Academic Shoot

In this picture, I used the Rule of Thirds. I put the girl in the right third of the picture. The subject of this picture is the girl using the fire extinguisher which is aimed at her target. Yes, it is clear to the people viewing my photo what the subject of the picture is. 









The rule of composition I used is Balance. There is a nice spread of people's different heights in the picture. In this picture, the subject is the teacher instructing her students what to do a the whiteboard. I think the subject is mostly clear to viewers, the only thing they might not see is what the teacher is instructing them to do. In order to make sure people know what the subject is, I could've stepped back to where what they were doing on the whiteboard could be seen. 





The rule of composition is Balance as well. The students fill the picture and Chef is at the head of the table, looking the other way, balancing out the amount of people looking in one direction. The subject of this photo is Chef talking to his students about safety procedures. I don't think the subject is very obvious to viewers, but one thing I could've done differently to ensure they knew the subject is gotten a shot of him holding the fire extinguisher. This would've made it clear that he is teaching his students the safety procedures.

    I really like your subjects! They're exciting and action-packed, especially in your first picture.

    Good images. The first is awesome, but it is slightly out of focus, you just missed it by a little bit. The second is also slightly fuzzy. I am also not sure who I am supposed to be looking at. The third is okay, but again the focal point is kind of hard to determine. Work hard to get close and make sure we have a very clear subject.

Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo? Why or why not? No, it is not acceptable period to change a person's body to make it look "perfect". It's unethical because people should be comfortable enough in their own skin so that they don't want to have their body altered. It also sends the wrong message to people, making them think they need to look like that

Personal Essays

1. One idea the article gave me that I can use to decide on a topic is to make sure I feel very strongly about the subject. It doesn't matter if it's something big or small, as long as you have very strong opinions about it. 2. An idea from the article I should keep in mind while writing the piece is to write kind of like I'm talking, loose and comfortable. Also I should make sure to include many details to ensure that the readers can relate to my story. 3. One idea that I will keep in mind is the many different types of hooks. You can hook the audience with a question, metaphor, a quote, and more.

Front Pages of the World

My favorite nespaper front page is the one for Albany, New Yorks's Times Union. This is because it has many differnt stories and there will be at least one that would appeal to someone. My favorite headline from the newspaper is "Their generous hearts helping others" because it appeals to my emotions. Especially with a baby being the picture, it makes me want to read more about what was happening in the picture. On the front page there are six different stories. After seeing all of the front pages for the various newspapers I looked at, I noticed that they all have huge text in bold letters for the headline in the top center of the page, usually paired with a large picture, to grab people's attention. Differences I saw between some of the front pages are the amount of stories and also the main stories. For example, in Austin's front page the biggest headline is about Karolyi Ranch and how many gymnasts were abused there and how it is to be investigated. Whereas in
