Magazine Review

I learned about how to take pictures of wildlife without disturbing them. I also learned a lot about different factors of light like the intensity, color, and direction of light. I learned about new products made for cameras. I read 5 different ways to flatter a person.
 I would subscribe to this magazine. I enjoy the information it gives me. I find it very useful. There are many different sections. Some are about contest, places to shoot, how-to's, and deals on different and new camera equipment. I can expect to find more how to's and tips in each issue. My favorite section was the 50 Perfect photo destinations. I liked it because, i'm always at lost on where to go and it gave me good inspiration.
Grant Dixon was born and still lives in Tasmania, Australia. He is an earth scientist. He is famous for landscape photography. I like his work because because he keeps his photos as close to the realist view as possible while still highlighting its best features.

Printing- what kind of paper is best?

4 characteristics of paper: Paper thickness, Opacity, Color Brilliance, Paper finish
ISO brightness scale is a rating found on photo printing package. Its the percentage of light reflected from the paper.
United States use the TAPPI scale to measure light, it counts the brightness of paper that is illuminated by a mixture of cool-white florescence and some daylight.

These sites have good portfolios because, they are very organized and have their best of the best photos up. I like how Lara's amount of photos she puts in her portfolio. John has a lot of pictures, yet he categorizes them in groups for people.
