WEEK NINE, DAY 4: LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
Monday March 15th, 2010
This was yet another picture taken in the Bahamas. There isn't really much to say about it. The angle isn't spectacular it's a very straight on picture with parents obviously twisting their necks to see their child play the drums.

WEEK NINE, DAY 3: WIDENING THE GAP
Friday March 12th, 2010
It's obvious that this photographer wanted to emphasis the curve of the track and I think it was done beautifully. This picture also shows that this stadium is extremely huge. However, I do wish the lighting was better because I can hardly see Chris Brown, a well-known Bahamian athlete who is currently ahead of many other athletes. He's left a substantial gap in between the other runners and by the way the photo was taken it looks like it's a very wide one.

WEEK NINE, DAY 2: BEYOND THE BARRICADES
Thursday March 11th, 2010
This picture shows the depth of field concept. As you can see the barricades are what stand out the most in the picture because of the angle they were taken at. This picture makes it clear that the policemen don't want anyone passing beyond these red and white barricades.

WEEK NINE, DAY 1: ONIONS ANYONE?
Wednesday March 10th, 2010
This picture follows the rule of thirds. Notice Mr. Rolle of Exuma, Bahamas is on the far left of the photo and the rest of the picture shows the large onion field.

My Fort Charlotte Photos
Hey everyone!
On Wednesday March 10th, 2010 my photojournalism class went to Fort Charlotte in Nassau, Bahamas. We were told to go around and take pictures. But of course I knew we'd be taking more than just pictures, we'd be using all the photojournalistic information we had acquired over the past eight weeks to take our pictures.
Here's what I got on my first shot!

But of course I knew we'd be taking more than just pictures, we'd be using all the photojournalistic information we had acquired over the past eight weeks to take our pictures.
Here's what I got on my first shot!
This is my favorite picture. I like the way I captured the wall. In this picture it doesn't even look like a wall to me, it looks like a wave. I love the textures and smoothness of the wall, the colors and even the depth of the picture is okay for a first try.
For the following two pictures, I was trying to capture a certain angle. I wanted to show depth by making the light a major focus of the picture but also I wanted to show the length and curve of Fort Charlotte.
For this picture I was actually standing very high up from this barricade. I used the zoom feature on my camera and was able to take this shot. My focus of the picture was really the NO ENTRY sign.
I was experimenting with parallel lines in this picture with the power lines and then the horizon of the sea, the edge of the wall and the two drain lines on the wall. They all go in the same direction and that's what I was trying to capture.
I wanted to show distance in this picture. I think it has a depth to it. I'm not really sure as yet but I was definitely experimenting with showing distance.
For the next two pictures, I had to get really low, down and dirty to get these shots. I like the natural lighting in the first picture. Also, this part of the structure is actually very small but I wanted to make it appear larger than it actually it is as seen in picture two.
I wanted to capture not only the structure but also the tourists. Fort Charlotte is one of the many tourist attractions in Nassau therefore, I wanted to show tourists coming to this spot to enjoy and learn the history of the fort. The cracks and age in the structure shows that it's been around for a very long time.
I was trying to show repetition with with the lights and also I wanted to show the depth of field.
I know I still have soooo much to learn but I think I did pretty well for my first try at photojournalistic picture-taking.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 5: A MAN-SIZED STREET CONE?
Tuesday March 9th, 2010
I really love the angle of this picture. It really makes me see photography in a very creative and inspiring way. This photographer was able to make a street cone, which is probably less than half the size of the police officer, appear to be the same height. It's a very stunning and ingenious angle because it shows that the cones, which are used to warn cars of something, are just as important as the police officer.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 4: TYLER PERRY IN THE BAHAMAS!
Monday March 8th, 2010
This is why I love photojournalism. I never even knew that Tyler Perry, a reknowned director, producer and actor of Madea and other sensational black films was in the Bahamas and is planning to use The Bahamas as a backdrop for the premiere of one of his movies, 'Why Did I Get Married'.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 3: FROZEN FLUIDITY
Friday March 5th, 2010
I love the motion and balance in this photo. The expressions, the life and the energy these four girls are showing are as bright as the skirts they are wearing. It's obvious they love dancing and performing.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 2: PUTTING THE LAW IN FOCUS
Thursday March 4th, 2010
This picture interested me because these students in California who were protesting about the rise in education fees are blurred whereas the officer in the back is clearer. The focus has been put on the law. The photographer who took this picture obviously wanted people to understand that even though many people are rioting there is still some measure of control over the situation.

WEEK EIGHT, DAY 1: SHE'S A HE?
Wednesday March 3rd, 2010
What I like most about this picture is the focus and emphasis put on the man in the front. Yes, it is a man! I was so shocked to read about the beauty pageant with Indian transgendered people. The focus put on the man, really makes his feminine beauty stand out even more.
