2. Watch the winning portfolio critique (Dustin Snipes), and post the following:
a. good color and composition, good subject choices
b.- I agreed with the judges in that they were full of color and interesting, but some of them were still poorly taken... out of focus, bad lighting..etc.
3. Watch the contest recap video at the very bottom.
a. Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.- They looked at all the portfolios again and for the ones that they had decided were "awful" and "terrible" they eliminated on the spot until there were two left. They then chose between the two based on who had more of the good photos.
Individual Images
1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
I agree with the fact that there was nothing special about the first picture. I can see yes it may look cool, but there's nothing important or special about it. It's just a guy on a sled.
2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
I disagree with them saying the the escalator photo is good. If you look at it there isn't much visual appeal and it is very blurry and could have bee better if maybe it was shown in color and focused better.

Sensory Overload Warm Up
1. What do you think about this statement? I think that is is very wise and can begin conversation
Do you agree or disagree? I disagree because the physical space does affect us about as much as the things we surround ourselves with.
As an aspiring photographer how does this make you feel about your photography? It makes me think that you should be taking pictures of things that really matter and change us rather than boring and normal tings,
2. When you looked through the images, did you want to visit this place and take your camera?
I would rather just visit it without my camera because that would cause stress to take a good picture when i could just save it in my mind and be stress free.
3. What do you think it would be like to be the child of someone who worked at this place?
I think it would e very different. The people who work there probably spend most of the day in the shops so there wouldn't be much time to talk to them.
4. Describe your favorite photo to me.
My favorite photo was of the shop that sold rubber ball toys. as a kid any time i see those they are so fun to play with so that store looks the most fun. I also liked how many different colors and objects there were and that made it ore interesting.

How- by going through an expansive interview process
Who was quoted in the story- Brian Crow
What quote was the strongest in your opinion and where did that quote appear in the story- "The deep talent pool of experienced administrators... has enabled this optimal path.- in the middle of the story.
Did the lead sentence make you want to keep reading- Kind of because i though it might give me info about new principal.
The article is about the process of the science fair. It tells that the contestants make a project for their classes. If they want to then they are judged in the Bowie Science Fair. Some moved on to regionals to compete.

The varsity cheerleaders went to Florida in February to go to nationals. One of their members got hurt, so the had to perform without her. They placed 7th in the nation, but didn't care about winning because it was a great way to bond and grow as a team.
Who- Varsity Cheerleaders.
Varsity Cheerleaders Photo
I think this photo was well done. It has a simple background which makes the subjects stand out. There is balance in the picture and the subject are the cheerleaders. There is a medium depth of field because the players can be seen in the back.
Science Fair Photo Two
This is a solid photo because it shows the whole board with lots of detail. The lighting helps the picture be more clear. There is rule of thirds, and the subject is the project. It is exposed well and has a deep depth of field.
Peaceful ProtestersThis photo is good because it leads me to read the article. It is well lit and balanced. It also has rule of thirds and leading lines. The main subject is the man and his sign. Exposure is good, and not a deep depth of field.
Student Gymnast Photo One
The photo is good and filled with action. It is kind of bright so it could be a little darker. It has leading lines and the girl is the main subject. There is a deep depth of field.
Principal Search
This is a good picture because it has a lot of details. The lighting is good and everything is very sharp in the picture. The rule is balance and the woman is the subject. good exposure and shallow depth of field.
Entire Paper
My favorite picture is the one of the gymnast because it looks really cool and has lots of action. It has a good depth of field.
My least favorite ones are the pictures of students in Bulldog Speak out and the first science fair photo. They are boring and could be improved by having a more exciting subject.
I would have liked to shoot the gymnastics because it has a lot of action and it is interesting. Gymnastics is the most exciting topic in this magazine.
I would rate this issue three out of five stars. It has good photos and the stories are well written. Its just that the stories themselves are kind of not interesting topics.
What- National Competition.Where- Florida.When- February 10.Why- For competition.How- Cheerleading routine/competitive cheerleading.Quoted- Tanya Zint.Strongest quote/where- "One of our main flyers got injured...we had to redo the redo the routine." It was in the middle.Lead Sentence- Yes, it makes me want to read more.
