Sports/Action Shoot Evaluation

1.
Jordan Murph

- sports
- irrelevant photos, better selective story focus,  better focus on subjects
-good color, captivating
- i liked how raw some of the photos were, they were crazy cool!


Sam Adams

-bicycles
- captured some unnecessary subjects in the photos, not close enough to the subject, subject was bland
- setting was nicely chosen, good lighting
-each photo told its own story, which made me really enjoy them all

Carlos Delgado

- stories
- cliche, too vibrant, and crowded frames
-nice sports photos,  good stories
-there was good diversity in all the photos, but there was too much black and white.

2.
a) Something the judges noticed that was nice about the award winning portfolio was that there was clear view on the subjects. They were understood and obvious, but creative. There was no bland photos and a good connection between the photographer and subjects in the photographs.
b) I really liked the photographers perspective in the photos he took. Each of the photos had a story that was being told and that was really portrayed well through the photos.


3.
a) The judges spent quite some time choosing their pick, and became a very tough decision which I cannot imagine with all the incredible pieces of work that was entered.
1) I agree with the judges on what they were saying about the photo of a diver in the warm up pool. There were really interesting shapes being created that were pleasing to the eye, as well as being able to get a view of the whole pool.
2) I disagree with the judges on what they said about the photo of the girl with the punching bag. They stated that it wasn't a very good photo, but I thought it was a pretty great photo. In fact, I loved it. I liked the angles and the colorization of the photo.

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
