Week 9: March 29- April 1

This week was a very informative week as far as photography was concerned. We learned a lot about an Optical Digital Zoom

We learned that optical zoom are lenses that have many focal lengths within their zoom range, and that digital zoom is basically cropping a photo- making it smaller to only include what you want it to, and therefore an optical zoom is better because the resolution will be better. And then there is the Telephoto Lens, which is in which the physical length of the lens is shorter than the focal length of the lens.

The top ten tip of the week for taking better photos was "lock the focus", and so we looked into depth of feild, and how to make an object stand out by using focus. (* for a photo example, please see the post "Photography TIPS!".

I began typing out some of the things for the Grad spreads this week, but I couldn't actually start with them until Wade finished converting them to CMYK instead of RGB, which they were in. This week I also gave Mr. Wrigley the idea of doing a photo montage for class as part of an assignment (which was turned into an assignment, where we had to pick our favourite photos and turn them into a "photo template" on inDesign - some of them look really good!

This week we also critiqued the Earth Hour photos as a class, and explained why a good photo is good, or why a bad photo was bad. I found that out of the entire class, I take the most photos! I learned to take a ton of photos because as statistics show, only one in ten photos is good. (or use-able, for whatever it was taken for).

NOT in class this week, I applied for close to a million scholarships (and will hopefully recieve one, or two!), and worked on things for Soothfest (which is an acting festival for youth, located here, at Korah). I am in one play directed by Dan O'Brien for Soothfest (Impromptu), and I am co-directing one play with Mrs. Gasparelli (Picture Perfect). I found out that I'm making the programmes and posters for both shows! Yay!

Tomorrow is Good Friday, which means NO SCHOOL! I get to work on stuff at home, like cleaning, and dry-walling, maybe if I'm lucky I'll get to hang out with some friends.. who knows!?

More Later!
