5. Fact: A fact is something that is true and can be proven with information.

6. Opinion: An idea about something that is someone's personal thought.

7. Informed Opinion: An opinion someone has after hearing all of the facts and having the correct information to release a statement.

8. You could find facts when writing for The Dispatch by interviewing different people and researching whatever topic you are writing about on trusted websites.

9. An adult who has been given all the facts, such as a teacher, would most likely make a good informed opinion, rather than a student.

10. If you are writing something that you strongly believe in, you may accidentally let your own opinions slip in your writing.

11. Some words that cue me in that I'm writing opinions are, I, me, think, and any opinion type phrases such as, I don't like this.

12. The first amendment specifies the rights of the press.

13. The amendment says that people have freedom of the press.

14. I feel like the purpose of journalism has always been the same: to inform people about important news going on in their area or worldwide.

15. All of the headlines were about Donald Trump and controversial events surrounding him.

16. I think that some of the articles may be slightly biased towards Trump and his actions simply because of how they worded things to make it sound bad.

 17. Some of the articles chose to cover other things on their covers to appear less bias towards certain topics.

18. I don't think that all news should be covered the same because some of the more biased websites might dig a little deeper to find some of the harsher facts that other news sources might not want to report.

19. I think that as long people know that a website is slanted towards one side or the other before going on it, it is fine for websites to be a little bias.

20. I think you should click on multiple sources even if they aren't written the way you want you want it to be. If you don't look at different writing sources, you may not get all the facts.

21. I think that the media just needs to use all of the facts in a story and be as truthful as possible in order to accurately report new stories.

HDR Preview

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image? You have to change the ISO between each shot. 2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? You will just need a tripod for this shoot. 3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? HDR is good for landscapes and capturing the contrasts in the photo. 4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo? You will most likely see some color and contrast changes.

Merger Preview

1. Is there something you see in the photo above that you think could be a problem when you take your photos? Look carefully. Shadows would definitely be an issue and just different lighting in different layers. 2. Where do you think would be a great place to take this type of picture here on the Bowie campus? By the roses would be an interesting place to do it as there are many different places to pose/do. 3. Can you think of something creative to actually DO in the photo when you take yours? I could be smelling the rose, jumping over myself from the bench in the garden, or getting closer or farther from the camera. 4. Is there something you could wear that would help you when you do this photo? I don't really think clothing would affect anything but it might look cool if you coordinated your outfit with your surroundings.

self portrait assignment

Image
-Alter Your Perspective -Break the Rules of Composition -Experiment with Lighting Environmental Portraits: I really like both of these images because they create a realistic image of what is happening in the different settings. Self Portraits: I really liked these two images because they capture the subject of the photo in such unique ways. Casual Portraits: These photos do a good job of clearly showing someones everyday appearance *casually*. For my self portraits, I would make sure to be in an environment that I commonly use to show a little bit of my personal life in the photograph. I would also create good lighting in the room/space to shoot a clear and bright photo.
