 It is hard to judge because it is on newspaper, but It was a good photo other than the fact that the point of focus was the edge of the board, if it was the girls face or the  center of the board it would have been better.

the student and her board

It is hard to judge because it is on a newspaper, black and white, and has writing all over it most likely caused by a messed up printer. But it is a good photo that captures the yoyo without blur and makes it look excellent.

VI.
I would have liked to do the womens protest, because i want to know what its like to be at a protest, and I feel it would be nice to chat with other people who support womens rights. 

Overall the article was very good, it had some parts that i wasnt very interested in and some parts that i was, but that is normal. It was very good with the photos, and it had accurate and detailed storys and captions for each picture. However it wasnt very eyecatching, and The headlines were not as interesting as they could have been.

Website Review

The website was mostly showing people photographing techniques, top photographers, tricks, and what everyone is doing, it was doing so to help photographers improve the way they take photos.
They website mainly has links to many different stories and info that someone could use to learn more about photography. An average viewer can get info on how to get good photographs, what to expect in photographs, or even encourage them to stat photography. I wouldnt add this website to my bookmarks, because although i like photography, it isnt something i would do in my freetime. If someone asked me for a website for photography i would recommend this website, but otherwise no.

Rating: 4
It is great for a photographer but not interesting to someone who is new to photography.

Something I learned on this website is that any photography equipiment can be useful, no matter how useless you think it may be. It consisted of someone talking about how they were going to throw away an old lens and decided to try it one last time but it turned out to be amazing. Its better to keep your photographing equipiment even if it is old because it can always come into use if its broken, plus they are extremely expensive.
