In Module 6 our exercise was to retake photos that were taken in the previous module and improve the shot. This was a challenge because sometimes it is difficult to capture that similar image you intended. One of my retakes actually made the original look nicer. However, one of the other retakes was much improved from the original. For this first photo of the portfolio I chose the best one from the set of retakes. The photo I chose was this photo of the Willis Tower from a neighborhood view. It was taken in the early evening before sunset and from the southern side of the tower. It was taken from the Bridgeport neighborhood. I was fortunate to be able to capture this photo on a day that was not so hazy. It had been hazy most days and would have made it difficult to obtain a clear image. In this image I wanted to capture an angle that most individuals are not used to seeing. Most images of the Willis Tower are accompanied with the Chicago skyline. I believe this photo is art because I was able to capture and isolate an iconic building in the city of Chicago but not make it the main focus. Although it is centered and captures the attention of the photo, it does not hide the view of the neighborhood. The line of light poles on left and the line of trees on the right allows the viewer to follow the path down the street toward a red house at the end that sits at the foot of the Willis Tower in this image. The blue sky behind the tower acts as a backdrop to make the building standout. The semi-circle created by the top of the trees around the tower acts as a frame to create an almost frame within a frame effect. This retake was preceded by a similar photo. That photo had some power line obstructions in the image and a little hazy from the many trees that covered the Tower. This required me to locate a better angle. Finding a new angle to avoid the power lines was a bit challenging, however this forced me to try different lenses and forcing me to move around in various directions. I see this view often, but capturing it and being able to view it in this way really allows me to appreciate it much more.

The final design of the HD Audio Module. Soldered by hand and tested together with the I2S library with a few old Rock & Roll songs!
Now the module is sold by RS Components is a slightly different components orientation for better mechanical stability. Check the RS Part No: 754-1974

Before you is the Command Module of the Apollo 6. If you look under the capsule you will see a series of holes. These holes were drilled to investigate how the heat shield held up after this capsule re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.
The Apollo 6 mission provided a second rehearsal for launching the massive Saturn V rocket. Scientists and engineers were testing the "staging" of a giant rocket to be sure each section would work properly. An important mission objective was to check out all systems before sending astronauts into space. The vehicle carried a full payload, including a mock-up lunar module, and was to test the capsule's heat shield to see if it could withstand re-entry speeds.
Initially, the launch seemed to be fine. But approximately two minutes into the flight, the first stage's five F-1 engines developed serious thrust fluctuations that caused the rocket to bounce like a pogo stick for 30 seconds. These oscillations were so intense that an airborne chase plane's cameras recorded pieces of the adapter stage (housing the lunar module) falling off of the vehicle. Such low-frequency vibrations (known as "pogo effect") exceeded the engineering/safety design criteria of the Apollo 6 Command Module. Had astronauts been onboard the spacecraft, the mission would have been aborted by jettisoning the capsule away from the failing rocket.
Although the oscillations stopped once the first stage was discarded, the vehicles second stage performance was also less than perfect. Two of the stage's five J-2 engines failed, causing the remaining three engines to burn for a longer period of time than planned. As a result, the second stage ran out of fuel before reaching the desired 100 mile circular orbit.
To compensate the Saturn's third stage burned longer and placed the spacecraft into an unplanned 110 by 230 mile elliptical orbit. NASA engineers left Apollo 6 in this "parking orbit for two revolutions around the Earth to assess the situation and perform various system checks. When flight controllers attempted to fire the third stage again, to simulate the flight to the Moon, the J-2 engine failed to restart.
The issues with the Saturn V's three stages altered the mission, and it was decided that after separation from the third stage, the Service Module's engine would burn for seven minutes, pushing the Apollo 6 capsule to an altitude of almost 14,000 miles. At such an altitude, enough re-entry speed could then be acquired to simulate an Apollo spacecraft returning from the Moon. The capsule's heat shield withstood the fireball created by a 22,000 mile per hour plunge into the Earth's atmosphere. Apollo 6 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, completing its 10 hour perilous space odyssey, and was recovered by the crew of the U.S.S. Okinawa.
A willing volunteer, but willing doesn't mean helpful! Maybe a better subject for the next module. I'm sure portrait photography doesn't NORMALLY involve panning.
Another session coming this weekend. Any comments to improve things would be appreciated.
Struggling a little due to the limited potential for larger apertures with the kit lens. I may try my old manual lens next time.

I finally went out to take some pictures for the last module of this camera school. I've been very busy, with shooting a bunch of other things while trying to balance it out with my exams. (I shot a couple concerts, and my school's basketball team has asked me to be their photographer, after shooting a couple of their matches.
So, this is what I've come up with. I'm not sure what to pick and help would be appreciated.
