Photo Story MCW

 The assembly starts off with a dazzling performance by Jason's band. The music hyped up the audience and prepared them for the exciting assembly ahead.

 History and Psychology teacher Karl Hui begins with the first performance of culture for the assembly. Doing his ancestral Wushu, Mr.Hui stunned the audience with a taste of Chinese Culture.

French Ballet followed Mr. Hui's performance and continued the demonstration of perfectly choreographed and graceful moves. Their performance really showed the exquisiteness of French culture as a whole.

After French ballet, an Indian dance followed. the exciting spins and turns brought a contrast to the minimal French Ballet, and touched upon Indian culture.

Traditional Japanese drumming was next . They contrasted the Indian dance and their drumming was very rigid, as all the drummers had to drum to the same tune and the beat was variations of the initial tune. In the end, Japanese drumming ended off the assembly great.

Korean Taekwondo followed the Japanese drumming. Their performance showed the rigidness of Korean culture especially their martial arts and followed the theme of rigidness of the drumming. Their bowing at the end was a cool way of ending off the assembly.

Story with a photo - Varsity Swimming...or Running?

Exposure:-0.3
Tint:-28
Highlights;-26
Meet Alan. He is a junior boy in the varsity swim team at Mission San Jose High School. Average grades, average look, average height. All in all, Alan seemed to be an ordinary boy. However, Alan was not an ordinary boy, he was extraordinary- in swimming. His swimming teammates and coach all called him fishboy because of his maneuverability and speed in the water. Today however, was also an ordinary day for Alan. Today is the day of the Annual Swimming Booty Shorts Run. Every year, the boys swim team dons the shortest shorts they can find and run 2-3 miles in public. Alan was particularly not looking forward to this day. He knew that he is tragic at running, and therefore bought the largest energy drink he could find. Embarrassed by his revealing attire, Alan tried in vain to block my camera as I captured him in inappropriate for school clothes. In the end, Alan told me that he blacked out after running half a mile, and his teammates had to carry him back.

Famished Fabian and Huge Hugh: Best of Friends Adventure in MSJ HOMECOMING WEEK

Famished freshman Fabian did not have a drivers license and therefore could not go out of school for lunch. Resorting to eat a variety of puke-inducing foods such as pizza with the cheese made of rubber and burgers with the patties made of humans. Fabian has now been to school for 205 days and for these 205 days, he had to suck up his tears and push down the disgusting school food. At this point in time, Fabian was considering moving to Irvington, where he heard the food was better, almost gourmet level.  On his 206th morning, Fabian was especially starved, and was dreading he thought of eating the school food. Arriving to school, Fabian was suddenly confronted by his favorite junior Huge Hugh. Huge Hugh then promptly gave Fabian a Huge Hugh Hug, and followed to explain his excitement. Multicultural Week is here! The making of school food shall be postponed for a week and students can now purchase food from restaurants. Fabian was especially excited for the "Chipotle Burrito", the holy grail of all fast foods. Sold by the class of 2016, the burrito was meaty goodness combined with delicious vegetables, all wrapped in a warmed tortilla. Hugh, a connoisseur in all fast foods, meticulously explained the joy of biting into a freely warmed burrito and  increased Fabian's interest. Lunchtime finally came, and Fabian sprinted to the class of 2016's booth. Giving up his 8 tickets in exchange for a burrito, Fabian unwrapped the burrito with his friend Hugh. Hugh, with adoring eyes, watched as Fabian's gaping mouth wrapped around the circumference of the burrito and crunched down on the delicious fillings. Overjoyed with the taste of this cuisine, Fabian then proceeded to buy Chipotle for the rest of Multicultural Week. After Multicultural Week ended, Fabian then left for Irvington, as he could not stand eating food that does not taste good. ~Fin

Shutter Speed and Everything Else

Partner: Rudrik Suthar

Lens Blog Photo
1. This picture has a fast shutter speed. This is shown because the cars that are supposedly moving super fast on the highway on the right side of the photo are captured and still. The trucks are not blurred, so it demonstrates the shutter speed must be fast to capture the photo clearly.

2. A rule of composition demonstrated by the photo is the "Rule of Odds." This is shown by the odd (3) number of trucks captured in the photo.

3. An element of art demonstrated by this photo is space. The distance between the trucks driving and the truck that crashed creates a sense of depth.

4. A principle of design used in the photo is movement. The eye first focuses on the red and blue truck because of its vibrant colors. Then, the eye shifts focus and is surprised at the truck that is laying on its side. After that, the eye focuses on the space between the red ruck and the truck that is lying down and zooms in on the green truck.

Shutter speed was not stated but I think it is 1/250, because that is the minimum shutter speed to capture fast movement i.e. the football.
