Bob Rosato

focal length of lens: 300 mm

shutter speed: 1/800

aperture: 2.8

The effect of shooting with this fast shutter speed let Rosato sharply capture the moment without any blurring. The aperture setting gave this picture more focus on the players and not what's in the background because a large aperture creates a small depth of field. Rosato was standing behind the line of scrimmage to shoot this.

Simplicity

There are no distracting things around the man, the only light is on his face and the rest of the picture is dark, which makes the photo simple and gives it a dark feel.

Lines

The bright, bold, red lines give make this photo feel strong and create good lines pointing to the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty's arm also creates a line pointing to the flag.

Framing

The destroyed building creates interesting framing to the smoking building in the background.

ATPI Beg Color Student Life/ Beg Color Open

I find this photo powerful because you can tell that the band is having a great time on stage and the audience is cheering for them so I just feel like it's an awesome moment for that band. I like how the frame is filled with interesting things such as people's cheering hands and the band on stage. I like how the lights are different colors, and even though the picture is kindof dark, you can still see what everything is and the lights add a nice touch.

"The Story"

I think the girls in this photo had their car break down in the middle of nowhere and they're trynig to figure out what's wrong with the engine.

"Action and Emotion"
The action in the photo is the super crazy fire that the guy is blowing and the emotion is the guy's friend smiling which shows that he thinks it's cool.

"Filling the frame"

This frame is specifically filled with a girl playing her trumpet and even though main focus are the valves, the girl is seen in the top right corner and her hand is shown in the left side of the photo.
