Blog #3- My Favorite Cover

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. I think this magazine cover is appealing, because she has her gear on, which makes you want to look at it very carefully. 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 scooting her to the left (her left), so the Magazine name coud've been fully showed.

The reason why someone might take an HDR image is to get perfect exposure on their photos. 4. With one photo, we probably wouldn't see perfect exposure. It could be too bright or dark. With an HDR Image you can see a very balance exposure. After we merge all the pictures together, we can see all the varieties of exposure come together and form a perfect photo.

Landscapes Photography

1. If you want to get solid and nice pictures, you must have to have good weather. Plan ahead and make sure that you have good weather, so you can get nice/good lighting pictures. One thing you van do is check the forecast/location. 2. One app you could download to help when trying to pick the best angle is iDp app, because it helps you choose the best angle 3. The biggest problem with shooting with zoom is that the photo tends to be blurrier and can lead it to be out of focus. Another problem is that is might cut off something, which will create a merger problem. 4 .  A ND grad filter can capture both detail in the sky and landscape 5. An umbrella, a big bag that can close, and a towel so you can dry your equipment 6. You can capture different angles of the background and foreground 7.  The key is to allow the subject to influence the composition, rather than trying to force the subject to be the rule 8. With landscaping less is more, because if you have too much in one picture
