Mood Music

The mood and message of the music this album evokes is influenced by music from the 60s or 70s, along with pop and punk music from the 90s. This electronic music gives a different feeling to the audience. The artist definitely tries out different moods and musical textures in each of the songs.  The album is both uplifting and lamenting. 

My Experience

I think assigning us to smaller groups and discussing our photographs was a great idea. It definitely is a better way of communicating with others in the class. When we work in small groups I feel like it is a better opportunity for people to give personal feedback, whether is positive or negative responses. The people in my group said they liked the overall story I captured and how they got a sense of what it was like to be in the city. There are a few changes they said I can make for two of my photographs, but I necessarily don't agree with them because that's how I wanted to capture and edit the photograph to get that particular mood.

‘Picture Story’

Quinn Rooney winning second best sports photographer in the year of 2012 captured this wonderful photo of Travis Nederpelt. Travis Nederpelt competed in the Heats of the men's 400 Metre Individual Medley during the Australian Olympic Swimming trials. This caption of the image definitely completes the story. This is image is very compelling because of the way it is shot. He captured nice details of the water and especially the bubbles coming out of the swimmers nose. As the swimmers head comes out of the water, you get that texture and feel of the water. I think he captures great actions shots of different athletes during these events.

This photograph is considered bad for many reasons. The first thing that caught my eye was the light reflection hitting off of the container, which is sort of a distraction for the entire image. Secondly, there isn't really any focus on a specific subject. All the food objects are kind of just there placed on the table. Everything in the background is sort of a distraction too, especially if the photographer was trying to capture the food. The photographer should have just focused on one thing and cut some other things out. If he/she focused on one specific food item it would have came out clearer and the audience would have known what the main focus of the photograph was.
