Photojournalism

Getting the right mindset for basketball

Procrastination

Study Time

Relaxation

Hard Work in the Garage

1. For the non-sports feature photo’s, there were three. The title and caption for the first one was: “Procrastination” “As Logan is yet another student affected by procrastination as the homework piles up.” The second one was: “Study Time” “Logan, a UW student, studying hard for his test coming up in his statistics class.” My experience when taking these pictures was easier than it would of been if I would of taken these pictures before Covid-19 had caused everything to shut down. The non-sports feature pictures were definitely a lot easier to capture rather than the sports-feature pictures. Some of the creative device I used when taking these photos was focus.

2. For the sports-related photos the title and caption of the first one is: “Getting the right mindset for basketball” “Logan a UW student, having high hopes to play college basketball for the Pokes at the University of Wyoming.” The second one is “Hard Work in the Garage” “Logan, a UW student, goofing around in the garage while taking a break from homework as he gets ready for the weekend to come.” For the sports action photo titled, “Hard Work in the Garage,” it was definitely a challenge to get a good photo because there was movement from the person in the photo. Doing it off of my smart phone limits me from capturing a better shot rather from doing it off of a camera that is built for that kind of photography. The creative device I used to get these shots were sports-action and sports-feature.

3. For the general photos I used in my top 5 the title was: “Relaxation” “Finally able to enjoy the nice weather in Laramie Wyoming as we have seen plenty of cold days. We are finally able to get ready for spring.” The atmosphere of the scene was nice because it was super nice outside and was easy to get the shot. I felt that when photographing this one it was a lot easier than the sports-action photo because the subject in the photo was sitting still. The creative device I used was background.

4. The only thing that suprised me when doing this assignment was that when I was taking the sports-action photo, it was a lot harder than I anticipated because a lot of the photos that I took came out blurry. I wish that I could of used a better camera instead of my smartphone when shooting my photo’s.
