Statesman

I found the photo interesting and sad because it is one of the people who died in the car crash and his family wrote him a handwritten note which means so much. The angle is also different and the lighting is perfect.

I found this video interesting because it was an odd animal friendship, but it was also because the cat had a disability. The dog was always by the kittens side and helped it when it needed it.

Fall Photo Contest:

This photo is powerful because the book the girl is reading is How to Overthrow the Government and she is dressed nicely. There are lots of lines that lead you to the girl and the lighting in bright and and make the photo seem light hearted.

Sports/Action- How Do The Pros Do It?

Part 1: Portfolios
Travis Haughton
problems- Having the back of somebody's head dominating the picture, needed captions for photos that they didn't know what was going on, don't like pictures of signs, missing heads/faces
judges like- likes the expressions, likes how there are things happening in all sections of the photo and levels
-I agreed with the judges that i want to know more and see more of most of the photos, most of them are very close cropped.

Jordan Murph
problems- has the same angles and colors, cut off body parts,
judges like- angles of arms and shadows, love the bubbles in swimming pictures, photo stories were horrible and had no timeline and neatness.
- His lighting was really good in most of his photos and they had interesting elements.

Melissa Golden
problems-they had seen countless photos like these, made fun of most of her photos
judges like- the expression in portraits
- The photos of the old people getting their hair done were interesting and the portrait of the old man was really good but some of the photos didn't tell a story.

http://www.tiltshiftphotography.net/tilt-shift-photography-photoshop-tutorial/

- I got to see the steps to make a picture look like a model scenery. The original photo was already a little cartoony, but after they layered all the effects and shifted the picture a couple different ways it looked even more fake. 

- I learned how to pick out what part of the picture i want to blur or keep in focus. 

- I could use what i learned in class to in hanse my photos and add an unreal effect.

-This expanded my knowledge about photoshop and how i can use more of the effects it has.

5. 60 Beautiful examples of Night Photography

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/11/09/60-beautiful-examples-of-night-photography/

- On this website there were lots of photos people had taken at night. To get all the light they needed to get the photo to show you could tell the shutter was open for a while because you can see the motion blur.

- I learned to get night photos to work out well you have to leave the shutter open for longer.

-I picked this photo because i like the different materials the buildings were made of how they contrast, and how the clouds and moon play off each other with the light.

- I see framing.

- I couldn't get to the original website to see who took the photo.
