Opinion Notes

Characteristics of Columns

  • A column expresses the personal viewpoints of an individual.
  • Includes research and facts.
  • Should be fair and accurate in the information they use.
  • Includes point of view on subjects.

Common Types of Columns

  • News columns: focus on a recents news event
  • Profile columns: focus on an outstanding individual
  • Fashion and fad columns: focus on trends
  • Club columns: focus on activities of campus clubs
  • Newsmaker columns: highlight prominent students, teachers and administrators

Do

  • Vary your subject matter.
  • Look for oddities and the unusual.
  • Use an offbeat style.
  • Keep it short and to the point.
  • Admit when you make a mistake.
  • Have a genuine interest in your readers.
  • Write for your readers instead of yourself.

Don'ts

  • Embarrass anyone without real reason.
  • Assume that you always know best.
  • Claim all the credit.
  • Overuse the work "I".
  • Assume that your ideas and experiences are always fascinating to others.
  • Hesitate to give both sides of the story.

Basic Adjustments in Lightroom and Motion Preview

PRESETS:

1. Presets are basically a way to apply a bunch of changes in one click. 
2. 


3. The preset I'd like to try is for desaturated sports. LINK

MOTION PREVIEW


1. The photographer got this photo by using a slow shutter speed and a tripod so that the middle thing came out still but the moving people had motion blur.
2. 3 Tips I'll Remember:

  1. Use a slow shutter speed
  2. Use a low ISO
  3. Use a smaller aperture if it's too bright
3. I think I'll try shooting some roads in Austin to get light trails from the cars.

RAW Camera File Format and Photography


Three advantages of a RAW file: 
  • higher in dynamic range (ability to display highlights and shadows)
  • the complete (lossless) data from the camera’s sensor 
  • uncompressed

One disadvantage of a RAW file:
  • requires special software to view and edit

Three advantages of a JPEG file: 
  • a standard format readable by any image program on the market or available open source
  • fairly small in file size
  • immediately suitable for printing, sharing, or posting on the Web
One disadvantage of a JPEG file: 
  • lower in dynamic range
  1. All the information in all the pixels within the image because it's not compressed.
  2. White balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colours and saturation.
  3. The camera might not have the RAW format, the RAW files are large files, and you can't convert JPEG to RAW but you can do the opposite.
  4. RAW files give you more flexibility and processing options which is important because editing is usually more important than shooting the photos.
