Front Pages Of The World

1. My favorite newspaper front is "Daily News, published in Los Angeles, California USA" where up too fifteen people are killed in fertilizer plant explosion, because I feel this is an important issue where people need to be informed about something world wide like this, it's a dangerous issue and cause a lot of deaths also its an interesting topic to be concerned about. 

2. My favorite headline from the issue would have to be, "suspects photos released by FBI" Because I feel this topic is interesting and I find it funny that the headlines newspaper front put the suspects business out for worldwide to see. 

3.There about eight stories on my favorite newspaper front, they are scattered among the front page for everyone to see and read. 

4. I have noticed that on the front page of my newspaper front is that all the lettering size is exactly the same except for the headlines, the headlines are maximized size to big where the lettering size can grab the readers attention to read where they want you to read, also I have noticed the bigger issues of the photos are different sizes the more important issues there photos are bigger and more visual to see. 

5. Things that are different from different newspaper front is, lettering font is different some are times new romans or some are different by the different lettering font some are not similar and some are. Also some newspaper font doesn't have that much information as others.

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

1. I would use a telephoto lens to take a photograph of the landscape of the grand cannon from a certain distance to view that the grand cannon is 2d and flattened out.

2. I would use a prime lens to take pictures of a football game when the sun is lowering down, without being able to zoom in I can capture the whole game as well as also my main object.

3. I would use a wide angled lens to take pictures of a downtown parade going on, therefore I can capture the whole parade happening.




Depth of Field (shallow and wide)- refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. It varies depending on camera type, aperture and focusing distance. This relates to taking better photos by making the photographs appear sharper and easier to view.

Light (angle and intensity)- The lighting in your snapshot matters whether you can see the picture or not wether it comes out clear and visible, the angling of your snapshot matters and makes your photograph more visible and interesting to view. This relates to taking better photos by viewing your snapshots to make them more clearer and interesting to look at. 

Shadows- Interesting and artistic shadow but only the shadow and not the thing that casts the shadow. For example, a curved vase shadow. The shadow of a tree (but not the tree). For interest, find shadows on wals, on sidewalks and walls, on stairs, and on other objects, The shadow should work in harmony with the background to create a pleasing result. The photo must not include the thing that casts the shadow. This relates to taking better photos by making your snapshots more interesting by adding texture with the shadows.

Composition, lenses and photography terms

1. Rule of thirds- To position the most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect.

2. Balancing Elements- Placing your main subject off-centre, as with the rule of thirds, And to balance the "weight" of your subject by including another object of lesser importance to fill the space. 

3. Leading Lines- There are many different types of line - straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial etc - and each can be used to enhance our photo's composition.

4. Symmetry and Patterns- To break the symmetry or pattern in some way, introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.

6. Background- A plain and unobtrusive background and compose your shot so that it doesn't distract or detract from the subject.

7. Create depth- To create depth in a photo by including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background, overlapping where you deliberately partially obscure one object with another.

8. Framing- You surround objects around your main subject, more focused image which draws your eye naturally to the main point of interest.
