Skills USA Day 2

hey!
sorry its taken me so long to post again! But Skills USA Day 2 was the photoshoot and editing.  The photoshoot......I kinda screwed up.  But I still got alot of points for my pictures.  Editing went fairly well.  The hardest thing to do was to colorize a black and white photo, but it went alot better than i thought it would. :) At the end of editing we had judging and interviews.  I totally aced the interview!!! :) haha So at the end of the night we had awards ceremonies..unfortunately I did not go home with a medal.  But overall in state, I took 5th place.  Just 5 points away from third place.  Oh well, now I know what I have to practice for next year and I will hopefully be more prepared! :) Thanks everyone for your support through the competition and my photography! :)

Skills USA Day 1

Yesterday was the first day of the Skills USA competition.  It went fairly well for the first day.  We drove up to Wisconsin Dells around 8 and got up to the conference about noon.  At 1:00 we had our opening ceremony, and then we were sent off to find our hotel and chill for a little while until our individual briefing started.  My briefing started at 5:00.  Me and the other photography students went down to the briefing and it was amazing to see all of the other kids who enjoyed the same things as we do.  After the teachers filled us in on what was going to be going on today, we all entered our pictures into one section of the competition.  All of the pictures were so amazing, it will be very hard for the judges to pick just 3! haha  I think I have a pretty good chance of placing, but I am just happy for the experience here.  Today we have to go out and take pictures around the hotel for our field assignment, and then we have to edit them and submit the best pictures.  After submitting, we have to take a test and then go to closing and award ceremonies.  I will let you all know how things go after the closing ceremony!  Wish me luck!!!!!!
