4.In art class after B-lunch, David M. works on his art work assassiment to make it look decent so it can be hung on the wall in the classroom. He looks closely at his assassiment and spots an error in the very center and quickly corrects the error.

Rules of composition evident in the photo- lines, merger, viewpoint.

In a class were students learn about animals, their teacher who loves birds, brought in a owl named samantha. The students learned much about owls from samantha that very day.

Japan Horror3

I find this to be very dramatic because it is shocking to see a tsunami cover up everything so quickly. The bigger the qake the bigger the tsunami and what is shown above will happen if a monster sized tsunami is on it's way.

Japan Horror2

This is an actual crack in the ground. Helicopter pilots took a photo of this after the qake. This can be an good example of what happens during a destructive earthquke. All the trembaling during an qake is what is shown above.

Japan horror1

When the tsunami came into land, it brought this vessal with it and when the surge went back the vessal stayed behind because there was tons of debris in the way of the vessal's path or the surge was low when it went back out to sea.

Cool advertising idea

I chose this one because it reminds me of money growing on trees and seeing peppers grow from trees is not likely to happen, but funny looking. This woulden't influence me to buy an at/t phone because phones growing from trees is just a dream. But if this was realistic, then I would go for it. I bet this would be an every teenager on earth dream come true.

Touching People

What I think about this project/photo essay is that the photogragher must be getting different people to come together like this because he might be ethier showing us many types of people or trying to send out a message to the community. I would be okay with the photo shoot if it is were the photogragher takes a photo of me and thats it. But, if he whats me to do it with a stranger, I would go into worry mode because I was trainded to protect my self from strangers, not come into contact with them. But if he/she is doing this for a good reason, then I will give it a try. A fun and unusual photo that I think would be good to do is go do it with someone I like and get my photo taken with them and show it to my people. I thought it was interesting because this might be an easier way for people to know about each other a little easer. The types of photos he's taken is like in outdoor/envioroment areas. The characters in his photos are mostly toching eachother. Like for ex, laying on top of eachother, holding hands, one's arm over one's shoulder,ect.

Building

I had to choose the austonian for "building" because it shows a good example of a building. Every time I look at this it always reminds me of the twin towers in NYC.

Happy

This is a good example of "Happy" because these police officers are smiling like they are in a good mood or just love getting their picture taken.

Akins

This is a good photo for "Akins" because the photo shows a good view of the building. And if you look closely, you can see the name of the building above the front intrince.

Magazine Cover Types

Cover Types
1.Early Magazine Covers- paintings, moral, ethical, religous.




2.The Poster Cover- one big photo and no border, clear subject, one small decription, really good photo or easily reconizable. Disavantiges of poster cover- singal copies sales will be risky to a poor photo.




3.Pictures Married to Type- the words don't disturb the photo, the words and photos must go together. Disavantages of "pictures to Marr. Type- you don't know whats in there.  





4.In the Forest of Words- lots of colors, fonts, sizes, words scaterd on cover. some of the disadvantages is too much stuff on cover, photos covered.





Stuff you find on a magazine Cover

Favorite cover-


 The reson I like this one is how the publisher put G.W. Bush face on one side of the other president's face makes the both of them combined look like a clone. And this would be an enviromental photo because there is a feild of flowers on a clean cut green field.

Magazine Cover

Five things I should be thinking about when I make my magazine cover is "arousing curiosity", to attract the reader's attention. "Intellectually stimulating" to make benifits promising,  make the cover "efficient, fast, and easy to scan" so the reader does not get confused or lost on the cover. Another one is "Worth the investmant of money and time" so people are spending their time and money with something that holds a purpose to be read. Finally, "familiar recognition from issue to issue" so if person 1 and 2 go to the magazine table that holds the same brand, but if a false brand was in the stack, it would be hard to attract other readers or veiwers.

I have decided to go with the self portrait. When i do this i'll have to get a classmate to help me shoot the portrait. I would do the shoot in the library. To make the shot successful, i would use my time wisely and pick a position without hesitation.
This is a good example of environmental portrait because it has some enviroment elements in it such as the sky/clouds, forest in the backround and the cranberry filled lake.
I chose this self portrait because it shows a good example of someone doing it on their own.
I like this casual portrait because it is both romantic and has leading lines in it.
The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.
                               -From Nationalgeograghic Photograghy Tips 

There are several ways to approach self-portraits. One way is to frame an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front of the lens. Just remember that a self-timer will give you a very limited amount of time to get in position (usually 10 seconds). It helps if you can get a friend to be a stand-in until you can be there, or mark your spot with tape or chalk.
             -From shutterbug
You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in. Place a mirror just behind the camera, and do your final posing in the mirror. This method also requires a self-timer, or a remote triggering device if your camera has one. Once again, if you use a self-timer, you'll need to get into position before it goes off.

Best Movie of 2010 is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Tuesday, January 4, 2011

I would grade my own faviorates.

1. Best song of 2010- The Final Countdown. 
2. Best movie- Percy Jackson and the lightning thief. 
3. Most important news story- Gulf oil spill.
4. Most important person of 2010- I would choose lady gaga.
5. Biggest sports- basketball and football.

About my holiday-
1. One thing i will remember on my x-mas is my new music player.
2. Hope it goes smooth like it did back in 2010.
3. Hoping we don't go threw a major drought because one of it's results was a nearby brushfire near are school on the way home one day! Thank god the fire dept was there before it got out of control.
I chose this as my final photo because this one looks spiritual. When i see the sun's rays point to the groud threw the clouds, it makes me think that god has called the decised that it is time to go to a better place. In the boy's perspective, he looks like he's praying.
I chose this as my 2nd favorite photo because when i first looked at this photo the first thought about it that came to me was it looks like a watercolor photo.
Why this is my 1st faviorate photo because the combanation of the glowing thunderhead and the star filled night sky remind me of the cosmos in space and this is a wonderful scene.
