Magazine Tips #1

1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that's the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that's the image's appeal)

3. Arousing curiosity (that's to pull the casual glancer in)

4. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that's to promise benefits)

5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that's showing off the service)

American Soldier Slide Show

A. The most powerful image from the slideshows would be where his mom is crying when his platoon is coming into the gym with patriotic music.

B. Set #1 At home in Denver - image 1 through image 9

     Set #2 At Basic Training - image 10 through image 50

     Set #3 In Iraq - image 51 through image 70

     Set #4 Back in Denver - image 71 through image 82

C. The set of images that were the most powerful are images 10 through image 50. The reason is because it is him going through the basic training and just how his life is being affected through the process.

a. all of the images work together by placing the photos in numerical order and tell the story pretty precise in a timely manner.

3.

A. The verbs are in present tense.

B. The captions enhance the photographs by telling the stories an what is particularly happening in the photo and tells the viewer what was going on during the time of the picture.

4.

A. 

1.As the team of four men line up to get ready to take over a house as practice to learn the procedures of taking down. Ian leads the group, instruction them on what to do.

2. Moving up in the ranks, Ian gets fitted for his new class uniform. The millions of suits in background fade out as they keep going.

3. Ian checks his form, which is very key when it comes to saluting. His fellow soldiers look straight ahead, confident on their form.

SELF PORTRAIT AND PORTRAITS PART 1

11. Frame Your Subject

Framing is a technique where by you draw attention to one element of an image by framing it with another element of the image.

Framing gives an image depth and draws the eye to a point of interest in the image.

You could do it by placing your subject in a window or doorway, have them look through a small gap or even use their hands around their face. See more examples of framing in photography here.

Get Closer

The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.

Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.

      I like this picture because it gives the subject room and gives the viewer an idea of what the person in photo is doing.

 I like this photo because it has a good idea on where and what the subject is doing. The focus is good because you can see the main subject and the background are focused.

This one really caught my eye because when you see it you can feel the emotion in the picture. The dark effects that were chosen are perfect and catch my eye every time.

This is also caught my eye because it shows the girls perspective and is very dramatic.

This one caught my eye because the focus and the blur behind him is really cool. The filters that were used was a really good choice.

The picture gives the viewer and the person space to look and I like the dark shadow that is layer around the frame.

I will probably shoot one of my friends or a family member. I will take the pictures at my house or  somewhere at bowie outside. I will make sure to get closer to the subject and focus on the rule of thirds when I shoot.

Aperture

1. The pupil is the part of the body we can closely relate to aperture.
2. The smaller the Aperture the larger the f-stop, the higher the Aperture the smaller the f-stop.
3. A large f-number will bring all foreground and background objects in focus, while a small f-number will isolate the foreground from the background by making the foreground objects sharp and the background blurry.

                                                                                             b. 1/250th of a second
                                                                                             c. 1/250th of a second      
                                                                                             d. 1/300th of a second
                                                                                             e. 1/300th of a second
                                                                                             f. 1/300th of a second

2. The Aperture Priority: you set the lens aperture, while the camera automatically sets the the shutter speed.
The Shutter Priority: where you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically selects the aperture.
The Manual mode: where you set both shutter speed and aperture manually.

ISO 200                                                     ISO 3200      

1.  It gives the viewer a better view and sense in what the players are doing. it gives it more focus.
2. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light.
3. A higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera.

Aperture: 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22

Husband Photos of Wife

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images?

        The emotions that I felt changed as I kept scrolling down. I felt happy and peaceful, but as I kept scrolling towards the bottom, I started getting more sad and showing for sympathy for the girl in the photos.

2. The photographer said this: "These photography do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?

          I think that after looking at the photos, the comment became more real and strong. After reading the comment and viewing the pictures, it makes you realize how special a relationship is between a husband and his wife.

3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?

          I think I could because I would care so much for my wife and if I knew she was dying I would document her last few months with me. I definitely think I could do it.

4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say?

          Thank you for taking these photos and showing us what real love is. These photos are so cool and touching. I'm sorry for your loss and I think that you took these photos to remember her would be the best way to remember a loved one that has passed.
