Case Study

Data is all around us and can be gathered in a variety of ways. For this exercise you will examine the images on your phone for the last few days. Look at the last 20 photos you have. Preferably these will be photos you took. Each photo will fit into a category of where it was taken and also what type of photo it is. Choose a color to represent a location and a symbol to the type of photo. Connect each photo with a small line between the rectangles if they are a photo of the same thing over and over. Here is an example:

Camera data

This exercise will help you see patterns in your photos that can be used for finding, filtering and organizing your photos. The ability to find, filter and organize becomes more useful the larger your dataset. Imaging if you have 1000s of photos and want to see only the outdoor images.
Download the camera roll datasheet.
Print the camer roll datasheet then record your last 20 photos. This data will be used for the Tabular Data assignment due at the end of the week.

This assignment has no deliverable, however the data gathered will be used in the Tabular Data assignment.
