JN 134 Forum 2

Topic 1:

My photographer of the week:  Is Bob Martin a sports photographer who has photographed many huge sporting events the one he is known for is the Olympics both summer and winter.  He has many cover photos for the well known Sports Illustrated.  Taking all these great photos has allowed him to climb up in winning 57 international awards.
What stands out to me about Bob's photos is the great angles he gets and how he is able to really capture the moment or the perfect movement of each of the athletes.
Bob Martin's "Claim to Fame." because he has shot the Summer and Winter Olympics over and over again.

My two suggestions that I think are the most doable are, "Watch the calendar" to get the most recent events so I can prepare myself ahead of time and so everything is ready for that date.  Also "Just taking time to stop."  if I just time to stop and observe the area I will be able to fine that great photo by also taking different approaches to the area.

Topic 2:

This book is very impressive to me because the way she is able to capture the story through the gruesome events that are happening and how she is isolating herself trying not to get involved.  I really like her work because she captures the moment of the story that tells everything that is happening.  She uses a lot of close up photos and always using people in her photos which is the biggest thing that needs to be done with capturing the moment.

Topic 1: The best photo that I have taken would have been my Portraits of the baseball Co-Captains Spencer DesBiens and Caleb Smith. These Photos stood out because I was able to get really good lighting and with the shades being able clear faces. It reflects that I can be really good with a camera when I am in the field I love to be in. My photos skills have improved a lot considering that I have been able to help other students understand how their cameras work. Spencer DesBiens Caleb Smith Topic 2: Looking back on this term I have improved a lot with my skills as a photographer and a person dealing with the class I will be able to pass, but I wasn't able to get and A through the restrictions of life and and not being able to finish some of the assignments.  Also I wasn't able to contribute to the paper at all this term so I have made that a priority for next year I will contribute no matter what with the sports section.

JN 217 Week 10 Blog Forum

My three goals for this term in JN 217 Feature writing Learning how to create a story with good sources through research and interviews. Whether it's human interaction or online research with reviews. Writing is one thing, but editing is another and I was able to do well with the basketball stories with help so I want to learn how to edit better when I go to work with the paper in the fall.  Interviewing I was able to do well there is always room for improvement though which is something I need.  Personally I didn't do as well for myself, but I am the person to always help others out if they are struggling.  So in learning all of these tips I was able to do well enough.  When i was writing my basketball stories last term that is when I got better learning how to edit though made my previous stories and future stories better.  I have always been good at talking to people interviewing I just got better at not being nervous for speaking to them.  I still need to work on my

Topic 1: Self Portrait Spencer Desbiens/ Caleb Smith Claim to fame: They are the team Co-Captains Outdoors on a sunny day Baseball bat, players, gloves Contact through coach, email, or text Self Critique My best photo would have to be the close up of the basketball player getting ready to take a jump shot even though the lighting in the gym sucks. My worst photo would have to be my week one photos because the lighting in the gym sucks and I didn't have the right lens with my camera for sports. The skill that I need to improve on is trying to expand the type of subjects I take instead of just one type like basketball.  Improving the quality of my photos will have to adjusting the focus to lineup the dot with the subject.
