1. Something I see that looks wrong that it could be more in focus and the girl's position in every picture. Another problem is the shadows, because they are clearly visible 2. I think a great place to take this picture, here at Bowie, would be in front of the Tennis courts. I think it would be a cool background to have in the photo 3. A creative thing that I could do in mine is strike different poses or do one certain move and change the perspective/ position in which its in 4. No, I don't think that there is anything I could wear that could help this photo

1. The manipulations you will need to make to the camera to create a HDR image is change the shutter speed and aperture every time. Between every time you shoot a picture, you have to manually adjust the settings. 2. The equipment you use to shoot these images is a camera and a tripod. 3. 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.

1. Video #1: a. Travis Haughton b. The general focus was on sports c. Three problems they noticed was that it didn't tell a story, the frame was too tight, and the quality wasn't good d. The judges liked the lighting and the different levels of sports they had e. My overall impression of the photographer was that he has good quality pictures, but most of them don't tell a story or he is too close to the subject.

The judges liked the framing of most of them and the e. My overall impression of the photographer is that he was out of ideas and just captured random shots.

1. I plan to go shoot this weekend and make sure to have plenty of footage. Then if I need more footage, I can get more the next weekend. 2. I will shoot at either the mall or Southpark Meadows 3. I will be documenting a day of shopping or like a day at the mall. I will show what a day of shopping looks like or what I do at the mall. 4. I will use iMovie to piece it all together and then a camera to get the footage and pictures. 5. I plan to use the video portion at the middle and end. I plan to use the narration at the beginning while the pictures are displayed (at the same time).

Story: School shootings are taking over the United States Occurring about once a week, in America there has been 300 school shootings since 2013. All these incidents have led to one or more deaths. School shootings have affected hundreds of thousands of people, all over the country. Many parents think that their kids are very safe at school. Lately, the news has been proving otherwise.   In my opinion, parents shouldn't have to worry even the slightest about having to lose a child due to a shooting.
