The importance of composition, cropping, and storage in photography

 Photo elements such as composition, cropping, and storage play a big role in ensuring that your photo will be up to its highest standard. Cropping is the act of removing certain elements from your photo that may distract from the main focus. Composition is then how the photos are arranged. Storage is the amount of memory your camera has hold to hold more pictures. Having these techniques and topics in mind have helped to change my view on how I take photos now and how I view photographs.

CCR Prep

 The creative critical reflection (CCR) is a conclusion of what was learned and discussed over the time frame of this 2022-23 school year of my AICE Media Studies class. I am planning to have a 1on1 podcast conversation with myself. Although podcasts are usually done with at least two people, I feel as though I can really convey all my messages and thoughts when it's just me talking. The CCR will also show the viewer(s) its representation within different social groups, audience engagement/distribution, development of my production skills, and also my integration of  technologies throughout the project.

Again with the captions, use the trigger words what, how, why, and when since you are trying to persuade someone (the reader) to pick up your product.

Captions: How and Why?

Captions are the little (maybe even large) pieces of text/copy that provide the reader with context for a picture while also answering the questions: 'who, what, when, and where'. A good caption can enhance or destroy a good image There are two types of captions, basic and extended. It just depends on which one you pick to complete the picture. 

As the weather is heating up, the buzz for big plunges is heating up as well; these folks are finding new ways to beat the heat or just enjoy a nice summer day
