The GummiBear Experiment

Brittany and Blake started off on a journey of epic proportions - photograph the GummiBear experiment, one of the famous names of the School of Science and Mathematics.  They ran into many problems along the way, from malfunctioning triggers to a difficult circuit and finally scheduling conflicts - but in the end, everything was resolved, and the GummiBear experiment was indeed photographed.  Using a Nikon D1 and a home-built photo-sensitive trigger, these two students learned much about photography, digital SLR cameras, chemistry, and working with other departments.  They could have improved their method by perhaps having thought of scheduling conflicts ahead of time, could have been more knowledgeable about the GummiBear experiment so that working on the time table of another department wasn't an issue, and perhaps they could have redesigned the trigger with a smaller delay so that capturing the start of a lighter would have been possible.  However, for the most part, this experiment was a success, since they accomplished their goal of photographing the famous GummiBear experiment, and they are content with their pictures.
