Best magazine covers 2013

Favorite:




(April 30, 1965)
The fetus became widely recognized after LIFE published Linnart Nilsson's photograph of an 18-week-old fetus inside the womb on its April 30, 1965 cover. Swedish photographer Nilsson used an endoscope with an electronic flash to capture both the cover picture and pictures appearing inside the magazine to chronicle the beginning of human life. These pictures are part of Nilsson's book, "A Child Is Born," which sold eight million copies in the first four days after publication.
I like this picture because it has to do with babies and its amazing how they are created. When I think how an egg and sperm make a human it is unbelievable because it becomes a human and it grows pretty big in a womb and after they are born they don't stop growing. The exposure in this image is pretty dark but at the same time you can still see the image.

  1. The best ISO setting for my portraits was 100.
  2. My best picture would have to be my first one because its clear and you can see the model even though its dark.
  3. Yes I was able to create equivalent exposure by changing the aperture and shutter speed.
  4. When the ISO's are different I can still take a clear picture by changing aperture and shutter speed.

Year in Review: 2013

 The emotion seems very powerful even though you can't see the person face.
Its rules for this is simplicity because the person stands out in the middle.
The exposure quality of this image is a little bit dark.

 There is a lot of emotion with the kid and the people who are cleaning the windows.
The rules for this picture is balance because of the three people.
In this picture there isn't bright lighting.

There isn't any emotion to this image because there isn't any people.
The rules for this image would be lines.
The exposure quality is really good because you can see everything clearly.
