Task #24: Animated Picture and Snow Photographs (Kim)

24.  Combine photographs to create an animated picture.

Our recent snow days have certainly hindered our upcoming Project Explore plans.  However, I have been using this time to experiment with my camera in the winter weather.  I was able to combine several shots of snow using a Google application to create an animated snow picture.

These are other pictures I took in recent snowstorms and wanted to share.

I must have fifteen photos of nearly this same picture.  I was working on my up-close photo capabilities and trying to really focus on part of the branch.

Another photo working on close-up focusing capabilities.

I experimented with different features on my camera to capture the snow.  High-speed worked well to capture it but often made my photos less focused.

Task #22: Snow Graffiti (Kim)

22.  Snow Graffiti

With the impending snowstorm Juno, I decided to look up non-traditional snow day activities.  Project Explore motivated me.  I tore myself from the Netflix and hot chocolate (after some shoveling this morning, of course) and went out there in the cold.  My neighbor Olivia DiMarco and I put food coloring and water in several spray bottles to make "snow graffiti".  A very unappreciated art form, in my opinion.

In the spirit of Project 52, we used the remainder of our food coloring to splatter colors around 52.  

Before we splattered the remainders of the solutions around it!

We also used sprinkles in the snow to fill in drawings.
