Sports Warm Up!

-
When a team wins a game, it is traditional for the coach to get dumped with a liquid like water or Gatorade to celebrate victory. The shutter-speed is slow. It captures some light and no stop-motion. If a higher shutter speed was used it would have been able to capture the water and keep it still in the photo. This is a key moment. It is the moment of victory. This photographer could have lined the right settings up on the camera and had it ready for this moment so the photo could capture the water instead of a blur. The advanced techniques in this photo are balance and rule of thirds. The photo is balanced with players on one side and the coach with the water jug on the other. This photo is also in rule of thirds because the subject, the coach who is getting dumped on, is in the rule of thirds grid perfectly. Although the shutter speed is incorrectly set, the photographer used good judgement of time to capture the water hitting the coach perfectly.

Magazines Part 2

Image Based Magazine Covers: Image Based magazine covers usually have one to three people in the photo, all smiling and looking at the camera. Although that is the normal way to shoot an image based photo, some photographers use a different approach and shoot the person uniquely. For example, maybe the subject(s) are looking away from the camera or at each other. Maybe the subject(s) are frowning or smirking instead of smiling. These variations of an image based cover often hook many viewers as well because they are unique and diverse: what many people like also! Illustration Based Covers: Illustration based covers are used to present something unique, different or amusing. This type of magazine cover is usually used by independently published magazine brands that aren't correlated to other popular newsstand paper and magazine brands. These are usually very well thought out and they create a very meaningful drawing for readers to examine and think about. Illustrat

Critiquing Another Photographer's Academic Shoot

-
https://laurasphoto1.blogspot.com/2018/09/academic-shoot.html I chose to look at Laura's photos! Positive Feedback: 1. I like how Laura captures her rule of thirds picture. The boy has a slight smile on his face and the background includes good contrasting colors. 2. I like how in Laura's photo with the rule of lines the ceiling's lines lead to the girl working on her assignment. The lines on the locker also lead to the subject's paper! Improvements: 1. I think in her avoiding merger picture she could avoid having a merger by capturing the photo at a different angle. Instead of straight on, the camera could be looking down or up at the boy working on a paper.

My Favorite Cover

Favorite: Best Cover Winner GQ "The World's 50 Greatest Living Athletes," November 2017 Fred Woodward, Designer Pari Dukovic, Photographer "When the World's Greatest Living Athlete is also an off-the-court phenom in business, in movies, and increasingly in politics, the time allotted for a photo shoot is limited (it was 45-minutes from the frame to the last). But photographer Pari Dukovic nevertheless captured LeBron James in a timeless, almost deified image that shows the strength, fierceness, and regal nature of GQ’s November cover subject. One worthy of blowing up and framing like a piece of art (which we did)." This portrait of Lebron James is a formal portrait. It is my favorite because the picture presents Lebron as the “King” of basketball. Not only is Lebron wearing a golden leaf crown, but his face is shining because of the golden light which makes him seem like a “heavenly king”. This communicates Lebron James as a ve
