One might wonder, “Why would Sarge take the Crime Scene Technology cohort to the Palm Beach Zoo?” This field trip offered many photographic challenges. Utilizing the skills they have learned last term, the students were challenged to take photos under a tree canopy. They had to photograph moving animals, waterfalls and fountains. They had to overcome visual barriers, such as fencing and netting. They had to compensate for indoor displays where flash units could not be used. After taking the images in the field they were then tasked with analyzing and then digital enhancing several to add to their portfolios.
