five websites

6 types of photos every photographer should know how to make
I liked this photo because I like how the girl and the tree combine to make a mother nature figure. the girl looks beautiful and powerful at the same time.
rules of photography that this photo uses is simplicity because the background is simple.


projector brought into the forest turns nature into a glowing wonderland

I really like how they combined nature and wildlife with modern technology to create beautiful photographs that look surreal and magical.


The disorienting beauty of spiral staircases in old abandoned buildings
I like how the photographer took something simple and ordinary and made a photo that draws your eye in. It reminds me of a seashell how it spins in to the center. I really like the simplicity of his photos and the angles of the stairs that he got the photo at. these photos really caught my eye  and are really amazing.


the oldest living things in the world
I like how this photo is a landscape photo but its really trying to capture the living moss on the rock that is really old. I like how the sky and ocean is dominating the photo but the rocks are the most important things. I also like their use of color and how the whole photo is blue and white so the gray and green rock really stands out.

magazine cover peer review

http://avysphotojournalism.blogspot.com/2014/12/magazine-cover.html
1. simplistic
2. I really like the portrait you took and the lighting and how that a makes the mood of the photo simple and fits your title.
3. The only thing you could improve is making your title pop out a little more by changing the color or putting the title on a simpler background.
4. what stood out to me was your second cover, the black and white one. I like the peaceful and simple feel of it.
5. Yes there is a bar code
6. The bar code definitely makes the cover more magazine like.
7. It looks like a portrait.

prompt shoot peer review

http://marissasphotojournnalism.blogspot.com
my favorite photo for this prompt is the 'connections' one. I like how you cropped the photo making it look really cool. my least favorite image is probably the pose one because it doesn't follow any of the rules and is hard to focus on the subject. I really like the way the donuts are in line and are going off the page. The framing on this photo is really well done. I really also like how the 8 is so simple. The 8 and the yummy followed the prompt really well, but the pose photo could have been better.

welcome back


I liked this photo because it showed the distraction of the beautiful yosemite national park and makes the photo very powerful.


this photo of a ski jumper at the olympics looks very futuristic and makes the person seem unreal.


this picture of the racehorse makes the horse look magic and mystical as the stem rises of the blu back.
