Front Pages of the World

My favorite newspaper front page was in Texas and it was about the west explosion aftermath.

My favorite headline was "We Lost It All". I like it because it sounded really interesting.

There are six stories on my favorite front page.

They all have a really big picture that is somewhere near the center and then there are other stories that are at the bottom of the page and there is also a rectangle box on the sides that have stuff in them.

Some have photos before the header and also the text size and color are different.


Beards

http://laughingsquid.com/beard-a-photobook-of-the-world-beard-moustache-champions/

Thing that looked at this website was a couple pictures of men with beards. Some of these beards were just straight up weird and freaky. For example the the first photo with the man that had a hat on and his beard that looks like a snake. And of course there was one that was a normal one but it was just really long.

Something that i learned new was that they hold a contest to see which beard is the best. Another thing that i learned is that photographers take pictures of these men with a weird beards.



a. I chose this photo because it look some what the normal-ist of the three. I know that the last one is shorter but this one look more normal because it was all straight rather than the other one.
b. The rule of photography that i see in this photo is the leading lines because the lines in his beards because it leads to his face and the rest of his beard.
c. Rusty Blazenhoff

No tutorial on this website.

a.Some things that i saw in the website were three men with oddly long beards. Another thing i saw was that there were some rule of photography in each of the photos. Lastly there were swirls on there eyes with the colors of black and gray.
b.I learned that people take photographs of people with long and weird beards.
c.This site related to photography because each of the photos have at least one of the rules of photography.

Simplicity, Cropping,

This was exposed properly.
The light comes from behind the photographer.

This is a prime lens and we can tell because it has a bigger aperture.

I would make this photo better by showing the whole body. Also since he is a humane society show him in a cage.

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to capture an image when i am a little father away.

I would use a prime lens to take an image when it is some what dark out side instead of in the bright day light.

I would use a wide-angle lens to get the whole image. When a object is to large i would use this lens to capture the image.

Depth of Field (shallow and wide)- The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.

Light (angle and intensity)- Light can affect a photo by giving off to much of it and therefore it will just make the photo come out all white. And is there is not enough light then it will just come out really dark.

Shadows Diffusion- Shadows can play a role in photography. It can create a sense of going with the picture. The shadows can cover up some light which help the photo.

Exposure- the amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium. This helps out by giving light in certain places where it is needed.

Aperture (f-stop)- the variable opening by which light enters a camera. This can also help a photo by see how much light is able to pass through.

Shutter speed- the effective length of time a camera's shutter is open. This can help a photo by letting in a certain amount of light. Increasing the shutter speed decreases the amount of light that get in.

ISO- measures the sensitivity of the image sensor
