Limber up!

Loosening up before dance class, freshman Ana Santibanez smiles with anticipation. Today they practiced their leaps for half the class and the other half was taken up with stretching techniques. “Dance class is so much fun,” says Santibanez,”and requires a lot of stretching, but in the end its all worth it!” Santibanez leaped her way to the other side of the gym and received a round-of-applause.

tip 4-6 of the top ten tips...ya!

tip number cuatro(4 for those who dont know spanish) is Move in close-fill the frame: this creates an impact on pictures. first you move in close and then adjust your lens to fill your picture with the subject.

tip number cinco(5) is take some vertical pictures: this gives the subject of the picture a more artistic look and the whole thing very interesting.

tip number seis(6) is lock on focus:this is to take sharp pictures  of off-centered subjects. first you look trough the shutter, press half way down on the shutter button, wait for subject that you want to come in focus, then take the picture.

1)gets down to their level-dont take a picture of the object higher then them you gata get down to where your face to face with them.

3)use flash outdoors-to make sure you have good lighting, no shadows, and to get a better look at your subject!!!

new things ive learned in photo j. :D

in my photojournalism class today i learned a couple things about it that i didnt know before, but i didnt know anything about it before either besides you take pictures in the class and that it was fun so...haha. i learned that in photo j. behind every picture there is a story. a picture is a universal language that no matter what language you speak you can still interpret what went on and that a picture can show history as proof that a subject or object really happened. this is what i learned in my class today and to never have a smoothie for lunch so ya! hope you liked my story!!!!

This image of 9/11 caught my eye because the second plane is just about to hit and it makes me think what if that plane wasnt there? what if none of this ever happened and how many lives would of been saved? i know its a wierd thought since it did happen and ten years ago, but thats what i think when i look at that picture. may everyone killed by 9/11 be in peace and those who have been affected by it...i give them my blessings and best of luck. :)
