Headline:
Caption: Isiah, the hound dog, Drools for food at the Austin Humane Society on April 14. The hound dog ran away, and was adopted two weeks ago by a phone call to the Humane Society.

Rule of photography: Background, simplicity, Frame, Cropping, Avoiding mergers, and Rule of Thirds.

News Value: Human interest, Timeliness, Proximity, Novelty.

Lighting and Exposures: This photo was exposed properly because nothing is to dark, or to light.
The light is clearly coming from behind the photographer.

Lens- Prime Lens

I would make this photo better by showing more of the dogs body, and show where his position. Also I would space the nose and the frame.


 

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

1. I would use a telephoto lens at a Parade when I am far away, which would give me the ability to Zoom In and take pictures from my position.
2. I would use a Prime lens to take pictures at a party that is inside, which would give me a good picture because of the large aperture and low light.
3. I would use a wide-angle lens to take a Family picture which would be able to get everyone in the picture because the lens are wide.

 Photography Vocabulary:

   1) Depth of Field- The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to focus in a camera. This sharpest the focus of the subject to make is appear better.
   2) Light- Is the sight that makes things visible, and is why we are able to see.
   3) Shadow- It is a dark area which is produced by a object that goes between light, and a surface. This makes the photo come out more interesting when it includes shadows of the subject.
   4) Diffusion- It is to scatter light which is used in photography to make the photo more clear with less light.
   5) Exposure- Is the amount of light that reaches a light-material to create a photo with a good light level,
   6) Aperture- Is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens to allow light to enter. This creates a photo that is adjusted if it enough light enter's.
   7) Shutter speed- It determines how long the shutter is open to take the picture. This is used to capture a photo at a good time to see with out being blurry.
