#36 People (September 15, 1997)

This cover of People features a black and white photograph of Princess Diana, and the issue is a tribute to her life after she was killed in August 1997 in a car crash. Diana appeared on the cover of the magazine a record 52 times and was one of the most popular People cover subjects. In 1981, she married Prince Charles and arguably became one of the most famous women in the world. She was lauded for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and for an international campaign against landmines. Diana's death was greeted with extraordinary public grief, and her funeral at Westminster Abbey drew an estimated three million mourners in London, as well as worldwide television coverage.


That she is happy & and I like how the lighting is , and how the black & gray make the picture really go together . This picture is formal , cause she is up straigh smiling and looking straight ahead with a plain backround.

Portraits

WARM UP !! :D

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? That it was soft , and it got bigger.
2. How does this new camera work? It has an off & on button & when you have the pic it focuses on the foreground or backround.
3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about) About light & how to really make that picture have focusing.
4. Is it worth the money? Yes , it does the job for you and maybe you want it to be in the front or back.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

1. Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.
2. A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait. In most cases, the camera will be included in the scene (but this can help make a statement about your enthusiasm for photography). You can use your camera as a prop, and hold it away from your face. When you photograph into a mirror, be sure your reflection is in focus. An infrared autofocusing system will usually focus on glass if it's aimed into a mirror, and will focus at infinity if aimed at an angle. You might try focusing at an object that's the same distance as the distance from the camera to the reflection, lock in the focus, recompose the image to include yourself, and take the picture.
3. Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.

 I really like this picture, because the environment is a cemetery & the girl is still very happy, and i like how there is just that pop of color. And she still smiles.

I like this because of the back round , and how it looks cool. The different color contrast, its just a great picture because you still focus on him.

--------------------------------------------

  I like this picture because the pop of color, and how her facial expression is.

I like this because its cool how its a picture within a picture, and how you would think she is smiling by what she is wearing. And i like the lighting and colors

--------------------------------------------

My favorite because its a picture perfect moment because how they are posing, and how the colors go all together.

I like this because it follows the rules of thirds & then its adorable how they are just holding hands, and i like how you can tell there happy .

I want to take pictures of fashion and like really bring it out , I'm thinking of trying to find just a white background, if not then just outside , and I'm going to try and get pictures on days where its not so sunny and try to follow the rules of photography.
