Front Pages of the World

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why? 
My favorite newspaper front page is from Europe because I like how they take up almost the whole space with just pictures and a little bit of descriptions on the side. They catch your attention with the pictures they make really big on the front page.

2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? 
My favorite headline is Bresciaoggi. Im interested in this because i don't  know what it means but the writing of the word is unique and i wonder what the meaning of this is.
3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 
It has three stories on the front page. 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 the main picture of the newspaper about the same size with the same amount of text under it. Also they have two pictures at the very top talking about sports or athletes. They also have the same format of where they will put there pictures and where the text is located.

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.
Some things that vary are some have a lot more text in the front of the page and just with one little picture. Also some have four big pictures in the front with captions underneath them hardly any writing under them. Also some are read horizontal and others are read vertical depending on how the pictures and texts are located.

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens during a soccer game because i will be able to zoom in on the players but i won't need to zoom in that much because I'm close to the players and i won't need to zoom in so much so it can still look realistic.

I would use a prime lens to take pictures of a live concert at night where I'm sitting in the front seat because i wouldn't need to zoom and it won't matter if its dark because i have a large aperture.

I would use a wide-angle lens to take a picture of a landscape or a large piece of land to be able to take a picture of the whole scenery without have to cut anything out it would be able to be long.

Depth of Field (shallow and wide)- range or distance between the nearest and the furthest object. You could use Depth of Field when you want to really focus on an object you zoom in and take a close picture of the object causing its surrounding to blur and just focus on that.

Light (angle and intensity)- measures of light are commonly known as intensity. You can use light when ever there is a lot of light in an area your trying to take a picture of.

Shadows Diffusion- is an area where direct light from a light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object. This can be used in a place where its dark away from all light to take a picture.

Exposure- is the amount of light allowed to fall on each area. This can be used when you take a picture outside to determine how much light you will allow on a certain place.

Aperture (f-stop)- is a hole or an opening through which light travels. You can control how much light travels when your taking a picture either inside or outside.

Shutter speed- the amount of time that the shutter is open. This can be used during a picture to determine weather its blurry or clear.

ISO- measures the sensitivity of the image sensor.
