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.
