Ending Questions 

  1. A hard news story provides more factual information, and firm statements, while not including the thoughts of people. In an opinion piece, the write is mostly trying to convince the audience to support their opinion on what the topic is about. 
  2. There are not many photos on this page because images do not tell a story in this case because the information is very factual or strongly believed, and an image cannot really express that. 
  3. I think three opinion pieces that would be good to write about are the thoughts on EOC and STAAR tests, the new chrome books at the school, and the wonky air conditioning at Bowie High school.

Landscape Photography

1. One website that you can use to learn about the location you are going to shoot is Google Maps. 2. One app that I might download to check for angles of my photographs would be an app that tells me what the weather is going to be like whenever I go shoot. I also would like to know when the sun rises and sets. 3. The biggest problem when shooting with a zoom lens is that the foreground and the background tend to merge together in the images. 4. Instead of using HDR method, you can use ND grad method to capture the most detail. 5.  In case of bad weather, you should bring a waterproof plastic bag for your camera, appropriate clothing, and many cloths to clean the camera lens. 6.  Pre-scouting could help you when shooting because you can shoot that location from a different viewpoint than all of the other photographers have shot it from before. 7. The subject is more important than the composition, because the subject should influence the composition to create the perfect ph
