Favorite Cover


Online DescriptionStephen Colbert was wonderful but the baby had all sorts of diva-like demands—a full trailer with a plasma screen tuned to "Teletubbies," a Dior Homme diaper, and at least one of Pamela Anderson's breasts. It wasn't easy, but it's what we had to work with. Colbert was photographed by Mark Seliger - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/2007-winners-finalists#sthash.32t3SwD9.dpuf

My Critique: Stephen Colbert, one of my favorite late night television hosts, poses here with an infant version of himself, which would give us readers a chuckle and make us wonder why he's holding that! The cover line says "Stephen Colbert for President" which makes me think all sorts of things that maybe Colbert has done or is starting to do. The lighting quality is great, doesn't distract me from the subjects of the photo. The smaller cover lines are red, white, and blue, inspiring the patriotism in Americans.

ISO Questions

1. The best ISO setting we used was ISO 800.
2. Our next best photo was ISO 1600.
3. Yes'm.
4. Different lightings require different settings for the picture, and you need to learn to let the light in or out with aperture, shutter sped, and ISO.
