Well I am officially finished my Passion Project! I just
thought I would blog about a few couple of things.
Class Presentation
Yesterday I presented my project to my class. I thought that
everything went really well. I talked about how I got my Nikon D3200, how I
really enjoy this camera and I feel confident on how to use my camera after
this project. I talked about how I
completed my goal by learning 15 different types of photography and how I took
5 different pictures for each type of photography that I learned about, and how
I posted all 75 of my pictures on my Flickr account. I also talked about some
of the biblical through lines that we have been learning in my bible class. I
haven’t talked about the through lines on my blog yet so I thought I would talk
about them later on in this blog post. After talking about the through lines, I
showed 15 of my pictures. I got a lot of compliments from my friends, which I
was very happy about! J I then summarized what I learned through this
project. I learned more about the rule of thirds, what to focus on in certain
pictures and what to blur, how to edit my pictures, to always take a lot of
pictures and to always have fun when taking pictures! Obviously I learned WAY
more then that, but only had 5 minutes to present so I couldn’t explain
everything. On each of my blogs I wrote in point form about all the things that
I learned about the type of photography that I focused on so if you’re
interested in all that I learned about photography you should check them all
out! At the end of this presentation I talked about how this successful this
project was. I talked about how happy I am with my camera, how I learned how to
take some nice pictures and that I honestly had a lot of fun! It ended up being
a lot of work, but it was all worth it. I’m excited to use all the stuff that I
learned through out this year with my camera. 
Biblical Through
Lines
The biblical through lines is something that my grade 11
bible teacher has been talking to my class about. There are 10 different
biblical through lines. They are God worshipping, idolatry – discerning, Earth
- Keeping, beauty creating, justice - seeking, creation – enjoying, servant –
working, community – building, image – reflecting, order – discovery. I picked
2 of the through lines to describe my project. I chose Beauty Creating and
Creation – enjoying. I think that both of these through lines have something in
common. They both talk about reflecting on the beauty of the earth and
appreciating everything God has made and created for us humans to enjoy. Many of my picture projects involved taking
pictures outside. Even though it was freezing most of the time I went outside,
I really enjoyed this part of the project. Sometimes I would just fall into the
snow and look at everything around me and think how pretty everything looked around
me. And I got to capture all of those pretty things that God has given us with
my camera and that was a huge part of my project. Without everything God has
given us my pictures would look pretty awful! This project allowed me to appreciate
and really see all the beauty that God has made and for this I am grateful.
Mentor
I was supposed to have a mentor for this project. I talked
to my computer teacher Mr. Toews and asked if could help me out if I ever
needed any. He agreed willingly. I never ended up needing him for anything
though. My main help was the Internet. I learned all of my facts about the
types of photography that I learned about through different photographer’s
blogs and websites. I would kind of consider my sisters as my mentors as well
though. They helped me decided on what pictures I should take and how I should
take them. They also helped a lot in setting things up, being my models and
holding things into place while I took pictures. A big shout out to them
couldn’t of done this project without you guys!
Resources
At the end of each blog post I put a link to the websites I
used to research that type of photography. I suggest you check them out; they
are really cool and helped me a lot!
Flickr Account
I was hoping to get a lot of feedback from people on Flickr.
I was hoping that people would give me suggestion on how to make my pictures
look better, but all I got was a bunch of compliments. Which of=f course was
nice to get! But it wasn’t exactly what I was aiming for. If you have a Flickr
account please check out my account! My account name is raychel.algera@gmail.com. Please
leave comments and tell me what you think of all my pictures! If you don’t have
a Flickr account but want to look at all my pictures here is the link to my
account. You should be able too view them all without having to make an
account. http://www.flickr.com/photos/108981174@N05/sets/
