Fronts Pages of the World

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page?

          I would say the Albuquerque Journal because the front picture got my attention right away with the pink bubbly background.

     2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it?
       
          My favorite headline was the "Brothers likely planned other attacks" because it was very interesting and it got my attention right away.

     3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite?

         Four.

     4. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of  photos, size of story text, etc.

         They all have their main subject and then little headlines going through the rest of the open space.

     5. What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc.

         This newspaper for example, had a huge photo containing to the main title of it. They probably did that to get everyone's attention and buy that specific newspaper.

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

 LENSES:


I would use a telephoto lens to take photos from a far reach, such as in a football game.

I would use a prime lens to take photos in the gym during an event because the lighting there stinks, so this would clear up the photos a bit.

I would use a wide-angle lens to take photos when the Akin's band performs, that way I can get most of the members in the photo.
