Front Pages of the World



  • My favorite newspaper front page is the Houston Chronicle because it looks more interesting then most.  
  • My favorite article from my news paper is " Deadly blast rocks small texas town" because it brings the most attention. 
  • My favorite has 7 articles in the front page. 
  • Most newspapers have a lot in common such as the main store, side stories, large fonts for titles also bolded, text is small, most articles have a photo and the name of the newspaper printer is on top.
  • Stuff that can be different in newspapers are some fonts maybe bigger, the way it is arranged, the stories are different, some newspapers maybe in back and white others in color.  
  • Lenses and photography Vocabulary


    Part 1


    1.
    I would use a telephoto lens to ... Take photos that i want zoomed in but also to make the subject more 2D and less realistic.

    2. I would use a prime lens to ... Take photos in lower light and to get more detail of the subject in the photo.

    3.
    I would use a wide-angle lens to ... Take photos of open fields or large areas so i can fit more in the photo.
