Front Pages of the World

  1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why? Daily News New York, because there is not many words but big pictures on the cover which makes me want to read the inside  
  2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? Casual Killers because it goes well with the story of the brothers involved in the Boston bombing
  3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? Just one, which is about the Boston bombing
  4. 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 pictures and the main story on the cover and the page of where you can read more about it on the bottom of the article
  5. 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. There is a headline, pictures, captions, the issue, how much it is, the title of the magazine, and the date it was out and it is all different on each of the magazines

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to take pictures of animals because it is used to zoom in really close, without you having to get close to the subject.

I would use a prime lens when taking pictures at a wedding because it helps make the pictures brighter when you are in a dark place.

I would use a wide-angle lens when taking a picture of a scenery like the Grand Canyon to get as much of it as possible in the picture.

Vocabulary:

Depth of Field (shallow and wide)-the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.
Light (angle and intensity)-controls the brightness of the picture
Shadows Diffusion-Scattering beam of light in different directions
Exposure-The amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph
Aperture (f-stop)-Indicates the size of the lens aperture used during the process of taking a photograph
Shutter speed-The unit of measurement which determines the how long shutter remains open as the picture is being taken
ISO-Measures the sensitivity of the image sensor

SLO Practice

Who- Marley the champion hound dog
What- Drooling
Where- Austin animal shelter
When- Sunday afternoon, yesterday
Why- He was found on the road and needs to be adopted
How- Call the animal shelter at 484-2222 or check their website

Headline:
 Any One Want a Champion Dog

Caption:
 Marley the champion hound dog drools in excitement while he waits for his favorite care taker to give him a treat.  Marley was found three weeks ago on the street and needs a new loving home, to adopt him call the shelter at 484-2222 or check their website.

Rules:
 Rule of thirds-in the picture, the dog is to the right
 Simplicity- there is nothing in the background to distract you from the dog

 It has human interest because the caption of adoption pulls at your heart strings and makes you feel sorry for the dog.
