The Story.

This is a very good story-telling visual, it portrays the one girl more clearly than all the others who are laughing and chattering, whist she sits and does her work quitely. I think it tells the story of an outcast, who is quite happy to be so. It also blurs all others out, giving a visual message that they arent as important as the girl in the middle, who is in least physical action.

Overall, great picture in that it shows peak of action, it fills the frame, and it has awesome candidness, although you can tell it was staged.

Inspiration blog.

This is the picture that inspires me most, because when you acheive that ability to give somebody goosebumps with a picture, that is a feat, that inspires me to want to do the same. This picture is so haunting, and it makes me feel as if I'm not really awake when I look at it. It feels like a dream, enhanced by the effect of the people fading away.

Pinhole blog

I love this picture simply because it doesn't look like a photo. Its seems as though, upon first glace, the picture is an oil painting. Its aura, the feel of it is beautiful. The sepia tone gives a nostalgic feel that is comforting and breathtaking.

There were others that I did not like, but I was unfortunatly unable to upload them due to technical errors.

The Three Rules of Photojournalism.

This picture correctly follows the three rules of a good photo. Firstly, in this shot, it exhibits what we call 'peak of action'. It means that the photographer snapped it at the height of her emotion, or at the best point of her actions. Secondly, it shows candidness. Which is an important rule to follow, it shows her unknowing that the camera is there, and that also makes this picture a good one. Lastly, photographer made sure they filled the frame. This means that we are looking at the subject and only, the subject. Nothing else that would bring your attention elsewhere. No dead space or other dominant objects in the background. Overall, this a wonderful picture and the photographer really knows their stuff.

This picture, is another matter entirely. The photorapher managed to follow the rule of candidness, which means that the subject is unaware of the camera, and therefore you see the peak of what I call natural action. He doesnt seem to realize there is a camera taking his picture. So this makes it an okay shot. What takes away from that is the fact that the angle is all wrong. There is too much dead space over this head, and that leads your eyes away from what you are supposed to be looking at. That nearly ruins the picture and it needs work.
