Details

I think this picture falls into details because of all the basic details it has. 

 

  Light

This one has light in it and the architecture of it was build intentionally so that light

could shine in. This one could also count as patterns because of the repetition seen in it.

Patterns

This one falls into patterns because of the same buildings that are constantly repeated

and impressive as well.

Angles and Shapes

This Picture is part of angles and shapes because of the odd looking building seen in this picture.

It caught my eye quickly and the mirrored like exterior could count as light as well in some way?

Surroundings

This one falls into surroundings for the things around the building like the palm trees and the pool running in the middle.

Africa

1. I liked all of the photos they were all pretty cool. They look very professional and some cause great emotions.

2. My favorite was the one with the two zebras in it, I dont know why but it really stands out from the rest to me. The background is beautiful and I dont know it just really got my attention.

3.

a.     What kind of camera did he use? Pentax 67 System

b.     What is his reason for taking the photos? He takes pictures in hope because according to him this wildlife is vanishing

c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos?Donations

d.     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog

4. "I’ve always thought this something of a wasted opportunity. The wild animals of Africa lend themselves to photographs that extend aesthetically beyond the norm of 35mm-color telephoto wildlife photography. And so it is, that in my own way, I would like to yank the subject matter of wildlife into the arena of fine art photography. To take photographs that transcend what has been a largely documentative genre."

All the pictures were of a certain  adequate distance
gettin up close in personal and not feeling the pain
They all have the same theme. their all similar

List two things the judges like-
They like the backgrounds in some.
The picture where the girl fell down..
------------------------------
I Personally didint find it interesting and it didint catch my eye.. I think that the pictures could of been better.
------------------------------
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
That the photographer was very thoughtful of how to take these pictures. They werent easy shots some were money shots?.. well they couldnt be planned anyway.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
A Strength is his ability to catch an unexpected picture at unexpected times like im guessing he always has a camera with him. which is an advantage for him and a weakness would be the quality or the image itself could be better.

3. They Criticized the pictures very well .. every detail and what was good and badd about the picture itself. Eventually choosing the best one in their behalf.

Earthquake In Japan

This Is Rather Sad and it causes me great empathy on whats going on in japan.. This falls in Avoiding Mergers and Lines. it kinda has some depth also..

I like this picture even if its something bad thats happening.. its still a pretty good picture. it makes me feel bad to see the environment in japan its so  badd. This picture falls into the rule of thirds.

I Like this picture and whoever took it was pretty well prepared. It makes me feel unsecure sometimes because we dont know what might happen and how bad things can happen  in an instant.. this is a Create Depth picture.

Touching Strangers

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
Well its pretty thoughtful and as some people might think uncomfortable and awkward but its very creative and im guessing its pretty fun. Its also a good way to meet new people with different perspectives.
2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?
Well i wouldnt mind participating but i hope its not so  weird or awkward.
3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
Im not so sure. i guess a pose where they are touching maybe interacting with eachother so i could shoot the picture while they are having fun.
4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take?
Yes he has different people doing different things in different places. Its pretty creative he has a lot of tecniques. He took pictures that fall into lines, balance, rule of thirds, simplicity, avoiding mergers pretty much everything.

Cool Advertising Idea

This is my favorite picture from their advertising basically because its pretty..and its in the ocean one of my favorite places. Also I Like the colors Are really sharp and they really stand out. Well I Wouldnt Neccessarily buy the phone, the advertisement is pretty cool though.

I think this is a really great picture. i really love the background and the huge smile from ear to ear on her face shows how happy she is which relates to the theme.

Akins

I really like this picture because its very thoughtful and it came out really good. Akins is an academic success and so is everyone in it everyone is a star at this school and everyone has  great potential which relates to the theme.

Building

The background and the sun creeping in is a very good detail in this picture you can see part of a building from school which relates directly with the theme.

Magazine discussion

Cover Types

1. Early Magazine covers- No photo they were either paintings or drawings all the time.big color spots to highlight it. no date line no price and no barcode. they tended to be very simple
2. The Poster Cover-The picture and a headline.Some of the disadvantages is that the photo has to be really good to buy it otherwise they will look at it as dull.
3. Pictures Married To Type-less text than forest of words. most words are on one side.text is involved with the photo.Looks a little boring since there are not many entry points.
4. In The Forest Of Words.- Words All Over the cover Some in different colors others big others small different fonts.They distract you a lot and sometimes you dont see the full photograph

Stuff that should be on my magazine cover

• Title
• Photo
• Barcode
• Price
• Dateline.

#15 Harpers Bazaar (April 1965)
This magazine cover of Harpers Bazaar is a photograph of model Jean Shrimpton by photographer Richard Avedon. The cover of Shrimpton peering from behind a bright pink Day-Glo space helmet was designed by Art Directors Ruth Ansel and Bea Feitler. This photograph, with the Harpers Bazaar logo vibrating against it in acid green has been often reproduced as an emblem of the sixties.(Formal)

This Cover Catches my eye a lot. Even if its simple it still keeps you interested well to me. and i really like the color of her helmet its sort of a bright stand-out color. Also Jean Shrimpton is a really pretty girl and i think Richard Avedon did a very good portrait he got close and took a simple but eye catching picture. It may be seem a little dull for some people but everyone has their own taste.

5. The reader should be pleased.

Portrait and Self-Portrait tips and ideas

Tips

1. Have Fun With It. Be Sexy Be Yourself Be Awesome Be Different Be Creative. Whatever You Do have fun with it. Thats part of the point after all.
2. Every time you hold your camera to your eye, look for leading lines, foreground elements, frames—anything you can use to lend dynamism to your image. Photographs are two dimensional but it helps if they look and feel three dimensional. 
3. Don't just stand there—sit, squat, lie down. The angle from which you make a photograph can make a dramatic difference. 

I like these two pictures because their both environmental and their both nature-like and the in the first one the flowers are really pretty and in the second one the horse is very beautiful.

I Like These Two portraits because they show alot of emotion the two girls are both pretty and their simple.

I like these two photos because of their placement in the second one he is in rule of thirds and he just seems happy and in the first one they both seem comfortable and happy with eachother and the depth from the background is really pretty.

Well I plan to look for sunny places to take my portrait simply because i like when people come out smiling under the sunlight i see it very pretty or a really simple and bright picture.

Welcome Back!

  I liked this picture because it has a nice view.It has a lot of lights and a lot of buildings to look at.

 This picture is my absolute favorite mainly because i love the exotic colors. This picture looks pretty balanced out and i like how the colors really stand out because of the dark green background.

I like this picture because it has part water part land. The dolphin in the middle is very beautiful  and for some reason there is a plastic bag on his fin im guessing it has a purpose and it just shows how smart dolphins are.


1. What was the best song of 2010?

"Club cant handle me" Florida featuring David Guetta

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. First of all because it came out in my favorite movie Step Up 3d
