Architectural Photography – Architecture photography is the capturing of angles, shapes, perspectives of buildings and structures, accentuating the lines and angles of the building.

Bridge – In Bridge you should CUT the junk, RATE the rest and LABEL the best, as well as adding any information about the photograph in the description field as necessary.

Caption – Every picture needs a caption! The first sentence should be about something obvious in the picture, something the reader could come to the conclusion of just by looking at it. The 2nd sentence should be something the reader wouldn’t know by looking at the picture, such as so-n-so came in 1st place in this race followed by so-n-so#2.

Dominant photo – The dominant photo is the main photo in a layout. The only photo or box that the eyeline can run through.

Effects of shutter speed – Faster shutter speeds freeze action while slower shutter speeds can’t capture it as well but has the advantage of letting more ambient light in without the use of a flash.

Eyeline – The eyeline is the line above or below the middle of a layout that the entire layout revolves around, meaning nothing can cross it, with the exception of the dominant photo.

Internal Margins – Internal margins are used so that the layout it even around all edges and isn’t “funky” looking.

Panning – Panning is used when the subject is moving across you or sometimes towards you, but it is the act of moving with your subject to catch a blur behind the subject but have the ending motion at the shutting of the shutter to capture the subject in focus and as sharp as possible.

Pica – The pica is used as a measurement in layouts equally 1/6 of an inch. Used in columns in layouts to help keep things separated and prevent large white spaces on a page.

Portrait photography- Formal portraits are set up and are not capturing a candid moment, the subject usually looking at the camera and posing with a set up background, such as a backdrop or posed setting.

Sports and Action Photography – Sports Photography can have either safety shots nad or money shots, such as the winning goal in soccer or the last second taken at the finish line of a race with the runner’s arms in the air as they run through the ribbon. Sports are typically shot at a high Shutter speed to freeze action.

Spread- The spread is the draft before the design is put onto the computer and turned into a layout. The spread must follow all the rules such as the eyeline and photo and caption rules.

Zone focus – Zone focus is typically used in sports photography when the photographer focuses on a specific zone such as a basket ball hoop area or the net for volleyball and when the action is in that specific zone the photographer is already focused and snaps the shot as soon as he sees the shot he wants.

Dustin Snipes

The judges thought:
he had composition Thought he did a good job of capturing all the good emotions
Captured good meaningful moments Had a "coolness" about it Liked that he was in the action and captured it nicely

Portfolio I

Name of Photographer-
Josh Birnbaum

General focus-
Story telling

3 problems the judges had-
Don't like focus of most pictures

The repetition of arrests and wheelchair stories
Don't like distractions (nose pickers)

2 things the judges liked-
Getting in real tight/ in the middle of the action
liked the details

Overall Impression-
Overall, i liked it, but i do agree with the judges about the repetition thing and the whole put in a really good picture then following it with a bad one is not a good idea.

After 10 minutes. i picked the one that was tittled "April Rain Song"April Rain SongLet the rain kiss youLet the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid dropsLet the rain sing you a lullabyThe rain makes still pools on the sidewalkThe rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at nightAnd I love the rain. Langston Hughes

This is my favoite photo. It's a mix between a portrait and a candid i think. The depth of field was very shallow because the people in the background weren't too far away, and yet they are out of focus. It also has a bit of the rule of thirds.

I really like this photo because of the story it tells.
Most portraits include a face which give away the emotion and tone
the photograph is trying to portray. The sock on the
girl shows a sign of carefree and fun with the stripes. And not being able
to see her face and seeing her arms in the
arm also gives a feeling of wonder and youth, that's why i like it.

10 National Geographic June 1985Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, the untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely used photos in the world.This is my favorite because of the lightingon the girl's face and and the way he eyes are illuminated,as well as the composition and framing.
