ShutterBug Websites

I chose to look at Lens, the photographic journalism section of the New York Times. Lens seems to have more focus on what the photographers are doing and on what they're picturing. For example the featured story on the site today is about a photographer trying to capture an old neighborhood of Chicago before it changes due to the rapid gentrification in city. The site likes to give background information not only what is in the photos, but why the photos were taken what is the photographers goal. The site even tells the story of how the photographers ended up at two drive by shootings in Chicago. I think the average viewer can get a lot of information not only about photography stuff, but some things about the world itself, and how it is today. I would recommend this site, just because its kinda unique and it gives a different balance and level of information in its articles.

Africa

The pictures on the Scientific American, show a slideshow of photos taken by photographer Nick Brandt. These photos display various nature and animal scenes taken in Africa. These photos in my opinion are very good, and it makes me question how he even got these pictures. The photo I think I like the best, is the one of the lion and cubs sitting upon a rock in front of the sun. My second favorite being the picture baboons in profile, I like this photo, because of the weird mist effect that is visible. When I looked up Nick Brandt on google images, my eye was instantly drawn to this picture , and I liked this one the best because of the light that is piercing through the tree line, onto this elephant. This photo follows the composition rules of balance, simplicity, and lines. Nick Brandt used a Pentax 6711, and used two fixed lenses on medium black and white format film. It is important to note that he did not use any telegraphic, or zoom lenses when shooting, which is usual...
