EXPERIENCES

ALREADY DONE: 

• I have been to a cruise on the  Mediterranean sea. I went with my family last winter and I visited lots of cities. It was a good experience and I spoke a lot in English but I will not do another cruise on the Mediterranean cost. 

• I have gone with plane to Rumania. I went to visit my family and to see the center of Bucharest, the castle of Dracula and lots of funny things. 

• I have done rhythmic gymnastics for five years. I wore a special dress with strange shoes. I danced a lot and I like this sport but when I started the highschool I stop doing this. 

NOT YET:

• I haven't been to New York yet. I want to go on the 31st of December and to do ice skating in Center Park. I want to visit all the important things of the city.

• I haven't ridden an elefant yet. Last week my parents went to Bali and one of the excursions was to ride an elephant. They said that it was an amazing experience.

BEST ITALY PHOTO

Last month I did the 4ESO final trip, I took lots of photos and the best picture is:

I think that it is the best photo because I love the place and how colourful it is.

This picture is a medium shot about me. I am in the foreground just in the middle of the photo. In the background there is a waterway surrounded by houses. All the houses are very colorful and they capture our attention. It is a colourful, peaceful and powerful picture.

The photo is taken by my friend Carla when we were walking through the alleys of Venice.

A FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER

Last day I did an oral presentation about a famous photographer and an image that he did. The photo that I chose is a landscape.

AN ICONIC PHOTOGRAPH

V-J IN TIMES SQUARE is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays a U.S. Navy sailor grabbing and kissing a woman in a white dress, on Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) in New York City's, Times Square on 14 August in 1945. The author was photographing a spontaneous event: the end of the World War II.

Apart from the protagonists we can see big buildings and people walking down the street. The photo is in black and white and it is very spontaneous. Of course it is romantic, there is a kiss in the image. This iconic picture is natural and peaceful.

SHOTS & ANGLES

This picture is taken from a high angle which looks down to the car and it makes the object insignificant, very small.



This is a low angle and this angle looks up and we see the boy like a giant. We have the sensation that we are smaller than the boy.




This is an aerial shot, it shows us how big the beach is, with the sand, rocks, sea, people and umbrellas and we see it as if it was seen by a bird.



Wide shot, this is a general photo that it shows us the person in the middle of the picture that he is walking on the sand, we also can see the sea and the mountains, the blue sky and the clouds.

The photo shows us the point of view from the person who is driving a motorbike. We have the sensation that we are in the eyes of the rider and we can see his hands and the vehicle.
