photo prompt

black and white africa blog

Reaction:  I thought this photo shoot was really cool, it showed alot of different types of animals found in africa and it displayed them like if they were people almost like they were saying something to you or showing a kind of emotion.

Zebra: the picture of the two zebras looking back was my favorite because i like zebras a lot they kind of remind me a little of myself i also like the one of the rhino looking in the water, it resembles a mirror

He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses
he photographs exclusively in Africa, one of his goals being to record a visually poetic last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are gone at the hands of man.

Elements of news

• Proximity: This has to do with location. If the event is happening close by, it will impact your readers more than if it is happening across town, or across the world, all other considerations being equal. A dance at your school, for instance, is more newsworthy than a dance at another school.
http://austin.ynn.com/content/sxsw/277316/sxsw-chaos-prompts-new-regulations-by-apd
• Prominence: This has to do with how well known the people involved in your story are. If the person or persons are well known to your readers, the story will impact your readers more than a similar story involving people they do not know.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20479127,00.html
• Timeliness: If something is happening NOW, it has more impact than something that happened yesterday or last week. Often, the most recent development is the feature of the story.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/04/05/texas.scotus.inmate/index.html?hpt=T2
• Oddity: If something is unusual, the oddity alone can make it newsworthy, because people want to know why it has happened.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20479330,00.html
• Consequence: If the impact of an event on your readers is major, they want to know all about it. For instance, they might not care that a particular street is being shut down for repairs, until it is brought to their attention that this will reroute the major portion of the traffic into their residential areas. This will affect them in a significant way, and they will want to know about it.


• Conflict: Readers have an interest in disagreements, arguments, fights and rivalries. If an event has conflict attached to it, many readers will be interested on that basis alone. Stories that involve conflict are those about sports, trials, war, politics and even Congressional debates.http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52596.html


• Human interest: If a situation makes you angry, sad, happy or overjoyed, it contains the news element of human interest. Some stories are newsworthy on this basis alone.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110405/ap_on_sp_co_ne/bkc_ncaa_uconn_celebration
