5a. Rule of thirds is if you draw an imaginary tic-tac-toe box on the box the main subject should be on the vertex of one of the lines.
5b. Balancing Elements is balance is if you cut the picture down in half both sides will have the same thing.
5c. Leading Lines is the lines will make the subject of the picture stand out or they will lead toward the subject5d. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition) is when the picture has the same thing over and over again.
5e. Viewpoint is the way the picture was taken.
5f. Background/simplicity is when the picture is not distracted by anything in the background.
5g. Create depth is when the picture is in focus on the subject and everything in the background is too.
5h. Framing is when something naturally in the picture is creating a frame around the main subject.
5i. Cropping is focusing on a certain object in the picture that might be better than the actual subject

10. Explain how "strong action" verbs enhance a caption
11. Explain how ethics come into play in regards to photojournalism and compare and contrast this with fashion photography. You really need to get the idea that changing photos to fit a need or to make something look like something else is VERY unacceptable in photojournalism.

Definitions you are responsible for (I highly recommend you post these on your blog with the definitions and make sure they are correct, many of the ones you posted on your blog previously were INCORRECT. All definitions need to relate directly to photojournalism. Example: many of you defined burning as "pain that feels hot as if it were on fire" , when the correct answer is "burning- increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker."):
1. Aperture A aperture controls the amount of light that reaches a digital camera sensor.
4. F-stop
6. Negative total inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark or the other way around
7. Positive actual color of the image in black and white
8. Contact sheet photographic image produced from a film like a display of all your pics
9. Agitation - to shake move around
10. Enlarger an optical projector used to enlarge a photograph
11. Stop bath acid bath used to stop the action of a developer
12. Fixer chemical compound that sets or fixes photographs
13. Safe light light source suitable for use in a photographic darkroom.
14. Burning increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker
15. Dodging. decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter
