A Green Adventure

The “Color Walk Time Lines”assignment was to “Choose a color and then take 20 minute walk in which you take a 5-8 pictures of the color as you encounter it. Then upload the photos to Flickr and create a time line using TimeLine JS.”

I decided to go with the color green (in celebration of spring, even though the weather doesn’t feel like it). I grabbed my phone and walked around campus, taking pictures of different things that were green. I also got some weird looks… I guess it’s not normal to be taking picture of random plants.

Once I took all the pictures, I uploaded them to Flickr. I had never used it before, but it was really easy to set an account up and to upload the pictures. After that, I followed the TimeLine JS tutorial. It was a little confusing to follow the instructions and use Google sheets to make the timeline, but it turned out pretty cool in the end! I bet there’s a ton of other stuff you can do with Google sheets that most people don’t know about.

I wasn’t able to embed the final product, but here is the link to the timeline I created.

Color Walk Time Lines

For one of the web assignments this week I made a photograph Timeline with Timeline JS. Since I’ve used Timeline JS for another class, it was pretty easy. For the assignment, we had to pick a color and go on a 20 minute walk, basically doing a photo blitz of the color and then put those pictures into a timeline. There are a surprising number of blue things in downtown Fredericksburg, but I still tried to mix up some unusual blue pictures in with what you might commonly see. There were some technical parts of creating the timeline that were kind of annoying, but that is what made it a web assignment, and I learned a little more about Timeline JS than I knew before.

Greener Pastures

After looking for a while through different assignments to complete, I came across this one. I initially misread it as “go for a walk and create a timeline of pictures of different colors”, but when I read it again, I realized it said to pick one color. After looking at the other people’s posts who have completed the assignment, I decided to choose green since no one had done that color yet. Green is my second favorite color, and with so many trees on campus, there’s green everywhere. But I didn’t want to do the obvious and just take a bunch of pictures of trees, so I sought out to find other green things on campus besides trees.

Here’s my completed timeline (unfortunately there wasn’t a way to embed it that worked).

I had a lot of fun with this assignment; I love going for walks and taking pictures of what I come across.

Color Walk Time Lines

I had to choose a color and then take 20 minute walk in which I take a 5-8 pictures of the color as I encounter it and then upload the photos to Flickr and create a time line using TimeLine JS.

This was pretty straight forward. I uploaded all of my pics to my Flickr account and then followed the directions on how to create the JS timeline! It took some time so I would recommend setting a couple of hours aside for this assignment!

My timeline can be found here! For some reason I could not embed the file which kinda sucks…

Here is a tutorial I watched to learn the application!

The above link is to my Web Assignment discussing the use of the two primary colors red and blue in Season 2 Episode 1.  I have created a Timeline JS going through 11 photographs taken from the episode.  Each photo has been time stamped with it’s corresponding time slot in the episode.  Red and blue symbolize so much in this episode.  In each scene of red there has been a link with disobedience, or crime, or death.  In each scene of blue, we have seen a link to the police and to the some what “good guys”.  Not everyone in blue is a good guy but each have some form of goodness in them regardless if that is due to their dedication to their job or their unknown innocence of what really was going on….
