Photo: https://petapixel.com/2014/12/31/10-photography-resolutions-new-year/ 1. In this website, I read about 10 major resolutions you should accomplish in photography. 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. B) The rules of photography I see are Rule of Thirds, because the girl is positioned more to the right then the left. C) It doesn't say who took the photo.

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. Most of the Magazine Covers sticky with an easy approach, which is when they are looking at the camera and smiling.

1. My favorite portrait would be Flight Risk 2.  "For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."   3. In this portrait what is communicated is her competitive side and her seriousness about what she does (she takes it seriously).  She shows her competitive side by having a steady face and having her gear on. Her competitive side is shown through her facial  expressions. I think the lighting is really good, it isn't too dark or too bright.

The only thing I would be concern about would be how her helmet covers part of the Magazine Name (The New York Times). They could've avoided that merger by scootin...

I think that what caught my eye was that I recognized most of the people in the picture, so it made me curious and I clicked on it. 2. During the 2014 Oscars, the host, Ellen Degeneres walked into the crowd and gathered many famous people. Then Bradley Cooper took out his phone and captured the image. 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. At first, Ellen Degeneres was just trying to take a selfie with Meryl Streep, but her arms weren't long enough, so Bradley Cooper offered help. 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...
