I liked the pictures that had several angles balancing the light coming into the shot of the picture.


2. Watch the winning portfolio critique (Dustin Snipes), and post the following:
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
How he gets creative with his frames and gets close to his shots on subject in them.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
All the creative ideas he had in the pictures and didn't have half of a person in a frame. had the subject in the dead center and some had very great lighting. Some were a bit dull when the pictures had the overview of the pictures.

3.
Watch the contest recap video
Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.

They liked the fact that the winner had diverse pictures over a certain topic. Had different types of effects he created in the pictures.


Part 2.

1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.

Part 5 Where the player with the helmet on looks as if hes been playing in the mud showing half of his face in the frame. Black and white frames are interesting to me and having a lot of detail in the picture is always a picture to look into.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.

In part 4 there was a picture where there was several people sitting in some desk in a room and there was a huge screen/frame of some sort with a mans face looking down as if hes watching them. They didn't like it but i thought it was creative with the angle it had going up leading the topic of the shot.

Your Story Part 2

Night Life In Austin?

Interviewing Gavriella Coleman a couple weeks before prom was interesting to listen to what she had to talk about with the questions I had made for the interview. Being finished with her work in the Spanish class of New Tech Academy, Asking Ms.Coleman different aspects of the nightlife of Austin Texas. Having a one on one conversation discussing what she believes in what her usual plan is when she’s out downtown.

I’m interviewing people based on their lifestyle and their opinion throughout the interview about the nightlife for Austin Texas. Everybody having her own opinions on things I wanted to know what a senior at Akins High School does in Austin Texas when they are not learning in high school.

“I love going to downtown when my close friends are with me, we'll have a fun time whatever we do!” Gavriella Coleman said.

If you’re into the night life and love being out, downtown Austin on a Friday night… It’s something fun being out with your friends and enjoying not having any worries down there.

“At night and on the weekends with my friends is really the coolest thing to ask for.” – Gavriella Coleman

Get together’s or parties its all the same thing because you’re going to end up eating somewhere downtown. Theirs all the food you can think of when your downtown.

“Home Slice Pizza!

Best friend Sabrina said she enjoys doing what the whole group decides on when we all go out to party or get together, we typically get together at someone’s house and go from there in one car so It wont be a hassle to find parking or meet up where to go to.
