Front Pages of the World

My favorite front cover is The Miami Herald because I like how the whole thing is organized and how Miami Heat is on the cover.  My favorite headline from this newspaper is Quick and Easy it makes me want to read more about it and a for a basketball fan.. it catches their attention and continue reading. There are 13 stories on this front page. Something i've noticed about all these cover pages is that there is always a main photo with a caption and a major story about it. Some differences on these covers is that on some there are more pictures and more stories.

SLO final review

who- Charrin the Saint Bernard
what- slobbering, there's a hamburger in front of him
when- yesterday, Monday April, 15
where- at the animal shelter
why- he has yet to be adopted and needs a new home
how- call the animal shelter @ 484-2222

Hungry Lost Dog
At the Austin Animal Shelter, Monday April, 15, Charrin a Saint Bernard was slobbering because of the delicious looking hamburger right in front of him. Charrin is one of the lost dogs in the Shelter and if your interested in an amazing pet, call the Animal Shelter 484-2222

Simplicity- it has a simple background, doesnt distract away from the dog
Cropping- only a certain portion of the dog, not the whole dog
Rule of thirds

Human interest 

Lighting/ Exposure

Lens
prime- it didn't need to be zoomed in and the dog is proportional

Make it better- change the setting, move him to the kennel, see more of the dog

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to take a picture of a little flower, so that I would just focus on that.

I would use a prime lens to if I were going to take a picture of a sunset because it's a low light and i wouldn't have to zoom

I would use a wide-angle lens to take a picture of a field of animals just so that i could fit everything in the picture.

Depth of Field (shallow and wide) is what's in focus
Light (angle and intensity) is how bright or how low light is
Shadows Diffusion, softening the light or absence of light
Exposure is how the picture looks like
Aperture (f-stop) is how big an opening is
Shutter speed how fast it opens and closes
ISO is how sensitive the sensor is to light
