Day Twenty-Eight: pictures

Hey guys! It's totally the next day after my last post. I am super good at completing the goals I set out for myself, and thirty days is a completely manageable time frame in which to complete something!

Ahem. Excuse #1: I moved and started a new job. Excuse #2: I only got a camera yesterday. And here's what I did with it!

This is outside my classroom. I have the best view in the entire world.

Then I used Picasa from Google to make it more blue and also increased the saturation. From what I can tell, increasing the saturation makes the colours stand out more. (Don't quote me on that. I don't know anything about photography or free programs you can download to edit your pictures. Mostly I'm just like, "Hm, I'll slide around this little knobby and see how it makes my picture different!")

Then I decided that I didn't really like the playground on the side, or the apartment buildings, so I cropped it.

And there it is. I don't know - I was all super keen to get a camera so I could take pictures of how beautiful it is here, but I quickly came to realize that if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a camera, what you see and what you capture on digital film is not the same. Oh well, at least I was creative! Yay, me!

Day Twenty-Eight Highlights: finally taking pictures of my spectacular view.

Day Twenty-Eight Lowlights: figuring out photo editing programs, trying to compress pictures, lacking follow-through.

Tomorrow: more pictures, probably! I might just take a bunch tomorrow and the pretend it was spread out over a few days, since I thought that this post would be day twenty-nine. WILL THIS NEVER END.
