In the link above I looked at photos of a bike traveling through NYC. In each photo it shows where the person on the bicycle went and sort of gives a tour of NYC.
Something that I learned new is that many people travel on foot or by bicycle.

In the link above I looked at photos of where there is a glare of sunlight or a bright light. In each of these photos they have one thing in common and it is that they all have a glare of light.
Something that I learned new is that for many years in photography, lens flare was actively avoided by photographers. Flare, which is basically light scattered within the lens due to unplanned reflection and lens impurities

In the link above I took a look at photos of storms. In some of theses photos there is a cool effect of lighting and others have the affect of a storm coming.
Something new that I learned is that the power and visual drama of a storm is almost unmatched in landscape photography and to be perfectly honest, we never really get sick of looking at great storm photographs.

Types of Magazine Cover
1.) Early Magazine Cover- In this type of magazine cover there are no descriptive words that tell you what it is going to be about. The table of contents that we have now was not always there. In the 1700s and 1800s the table of contents and book title had only co-existed. If there was a magazine that had no descriptive word and there was a table of contents and had no cover and started on the first page like a newspaper then i would know that it would be a Early Magazine Cover. The cover had nothing to do with what was in the book and it would just tempt the people to buy it.
2.) The Poster Cover- In this type of magazine cover the cover of the book looks almost like as if it was framed in a museum. Also this magazine cover has cover lines that tend to blend into place with the photo. If you were given a photo that had all of the above attributes then you would be able to identify it as a Poster Cover.
3.) Pictures Married to Types- This type of magazine cover more cover lines that hooks the reader by the picture. In this type of cover there will be a huge title and the person will be overlapping part of the title. Also the person will be in a unusual position that looks normal but feels weird. Another thing is that It will always be most of the body that is shown. As well as posture there will always be the element of placement and where the person in the cover is. There will also be two columns of text that somewhat boxes the person.
4.) In the Forest of Words- In this type of cover image and cover lines will overlap. Cover lines will appear in front of the cover model. In this they use there surroundings to tempt the buyer to buy it. If you see a cover that has cover lines overlapping and cover lines in front of the model then you will know that the cover will be Forest of the words cover magazine.

11.)The editors’ description of the cover: "American Photohas devoted the heart of its September/October issue to an 18-page oral history of 9/11/01 based on the recollections of the photographers who risked their lives to cover the story. Though there was no shortage of iconic images we could have used, in this case, we felt less was more. The somber black and white image (shot by NYU student Yoni Brook) projected a reflective calm and quiet emblematic of the story we were telling. After much internal discussion, we opted to remove all cover lines apart from the minimalist one you see here."
In this photograph there is a fire fighter and he is on top of the rubble that a fire burned down. The lighting in this photograph would have had to be turned up very high since the lighting that is natural is pretty low.

Choice Sheet Re-Do
I would like to go into yearbook. Some aspects that had influenced me to go into this class is because you do not have to write a lot of paragraphs about the subject. Another reason why i chose this class is because you can go out and take more photos and do little captions.
