A few included self-doubt, getting organized, and not caring if you get negative comments. Throughout the whole website, the writer tries to make the reader feel comfortable about sharing there photographs. I learned that it is important to get along with other photographers, even if your a beginner. It is also smart that if you're a beginner to reach out to the pros and start a dialogue. A) I picked this photo, because the sparks all around the picture caught my attention. I also really liked how she seems genuinely happy.

Image Based Magazine Covers: The main attributes of this type of magazine cover is the amount of people that are in a Image Based Cover, which is one or a few people.

After taking this picture, Degeneres shared it to the public through Twitter and it got over 3 million retweets, more than any other picture in history. 3.

Then Ellen said they wanted it to be a selfie, so he count help. Them she told him to get in the picture and they gather more people. Ellen could't reach to fit everyone in the frame, so Bradley offered to take it. 4.   This image became so popular, because I think peop
