Caption Writing

Mellow with the Cello. Before playing her cello, sophmore Annie Lui takes a quick glance at her sheet music . The Orchestra played a rendition of Beethoven’s Fur Elise at their competition last May. They received first place and the best score from the judges overall. “ Orchestra rocks! We work together and create beautiful music, and that's why I love it!” Lui said. Photo by Julianna Lewis.

Last 4 Tips !!!

Finally! The last four tips!

7.) MOVE IT FROM THE MIDDLE

(Basically the Rule Of Thirds) move the subject off the center of the photo. This creates variety in the pictures and is not as monotonous as a simple centered picture.

8.) KNOW YOUR FLASHES RANGE!
You should know this because pictures beyond the maximum flash range are too dark. My point and shoot camera has a flash range of about 10 feet. (Most point and shoots flash range are around 10 feet.)

9.) WATCH THE LIGHT
Try to avoid overhead sunlight because this creates shadows on the subject. Use cloudy days to create great lit pictures. The best time to shoot these pictures is in the morning and at dusk.

 

10.) BE A PICTURE DIRECTOR

Add props and arrange the subjects and find different viewpoints. Tall people should be in the middle of a line and short people towards the ends.

BW plus One

Today in photojournalism, we learned how to take a colored picture and turn all of it into black and white except for one key focal point. This creates not only a cool effect, but also an amazing picture with great emphasis and wow-factor.
