Describe a moment and analyze: “Write about a single experience or moment, and ask: how does this moment, experience, or encounter relate to my essential question?”

 

At the start of senior project I went to Powder Mountain in Utah. One evening I took a walk with some friends to a lookout. When we arrived we were blessed with a sunset over Utah’s mountain range. I took out my camera and started taking pictures. As I was shooting I kept feeling like I was missing the fine details of what I was shooting. I needed to adapt to my environment. As I continued shooting I messed around with my settings to adapt to the environment I was in.  At that moment I realized how important it is to know your camera. My essential question is meant to serve as a guide to take images that have meaning. At this moment I encountered my essential question straight on and since then I have been aware of it every time I take a photo.
