*Sugar Hill*

A. Some of the skills Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slide show, was that she used real moments with vivid emotions, also she added music, and speakers in the background that relate to the photos.
B. The effect of the multimedia added power or meaning to the slide show, which caused the slides show to be more effective to the audience, because the vocalist sang through out the whole slide show.

3. The most interesting multimedia that i feel interesting would be their troubled history, because it talks about how Sugar Hill first started, and how troubled they still are. However, i feel that the most shocking media was the police videos because of how they disrespect & abuse eachother.

Photoshop Online Edit!!

*Photojournalism Assignment*

1.Some of the challenges I had while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion was only that I had to be prepared for anything and get ready for the photo as fast as possible. I dealt with them by just being ready and thinking ahead, of what might happen so that i will be in the correct position.

2.The technical aspects of photography that i found thinking about the most were focus, composition, exposure, and some of the rules. I made sure I did these correctly by reminding myself what they were right before the picture was taken or a few min. before.

3. I tried to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques by reminding myself what they were. For example lines, i took a photo of someone walking up the stairs because it showed repetitive lines to draw viewers' attention to the center of interest.

Focal length of lens -EF 300mm
Shutter Speed -shot at 1/320
The effect of this shutter speed is that its not to fast but its not so slow its just right for the action.

Aperture-shot at f/13.0

The effect (Depth of field) of shooting at f/2.8L (IS USM), aperture was the range of distance around the focal plane. It does not change from sharp to unsharp, but instead occurs as a gradual transition. Sometimes, everything immediately in front of or in back of the focusing distance begins to lose sharpness.

Position - I think the photographer was standing near the shore to get a closer look & a better photo. However, the photographer mentions that he was "standing on a sand bar type island in the lake as the men jumped from a hovering helicopter."

*Simplicity*

This image shows simplicity because nothing is ditstracting the plane, and the sky is one solid color which lets the plane stand out alot more.

Avoiding Mergers!!!

This shows the technique of avoiding mergers, because it makes it seem like the flag is growing out of the guy's head. Which could also steal attention from our center of interest. However, the background is very simple which makes it a good shot.

*Lines*

This is image could show the technique of using lines because one of the most common and graceful lines used in composition is called the S curve, and this picture shows it with the curve of the bridge creating a better well-placed center of interest to the image.
