I chose this as my favorite magazine because its so amazing. Ive never seen a photograph of a baby fetus so clear. It also shows how a mother is so connected to their baby. Their communication is made threw the kicks of the babes little feet. The umbilical cord also demonstrates a form of connection. The picture ties to the Title very well,Because a baby fetus is the very beginning of LIFE. The lighting of the picture is really good considering the circumstances. You can see the baby fetus details like the eyes, little nose, lips, and fingers. The magazine was well composed, but cold use some cover lines.

Fixed Portrait Shoot Submission


ISO 100, Aperture 4.0, 1/100

ISO 400, Aperture 4.0, 1/125

ISO 800, Aperture 4.0, 1/100

1. The best ISO for my pictures was 800.
2. My next best photo was the picture taken with an ISO of 400.
3. I kinda had equivalent exposure because my 100 was too dark but the others were close.
4.I learned that the position of the person takes away from the picture and i need to make sure my subject is centered.

My Favorites!! (:

1. My favorite song of 2013 was "Say Something" by: The Great Big World Ft. Christina Aguilera. I choose this song because when i first heard it i cried. Also because i could really relate to the  song. I thought it was the best of 2013 because it really talked about how i emotionally felt threw the year. Lastly because Christina's AMAZING!
2. Catching Fire was my favorite movie of 2013. I didn't real get to watch as many movies as i wanted this year, but I waited too long for this one to come out. It was super intense, but i hate the ending because it left me hanging and wanting more. i am a big fan of the hunger games.
3. The most important news story of the year was Nelson Mendelas death. Even though the world lost an amazing person, he left his mark and inspired a lot of people. He was so humble and did everything so that everyone could get alone no matter the color of their skin.
4. The most important person of 2013 was Jennifer Lawrence. I choose her because she's been a big hit in the movies that came out. i feel like she's really growing in her talent, she impressed me. This year she was nominated for 141 awards and won 64 of them! She won Best performance of an actress in Leading role. Jennifer was on fire!

2013 Year Review

 BEAUTIFUL! Was the first word that came to my mind. Its crazy what nature can do. The water is so white it shines. The way this photo was taken, demonstrates the rule of depth. You can see the trees in the opening, then it moves down to the rocks with the leaves and moss growing on the rocks, all the way to the pool of water.
 This duck looks like he's living the life! I couldn't believe it when i saw it I wish I could be as cool as him. The picture is very sharp and clear, you can see the water droplets and smoothness of the water.
This picture is full of emotion. Imagine a whole bunch of excited and nervous people getting ready for their big wedding day! I thought it was so interesting cure I've never heard of a united wedding. This picture presents the composition of lines.
