From the resource speaker Mr. Jimmy Dominggo.I learn that the entire process of photography involves finding the object to be photographed,taking the photograph,processing the image and presenting the image.In taking the picture,it should be with action plus the interaction of the person in the subject.Click is the key word on how to take a picture.For its frame ,it may be in horizontal or vertical form with varied shapes inside the picture.We see the rectangle,semi circle, triangle square or straight line on it. Reflection is also an element of a picture,so water,mirror and glasses can also add quality picture.
I learn some tips on taking pictures.Such as : shoot from a variety of angles,Avoid the 5’2 syndrome,be a worm or a bird when taking a picture , experiment and explore.Decisive moment of the subject is essential in taking pictures and the key to it,is capture the object with swiftness to catch its action,or patience to wait the action of the object.I also learn that photography is a photo plus the textor caption.Gathering data and informations are needed in striking images in a portrait.The photojournalists ‘ objectives are to inform, to report,and to carry the scene to the readers.
From the lecture I learn that the subjects and themes of photojournalism involves happiness,relief,frustrations,surprise,simple joys, excitement,human capacity,fear and death.The categories,it may be in spot,in general,feature,sports portraits and documentary photographs.Spot news are those unscheduled events no advance planning.The general news are scheduled events such as parade, concert, press conference rallies ,anniversaries and school opening and closing.Features are the interesting slices of life.Portrait includes close up pictures to show visual character of the subject.Documentary photograaaphs are usually serious on socially relevant issues affecting the society.
Characters of a good photo.It should be accurate, not stating the obvious,main people are identified,no judgment,no assumption,no using terms like,is shown,ispictured, and looks on.Use present tense, no hurous statements for serious pictures,larger caption, if necessary,using of commas to set off direction and using of conversational language.
