Merger Photo

1. The photos could cut off shadows and cut off people or arms. the photo could also cut catch something in one photo but not catch the other half in the other photo.

2. It would be good to take a photo like this in a area where there is a background that is flat and somewhere were there won't be so many people.

3. I was thinking about doing maybe like a progression photo like i jump higher and higher in each photo.

4. Wearing a certain type of clothing would not help me with my photograph.

my opinion piece

On January 18, 2015 the New England Patriots played the Indinolappolas colts in the deciding factor in who would Advance into the Super Bowl. The Patriots ended up winning it 45 to 7, but during the start of the second half the referees replaced the 12 game balls, the balls happened to be under inflated and not legal to play with. The New England patriots were under investigation for cheating and were accused of having the game balls deflated. The patriots were punished with tom Brady being suspended 4 games and the team fined 1Million.

In my opinion I believe that the Patriots should have been punished with more penalties because they cheated on a game on witch the winner advanced to the super bowl. At the half the colts were only losing by 10 points, and plenty of time to catch up.

Sensory Overload


  1. I do  agree with the statement that our environments are becoming more and more objects and devices, because that as what this world and and people in this world want.
  2. Looking through the pictures some of these places made me feel claustrophobic and freaked out of how much stuff was in these rooms. so i probably wouldn't want to take pictures in any of these places.
  3. I feel like a child would love to be in one of these stores because of how bright and colorful everything is.
  4. My favorite photo is the photo of the woman working at the desk surrounded by flowers

Lone Star dispatch photography

A1- Squad Goals
I think this photo is really good because it displays the photo of the cheerleaders very well. It focuses on one cheerleader with multiple cheerleaders around her and the football field and football players behind them. the lighting is very well especially sense the photo is taken at night. the rules of photographer used in this photos is the main ideas and rule of thirds.

B1-Jumping Hurdles
This picture is a good action shot of a girl on a horse jumping over the fence. its a good shot because it displays the whole moment very well. the lighting in the shot is not the best because the horse and the girl are facing against the sun. The rule of photography is action shot. The photo is exposed properly.

B7-Practice makes perfect
the picture is of a kid Mathew lane showing off his yoyo skills and the photo is a really cool action shot in black in white the picture looks a lot better in black in white because it takes a basic photo and makes it a lot more interesting. rule of Photography is Black and White photo. The main subject is the senior Mathew Lane.

B8- A Balancing Act
The picture is a nice picture of three gymnasts all balancing on a balance beam and the photo is well balanced with the three girls because they all progressively get taller from left to right. The rule of Photography is Balance and rule of thirds  and lines of symmetry. The photo is well exposed.

My favorite photos is the picture of Mathew lane the kid with the yo yo. I like this photo because I like how the photo  is in black and white and i like the action shot of him and the yoyo.

My left favorite photo is labels Critique. Im not a huge fan of this photo because it is a little boring and its meant to display the kids science fair project but the kid and the man are covering it up with there bodies.
