3/12/2017 0 Comments Week 8This week we planned our field trips for our landscape photos. Maddie, Lourdes, Dani, Tiera, and I went to Cowles Mountain and we plan to go again next weekend for even more photos. We also developed photos. Andrew bought more chemicals for our developer, and it ended up being slightly different than the one we were used to working with. Because of this, we had to figure out the problem and adjust what we were doing. We learned we had to expose the photos for a couple second longer, and keep the photo in the developer for longer. A problem we haven't solved yet is an issue with brown spots appearing on our photos. We don't know what's causing the issue as of now, so ext time we'll pay extra attention to try to pinpoint the issue. In Andrew's we're developing independent projects. A group of my friends and I decided that we wanted to make bath bombs. Bath bombs interest me a lot, because I have no idea what makes them fizz or what makes them hold their shape. I'd like to learn what causes the bath bomb's reaction to water, and learn how to form them correctly because from what I understand that's very important to the functionality of the bath bomb. Linked below is our project proposal. In Mike's, we were asked to write a 250-350 word essay about a panorama photo of our choice. I chose the above photo of Yosemite. Below the divider is my 250 word essay. In this photo of Yosemite, I see very vibrant colors. The trees and other plants stand out against the grey of the mountains and blue of the sky. I like how you can see all the distant mountains. I think it’s cool that you can see the texture of the jagged points fade away. I love all the details in the plants and mountain ridges. I think I like this so much because makes me think of a Bob Ross painting, due to how beautiful it is. The composition and depth of field is perfect for this photo. The fade of the sky into the mountains, and the mountains into the trees make the picture feel very clear and coherent. I think I was attracted to this photo because I love color, and the way colors clash and complement each other. There's lots of green in this photo, but I think the neutral greys and browns of the rocks and mountains balance it out, along with the bright blue sky. Speaking of the sky, the mountain peaks and clouds add a little bit of texture to break up the brightness and solidness of the sky. Another reason I feel like this picture is very well taken and beautiful is because there's not necessarily a particular subject, so your eyes get to wander and take in the whole photo. There's nothing specific to focus on, and I think that allows you to take in more of the details of the photo.
