Sports/Action

Alyssa Schukar 2006 student portfolio:
photographer- Alyssa Schukar
focus- sports
3 problems- pictures from distance, not enough strong singles, all photos the same
Likes: nice background, nice graphic
The portfolio was okay. The photos had good quality and lighting. I didn't like how they were all almost repeated.

Photographer- Nick Adams
focus- sports
3 problems- Too many children and pictures don't make sense.
The judges liked the lighting of the pictures and some of the angles the pictures were taken in.
This portfolio was not that good. I didn't like most of the pictures. They were not very good topics at all.

photographer name: Sam Adams
general focus of portfolio: bikes
list three problems that the judges note with the portfolio: to many soloets, photoshop to much, people should be doing something.
list two things the judges like: background shadows
what is your overall impression? what did you like or not like? It was ok. I did not like how on some photos it didnt tell me or the judges anything about the the picture.


photographer- jordan murph
general focus- sports/ stories
3 problems- pose action, no eye contact, to many photos
list two things the judges like: good composition, good light
Impression: It started really good the first two stories. I dislike how it started really impressing but then he lost it, the pictures werent as interesting.


Dustin Snipes:
The judges thought Dustin was creative and had good composition.
His strengths are that the pictures contained almost all the rules. I don't see weaknesses.

3. They went through all the photos that the children took and criticized then saying what they had to much of or to little of and what they could have done better. That's how they decided the winner.

 

 

part 2

 

1. The photos i agreed with the judges was the wave photo. There could have been more action in it that could have made it better.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.

 I really liked the boxer photo i didnt think anythin was wrong with it they did.

Destruction in Japan blog

This picture makes me want to cry, because the emotions that are in the picture. The mother and daughter are suffering from the destruction in Japan. The composition is good and i like how you can see through the window.

This picture shows clearly how the water was moving in to the city. This picture looks terrifying to me. I like the lighting and the way the picture was taken.

This picture is so emotional! It shows a picture of a family that might not even be alive. The little kids that still had a long life ahead of them. I think the lighting could've been a little better and i like how the color blend in the picture.

Touching People blog

1. I think this project is pretty cool. It gives people a chance to be involve in photography and also interact with each other.
2. I would probably be do it, because i love posing for pictures.
3. I think it would be fun to shoot one at the beach with a bunch of teeneagers.
4. I don't really think the photographer used a lot of the rules of photography. He definately didn't use the rule of thirds, but he did use some patterns.

happy, akins, building blog

Happy

I chose this picture, because I like the angle that shows she was jumpy and happy!

Akins
I took this picture, because it shows school spirit.

Building

This picture is a good example, because it is the tallest building at akins.

Cool Advertising Idea

I really like this picture, because i like how all the colors blend in, but you can still see that the main focus is on the phone.

This makes me want to get an AT&T because it shows how all their phones will work worldwide, anywhere you go.
