OK. So far, my class of morning wonders have produced very little. I have had one person answer the question that was on the board (I think it was you, Kira. I'll publish it after everyone else answers it.) and one person that has sent me one (very nice) photo and reflection of what we did yesteday (Tuesday). I have yet to see your best circle.

So, now I play hardball. You guys have until Friday to get this done and up on your blog. What I need to see is this:

1. Picture of your best circle from that first day you guys  had the camera. I know that Will and Goss have great ones. I want to see those posted along with what the rest of you.

2. The answer to the question that was up on the whiteboard (high tech stuff) which was a bit of review from the day before. What are three factors that you control on the camera settings that impact your camera's exposure to light? (The question is phrased a little differently. I'm at home and can't remember exactly what I drew.

3. Six jpgs from yesterday's adventures at the high school.

  • One with the shutter at high speed. 
  • One with the shutter at low speed with the aperture at the same setting as the high speed photo.
  • One with the fstop at a high number (what does that mean about the aperture?)
  • One with the fstop at a low number and the shutter speed the same.
  • One with the ISO at 100
  • One with the ISO at 800 or 1600.


Reflect on what you observed about each photo, whether you like it or not and why. (Brenden did a beautiful job on this. Check it out at http://ipadsavailable.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-picture-of-cafeteria.html

I've attached a rubric for you guys so you know what I'm looking for. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns either in class or via e-mail.
DVCI: Tell me what are three factors that you can control in the camera to affect the amount of light that hits the camera's processor. (In the old film cameras, the "processor" would be the film.)

Last time today. Really, the only way I can figure out how to email to you all to alert that there is a new post is to go into the old interface and type the e-mail into the notifications panel. We'll do it tomorrow. If any of you guys figure out how to get it done in the new interface, please let me know.
This post is another test. Let's see if this works.

Figuring This Out as We Go

This post is a test. I want to see if my ehornets account gets notified that I posted this. If it works, I'll be a happy camper in class tomorrow.
