Previously, I would take photos of interesting subjects and scenery around me with my phone, but I would not consider finding a good angle or getting the correct lighting, and the photos would also sometimes appear blurry or slanted to one side. After these lessons, the improvement shown in my photography is quite obvious.
For one of my photos that was selected for the exhibition, I made a deliberate attempt to get into a better position to take it. I would not have done such a thing in the past. Now, I look at my photo subjects from a renewed perspective.
I was really happy, but also a bit embarrassed for my photos to be on display! I never expected this was going to happen when I was taking the lessons, so I was shocked, but also feel very fortunate to have this exhibition specially done for us.

之前,我会用手机拍摄身边有趣的事物和风景,但我不会考虑寻找好的角度或获得合适的光线,有时照片还会显得模糊或倾斜。在上完这些课程后,我的摄影水平明显提高了。
在我的一张被选为展览作品的照片中,我特意尝试找到了一个更好的位置来拍摄。过去我是不会这样做的。现在,我从一个全新的角度看待我的拍摄对象。
看到我的照片被展示出来时,我既开心又有点不好意思!我从没想到在参加课程时会有这样的结果,所以感到很惊讶,但也非常幸运能有这个特别为我们举办的展览。
