Five Websites

Lens Flare

• In this website I looked at several pictures they all had a flare in some part of the picture. Mostly every picture has a very bright background that makes the subject of the picture stand out. There is some pictures that are dark but still have some what of flare in it and still makes the subject of the picture stand out. 
• I learned that even if your background is dark you can still get a flare and a good picture of the subject you wanted to see and still be clear even if its dark. 
• I picked this picture because I like how the buildings has a flare from both sides and how everything is so bright with a lot of lights.
• I see the rule lines, framing, rule of thirds, balance, and background. 
• Paul (Dex) took this picture. 

B&W Landscapes 

• The pictures I saw in this website are very interesting they're all outside in some sort of storm of different types of weather. All of this images are black and white but they still show the main subject of the picture and manage to grab your attention. Each picture also is in a different landscape like a desert, rain forest, or mountains. 
• I learned that you can get really good pictures even if the weather is horrible or if its raining or snowing you can still mange to get a pretty good picture. 
• I picked this picture because it grabbed my attention on how the person can get a view of the mountains with a pattern of the fog.
• I see the rules framing, background, and viewpoints.
• Joe Azure took this picture. 

Image Stacking

• This website didn't really have a lot of pictures but this one was the one that caught my attention the most. While looking at this website i concentrated on the details of each picture. 
• I never knew that a picture can look like the water has lines threw it since when water flows done it goes by really fast.
• I picked this picture because of how the water looks like and how the water looks like it has stripes.
• This picture has the rules lines and framing.
• Doesn't say

Storms

• On this website their were pictures of storms or clouds that looked like a storm was about to happen. While looking at these pictures I concentrated on the one's i would have liked to take.
• I learned that you can get a picture of clouds touching hills.
• I picked this picture because I've never seen a picture like this with clouds touching the hills it looks really pretty.
• The rules I see are framing, background and balance.
• Axel Kuhlmann 

Storms

• The website i was one was all about storms and how they look during or before a store. When I was looking at these pictures i was looking for ones that look ironic or impossible.
• I learned that you can get a picture of a storm and clouds at the same time in the same picture.
• I picked this picture because I thought this could never happen be raining on one side and in the other its sunny and seeing it in picture looks pretty amazing.
• The rules i see are framing, background, and rule of thirds.

My Favorite

For W's biggest fashion issue of the year, the magazine celebrated the ways women today transform themselves by showcasing actress Kristen Stewart as readers had never seen her before.

"Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves," Stewart says playfully on the cover, tempting readers to pick up the issue and see for
