Photos
A8- On the beam
This photo is the most excellent, and well taken photo at the Lone Star Dispatch to date. Just kidding. It's not a bad photo, but it's not the best either. Theres a bit of motion blur on the photo so that doesn't look too great.
I don't see evidence of following the rules of photography.
The main subject is Kate Stubbs.
The photo is exposed to the right amount.
A1- Pumping up the crowd
In this photo, a cheerleader is the main subject. Other cheerleaders are in the background with her. The photo is good and doesn't really have many flaws. It's exposed well and follows rule of thirds and lines.
B1- Close Connection
In this photo a girl and her horse are bonding in this photo. It is a bit overexposed in my opinion, but is still a fine photo. The photo isn't really following many rules of photography except for maybe simplicity.
B4- Plan of action
In this photo, theres a group of students in a little group. That's really it. The photo is pretty bland and doesn't add anything to the story. Fabulous job.
B8- Starting young
In this photo, a boy holds a poster his parents made for him. I feel like this a common problem with newspaper photography. I realize that people are trying to capture the moments that matter and not art, but it would certainly help if the photos were less bland. Don't get me wrong the photo is exposed well and gets things right, but the photos are so painfully average.
My favorite photo was Saddling Up. I like the photo because horses just look so goofy up close. They're funny to look at. There's not an incredible amount of photo composition, but I just like the way horses look.
My least favorite photo was Plan of action. When you look at the photo, you can tell that almost 0 effort was put into it. The photographer probably just stood awkwardly in the back of the room and zoomed in all the way so they wouldn't have to get too close.
If I was a photographer for this paper, I would like to do the yo yo boy story. I feel like that would be a fun shoot to go on. Just a boy and his trusty yo yo.
I would say the photography is pretty weak. There is not a lot of photos that make me say "wow". Nothing really stands out and that's kind of sad.
