Well, now I'm going to quit this blog and this will be my last post. It's the end of the year and I will not need this blog for anything. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and GOOD-BYE!

Math

In Math, we are about to take the test with our favorite substitute Mr. Qutub. But when we are done with that, he will leave and our real math teacher, Ms. Rihani, will take over now that she is not pregnant anymore. With her we are going to finish the last chapter in our math book and then we will be done.

P.E.

Physical Education is one of my favorite subjects in school. Every day we run for 6-10 minutes and then just play sports for the rest of the class. The only thing we learn is the rules for a sport so we don't have to torture our brains too much. It is fun and exhausting and makes me hyper after class. The only minus is that my parents force me to take a shower every time I have P.E.

Science

We have started a project in Science where we have to make a song where the lyrics explain the steps of Meiosis. We had 2 weeks to complete it but because everyone tried to finish it on the last day and fail horribly, the teacher got very mad at us and made everyone of us to redo it and now we have the rest of the school year to finish it. I haven't even started working on it and I am getting worried that I might not finish it.

Today I presented my Red-Eye presentation. I took some notes from the link below which is all about Red-Eye.
Here are the notes:
Minimizing Red-Eye in Your Photos
  • Red-Eye is caused by the light from the flash reflected from a photographed persons blood vessels in their eyes back to the camera lens, which causes the person to have red eyes in the photograph.
  • Camera manufacturers have made a feature called "Preflash"
  • They fire a flash to force the persons iris to close which prevents the blood vessels from reflecting to your camera.
  • Then the actual flash is fired and the photo taken.
  • After the preflash has been fired, it causes the person to squint their eyes, so when the actual photo is taken, they will have their eyes closed.
  • Preflash does not completely prevent red-eye.
  • A better solution is something called "External Flash".
  • It fires the flash from a different angle.
  • Which prevents the light reflected from the persons eye from being captured by the camera.
  • You will need to buy a DSLR camera with a "hot shoe" where you can attach the external flash.
  • External Flash is sold separately.

Art auction

Because it is close the end of the school year, the art class students will have their artworks for auction! We will choose the items we want to auction, and during the auction, someone will hopefully buy them. All the money collected during the auction will go to charity.

Red-Eye

Red-Eye is a very annoying thing that happens during portrait photos. As the name suggests, the subject will have red eyes. This happens when the camera flash makes the blood vessels in the eye to reflect light back at the camera. I have found a nice photography website which can tell you how to prevent Red-Eye Here.
