Week 7

Last weeks topic was small trees. It was interesting taking pictures of the small plants that we could find in our back yards or our front yards. Now, this week we're going to take picture of coins! Did you guys know that most coins can circulate for about 25 years before they become too worn to be used anymore? Me and my group will take a picture of what coins look like up close and we'll see what we can find. I'm excited to take a picture of a penny with macro lens because i bet i will find something really small sticking on it like peoples skin or something. Me and my group decided also that we should also get some different coins like Chinese coins and Filipino coins and see the differences with them. We're also going to compare which coin looks dirtier up close with these macro lenses. I can't wait for this since i actually have a lot of coins in my drawer.

Week 6

Last weeks topic was about flowers. Now, this week our topic will be about plants. Did you know that the world's tallest-growing tree is the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens: It's scientific name), which grows along the Pacific Coast of the United States, mainly in California. Interestingly enough, it's not the world's oldest-growing tree. Me and my group will take pictures of different kind of trees, or like what people don't notice in trees. We'll also try to take pictures of the insects or type of animals that lives inside the tree, and try to name what kind of tree it is. We'll also make sure to find some small trees like sapling and look up what kind of tree it will be in a couple of years. Me and my group will not just look for any tree that wee see everyday, we'll take close pictures of trees like oak trees and or like willow trees. Some trees that most people don't see everyday.
