Killer timelapse

http://blog.ted.com/2014/10/07/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/

I watched a time-lapse video of Rio and its from all throughout the day.It also is  guy who created it and  i think its a really cool video.

In the video i saw rio all around the city and i also saw different types of things and what rio is like.

Joe capra made this video.

It talks about him,and why he did it,why he makes them,when he started,and how many  he has done.

I learned that anybody can do this time-lapse video, i also learned that you can do it and who you can do it and what you can do to be able to do it.

Spiral staircases

http://petapixel.com/2014/12/19/disorienting-beauty-spiral-staircases-old-abandoned-buildings/

I looked at all the different types of stairs and all different designs.I also saw that their are mostly all abandoned ones and that they are all mostly in germany.

This is my favorite photo from the website because i thought it was really pretty.I also thought it was different and it looked vintage.
I see lines and repetition.
Photo was taken by Christian Richter,

I saw all different sorts of staircases and how they are all different.I also liked how Christian richter went all around and found unique staicrcases.
I learned about Christian richter and why and how he started taking pictures of these staircases.
It relates to us because I think its a cool idea and great photos to take of and i think that its  good topic and idea to do it on.

Magazine cover peer review

Teen Couture-Amaya Marquez

I really liked the background,and i also liked the topics in it and how its all about style.

I think something she could improve on is probably being a little more creative and something that could pop out from the magazine.

I picked this cover because i liked the magazine cover and i thought it was very creative and something I would buy.

Yes there is a barcode.

I think having a barcode made it look more like a magazine cover.

Yes I can tell that it is a self portrait.


Prompt shoot peer review

 Natalie's blog- http://nataliephotojournalismblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/prompt-shoot.html?showComment=1421247823744#c2296341612211656140

The photo I liked the best was the eight because i thought it was a creative idea and had good simplicity in it.

My least favorite image was probably pose because I thought it wasn't that great of a photo and also i thought it could of been taken better.


I think her photos are really creative and I think she did a great job taking them. I also think she did a great job with the rules of photography and had good angles.

One thing they could improve on is probably taking better pictures with people and trying to get the main topic in.

I think she did the best on portraying in connected,you could easily tell the branches were connected and you could see that it was portrayed.

I think the least portraying was eight because for a minute you had to look and think on how it was eight,you had to look closely and then you could tell the flowers were eight,so i thought it was the least portrayed.

This was one of my favorite photos  because new years is one of my favorite days during the year and i  think this one of the special moments in life.I also like this picture because this photo represents happiness in life and living life great.

This was one of my favorite photos because ebola was a really big deal in 2014,and it impacted a lot of lives.It also was very scary to think about and something that know wanted to get.It killed a lot of people and will never be forgotten.

I think a lot of people like this dog and its just a great songs to listen to.

2. What was the best movie of 2014?
Hunger Games-Catching Fire 
i really loves this movie,it was a great plot and i loved the action in it.I also loved this one better than the first one and it was always in a good suspicion.I think a lot people said this was their favorite,and every movie in the sequel comes out its gong to be a hit.I think parts of the movie where they wanted to you to see the other one made it really well.
3. What was the most important news story of the year?
ALS ice bucket challenge- it was also a huge hit in 2014,it was spreading all around the world and everyone was doing it.i think it was also for a good cause,and forth challenge you could also donate money t help use it.I thought it was something good to for other people in this world I hope it changed a difference in peoples lives.
4. Who was the most important person of 2014?
Barack obama- I think he is the most important person,because he makes all the rules for the country and he's trying to do something right for all of us.I also think he's important because he made decisions and helped all the problems out with our country to be the best. i think should be the most important for 2014 because he deserves it.
5. What was the biggest sports OR entertainment story OR sports/entertainment person of 2014 (you should google what is appropriate for your choice), I leave this one to you to find a photo for.
Lebron James- I think he is the best payer in the NBA and he's been the MVP for the past years and he's been the spotlight for a while.I also think he's also the best because he's lead his team championships and a lot of wins for  his team and city. i think he is the best and will continue his legacy for a long time.

The best thing that happened over the break is that my sister came down from Dallas and also i went down to sequin to see my grandparents.My resolutions for 2015 is to make better grades and do everything tat i want to do and try to make out happen.I also want to try to have happiness all throughout the year and try to be positive.I am looking forward to all the good movies coming out this year and also for the summer.
