Photography:

1) The photo is a little grainy. But it might just be because of the news paper.
I see repetition in this picture because the cheerleaders are lined up. also there is depth of field because you can see mostly everything clearly. the main subject id Jordan Haschke. I think the picture is properly exposed.

2) The photo in B1 of the girl putting the sattle on the horse is really good because it points out the colors. The hose looks a little blurry though. I see fill the frame because the whole picture is full and balance. The mail subject is either the horse or Celeste Hermes. The picture looks a little to bright. This picture is shallow because only the main subjects are in focus.

3) The photo on B4 on the bottom, is ok. I don't really like it because the lighting looks really weird and some are in the light while some are in the shadows. I see repetition in this picture because the students are lined up. i don't think the picture is properly exposed. I just don't really like this picture in general.

4) I chose the picture with the girl doing a back handspring. I like this picture because it is properly exposed and it looks really hard to get a picture like this. There is no depth, the camera is just focused on the girl. The main subject us Kate Stubbs. I see leading lines with the balance beams that are lines.

5) On page B8, I chose the picture of the tow women kissing because i think that it creates awareness and i think not a lot of people would ave thought of putting that picture on the paper. I like how everything in the back ground is blurred so you only see the two women. I think the exposure is good. Also i see balance with the two people on each side.

Front Pages of the World

What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why? 
My favorite front page is the "am Newyork" because there have been a lot of talk about clowns and it made me want to read the article when i saw it. 

What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? 
I like "Send Out The Clowns" because it seems kind of mysterious and creepy. 

How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 
They only talk about the carnivals and a suspect being spotted. But i don't see anything else on the front cover. 

What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.
They all have one big picture on the front and some small ones. They also have columns and writing next to or under the pictures.   They title of the magazine are all bit and they stand out. 

What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc.
They are all about different things and the names are different. They place things differently.

Website Review

I picked the Fstoppers website because I really like to know when photography technology things are coming out. This website is a little bit confusing because I don’t know where everything is. I like that they have different groups that you can join. Also they have a community button that has some groups and photo of the day. They have popular photos, top rated photos, and newest photos.
Things that they write about are some new gadgets for your camera, ways to get great light and a proposal with a new definition.
They have tips for fixing things, what to expect from people, and how to deal with problems. The article, “Six Tips for New Freelance Corporate Photographers”, is my favorite because they explain things really well and I feel like I can either relate or I can understand what to do differently. I feel like the writer knows what he’s doing and has gone through this before so he knows what to relate and how to deal with the situation.
I would recommend this website because I really liked it but I was a little confused at first where everything was, but after you look around on the website, it starts to make more sense. I would not book mark this because I don’t usually go on a computer but if I did, I would because they give some really good tips that I could use in the future. I really like that they post new gadgets because a lot of people like to know when new things get out on the market so posting that just makes people want to continue reading.
