4 websites

https://blog.phowd.com/2014/09/7-tips-shooting-great-portrait-photographs/

a. The article talked about different tips and tricks to keep in mind while taking pictures of models. For example, the article said to make your model get out of their comfort zone a little bit but still feel comfortable. Another idea to think about when taking pictures is having your model look away from the camera to give a cool effect.

b. I learned that you should leave some negative space in the picture around the model to show the background a little bit instead of cropping just the models face. The website also said to break some of the rules of photography so that your picture can stand out from other photographer's pictures.

c.  The site related to photography because it talked about tips and tricks to use as a photographer to get a good picture.

https://blog.ted.com/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/

a. The video I watched was a time-lapse of Rio de Janeiro. It showed many different places in Rio and included a lot of different angles on the same area.

b. Joe Capra created this time-lapse in 2014. It was featured during season 1 of TED Global 2014. Joe has a website: http://www.scientifantastic.com/about/ He is a Los Angeles based photographer and likes to take time-lapse photography, still photography, cinematography, and editing according to his website.

c. Joe took this video for Panasonic because they wanted him to take another time-lapse after his Iceland video. They needed a video for their new 4k ultra-HD television sets. Joe says that he's always wanted to go to Rio so he decided to shoot his video there.

d. I learned that photographers can also make creative videos and other cool things and not just regular photos or portraits.

a. I picked this photo because I have never seen anything like this and I like that it is unique compared to some of the other photos on the website.

b. In the photo I see the rule of balance because there is a good amount of plants on either side of the weird plant. I also see the rule of thirds because the plant is not directly centered in the photo.

c. Rachel Susan took this photo and the other photos on the website.

a. I picked this photo because I think the angle that the picture was taken from is really cool and the stairs are very old and you don't see stairs built like this much anymore.

b. I see the rule of depth in this picture because by taking the picture from the top of the stairs and showing them all the way down to the bottom it showed depth. I also see the rule of lines because the stairs create lines that go all the way down the picture and gradually get smaller toward the center of the picture.

c. Christian Richter took this picture and the other photos of the staircases shown on the website.
