Cameras

With digital photography, we can add pictures of what we are seeing. So far we have only added pictures that were taken by the computer. We need to practice adding pictures taken by the camera. Mr. Ozias has been showing us the settings on our cameras so that we can get the best quality of pictures. This is really important because if I want a picture of a person, I want them to be in focus, not the background. But if I want to take a picture of the pyramids, I would rather they be the focus, not the guide in front of them. I have homework to do on practicing the various settings instead of always using "auto." A lot of learning will go on as we travel starting with our preparation.

We have a layover in Paris, France. The airport is far away from downtown, so we are not sure how much we can see, but if the pictures don't look like Egypt, that may be the reason why.

Off to learn more and more.... Au revoir, mes amis.

Learning about Blogs

We are spending our lunch times in computer class with Mr. Ozias, learning how to set up and use our new Blog site.

Now we are learning how to use our cameras most effectively, so that we don't miss a single photo opportunity.

Preparing technology

Good thing we have Mr. Ozias to give us hints as to what to do on the computer. We are going to try to keep a blog of our adventures. Maybe, if we remember how, we will even put in pictures so you know what we are up to. Mrs. Calderwood and Mrs. Meabon would never take any silly pictures, so be ready for serious stuff only.


This is our first blog, and our first picture. Please notice how serious we are.
