Just got my first film camera!



    

For my trip, I purchased the Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 Deluxe 35mm Point & Shoot. It's a fairly simple camera but can take quality photos and zoom in pretty far. This camera is all weather which means I can use it in the rain, yay!, because there's going to be tons of that where I'm going. I'm hoping to take some vibrate photos of the jungle and its animals when/if my phone becomes unavailable. One cool feature that I really like is that it automatically puts the date in the corner of all my photos which will be really cool to come back to after some years. Film cameras are always a fun surprise to see how each photo comes out after getting it developed. 

 Here's the link to a small video of the camera - camera clip

So much has been accomplished and learned over this time and even though I am looking forward to coming home, this was still an unforgettable experience that I’m glad I took a chance on going on. Now these final days are mainly for completing final research projects, essays, field journals, and a final exam.  However, we are still learning even though our days are counting down. Our group toured Finca Köbö which is a mixture of cacao plantations and primary and secondary regenerated forest. We learned how they use intercropping/ permaculture practices to increase biodiversity within the cacao plantations. They also grow a large stock of vanilla bean, which grow on large vines in structures similar to vineyards. I had the honor of manually pollinating the rare vanilla orchid. It was an insane hands on experience using what was briefly explained to m...
