Website Review

The website I picked among the 7 websites is called Fstoppers.
It is essentially a photography community for photographers to post videos of lessons, and their work. Also, there are videos that are new and different things photographers have tried. Some videos include, "Maxmax Launches Monochrome Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X100S" and "How to Quickly and Easily Create Your Own Photoshop Actions." What I believe the intention of the authors of the website were, was to create more a less a social hub for photographers to become known and for learning photographers to come and gain information and ideas. An average person can gain basic camera techniques, and even some unique ones that aren't normal to learn right away! I actually already added this website to my bookmarks because it could definitely come in handy in the future! I would definitely recommend this website to an already photography experienced person because the website has some really dope stuff on it! I would give it a rating of a 4.5 on a scale of 1-5 only because the website is kinda tricky to get around.
As I was glancing around the gallery of the website I came across this photograph.
It is SUCH a beautiful photo. I think of elegant and lovely if I had to describe this photo.
Doing a hair flip is actually a very hard thing to make look nice, but the subject makes it
look EFFORTLESS. Glorious and easy, and even if it was photoshopped, the editor did a really good photoshop job and must have spent a great deal of time on the photo. I really enjoy this photo because it displays some of the techniques the photographers were talking about in their videos on the website.

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.
