Week 3- Progress is Being Made!

First of all, I want to tell you all how thankful I am that we had a four day weekend!  Thanks to this amazing, long weekend I was finally able to go out and take more pictures and videos.  I spent a couple of days getting the shots that I wanted, and I think they turned out pretty great! Since the weather was beautiful, I was able to take some nice landscape pictures and videos.

One thing I learned this week, was that the sun makes a big difference when you take a picture.  If you look at an object with a camera with the sun behind it, the object will appear very dark and unrecognizable.  I was able to take pictures at different angles and avoid this problem, but if need be, I can take the pictures at a different time of the day.

Moving objects are also hard to capture.  We moved cows this weekend, so I brought along my camera and tried to take some pictures of our cows and calves.  I had some luck, but I wish I was able to take some better pictures of them.  I believe if I had a better camera with a good lens and fast shutter speed, I would be able to take great pictures of things in motion, but for the time being, I am pretty happy with my pictures.

I am still struggling with the videos, mainly because I believe they all look very similar, just of different objects.  However, I have come to the conclusion that this is probably because most of my videos are of either buildings or landscape shots.  There are only so many ways to take a video of the countryside, but I will see if I can come up with anything different.

Overall, I am really happy with my current results, and I'm having a lot of fun trying new things.  I am beginning to get quite the collection of pictures and videos, and can't wait to show them all to you when I complete my documentary!
