My four photos captured our field trip to Semiahmoo Park, my favorite field trip in the quarter. It was nice to have many elements to work with on our camera, like adjusting ISO, working with larger lends, and seeing so many pretty views. This location offered us many different subjects to shoot and gave us a variety of scenes. 

Because of how sunny the day was, I struggled with overexposure in most of my photos. I cannot remember adjusting my light settings or the ISO, therefore I was more than likely using the wrong settings for this type of location. 

Another critique was that my camera lens had a smidgeon it, which you could see in the photos. Due to this, I had to crop the photos so they were not viewable but in doing so, I lost some of the visual. For future field trips, I will clean my lens before taking photos. 

The last critique was made by viewing my eagle photo. My camera cannot zoom very close to subjects, and therefore, the visual of the bird is small in comparison to the rest of the photo. I wish I had brought a larger lens that would have allowed me to zoom closer to my subject. However, I like how the picture captured the blue sky and the tree the eagle was sitting on. 

I love that these photos captured the overall vibe of the field trip, and look as if there was a filter over them.

 Nature is all around us! A camera is an incredible tool that not only captures what we see, but helps us to see more.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then an image can make valuable contribute to our understanding of an organism, inspire people to action, or make  someone smile. This blog will be a place for us to share our photos and our reflections about them.

Nature in My Neighborhood - Aubyana

Image
  There exists a stark contrast between the neighborhood I live in now, tucked along the edge of Garden Street, and the impoverished, subjugated area I once called home in Tacoma. My old neighborhood was a place where wildlife struggled to survive, and even if it had thrived, it would have still been inaccessible. The streets were more often filled with the remnants of human activity than the signs of nature. An occasional dog would wander the alleys. Sometimes, the aftermath of raccoons would leave a trail—scraps of trash scattered across the concrete, a testament to their nocturnal scavenging. Living in a place like this taught me how to hold immense gratitude for nature, unders tanding that the wealthy and middle classes tend to have more access, snow sports and family vacations that I would never experience myself. This motivated me to carve out time and seek out natural beauty, waterfronts and forest days that I prioritized. I feel immense privilege in having transitioned t...
