Meeting 6

10.20.16

From the hours of: 1:00-2:30

Don't worry, I'm not skipping school! Since my fourth block class in an online course, I am allowed a senior privilege of not attending during fourth block without being counted absent. I went to East Mooresville Intermediate School with one of my friends to help her set up and then I proceeded to take pictures of her Capstone Project and her project product. During the hour and a half that I spent here I took candid shots of the sixth grade students and Alexia Martin (who did her project on art murals) working and painting their hands on the circular globe that she made. Since the photos were completely indoors, the lighting was a little bit off because of the fake fluorescent lighting in the classroom. However, for the entire time I used my 50mm lens which has an aperture of 1.8 (which is the lowest possible on that lens) which allowed my camera to have a larger depth of field but also allow in more light for the photo. This aperture setting was super helpful when looking at the photos, because when compared to photos where the aperture setting was higher than 1.8 the photos were more yellow and not as good looking. I really do think that the hour and a half that I spent at EMIS taking pictures for my friend's capstone project was a complete success. It was awesome to see another high school student working on her capstone project diligently and so creatively.
