weekly reflection

Today Unlike other weeks I was doing more on my own and also being more independent.  This meant doing research that I enjoyed Also I had more time to explore and go out and photograph. I did research on photographers that I looked up too and how they work and how they make there living doing photography. For some, it is not the main source of income and for others it is. It is always a good week when you get to admire and look at great works by this top photographer in my find. Also, it gives me the change to see what I need to improve on and how I can better tell the story that needs to be told.  The world has story and they need skilled and ethically strong people to tell them fairly and honestly. At the rate that we are going we are going to need people to educate and fight for the many endangered species and also the human-wildlife interaction that is going on every day, need to be talked about. It is better to fight then just let them go extinct. I would not like to live in a

Today I had the chance to go out and photograph wildlife and I also try to get some photos of the sunrise. I was able to get some very nice photos of some barn swallows but the sunrise was not in the right please and that photo just did not work out. Wildlife photography gives you a glimpse into the world of wildlife and also can tell their story and get people to care and want to save wildlife and also show that they are not that different from us.  We live in a world that we want to divide we should try to come together. Also, photos do not have a language they can tell a story all around the world with the meaning being lost.

I looked at some of the top nature photographers in the world. This is the people that shape and are laying the foundation for the next generation of photographers. They would include Paul Nicklen, and Frans Lanting and many more. I looked at the projects that they are working on and also how they used their social media following to impact or change the world or is it just to show photos. People with the massive following using one or two photos can impact the lives of thousands of people. Take the photo of the dying polar bear or the dead polar bear, they both raised a lot of awareness for their cause. Photo my Zachary Webster

Today I Looked at adult photo programs that I enjoy or that I know are good and try to take their model and use it as the base for a youth program. The adult programs are almost always better the youth one so it would be great to have some carryover and see some of what makes the adult program great come to the youth programs. One of those aspects is the level of freedom. The programs that I used for inspiration was Nature scapes and Dan Cox photography.  photo my Zachary Webster

Today I worked on formatting my research and making sure that it looked great and that it was early to understand and also to get all the important information at a glance. The way that I did this was to first make a list of the major points, after that I then done into the specifics of each and all of the number and details. I look good and you can glace over it and understand everything. This is important because if you can summarize it can be hard to read 4 pages of information that is not really important to the overall point you are making.  by Zachary

Today I went out and try to find foxes and warblers to photography. This entailed waking up early about 4am, to get into position about 5:30 for sunrise. Sadly there was no foxes insight and the warblers were too high in the trees to get good photos of them. We think that the foxes got scared and when underground that is why we did not find them. Also, the warblers were high done the lack of wind. Overall it was great to get out and shot instead of working. This is what you can get when you get lucky and find warbler and foxes. So cute!!

Day 10

Today I finished the senior project requirements. Today I put the final touches on the all of the projects for Steve. Even though I am not finished within until the 28 of May. I checked my research and also all of the number that I have and just the overall formatting of it. I also worked on preparing to deliver all of nature and knowledge that I have gathered. This has been a great time and I have learned a lot about how different groups use social media and also how different groups have photo program and how good each of them is. Also, take a careful look at how different places are protecting wildlife.
