Tips that I liked: Get up high  and shoot down on your subject or  get as close to the ground as you can and shoot up . Either way you’ll be seeing your subject from an angle that is bound to create interest. A. Looking off camera –  have your subject focus their attention on something unseen and outside the field of view of your camera. This can create a feeling of candidness and also create a little intrigue and interest as the viewer of the shot wonders what they are looking at. This intrigue is particularly drawn about when the subject is showing some kind of emotion (ie ‘what’s making them laugh?’ or ‘what is making them look surprised?’). Just be aware that when you have a subject looking out of frame that you can also draw the eye of the viewer of the shot to the edge of the image also – taking them away from the point of interest in your shot – the subject. 1. Focus upon one element of the image and leave your main subject blurred. To do this use a large ape...

Uncle Jon is not hesitating for on moment to speed down the express way with this new look on the 27th of October. Uncle Jon started this tradition 12 years ago and does it every year since because on that day 12 years ago, he didn't wake up for school in time an he just ran out of his house not caring what he looked like. Marquez is staring at his opponent during the annual Fall Staring Contest event. Marquez has been competing in the Staring Contest ever since he was 10, he has practiced for this event since the beginning of the year. Here we have Martha Jones at the local supermarket showing everyone how she feels about them. Martha had planned on going to the mall, but the nursing home nurses tricked her into going to the grocery store and she decided to put on that lovely sweater.

Africa 1. Reading this article had me feeling very shocked because of the message that was thrown across. I didn't really feel very interested by the beginning of this article but by the end, I  felt like had to know more about this topic. The part that moved me the most was the fact that when he first drove down a road, there were SO many animals roaming wildly. It was 13 years that he traveled that same road again and saw NO animals. He was very interested in photographing these African Animals which made the interview fun to read. 2 & 3.   This is by far my most favorite picture taken by Nick Brandt. I really like this because the mother lion looks so strong and confident. The mother is hesitating for one moment. I also like the picture because the little cub that's in the mother mouth is so cute. The cub is so tiny and his mom is looking after him. There is no fear in either of them and that makes the picture really strong. This image is empowering. 4. The rule...

1. What theme, that we could take here at school and think of one for OFF campus too, could we do a series of these panels to place around the school? A theme that we could take here at school is, emptiness. For example, emptiness of the halls, of the courtyard, or even classrooms. Things that could be done OFF campus to show emptiness are emptiness of streets, emptiness of a restaurant, or even cars in a parking lot because no one is in their cars.  2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones? I think we should open up to cameras. 3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus? I would want to put the mural to be somewhere where people would actually see it. So, I think the mural should be placed by the library, that way when you walk into the academic building, all eyes will be drawn to it.  1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there som...
