PHOTOJOURNALISM

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of:

* Timeliness — the images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events.

* Objectivity — the situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone.

* Narrative — the images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to the viewer or reader on a cultural level.

Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (physical danger, weather, crowds).

thanks Celes! medyo na compromise ng husto ang shutter speed (i actually wanted fast and sharp) dahil medyo noisy na ung shots. in a way nakatulong pala ung motion blur effect gaya nga ng nasabi mo medyo cinematic. madami lang wastage dahil maraming shots na moblur lahat sa frame.

yup saka ung tones niya parehas ng mga independent films. you're lucky you were able to squeeze into that chaos.. photo op talaga. besides i bet with everything happening there you really got to shoot fast.

siguro dahil cheap cool white fluorescent lamps lang ang light source doon. di ako satisfied sa WB presets kaya nag customised Kelvin temperature ako, trial and error hanggang happy sa color tone na pinapakita sa lcd. at least kahit naka RAW, medyo pandagdag peace of mind na pag nag edit na e konting adjust nalang sa kulay.

very lucky nga Celes, plano ko talaga pumunta early saturday morning kaso nagpumilit si misis ng friday night kaya blessing na may kasama ako na gusto rin makita ung aksyon. maganda pala talaga bago magstart orasyon at mga seremonyas e andun ka na para masanay na sila sa presence mo (as a photographer). pagdating ng tamang oras, feeling nila isa ka na rin sa kanila at di na conscious sa pagkuha mo ng litrato. gusto ko ibalik ung respeto sa pagpayag nila makunan kaya never akong gumamit ng flash kaya nagstruggle naman ako sa noise. 4-hrs kami naghintay ng aksyon at nung oras na ng tusukan e machine gun mode na. ang hirap din sumipat dahil siksikan. ung ibang puti na turista bumigay na sa panunyut, nanood nalang =).

ang astig n2 sir, nde lang pla 3d visualization ang astig d2 sa CGP, pati photographs din... galeng...

grabee sir..ang ganda talaga nng shot mo..nakaka-inspire..

i really like the play of shadow bouncing the wall. and i think this could be great if more light creates in the environment because the way i see it its a bit pale.

thanks inkheart, appreciated your comment.

just want to share mine, i'm a beginner at this. it is our local flood story

Talegating


It happened around 7:20 am. at B ring road near the intersection of Crazy signal Road. Witnesses say the accident was caused by tailgating, and no one was badly hurt.

That day going to work the traffic jam stuck me for 20 minutes,very frustrated I want to go out and walk makapag time in muna at balikan na lang ang oto.

Dito kasi sa Middle east hilig tumutok at bumusina.kaya sa inis ng nasa unahan biglang hihinto..ika nga sa atin Wag Tutok Galit Barok..Distansya amigo.

Kaya naglagay ako ng Baby on board sa likod para di mabuli lalo na ng mga 4X4,iiwas sila at di ka na tututokan

My camera is always with me tutal late na rin lang naman binabaan ko na then kinunan ko ng ilang shot.






Drive safely and defensively

You are fortunate there, you can take an accident event photos freely. Here in UAE police will stop you unless you are media.

Good thing no one was hurt. Ingat kayo mga bros dyan, drive safely.

Yes sir dito naman kung wala naman casualties ok lang,marami sa mga forum dito sa Qatar nag po-post ng mga ganyan to inform the public ang sistema ng kalsada dito lalo na sa mga round about to avoid accident.Sir thanks, ingat talaga pag hawak na manibela at lamig ng ulo baka ma pa subo.
