(They got their start by winning Season 3 of the NBC series <i>The Sing-Off<\/i> and have gone on to achieve many accolades, including platinum-selling albums, YouTube videos with billions of views, and two GRAMMY awards.) I\u2019m a visual person, so I always enjoy seeing pictures of my favorite musical group! Since this is a journalism class, however, I wanted to stick to a journalistic source.<\/li>\n<li>What I Like About It:\n<ol>\n<li>The photos are crisp, pristine, and of excellent quality, with clear images and nice bokeh.<\/li>\n<li>There is a mixture of single-person and group shots.<\/li>\n<li>The photographer did well at getting different positions of the singers when doing group shots: some with their heights staggered, some linear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>What I Think Could Have Been Stronger:\n<ol>\n<li>I would have liked to see the singers interacting more with the audience and the venue (the BOK Center is a multipurpose arena and indoor-sports arena in Tulsa). Basically, I\u2019d like to see the newspaper putting Tulsa\u2019s unique thumbprint on a Pentatonix concert.<\/li>\n<li>I would like to have seen more personality in each photo. As it is, they\u2019re great shots of great singers, but that\u2019s all they are. I\u2019d like to look at a picture or two and say, \u201cWow, he really captured the essence of Avi there.\u201d Nothing really stood out as saying \u201cThis is Pentatonix\u201d from \u201cThis is a rock band.\u201d There was also no emphasis on the characteristic that makes them unique: that they are a band with no instruments.<\/li>\n<li>I can tell the photographer was either close to the stage or had an excellent zoom lens, but I would have liked to see more mid-range or wide-angle shots. (As a nature photographer, I\u2019m normally all in for tight shots, but with people I want to get a sense of story that\u2019s better told with a mix of all three distances.) They do so a bit (once they showed most of the stage and part of the monitors and lights above it; I just would like to have seen more.)<\/li>\n<li>Captions on all of the slides mentioning singer Mitch Grassi misspelled his name as Mitch Grass. This is bad, because the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsaworld.com\/scene\/music\/pentatonix-graduates-to-bok-center-as-career-grows\/article_90f6b240-e0c1-5759-a11e-8ebe7a9f843d.html\">story<\/a> linked to the photo package spelled it correctly. Miscommunication between journalist and photojournalist, and a bad error not caught by the editor.<\/li>\n<li>The phrase <i>a cappella<\/i> should have been italicized since it is Latin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Package Link: \u201cPhoto Gallery: Pentatonix Plays at Tulsa\u2019s BOK Center\u201d by Tulsa World, a newspaper based in Tulsa, Oklahoma Why I Chose It: I love Pentatonix, the hottest group in a cappella music today.
