The last two cents for the semester.
Mutual understanding: We will not post any photo taken from Ranger assignment BEFORE it is published. When posting photos of Ranger assignments, we will put credit as such: Mary Jane/The Ranger in red right next to or under the photo.

Snowball fight and more
Finally, the newsroom was slow enough for me to search for some interesting photos of my own this afternoon. Here are some of the photos I took at the "Winter Fun Fest" at the mall area in front of Moody. I don't particularly like CYA overall shots although it is always good to have some when you cover assignments. I like photos of particular individual or group of individuals who interact with each other because these kind of photos always have a better focal point that attracts the viewers' eyes.

slow motion video of a bee
Found this just outside our department building. I shoot it with a high speed camera. It is 210 fps. No sound though.

This week's posting: In mid-air
In mid-air
A dominant visible object in your photo needs to be flying in the mid-air moving with a certain speed. In this particular case, let's not consider the moon, sun and stars. Due next Wed. before class.

Judson Candy Factory
This has to be my most favorite photograph I have taken yet in my career as a photographer. The whole essence of the reflection on the pavement is the best! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do =]

There were so many people downtown this weekend that I didn't know where to shoot photos!

reflection
I'll try for a better photo later, but I was feeling a bit philosophical and introspective while riding the bus to pick up my kids earlier tonight. This is a self portrait, taken with my camera phone, of my reflection looking at highway traffic zooming by my bus window.
Panning exercise
I picked up this panning photo at last Friday's meeting. The lighting was not enough to freeze the action. Using flash would greatly affect the candid moment especially when shooting kids.
The photo was not very sharp but it emphasized the subject more because of the panning effect. Thanks to Jennifer's daughter as a volunteering server for the cake.

first amendment discussion
I was discussing photojournalist and journalist rights in light of Occupy Wall Street, San Francisco, Philadelphia, etc. My photography friend Angela mentioned this link: photojournalist arrested.
A photographer covering an occupy demonstration in Milwaukee is arrested while taking photos of a protestor being detained. In the WISN TV story that follows the video, it states,
"Wednesday's arrest comes a little more than a month after officers arrested a photojournalist from WITI-TV at a fire scene.
The photojournalist was being told to move back from the scene of a fire despite members of the public standing closer to the scene than he was. When he questioned police about his placement, he was taken into custody."
Let's discuss. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? What separates photojournalists from citizen journalists? Does a press badge grant freedom? We are learning about laws and where photos are allowed. Was this photographer wrong for photographing the action on a public street?
It worries me to see police detaining someone covering news-- citizen or reporter--because information must reach the public. What reasons do you think they have to silence the media?
