Lab 8: Foxbard Farm



Mr. John Payne gave the group a tour of the Foxbard Farm. The farm has been around since the 1700's which was bought by John Payne's father of 1,150 acres of land, at the time it was a tabacco farm but it wasn't until 1943 that the owner switched over to be a dairy farm, filling their pastures with milking short-horns. After passing away Payne's son, John, took ownership of his father's land in 1998 and ever since then the farm has been run by John. Currently the farm has 100 - 130 heads of cows, most of them were bred naturally.

These pictures were shot with my 1.8 mega pixel camera. Now a days, a regular point-and-shoot camera has about 7.1 mega pixel. Mega pixels are one of the features to look for when purchasing a camera. The mega pixels indicate how much pixels are in a inch of a photo. Since my camera has such a low resolution of 1.8 mega pixel, you can notice that blocks are used to make up the photo. The higher the mega pixel the smoother and crisp the image comes out to be and no amount of photoshopping can make this photo look like it was taken from a 7.1 mega pixel camera.
