Front Page of The World

Staten Island Advance is my favorite because I like how the stories and pictures are balanced out. Also, I like the set up and amount of stories on this cover. Big brother hiding in your E-ZPass? Is my favorite headline because it grabs my attention. 7 stories are on the front page. THe amount of pictures differ and the way they are set up, on some different newspapers they use one picture to cover the whole paper.

My Favorite Cover

I like this cover because it's basic but heart warming and has a deep meaning on the event that happened in boston. I like all the different color of track shoes they used. I like how from the inner to outer section the color fades, from bright shoes to more duller shoes. I also like how they shaped it into a heart. The line in the middle of the magazine is heart warmer thinking of the runners. 

1. Experiment with Lighting


Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.


Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.
2. Move Your Subject Out of their Comfort Zone


I was chatting with a photographer recently who told me about a corporate portrait shoot that he had done with a business man at his home. They’d taken a lot of head and shoulder shots, shots at his desk, shots in front of framed degrees and other ‘corporate’ type images. They had all turned out fairly standard – but there was nothing that really stood out from the crowd.


The photographer and the subject agreed that there were plenty of useable shots but they wanted to create something ‘special’ and out of the box. The photographer suggested they try some ‘jumping’ shots. The subject was a little hesitant at first but stepped out into the uncomfortable zone and dressed in his suit and tie started jumping!


The shots were amazing, surprising and quite funny. The shoot culminated with the subject jumping in his pool for one last image!


While this might all sound a little ‘silly’ the shots ended up being featured in a magazine spread about the subject. It was the series of out of the box images that convinced the magazine he was someone that they’d want to feature.


3. Looking within the frame – alternatively you could have your subject looking at something (or someone) within the frame. A child looking at a ball, a woman looking at her new baby, a man looking hungrily at a big plate of pasta…. When you give your subject something to look at that is inside the frame you create a second point of interest and a relationship between it and your primary subject. It also helps create ‘story’ within the image.

Basketball 
OKC

3 Important Rules.

1. Defensive three seconds - defensive player is not allowed inside the key area ("the paint") for more than three seconds unless he is guarding the player with the ball or is actively guarding any opponent.

2. Hand Checking - A defender may not place and keep his hand on an opponent unless he is in the area near the basket with his back to the basket. A defender may momentarily touch an opponent with his hand anywhere on the court as long as it does not affect the opponent’s movement.

3. Out of bounds - Getting the ball out of bounds is a foul and the which ever team touched the ball last does not get the ball back. 

3 Examples of Jargon.

1. "He's on fire" - He's like the MVP of the game, he's making all the shots, making assist, etc.

2. "Traveling" - You're not allowed to carry the ball around, like traveling around with it.
3. "Alley Oop" - When a basketball player throws the ball at another player near the basketball goal and they jump up catches it and automatically make a slam dunk. 

Rumble the Bison is the official mascot of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Balance

I think i did OK to capture balance right here. The girls are supposed to be the subject. Yes it is clear to see what subject is. 

Rule of Thirds

I think I did OK to capture Rule of Thirds. The subject is supposed to be the girl smiling or laughing. It's not very clear to see what the subject is. I think i would have had her to the side more to show more of the rule of thirds.

Lines

I think i did good capturing this picture. The subject would once again be the opening her locker. I think its kind of clear to see the subject. i think i did a good job showing its leading lines because they lead to the girl.

Reflection: 

Some challenges was trying to catch the dancers in action while smiling without it coming out blurry. I think it was kind of easy just when trying to catch stuff in action having to manually focus it was a hassle.
