Prompt shoot peer review

Madison's Blog

1. I like this photo because I feel like it clearly relates to the prompt. The way that it is blurred is really nice. I like that it follows the rule of lines.

2. I like this photo but I wish the subject wasn't directly in front of the camera. The relation between the prompt and the photo is very good though.

3. I really like the shadows in this photo and how they affect the lighting.

4. I love how you chose to make this photo black and white because I love how the sky looks ombre in the background. I also really like the viewpoint that this photo was taken from.

My favorite image was The End. This is because I love the viewpoint as well as that it is black and white because I feel like it suits the photo very well.

My least favorite image would be the Eight photo just because I feel like it was kind of simple.

The best portraying was done in the fourth photo from my perspective.

The least successfully portrayed photo was the footprints photo from my perspective.

2015 Photos of the Year




When I first saw this photo, I was immediatel intrigued. I love the colors that are muffled behind the muddy glass. I also like the contently resting faces of the subjects in the photo. This photo is very visually appealing because the natural lighting is perfect as well as the muffled bright colors in the men's clothing.









I love all of the exciting colors that are present in this photo. The light illuminating the chapel in the background is very inviting and warm. The dancers moving in the foreground make the environment seem very fun and friendly.
















I like this photo because when I look at it, I feel as it I am swept away into the whirlwind of fish that are engulfing the sea diver. This photo encapsulates such majestic movement within it and it truly intrigues me.















The Best Song of 2015

Fourfive Seconds by Rhianna, Kanye West, and Mccartney

  I think that Fourfive Seconds is one of the best songs of the year because personally, I think that it is a great song. Also, the song is a little quirky and different. I like that about the song because it makes it seem a lot more relatable. The song was marked 18 on the Official Top 40 Biggest Songs of 2015.
