Photos everyone should know how to make

From this website I learned how to use photos in photoshop to transform pictures to look completely different and unique then the average picture whether it was adding a color effect or combining two different themed photos. I also learned how to create a perspective visual effect to a photo. I can use this later in this class to create really unique and different photos and work with photoshop in new ways. This website expanded my knowledge on the use of Photoshop.

Portraits

This website was all about giving tips to help ensure a good outcome when taking photos and to have the photographers pictures more unique rather then being cliche. The tips ranged from angling the photos to breaking the rules of photography. From this site I learned that its always good to create a conversation with the subject so they feel less intimidated, bringing the model out of their comfort zone is also good in creating a fantastic photo, making the subject look away from the camera creates dynamic and is not so cliche, and that sometimes in order to take a really amazing photo thats different the rules of photography may need to be broken.

Photography Resolutions for 2015

This website was all about the top 10 resolutions that photographers have made for themselves. They were all ways to improve their photography and their life through the use of photography. My favorite resolutions made were take more photos of your loved ones because I think this is important for not only photographers but everyone. Its always good to capture memories to look back on and remember. In this website I learned how to better myself through photography and how to put it to good use. This relates to photography because it shows ways to use photography to help you live a better lifestyle.

Magazine Cover Peer Review

1. The magazine I looked at was called Capture created by Michael Huerta.
2. Two things I liked about this magazine was that it's simple and the title and subtitles stand out.
3. I think the background could be a little more unique but I still think its really nice.
4. I picked this cover because of the simplicity and the overall neatness that caught my eye. It looks professional.
5. Yes there is a bar code.
6. I think the bar code does help make the cover look more like a magazine.
7. Im pretty sure the photo captured is a self portrait.

Prompt Shoot Peer Review

My favorite photo of Kendall's would be the footprints on. I love the angle at which she took the photo and that the shoe was captured in the rule of thirds. I especially like the focus of the clear shoe and the blurred out background of the leaves.

Finding my least favorite picture of Kendall's is a little tricky because all of her photos are so good. My least favorite picture of hers would  be the eight one just because it didn't look as different as the other ones but it was still really good.

Overall Kendall's pictures were all very unique and captured professionally. It was obvious that she really knows what she is doing and took account of all the rules and ways of capturing a good image.

Since Kendall's pictures were all amazing Id say for her to be a little more risky and experimentful when capturing her images.

I think Kendall most successfully captured the prompt footprints and connected the best out of her four. They where very clear and unique.

I think she least successfully captured the prompt pose, although it does work I think she could of been more creative.

2. My resolution for 2015 is to eat very healthy and take out all sugars and junk food from my diet and to not procrastinate on assignments.
3. Im looking forward to summer of 2015 and spring break.

Best of 2014

This was the most important event in 2014 to me because when ebola broke out that all people would hear about. It was all over the news in the U.S. Lots of schools were shut down due to it. People in texas got it and died bringing people fear.

I think that Frozen was the most popular movie in 2014 because when it came out everyone raved over it. All ages young and old were able to watch and love it. All year long people have talked about it and especially sing the songs on the soundtrack.

I thought this was the most popular song of 2014 because when it first came out everyone really liked it and new of it. It was very catchy and up beat, the song played in stores and repeatedly played on the radio. To this day when listening to the radio you hear it play multiple times in one day.

Robin Williams seemed to be the most important person of 2014 because he made a really important impact on people of all ages through out the time he was alive and even after he passed. He starred in many children and adult movies and tv shows, spreading good messages and morals to all ages. When he passed many people who knew him and didnt were affected showing the importance of his life.

Photos of 2014

This photo was one of my favorites because I love the combination that the fireworks, sky, and stars create. I also like the reflection of the color in the water and the texture of the waves surrounding the people.

I like this picture because I love Beyonce and I love the fog mixed with the lights creating colored fog surrounding them.

I like this picture because I love looking at dancers and I love the way the photographer captured the dancers movement.
