Photo Editing








3/30/2015

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

Yes I completed the photo scavenger hunt.  I was able to capture lots of fun photos of interesting items.  I did all of my photos at school.

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I know that cameras take photos.  I know very little about photo editing because I never edit mine.  I take photos everyday though because they capture memories.  Most of the time, I take photos with my phone, but sometimes I take photos with a camera when on vacation with my family.  I don't post very many photos on social media and the most I have done to edit one would be cropping it.  I don't care much about photography as a career so I possess little interest in it at this time.  Photography, to me, is just a way to capture memories.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

I stayed in town for Spring Break, but I still had a lot of fun.  I got my new car after I was rear-ended.  It was quite a hassle because the guy we were dealing with through craigslist wasn't very well-prepared and it took a lot more time than it should have.  On St. Patrick's Day, I had green pancakes for breakfast.  Finally, I had a soccer tournament at the Overland Park Soccer Complex.  It was fun to play soccer, but half of my team was out of town because it was Spring Break and we lost our games because of that.

What are you doing for Spring Break?

I am staying at home for most of spring break, but I will be going to Silver Dollar City for two days with my dad.  I will be working on the weekends reffing soccer and will probably hang out with friends most of the break.  Because my car was rear-ended, I will also be looking for a new car on craigslist. Overall, I look forward to relaxing over spring break and taking it easy.

Tell me about your weekend.

This weekend was very hectic.  It started off with Relay for Life which was a ton of fun.  I saw all my friends and had a really good time, but I left early because I had to referee soccer the next day.  I got to do two centers for some very boring, small-field games.  My mom and my sister left for their cruise on Saturday and will be gone for an entire week.  On Sunday, I did yard work and chores.  My dad and I went to look at a 2005 Honda Civic because my Infiniti G20 got rear-ended and is most likely totaled.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

I wouldn't change very much because our school is already quite studious.  The teachers are great and do their jobs well because they care about the students.  I would only change the WiFi and what you can access on the WiFi.  I would put a shorter leash on it because most kids are well-behaved and don't do inappropriate stuff online.  The school already has a great atmosphere so I would most likely keep doing what Mr. Bacon is doing.

List out 10 pieces of advice you would give someone on how to create an amazing presentation.

1. Only use a necessary amount of slides: only use as many as needed for your information.
2. Don't try to cram too much information into one slide: too much information can be overwhelming
3. Put some visuals on your slides to make it more appealing: people will fall asleep if your presentation is boring
4. Add repetition for important topics: repetition helps things stick better in people's memories
5. Summarize information rather than putting it down word-for-word: put it in your own words because it will be easier to understand
6. Create one that is unique and different from other peoples:  It will make it stand out more
7. Have confidence in what information you put on your slides: If you aren't confident about your information, then your presentation will be weak
8. Have good transitions between slides: makes it more interesting
9. Make text and visuals as large as possible to draw attention to them
10. Highlight what you are talking about: Shows the more important parts of your presentation

This weekend was was uneventful, but I got to see my grandmother in her nursing home because it was her birthday.  I went to the store to get candles for her since she was turning 81 and when I went to check out the lady asked me "Oh, who is turning eighteen?"  My response was switch those numbers around and she returned with a quizzical look on her face.  It was very amusing.  My soccer tournament was canceled because of the snow again and I had to shovel the drive way.
