Statesman

1.
I liked this photo, just because of how happy this man and the entire crowd look. They look absolutely happy to be there and to be cooking with this man. I also chose this  because he is taking selfie ,and thats pretty funny.

I chose this video because it hit very close to home. I knew the victim personally. We had played baseball together in the past and he was a great person. I can only imagine the horror his family must be going through right now.

Contest Preview, Show and Tell

(fall contest)
 I think the background of this photo makes the subject pop really well. Also it just looks cool with all of the colors in the picture. The photo is very clear and the lighting is perfect.
(fall contest)
 This photo also has a lot of very good colors in it. I love the reflection in the water.  I like how the colors in the water are stronger than in the the actual buildings. Lighting is also really good in this photo, the dark background brings out the colors an the subject.
(fall contest)
The lines in this picture are very effective, they carry your eye across the entirety of the photo. The lighting is a little to bright for my taste, i would prefer it to be a little darker it is not bad.

2. To reproduce a greater Dynamic Range of luminosity than possible using standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. HDR images can represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject.
