There is a lot of things you can compare and contrast on when looking at to different blogs about photography. I chose the two minor topics of editing pictures for my main topic on photography, for comparison and contrasting.
Megan Hembree’s blog on editing is telling about the different things you can do to edit pictures. such as saying in her post “You can go in and edit pictures on different websites and make it how you want them to be. You may whiting peoples teeth, change their hair color, put borders around their photo and many more things, for free, with some websites. When editing, you are able to change what you don't like about the picture. "
She tells the different ways but not how to do them.
However Stephanie’s blog is on how to edit the pictures. She gives websites and tells you the main basic step you mainly have to do to edit them. such as she says “When you go to any of these four websites or any others you first upload the picture, and then go through all the effects you want, the possibilities are endless. "
There is so much about one topic that you can find a dozen of blogs on the little topic and be told so much and it probably, most likely won't come from the same blog. When comparing and contrasting look for the main topic such as the editing. look for minor detail as well though such as what about the editing.
Photography is a broad topic and its not hard to talk about it. Many people can talk about it in many different ways.
I interviewed three people about how much they knew about cameras, editing, etc. I wanted to see if age affected the knowledge about cameras. I took three different random people ages fifteen, thirty-two, and fifty-four; and asked them a couple questions to see how much they knew.
-When asked on a scale one through ten how much she knew about cameras fifteen year old Heather Morgan replied “about an seven and a half.” When asked the question how much do you use a camera, she replied “I use it quite often.” I asked if she knew more would she use her camera more than she already does, her reply was “probably.” Heather was asked would she be interested in learning more, (laughing) replied “probably not.” When asked do you know about animating and editing pictures, Heather replied “uh yeah sure but not a lot.” Then I asked if she would like to know more, and her reply was “sure.” So here is a video on how to use photobucket.com on ehow.com
-When asked on a scale one through ten how much she knew about cameras thirty-two year old Kimberly Williams said “two.” When asked the question how much do you use a camera, her reply was “not often.” I asked if she knew more would she use her camera more than she already does, she said “yes.” Kim was asked would she be interested in learning more, in reply the answer was “um no.” When asked do you know about animating and editing pictures, Kim said “no.” Then I asked if she would like to know more, and her reply was “not really.”
-When asked on a scale one through ten how much she knew about cameras fifty-four year old Murley Stuart replied “about a four.” When asked the question how much do you use a camera, her reply was “she buys a disposable one when need for important events/about every two years.” I asked if she knew more would she use her camera more than she already does, she said “no.”Murley was later asked would she be interested in learning more, in reply the answer was “no.” When asked do you know about animating and editing pictures, she said “no.” Then I asked if she would like to know more, and her reply was “no.”
In conclusion, overall my hypothesis was right. Younger people know more because they grew up learning it. Older people never had the variety of cameras we do today and so they never cared to learn about the new technology of cameras.
