Top 100 photos

1.  This photo's symmetry has a really cool effect, although the subject is less desirable.
2. It is amazing how powerful photography can really be. The German people at the time of this photo being taken were broken. So when a powerful man and party claim they have all the answers and power in the world, people will look at images like these and believe them.
3. I didn't realize that basically one man was photographing Hitler's rise and fall from power.
4. 

5. Heinrich Hofferman was born on September 12, 1885 in Germany. He went to Heidelberg University and died December 11, 1957.

1. This photo makes my jaw drop to the floor. This photograph looks like something out of science fiction.
2. The photographers waiting the zeppelin's arrival did not expect to horror that was about to ensue. The raw destruction of this scene must of been a jarring sight, but was luckily captured in a panic. The photographer, Sam Shere, actually was shooting from his hip when he captured this photo.
3. Led Zeppelin used this iconic image in his self-titled album in 1969.
4.

5. Sam Shere was born on April 15, 1905 in Minsk, Belarus. Shere didn't go to school, instead he began working at a newspaper for experience. He died  on June 8, 1982 in Orlando, Florida.

 

1. I chose this photo because of how horrific it looks and captures the fear these people are feeling very well.
2. Stanley Forman, the photographer, was expecting to shoot a normal fire escape. But then the escape broke and these two came tumbling down. Forman said he realized what he was about to shoot and looked away.
3. I learned about the book where these images are showed off.
5. Charlie Forman was born on July 10, 1945 in Winthrop, Massachusetts. He studied photography at  Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology in Boston.

1. This picture shows a side of Lincoln that not many people get to see. He's really young in this photo.
2. This photo really shows the transformation Lincoln went through in the Oval Office. Lincoln had to fight the bloodiest war America had ever faced and had to bind the nation together after that.
3. Brady's camera was used by plenty of portrait photographers at the time.
4. 

5. Brady was born either in 1822 or 1823 in New York, He owned a portrait studio and took photos of many famous individuals. He died on January 15, 1896.

1. This photo caught my eye because of the pure beauty of it and the weird cropping.
2. The Hubble Telescope was considered a failure for almost its entire development. However after many delays it was put into space and captured this glorious image.
3. I learned from the other pictures that the Hubble Telescope is absolutely amazing.

5. NASA was founded on July 29th, 1958

Deadlines in journalism

Deadlines in journalism 

http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-are-they-called-deadlines

1.  Early in the word's lifetime it meant a line that did not move.

2. It won't have a grade, which will lead to the corrosion of my education.

3. I don't have too many problems with deadlines because its really not that hard to put aside five minutes for homework.

4. No.

5.Ummm not really sure. Probably my parents because I don't really want to deal with my deadlines later then I have to.

6. Just sit down, take a deep breath, and do it.

1.  Keeping work with me would make me a lot more efficient. You'll never have an excuse like "I was busy".

2. Probably making a list everyday because I don't really want to sit down and do something like that.

3. Probably a morning person.

3A . I am less likely to do work at night compared to doing it in the day.

4.  I can reduce the time I do things like watch tv and stuff like that.

5. a. Get my face out of my phone.

    b. Sit down and actually do work.

    c. Get more sleep.

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-started/inside-the-classroom/take-control-of-homework

1.  Yeah.

2. I like studying in a quiet place like an office. It's usually day because it's easier for me to focus. I like to get to everything I need at the same time so I do not have to get up.

3. My biggest distraction is probably my phone. It has everything my phone does not have.

4. I could turn off my phone, but I almost always need it for my homework.

Killer Time-lapse

http://blog.ted.com/2014/10/07/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/

1. On this website, I learned about this guy named Joe Carpa. Carpa does time-lapse photography and is asked by various companies to shoot time-lapses for them. I learned about the process of making an edit and finding the right location for a shoot. Time-lapse photography is something that really interests me and I would love to get a powerful camera to shoot time-lapses one day.

2.  I learned about the importance of music choice while making an edit.

3.  Time-lapses are a business I could potentially tap into when I grow up. Any job relating to photography, video creation and editing, and other fields with similar objectives I'm pretty interested in.

Photographer Resolutions

http://petapixel.com/2014/12/31/10-photography-resolutions-new-year/

1. On this website, the author dived more into the personal side of photography. This website kind of makes me realize I can fall behind in my photography skills compared to others. Sometimes I blame my gear when a shoot is not particularly good that day. It's really easy to blame outside forces for your failures. I should be more organized, use more of the gear potentially useful to me, and etc.

2. I learned about how I have a long way to go if I want to even try to pursue a photography/video career.

3. This site relates to photography by connecting with the photographer rather than the plain image.

Style

http://petapixel.com/2014/08/25/approaching-problem-style/

1. On this website, the author discusses style and what it takes to obtain it. This website is more focused on a professional level, but still has some tips on it for beginners. The website basically says that it takes time to develop style. This is true, but is one of the only things I agree with on this website.

2.  I learned that I can't go on lists like these to develop my style. The only way to develop a style is to take photos.

3. While taking photos in class, I should stick to my strengths as a photographer. This is how I will develop my style.

Using a projector

http://petapixel.com/2015/01/01/projector-brought-forest-turns-nature-glowing-wonderland/

1. On this page, it showed a project a photographer and an animator worked on. They brought a projector, a DSLR, and a computer out to the wilderness. These guys had some really creative shots in their video and I would love to be involved in a project like this in the future.

2. I learned about using a projector while shooting. I had actually never seen this done before and it looked really cool.

3. The producers of this video went out to the wild for six weeks and took video of illuminated wildlife. The end result really brings a lively and neon feeling to the forrest and that was captured really well in the video.  

4. Both of these guys make 3D art and projections and their other works are pretty cool.  

Drone Photography

http://petapixel.com/2016/11/15/dji-drops-jaws-seriously-powerful-phantom-4-pro-inspire-2-drones/

1. On this page, DJI, a drone company is releasing two new drones which are pretty well made and have amazing specs. Drones have interested me for a while, but I probably won't be able to own a quality one for a while. These new drones are remarkably expensive and would be a tragedy to somehow destroy.

2. I learned that drones are becoming incredible and easy to use, but are very expensive. I have faith in my future, so maybe I'll be able to get a drone someday.

3. I saw some drone video and it looks incredible. The image quality for these drones right now are better than the DSLR I have right now.
