5/29/2017 0 Comments Week 16PHase 4 updateWe went snorkeling on the 18th and went through bag footage, so I might have my final photo already. We plan on going snorkeling again on he 7th of June to see if we can get more/better shots now that we know what the water is like and what's below the surface. I want to get more shots of animals this time, because that's what I found the coolest about the underwater scenery. I forgot to write my reflective piece the first time, so I'm going to make sure I do it on the 7th. I also have to get through some more of my book. I'm really struggling with it because I think it's quite honestly the most boring book I've get read. I'm not used to non-fiction, but I'll never learn to love it if I won't try.

5/29/2017 0 Comments Week 15Above: my phase 3 photo Meeting Reflection:
When I went to my meeting, I already knew what I wanted to do. I planned to get underwater photography, write a reflective piece. I don't know what book to read but I figured Mike could help me find something. I had my proposal done and I brought it to get feedback to make sure my plan was secure. Mike and Andrew gave me good critique and asked questions to make sure my plan was fully though out. It helped me understand exactly what o should focus on and Mike helped me find Oceana, a book about ocean conservation. My meeting helped me make sure my plan was good, practical, and that it would be super rad. My final decision was to take go pro videos and take stills from those, to write a reflective piece and a poem about the experience, and to read Oceana by Ted Danson. 5/5/2017 0 Comments Week 14This week we went camping! My group got photos of the Milky Way galaxy with some landscape as well. We went to about 4 different locations to get photos: All the way across from our campsite, 2 destinations on a connecting bridge, and on a nearby hill. We had a 30 second exposure (which now that I think about it, might have been a bit too long) so we had to use a tripod to make sure the camera was steady. We also had to do our best to keep people from walking in front of our camera, which proved to be more of a challenge then I thought it would have been. I mostly helped make sure the camera was level, framed a couple shots, and kept people out of the shot. Other people in my group messed with the settings, as I'm sorta clueless when it comes to that kinda stuff. In all honesty, I didn't really get to do as much as I had hoped, but other people in my group had more of a vision than I did I guess and were mostly focused on their ideas. There are lots of great memories I made on this trip, but my favorite and one that I hope will stick with me is a story from our first night there. My group was waiting for 11:00pm to start taking photos, so to kill time we played a couple of rounds of uno and chatted. That's when a kid named David decided that he wanted to stay up till sunrise. He convinced my best friend, Maddie, and she managed to convince me and all my other friends to stay up as well. We all went on to take our photos. I drank a monster to stay up for our photos, Michelle went to sleep, and we all shivered until 3:00am when we were finished with our photos. I was 1000000% ready to sleep, but then David reminded me that we were staying up. Sunrise was at 6:00am, so we had some time to kill. Obviously that means we played more uno and talked about everything and nothing. It was really cold and we were all kinda tired and cranky, but we made it (Although Lourdes fell asleep a couple times so we had to wake her up.) 6:00 came, and if brought the LAMEST sunrise I have ever witnessed in my life. We were all lowkey mad at David (who swears he stayed up the whole time, but he totally took a nap before the sun stared coming up) but we also thought it was funny that we stayed up all night for a bad sunrise.
5/5/2017 0 Comments Week 13This week we mostly planned our hitlist for our Astrophotography camping trip, epoxied photo's, and had open work time. On Friday is when we made our tent groups, packing lists, and figured out supply's and food for our camping trip. It was probably not a great idea to leave all of that stuff till the last minute, but there's nothing we can do about it now. This week for both chemistry and humanities we focused on our photography hitlist for our camping trip. My group is gonna get pictures of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our object starts rising at 11:00pm and will be right aboive us at 3:00am, meaning between those times are our best chance to capture it. We have to be facing between East and North East and we'll locate the galaxy by finding the constellation Cygnus.
