Year in Review Part 3

1. During the holidays I spend the whole time with my family, every year we get even closer and I just think that was the most memorable thing.

3. What i'm looking for this year is going to different parts of mexico and meeting new people. 

Year Review 2013 PART TWO

1. What was the best song of 2013?

"Get lucky" by Daft Punk was for me the best song of 2013. What interested me was the rhythm and flow of the music, it made me dance. I believe that this was the best song of 2013 because it was really popular in many countries and overall a great pop futoristic song.

 2. What was the best movie of 2013?

The best movie of 2013 for me was, Fast & Furious 6. I have watched all of the movies and I just really like them. I believe that the cast of Fast & Furious is really great that why it was the best movie of 2013.

3. What was the most important news story of the year?

I chose Nelson Mandela's death as the most important news story of 2013 because for me like for many other people he was an extraordinary man. His death was a great tragedy and a big loss for the world, he achieve many things in his life and that why I think his dead was the most important news story of 2013.

4. What was the best video of 2013?

For me the best video of 2013 was "Wreaking Ball" by Miley Cyrus. I really liked the song and the video, thats why I believe that it was the best video of 2013.

5. What was the biggest story/person of 2013?

The biggest person of 2013 for me is Pope Francis. Besides being the first latin pope, he has done things that no other pope has said or done. He is also a respected person for religious people all over the world.

Year Review 2013 PART ONE

I was very interested in this photo, seen the guy under the car while its driving all of the guys look like they're having fun which gives happy emotions. The photographer shot this photo in a low angle that made the picture more interesting;view point, and he got in a position were the car was not in the center of the camera; rule of thirds. Lines are also visible in this photo, the guys arms pointing at the car and the lines from the road. The exposure quality is perfect lighting and sharp.

I like this photo because it makes you feel relaxed, calm. It also has a lot of power showing how immense nature is.This photo shows balance and depth of field. The exposure is really good, its sharp and clean.

Overall I think its a really good photograph.

This is also one of my favorites because I just liked the simplicity of the photo, I hadn't really seen this kind of photo where the body of the person is reflected off by the mirror, the emotion I get from this is playful but serious at the same time. The techniques and rules used in this photo are simplicity and mergers, her body is reflected off making her look part of the ground. It has a good exposure but I believe it could have been better.
