sports/action shoot

photo 1

Grade 11th, Brandon M. running towards the camera as he practice his running skills for football at Akins High school in the afternoon, as he tries his best for senior year games next year.

Photo 2

Isaiah Lopez, ninth grader from Akins high school practices catching the ball during a football practice in the afternoon on Thursday.

Photo 3

Joseph Featherstone a 10th grader from Akins High school working on his catching skills for foot ball right in the afternoon on a Thursday as he prepares himself for next year and hopes to win.

Photo 4.

This is a really blurry picture but it shows 4 people taking turns to catch the football as the coaches throw it to them to practice on their catching skill if they want to be good succesful football player.

Caption and Evaluation practice

Photo 1.
Headline: Protestors start a Riot for rights!
Caption: Jorge form Houston,Texas started a riot against the officers on a Tuesday as they protest for good rights.


This photo is a example of Leading lines, because if you look at the photo theres a trail and that counts as a line picture as the trail goes on across the field.


This one is a view point. Because you can see as the floating latterns goes up you can see were they are going, which is up to the night sky.


This is an example of Rule of Thirds because hes off to the side and the background is blurry it just fits to be in the rule of thirds.

Japanese Earthquake

I think this is really sad. The way the earthquake destroyed everything, it just looks like a huge mess. The photographer took this picture showing the viewers what this picture is about, so he's like focusing on the main thing that is happening.

I think it was kinda cool how the ship just landed on top of the small building. Though this picture shows that the photographer used viewpoint because you can see where the ship landed and all around it.

If this happened here i would have been scared to death. I really feel bad for them for having a earthquake. This picture kinda reminds me of leading lines because of the road or how the waves are coming down it looks like a line.

Magazine Cover

Magazine covers

1. Early Magazine covers. In the mid 1700's, the magazine's didnt look like nothing how it  looks today like with pictures and less words in front. In the past it didnt have no pictures but just words. Alot of people used to call the magazine as "The Town and Country Magazine" or just "Universal Repository; of Knowledge, Instruction, and Entertaiment." But when they did start putting pictures to the magazine they would mostly model them like the covers of books, providing them with only a title and some data.

2.The Poster Cover. Which is mostly called Pictures that need no words. Means that just putting a photo
on the front cover can just exlain what the magazine would be about even without no words. Though many of the oversized magazines looked like a if they were to be framed and hung on the wall.

3. Picture's Married to Type.

Akins, Building, Happy

AKINS: i think this is a good example of leading lines.

HAPPY

BUILDING: this is a good example for framing.

I like this class. Im thinking right now if i should stay and do Newspaper, because it sounds
really cool. And also kinda hard.

I think this picture shows that everyone is happy that Bin Laden is dead which

to his owners cascket during the funeral, after he was killed during war.
