Every year, the photography club usually goes on a trip to a national park in order to take beautiful photographs. Sometimes we have a guest speaker to teach us about different techniques and great ways to set up shots. Unfortunately our trip was cancelled this year because of the Westgate attack and security reasons. We also had several people drop out last minute. The trip was meant to be October 11th, 12th, and 13th. It's unlikely that it will be rescheduled as the seniors in the group are pretty much busy for the rest of the year. I'm really bummed the trip isn't happening because I always learn so much about setting up shots, taking my camera off auto, and just experimenting with cool pictures. It's great having a bunch of people who are dedicated to photography all together for a weekend because we can really learn from one another.
The trips are always wonderful because the club consists of many different grades, and getting to hang out with several different kinds of people is always amazing. We truly learn from each other, whether it be different photography techniques, or ways to handle the IB, it's always a great trip. Hopefully we'll be able to get a few guest speakers in photography club during activity time so that the students can still get that benefit of the trip. We also hope to do several smaller day trips (on Saturdays or Sundays) to Nairobi national park or the Kintangala Glass Factory. I'm positive we'll still have a great year!
