Today my mentor came over to my house and reviewed some basic information that I learned from the last session. After a bit of reviewing, we went to my backyard where we put the camera to some good use. My mentor gave me a good half an hour mastering some techniques into taking some pretty cool pictures. It took me quite the time though to figure out how to balance out the lighting when I was standing in a sunny side. After that, my mentor showed me how to change the shutter speed of a camera. This gives the camera to take an action shot, like a picture of someone jumping. This pretty much tested my reaction skills, because I had to take the picture at the right timing, or else the picture would look really awkward. After fooling around with that, I decided to drive down to Orange park to review some technique work I've learned with the camera that day. I pretty much just walked around the park taking pictures of different areas. I think my photography skills are improving bit by bit, but I still got a long way to go!

Great Way to Start the Project!
Today was the first hour I completed for my Capstone Project! I went out to Skyline College to get a nice scenery of the pacific ocean and the environment around me. I probably spent a good half an hour there taking some photos and getting use to the camera. It's a lot of work at first trying to adjust the camera to take a picture, but it was a great first experience!
Later on today, I had the chance to meet up with my mentor. She gave me some notes on basic vocabulary about photography and it's function. These three words all had to do with adjusting the camera to different lighting, so that it would be easier to take a photo. At first it was quite a challenge to adjust the Aperture for the lighting (controls how much light comes in through the lens.) Overall, I'm really excited to go more in depth with the use of a camera! This is going to be a really fun project.
