Online Journals

In this task, we were told to look out at the difference between a journal and an article and also state whats in each one and also read one and also make reference to one and talk about whats in one.

With that in line, comparison i made was journal articles contain original research and have been peer-reviewed which means that an anonymous person in the field has read it over and checked it for mistakes. Magazine articles don't present original research (for the first time, anyway) and have not been peer-reviewed.

We were then told to read a journal and then summarize or mention what we understood by reading all this. For that, since i have an interest in photography, video editing etc. I chose to have a look at an online journal on photography.


This the online blog where I was going to read and see what this had to offer : http://www.bjp-online.com/

Reading from this journal i got to know multiple works by people that I have never heard of and the repetition of these names showed me that they were actually famous for their works. An example was Max Pinckers, a Belgian photographer who won an award for one of his best images. This is the picture that got him the prize :


Reading the journal more also gave me more understanding of shooting techniques like portrait, landscape and the likes. It was widely spread with different tabs which were linked by multiple pages with this information.

So this blog actually is one that one can look at and see what is happening around the world because it is currently updated with new works and may help the upcoming or already established photographers out there learn a few things or two and also post their own stuff as well.
