Portfolio Winner:
1. Some of the strengths that the photographer has were the different frames the emotions that were easily seen in the photos and the use of creativity that was shown in the photos.
2. I think some of the different strengths in the photo was how each photo was different from the other and didn't all look the same or alike. Some weaknesses that I saw was some of the action in the photos and it was to much and it was hard to see what was really happening in the photo.

Contest recap:
The judges go through the portfolios again and look back at some of the portfolios that they liked and the different strengths that each of the photos in the portfolio and the differences in the different strengths of the portfolios that they liked.

Part 2- Individual Images
1. One image that I agree with the judges on is an image of a tennis player. The judges like how much emotion is in the image and almost how powerful the image is along with the clear idea of what is happening in the image. I also like how simple the photo is but the different lighting in the photo.
2. One photo that I do not agree with the judges on is images of greyhound dog racing. They are good and people can easily see what is happening in the photo. I don't like how the photo almost feels blank and just looks like a photo with nothing behind it.

landscapes

1. You need to find visually compelling locations, then you need to figure out the right time of the day and the right season to visit them. You should also look at pictures of the place online with google maps.
2. Photographer's Ephemeris.
3. The foreground and the background become compressed and appear as if they are close together.
4. ND grad filter to capture the detail from the sky and landscape.
5. You will need suitable clothing to protect from the rain or wind, a waterproof plastic bag for your camera, cleaning cloths or a microfiber towel.

Merger photo

1. I think the spacing of the person and keeping the camera at the same level when taking all the photos.

2. Maybe in front of a wall in the courtyard or out near the portables.

3. I think something creative would be to use different poses instead of having the same stance or pose to add more interest to the photo.

4. I think that wearing something that stands out against the background you are going to use so you are easily spotted or so that you blend into the background.

HDR photo

HDR photography

1. A manipulation that you need to make to your camera to create a HDR photo you will need to have a camera with a auto exposure bracketing or you'll have to adjust your camera settings

2. Some equipment that you will need to take this kind of photo includes a camera with an AEB function, a tripod, and HDR photo blending software.

3. Someone might take an HDR photo to get the exposer that they want without highlights or dark spots in their photo.

4. I think that the photos will be brighter in color or have color pops within the photo and it might also be clearer in a way and might look less realistic.

final exam preview

1. I don't really have that much experience working with videos but have used a few different things for other projects a while ago.

2. I think the difference between all those things is that the quality of the video will be different and maybe the sound and the pixelation will also be different too.

3. Some ideas that I would be of getting a party(like a birthday) showing the process of that, or maybe the process of our house coming together since we are still moving.

4. I think that the whole thing can be made of fast moving still pictures or you can add photos during the middles of end of the video.

5. I think that if there is something in the video that looks hard to tell what it is or if you want to explain something that is happening in the movie.

Nut graf

In journalism a nut graf is a paragraph that explains the context of the story. A nut graf also puts the story in context and tells the readers why the story is important. To many editors the nut graf is the most important part of the story because it tells the readers why they should continue reading the full story. A nut graf serves as many different purposes such as justifying the point of the story by directing readers to supporting material that helps readers see why the story is important. Also nut grafs provide a transition from the lead to the rest of the story. Finally nut grafs tells the readers why the story matters at this point in time. A nut graf is also a paragraph or sentence that summarizes the essence of the story without giving every detail.
