2016 best photos

This photo had a nice color palette. the simplicity was complemented with color

The silhouettes are crisp and blurry, the subject only appears on the top half of the photo


the girl seems peaceful, and the nature is healthy and stunning




best song of 2016

Make Me (Cry) Noah Cyrus ft. Labrinth

this song is the best in 2016 because of the new sounds that it brings, including drops, trains whistles and more. the vocals in the song are also rough but perfect for the topic. Noah Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's sister, so the new album jumpstarts Noah's career.





best movie of 2016

Passengers

this movie is my favorite that was released in 2016 because it was somewhat new. the plot of the movie was different. the graphics were amazing and vibrant. the storyline was a bit slow but still exciting.





most important news of 2016

Trump wins U.S. Presidential Election

this news was the the most impactful in 2016 because it was devastating and catastrophic for some and an angel sent from heaven for others. Trump becoming president was extremely impactful to the united states because it dethroned the current President Obama.





most important person of 2016

David Bowie

Bowie was very influential to a lot of people. once Bowie died on January 10th, because of liver cancer, many tributes have been created since. his lightning bolt make up and heterochromia has become a special trademark.





biggest entertainment story of 2016

Kanye's and Taylor's Battle

1. Rule of thirds- moving the subject out of the middle of the photograph to improve composition

2. Balancing Elements- equal visual performance

3. Leading Lines- lines the lead the eye to or from a subject

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- both sides are similar and have same patterns

5. Viewpoint- an angle that draws the eye to a different place

6. Background- scene farthest from lens

7. Create depth- focus range varying 

8. Framing- subject being defined an outline

9. Cropping- removal of unneeded edges

10. Mergers and avoiding them- subject is being distracted by object in front or behind 

3.

ISO- sensitivity of the subject

Shutter Speed- how fast the shutter captures the picture

Aperture- size of opening on lens
