Work, projects, and basically anything else I do in class
(Not just about space)
For this project I decided to take pictures of nature with a lens to see the small things we don't see. I took a picture of a flower first and then a rolly polly. The flower looked very beautiful, you could clearly seethe way the inside looked and how it had so much detail. For the rolly polly I was just taking pictures of it rolled up in a ball, but I wanted more. I wanted to get a shot of the rolly polly opening up. This was hard to do because the rolly polly would open up to quickly and try to crawl away. Then after so many tries I got the perfect photo. The lens I used was really simple to use. you just clip it in front of your camera and then take a picture. The shape of the lens is a dome, there fore the center of the image is always clear and magnified while the surrounding is a bit blurry. These types of lenses are mostly used in astronomy that is why they are given the name Whole-Sky Lens. If I were to do this experiment again I would find more small things to take a picture of a come out with some really nice ones. Also I would try to take a video with the fisheye lens. Overall this was pretty cool lab and it made me start to think how and who would think to make a device like this. The generation we live in is pretty great sometimes.

Nice pictures. I am still wondering about what you found out about seeing the subjects you captured in a closer manner. What questions came up and what did you learn as a result of those wonderings? How about some background information also - what is a roly poly, really? What flower did you capture?
