Long Exposure Photography

I'd like to learn how to do this type of photography a bit better because the results you get are always really interesting. For photos of streets, I find the lights trails to be visually appealing. But there's also many other things that long exposure photography makes interesting. Things like waterfalls, star trails, and like above, carnival rides, look really cool in photos with long exposures. Photos with long exposures are also appealing to the average person, which would make them easier to sell. I've seen many long exposure photos of streets and bridges (like the 360 bridge) blown up and made into posters.

Front Pages of the World

1. Corpus Christi Caller-Times. It's my favorite because it has an interesting dominant photo that draws your attention and it covers most of the big things from the day.  
2.  
   
   
   
   3. Corpus Christi, TX
   4. My favorite headline is "Tragedy turns driving force" because it tells you just enough to get you interested and wanting to read it.
   5. There are three stories on the front page.
   6. Some similarities between all the photos is that they all have a dominant photo, they all have the generally the same size text on the headlines and stories, and they all have teasers.
   7. Some differences are that some front pages have more text than photos, there are lots of different layouts, and they all have different things on the front like weather previews, ads, or QR codes.

2. For all of these photos, the photographers just had to be aware of all of the social conflicts and issues present in society. For example, the top and bottom ones seem to have happened at organized protests within fairly large, now dangerous cities. The middle one probably occurred in a more rural area in order to hide it from the general public. The photographers also probably had to be ready to flee if things got worse since all the situations were very heated.

3. The writer suggests to do some research prior to the event as well as talk to some people at the event then use that knowledge to try and capture the emotions of the event.

4. The author suggests to frame the face with an interesting background. For example, he framed his shot of a couple of people with the White House to give some context.

5. A photo essay is a collection of photos placed in a specific order to tell the progression of events, emotions, and concepts.

6.

• Find a topic you actually have an interest in.
• Do your research on the event, the people, the theme, etc. 
• After you do the research, determine how you want to convey your story depending on the context.
• Connect your photo essay with your audience using emotion.
• Plan what kind of shots you want that will work best to tell your story.

Pet Photography

 

 

Pet Portrait Project Preview

1. Dogs
2. In my house and in my backyard.
3. Indoor lighting, natural lighting, and maybe flash.
4. Trying to get my dogs to stay in a position good for photos since they're not trained that well.
5. I'll just stay patient and shoot a lot so I'll have plenty of photos to choose from.
6. I like how the photo really portrays the mood of the dog and has dramatic lighting. To try it, I'll try and wait until my dogs are relaxed and used to the camera, then I'll try and get some dramatic lighting from either a window or a flash.
