Scarlett's Passion Project

Snapping Pics For A Good Cause


Hi I am Scarlett and this is my introduction to my Passion Project.


Have you ever thought about all the different facts about the animals in Orana park zoo. Like where they are from, what their names are, how old they are. You get the picture! For my passion project I am raising money for Orana park zoo. I will do this by making accessories and a book with photography that I will take around the zoo. In the book there will facts about the animals on each page. This will hopefully answer your wonderings. All the money that I raise from selling these things will go to the zoo.


  • My goal is to gather all of my images and facts and put them into my book and accessories. Then to make sure that I give the money that I raise to Orana Park Zoo.


  • The purpose of me doing this is to improve my camera skills and to learn that giving to good causes is a good thing to do.


The skills I have gained so far:


  • Camera techniques
  • What time of day to take photography
  • Good lighting arrangements
  • To plan things ahead of time
  • What to focus on when photographing an animal

Evie's Passion Project

From Egg To Omelette


Goal/Purpose: My goal was to breed chickens, build them a chicken coop to grow up in and have them grow up healthy and strong. My purpose was to breed chickens as I am interested in animals as well as wanting to witness the growth and development of the chicks.


Process:
  • Choose a topic
  • Research chicken breeding
  • Research where to get a chicken coop
  • Get fertile eggs
  • Find out where to get an incubator
  • Meet with my expert and mentor
  • Build a chicken coop
  • Get the chickens’ food
  • Take photos of the chickens


Reflection:
I have learnt so much about chickens and how to breed them at home and in a incubator. I know that in the future I will breed chickens again and I will keep Maisy, Meredith, Missy and Minky and they will be a part of the family with our other chickens. Breeding chickens took a lot of time and effort but I have learnt so much that will help me in the future. In the end I think all of the hard work has payed off and I am very proud of what I have achieved.

Joanna's Passion Project!

Animals In Focus - By Joanna
Goal:
My goal was to improve my knowledge and understanding of different ways to take photos of animals.

Purpose:
The reason I chose this topic is because ever since I got given a basic camera for Christmas when I was 7, I have found an inner passion for photography and wanted to expand my knowledge and thoroughly improve what I know about photography. The reason I wanted to narrow it down to just animal photography was that I have grown up around all sorts of animals and wanted to do a project on animals and photography.

Process:
  • Decide topic
  • Research about topic
  • Start blog
  • Take photos
  • Research
  • Keep updating blog and diary
  • Research
  • Print out photos and info
  • Present my project!!

Reflection:
Overall my project has been a quite a success and I have gained lots of skills like:
  • Photography (action and focus)
  • Organisation (organising mentor meetings)
  • Time management
  • Independence
  • Knowledge about how different cameras work
I will definitely keep on taking lots more photos and look forward to learning heaps more!!
