PhotoJ - Front Pages of the World

http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/?tfp_id=TX_FWST

1. I think I liked the ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'' the best, because it has 2 pictures for the main story on the front page and a little description with a note to a later paige where the story is continued. It also had two big side stories and a few little ones around the main story but they weren't so big, another reason why I liked that front page.
2. ''31 killed as plane slams into river'' was my favorite headline, because these are news which make you stop by and look closer and buy the newspapers. I think everyone is interested in what's going on in the world.
3. 9
4. I noticed that every newspapers had one head story with a few pictures. This headline was also the biggest of all. Then every front page had a few bigger side stories with medium sized text and sometimes pictures. And of course everyone had a lot of small stories on the sides of the newspapers.
5. The varies in the newspapers were, that some had bigger or smaller pictures for the head story and some hadn't even pictures for the side stories but some had pictures for every single little side story. Also in some newspapers, the text of the side stories was bigger than in other ones.

Commercials - ''Stations'' Ideas

Water Drops

To create a picture with water drops like this, I assume you need a high shutter speed, maybe a high ISO and definitely a low aperture to capture the light, because probably there won't be so much light. I think it is also important to have a camera with a large zoom to capture the details of the drops.

Black Acrylic Glass

For this picture you have to have a black background and a light which has to shine on the thing you want to take a photo of and of course the black acrylic glass on which the stuff has to stand. Also I think it's important to have a low ISO, high shutter speed and a big aperture/opening.

Light painting/spinning/circles of light

I think you need first of all a very low shutter speed, maybe more than a minute, I would say a high ISO and semi big to big opened aperture. Also you need to shoot in darkness and you need a light source, for example your phone, a hand light, etc.

Bubbles/Planet

To get this picture I think you need a black background, water with soap in it for the coloring and something to blow the bubble out of. As camera settings I would say you need a really high shutter speed so you can even capture a bubble, also a big aperture so you can have a small ISO.

Focus stacking

I would say for this picture you need a camera with a very good and large focus and a high shutter speed so you don't shiver around and don't get the picture you want. Also you should have set the camera for maybe a big aperture and small ISO.
