Some notes:
1.) I was sort of short on time.
2.) Running out of space - I only had like 30-40 pictures left on my SD card; I had used up an entire card earlier, and most of the second card's space on previous stuff, So I couldn't just snap pictures of EVERYTHING.
3.) I had no tripod - and I was handholding things so not all of my photos turned out well. But I did pretty good.
