Picture 1 for exchange

This picture was taken on a -31 degrees Celsius winter day, approximately 45 minutes away from our school in Red Rock. It is of my "Camp". In northern Ontario a Camp is a small house or cabin away from your real home. Usually located on a lake, or on a bush road, camp is a place to get away from the in town life and relax. My camp is located on lake Superior and is owned by my Mom's parents, my grandparents. Since the winter season in our area is so cold we only go to camp in the spring and summer months. The camp is enjoyed by all my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my Moms side of the family. What we do at camp consists of fishing, swimming, quading, and having saunas. I am assuming most of the people reading this know what a sauna is but for people who don't, a sauna is a small room with a special stove inside to get the room up to very high temperatures. We use the sauna in our bathing suits, and once hot or sweaty enough we jump into the cold water to cool down and run back into the sauna for warmth again. Having a sauna is one of the most relaxing and stress relieving activities you can do. "Quading" is what I call the use of 4 wheeled off road vehicles to go riding through trails, small creeks, and just go exploring. The reason i chose a picture of my camp is because i spend half of the year here since i was just a baby, and it is a very important piece of my life.

Angles & Different Positioning

This is an eye level angle photo, you can tell because the eyes are the center of the photo.

This is a low angled shot. I chose low angle over high angle, because I didn't want to stand on something and hurt myself in class.

This is an example of a oblique angle. I slanted the camera and Braiden tilted his head. 

This is an example of mega-zoom. I put the camera close to his face so the phone was touching his forehead.

Mozilla app maker first impression

For the last few days our class has been working with mozilla's app maker. When you first open the site you get to this page, and then you're on your own to navigate the site and make an app. When I got to this i had no idea what to do, then i noticed the demo video available in the top right of the screen. When you click this it brings you to a video that explains how to make a firework app. When i tried for some reason it did not work. In my opinion the app would be a lot easier to work if each widget on the left side had a small description on how they work, and their purpose to each app. Another way this app could be more use full is if there was another demo video on how to download the app onto your own devices. All in all this is a good base model site that has potential to be huge.

Nature walk

Today my media arts class went on a walk around the bush in Redrock taking pictures for #anfomhar. I used my yellow point effect on my camera and no more effects and this is how it turned out. Im pretty happy about it.
