learned to compose the plane through the frame and its rules. - Later we have discovered how to photograph with camera and mobile and the differences between one and the other. - Finally we have gotten fully into the editing of images reviewing basic concepts of retouching and viewing different tools, for computer and tablet. Do not forget to share your ideas, doubts and advances in the forum of the course and I hope that you have enjoyed the experience as much as I have. A greeting!”
