In Photojournalism, I learned how to do lots of different kinds of pictures. The easiest pictures for me to take is tilt, rule of thirds, and selective focus. Most of the pictures I took before this class were rule of thirds and I hadn't even noticed it. Tilt is another type of picture I like to take because it makes the picture more interesting and makes you want to look at it longer. Selective focus is another one I love to take because it focuses in on the one thing you want to capture a picture of. I love how it can blur the background; it makes the viewer wonder what the background really was and makes the center of interest pop out.
In Language of the Image, I learned that an informational photograph is a little more than a visual record of a person, place, or event. An informational picture has no story-telling qualities. Passive photographs, on the other hand, show people essential purpose and sometimes taking a passive photograph is the only option a photographer has in a situation. These pictures show people purpose for publication and it's good when the action of the story is no longer taking place. An active photograph is the most common photograph there is. These pictures show real people in real events. Photographers take these photos to get an image of the event happening and to tell about their environment and the world around them. An action photograph captures the essence of a situation.
