front pages of the world


  1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why? the times. its simple and catches the readers eye.
  2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? "lying here, she is one of us, subject to the common destiny of all human beings" yes i want to know who they are talking about.
  3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? just one. its a funeral in progress
  4. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc. the letters are really small except for the headlines or main story. the pictures a too.
  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. how many pictures there are on the cover and the size and color of the words. some look crowded while others don't.

i would... and definitions

I would use a telephoto lens to ... take a picture of a football game in action. 

I would use a prime lens to ... take a picture where there is low light and want fine detail. example at a basketball game.

I would use a wide-angle lens to ... take a picture of the band during the football half time shows. you can get more people in the frame.




depth of field: range of distance that appears acceptably sharp
shallow- when the focus is on one object in the frame
wide- the whole picture is in focus

light intensity angle: The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light.

shadows: light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object

diffusion:when the image is projected through a material that isn't quite perfectly clear.
exposure:

aperture: f-stop- the hole where light travels through, determines how much light is going into the frame.

shutter speed: determines the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor.

favorite magazine


Finalist
W, Sept. 2011: "The Fashion Issue"
(Photograph by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott)
For W's biggest fashion issue of the year, the magazine celebrated the ways women today transform themselves by showcasing actress Kristen Stewart as readers had never seen her before. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot transformed the 21-year-old cover model from the Twilight teenager that audiences know best into the glamorous, grown-up vixen she's becoming. "Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves," Stewart says playfully on the cover, tempting readers to pick up the issue and see for themselves.




the photographer caught a side that people almost never get to see of kristen because she dresses kinda like a hobo and they actually made her look beautiful here.

the holidays were a lot of fun for me because my mom had the christmas eve dinner at our house and all of our uncles and tias came over and i git to see my niece again! on christmas eve it is my uncles birthday so we celebrated his birthday and christmas eve dinner. we had a big variety of food including tamales, mole, enchiladas, sopes, pozole, menudo, punch, potato salad and carne asada. (they were mostly mexican plates and goodies). The next day we all went to my tia's house to eat a christmas feast and only some of the family showed up because the others had a hangover. i have uncles who drink a lot when they party. when new years eve rolled in we went to another tia's house and we partied there until like 7 am the next day. i was tiered so i slept until 5 in the after noon. my sleep schedule was all off and still is up to today. it was also my birthday on january 6 and i loved it. i share a birthday with my friend fernanda tapia, my cousin in mexico, and my tia's boyfriend. then i came back to school.

news of 2012

the shooting of newtown elementary school.

best movie 2012

they were both great movies. 

best song/s 2012

 for the best song of the year i could not pick just one, there are 4 that i really really like and they are just sung/written by amazing artists.

one direction- what makes you beautiful It helps a lot of people understand that even though they might have flaws they only help increase things that make them beautiful and why some may not like those things there will always be people who like/love them because its unique about them.

cher lloyd- want you back The song is so upbeat and catchy that you just want to sing and dance along to it, even though the song talks about cher being jealous of her ex being happy with another girl when cher broke up with him to make him want to be with her but he moved on because 'Aint nobody got time for that' just kidding, he wasn't going to play her game.

olly murs ft chiddy bang- my heart skips a beat Olly has always had amazing songs and the messages are always towards girls that are different form what guys would normally look at. skips a beat is a song where he talks about a girl he likes that he can't help but think of a life with her and its always upbeat.

ed sheeran- the a-team Ed has always written all of his songs by himself and is breaking out in the united states after many fans heard his music and about him when they realized he was close friends with the boy band  one direction. ed isn't a very good looking person but he has a beautiful soul and character and everyone should listen to his music because he talks about actual things. the a team is about a beautiful  female who because of her addiction to, whats called, a team drugs, can't live a good life. she works by selling her body to complete strangers for the night, she dies in the song. her addiction kept her maintaining a house but it wasn't enough. she didn't have a good life, couldn't afford food or much clothes because her addiction was strong and kept her from achieving her goals i life.

and irish (niall is irish from one direction)

best photos of 2012

the little girl is just adorable and has her head held high even though she was near the sandy storm.
 the picture quality is great and you can clearly see the details in the surfer, island, rainbow and sky.
 the railroad tracks are covered in moss and plants because it hasn't been used in a long time and this just makes the place look a lot better.
