Week 4 blog form

  1. The best photo I have taken on a personal opinion has to be week 3 Chelsea Nofzinger's main photo, the reason is the lighting and the wind decided to work with me rather than against me Normally I have to fight with the wind even when talking to people, haha. 
  2. Mark Cumo, my first ever picture subject for this class has to be the worst, I didn't know how to use the camera properly and the wind and cooking equipment was everywhere with a little dash of paranoia of braking a expensive camera, Week 1 had to be the worst one
  3. The skill I feel that needs to be mastered, at the very least worked on is my ability to get in close to my subject. Getting a good mug shot is key to getting a good report. I can do an overview shot but a close up is still hard work for me. Hopefully I can get over that issue with a longer ranged lens on the camera

Mike Westphal, Ruben Beltran, and Eric Randall Extreme Velocity Tactical The hosts of this event had a profound impact on the mood of the lobby as the airsofters got ready for the next fight. Super fun super cheep 25$ to start and it comes with 5,000 bb's pretty good deal if you ask me. This mock-war-time reporter got put under massive pressure being tossed onto a battleground armed with nothing more than a camera and hope. As the bb's whistled past this reporters head and flash-bang grenades going off close by, his reporter survived to tell the tail. (haha, just fun and games here) Hold The Line!

Tangent City Hall This is City Hall of Tangent, back in this reporters younger years when things were simpler, this used to be a home of a woman the entire elementary school next door thought was the lair of the "Crazy Cat Lady" There was a simple rumor that passed through the school about when the woman died. The rumor was that when the owner died she left her entire estate to her cats. Remember this is just hearsay but what made it stick is that some of the teachers at the school made comments about the cats owning the house next door.   Tangent Elementary This is the school this reporter went to as a child, far to the right of this photo is City Hall (first photo). This is the spot I would sit every day for lunch back in the day, most left me alone but that was the the favored outcome for this reporter. Years after my departure from this school it seems the only thing that has changed is the brightly colored paying equipment in the background.  The Los...
