Three things that I will take away from this class:

1. How to use lightroom, and if the photo begins to feel unnatural take a break and come back to it later.
1. Will might likely continue take photos and expanding my use of lightroom.
2. The basics of what draws attention in a photo
1. Using the Rule of Thirds, the colors that will pop or being light instead of dark, then of course bright and sharp photos.
3. What angles and things can be cut out or included for the best photo. 
1. Like when to include the whole tree or when to be artistic with the photographs. 

10 Tips For Top Photo Sharpness

This article was from Outdoor Photographer. It explains how to capture images to insure they are as sharp and clear as possible. It explains that within nature photography you usually want to capture clean images. This is for the photographer and also if they are for sale to be appealing to potential buyers. Depending on what you are trying to capture will change the focus of your settings. But always keep in mind all aspects to get the best image possible. Use of a tripod is one of the most helpful tool to get the most steady image. Try to make sure your equipment is the best possible or the correct things for the image that you are trying to create. Computer programs can help a bit but do not rely on them. But also know how to handle your camera and the other equipment to help with steadiness. Then just print for sharpness like we did for the gallery. Do not stretch an image more then it should go and its okay to do a smaller scale in the quality will be better.
