" Matthews friend said this about him and its just really cool and its at the very end of the article.
The lead sentence was okay, I liked it enough to keep reading but it was kinda basic.
A2- Its a picture of the teacher of the year and he's teaching his class. I like the picture, i think it could've been taken at a better angle, but overall its a good picture.
the picture shows rule of thirds because he's not just dead center he's off to the side a little.
the main subject is the teacher of the year marco bazan
yes, i think its exposed properly
not really, he's just kinda standing there.
B1- its a picture of a little girl with her horse. I thinks its so cute she is resting her head againts the horse and it seems to take the rules of photography in consideration
the picture shows balance because you got the girl on one side and the horse on the other
the main subject is the girl
the photo might be a little over exposed but not much
no the horse and her are on the same level
B7- its a picture of the yo-yo kid playing with his yo-yo. I love this picture i think its really clean and nice and perfect.
the picture shows simplicity because he's just against a white background and all the focus is on him
the main subject is matthew lane
yeah, it is exposed perfectly
i mean he's just standing there all by himself so no not really
A8- Its a picture of a girl doing a backflip. I think its pretty cool and she's right in the center of everything.
the picture could kind of show lines because of the balance beams
the main subject is the girl doing a backflip
i thinks its properly exposed
yeah i think so because of the balance beams in the foreground
B8- its a picture of the women's march. i think its cool it shows depth of field.
the picture shows depth of field because of the elements in the back and foreground
the main subject is the sign over the girls head
yes i think its properly exposed
yes because of the elements in both the back and foreground
my favorite is the one of the kid yo-yo'ing
i just think its really cool and simple
simplicity
i guess the one of the guy screwing screws in
there is a big light behind him that kinda messes it up for me
i think the women march would've been cool because you would get to go somewhere cool
i would give the papers photos a 8 out 10. there were a lot the really really good and some that were just ehh. i think more rules of photography could be implemented but i also think a news paper should be more about the stories which were really good
