My past goals and how I did on them

-
At the beginning of the year my three goals were to, improve my photo taking, understanding what photos catch the eye, and understanding what photos go well with photos for newspapers.

 

I believe that I have meet all three of my goals this term. I have improved my photo taking majorly, from the start of my first photo, to my last photo. Learning the better angles of photos so they don't just look plain, and normal.

That is also how I learned what caches peoples eye. Learning the different angles to take, like high, low, and medium shots. One of my best photos I took was, one of the pictures I took of the basketball class here at LBCC. I took a picture of a wide shot of some of the players in a drill. Instead of being at level with them like a boring photo. I went on my knees, and took a low shot of them. The picture turned out great because it was different, and it was at an angle people don't normally see.

I also have learned a ton of what photos go into newspapers. The photo is the biggest reason why people want to read a story. You want to have an attractive photo to go along with your story. However, you don't want a photo that looks like is giving away false information from what you are advertising. For example if you're taking pictures for McDonalds, and you're trying to advertise selling this new burger. You want to take pictures of people smiling, and look joyful while eating the burger. Not photos of people looking, generic or sad. Or having a face that says, "This burger isn't very good." That can get you fired.

Weston Basl; A Chip On His Shoulder

Photo courtesy of Weston Basl It’s just a regular Monday afternoon, and basketball class at LBCC just ended. About eight other students stay in the gym after the class has ended. An hour later, and the gym is empty. Another hour past … still, no one in the gym. No one, except for Weston Basl, as he constantly stays practicing, while nobody is there. Weston Basl, aka “West,” is a 18-year-old freshman LBCC student who is from Culver, Oregon. He is currently still undecided on what he wants to major in. West decided to go to LBCC because he wanted to experience the college life, and he is trying to play for the LBCC men’s basketball team next year. “I’m just practicing every day trying to get better. I haven't talked to the head coach at all, but I have talked to the assistant coach, coach Zimmermann. I actually had a training session with him in the summer, it was just him and I in the gym. Unfortunately I missed the tryout days, and didn’t make the team. I am upset with

Say far in the book "It's what I do," by Lynsey Addario what I love about it is here way to adapt to different cultures, and people. In the book so far she has traveled to Argentina, and Cube. She adapts to the people there so well, it's almost like the people that live there think she's one of them, and mind you that these people are living in very poor places. They barley have any close, barley any food or clean water, and they are living in war zones. Her kindness does help in her favor in these situations though. She is a very trustworthy person to, she respects the soldiers, and if someone doesn't want to be in a photo she wont take photos of them. Most of the time the soldiers don't care if they have their photo took.
