Abandoned Theme Parks

1. I would really like to take my camera to the abandoned Six Flags up in New Orleans. I would really want to go here because it looks sort of like a run-down town and the rides and games still look somewhat in tact and would make really creepy and cool photos. Also in general, New Orleans is known as a pretty creepy place with all the voodoo and stuff so it just makes the scene ten times scarier and freaky.

OTHER UNUSUAL PLACES TO PHOTOGRAPH
  1. Amazon Jungle
  2. Abandoned ruins
  3. Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee
  4. Burning Man music festival
  5. White Sands, New Mexico

Nick Garbutt has taken many photos in the Amazon Jungle, including this one.
I think it would be a really great experience to shoot in the Amazon. There are
so many incredible creatures and species living there and things you have never seen
before. Another thing is the weather, it is very wet and humid in the Amazon but you
never know what is coming, because the surprise of a certain type of weather can make
for a great photo! I am sure there are many laws regarding the animal species in the 
Amazon, and I fully respect that, but I would of course do my research of where I can 
and cannot go before I make the trip. I would of course have to get all the equipment I have, including some rain proof gear because things are going to definitely get a little wet. But at the same time, I gotta pack pretty light cause I don't want to be dragging around a ton of heavy camera equipment all day.

SIMPLICITY In this photo, I focused on simplicity. What is in focus, is a part of the girls hair and face, but you can also the action of what she is doing. If I had put the whole photo into focus nothing would be standing out to the viewer. THIRD PERSON In this photo, my composition rule was third person. I could have put the girl in far left, in the center, but then it would have changed what your audience was seeing. I wanted them to see the girl, but also where she was. Since the girl who I was really striving to make the subject, is not really the first thing you might see, I probably would have changed my focus manually. AVOIDING MERGERS I really tried to follow the composition rule of  avoiding mergers in this photo. As you can see there is a girl, and behind her you can see a chalkboard with a metal strip at the top that would have looked like it was cutting into the head of the girl if I hadn't put her as just the focus. But

Front Pages of the World

1. My favorite newspaper I came across was one from Bismark, North Dakota called "The Bismark Tribune." This one is my favorite because it has eye capturing photos and not over taking text that looks too wordy. Also it has a calm color scheme that is nice to the eye. 2. My favorite headline from the newspaper is "Panda cub Bao Bao bound for China" because it is about pandas, and who doesn't want to read about a baby panda named Bao Bao? 3. There are 3 main stories on my front page, and a long caption to a photo. 4. All the newspapers I looked at have around 4 stories on the front page, 2-3 photos, and one dominant headlining story. 5. Something very different between all the newspapers is obviously language, and how the pages are laid out. All of them have different layouts which make them unique. 1. Something that our school newspaper has that other normal newspapers don't have is more personal stories and something that can relate to a younger crowd

1. Photography Resolutions for 2016 http://petapixel.com/2014/12/31/10-photography-resolutions-new-year/ On this website, I really paid attention to what the writers resolutions were. I was very interested in the pictures that went along with the text, but I was more hooked to the reading portion of it, only because there was great description AND it was talking about New Year's resolutions which is very relevant to this time of year since the new year is right around the corner. I really did like the photos because they added more content about the writers goals for the upcoming year and sort of an example of what she was trying to accomplish. This is my favorite photo from the website because it's SO COOL. I really hope I can capture a photo like this in the future. In the mountains, along a road, looking like you are in the middle of nowhere. That is AWESOME!!!!!! The rules of photography used in this photo are simplicity and depth. Jenna Martin was the one who took th
