Mohammed Ali vs Sonny Liston: Top 100 Photos

Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston4. Image result for neil leifer
1. I chose this photo because so much emotion is being shown and it almost gives me chills because of what is happening. What caught my eye is how Mohammed Ali reacted when he defeated Sonny Liston.

2. What I read was mainly about how Mohammed Ali snatched the title from Sonny Liston and the environment of the anticipated match-up. The photographer, Neil Leifer, captured this moment in 1965 and the description explained the perfect times he could've shot the photos. One moment when it was one minute into the fight, Ali went for a punch aiming for his chin and had Liston on the ground. That was the main photo Leifer had captured.

3. Information I have gathered is mostly about the anticipated fight against the two rivals. This boxing fight was for the World Heavyweight Championship. This fight was one of the most controversial and most watched sporting event in sport's history. The first fight was in February of 1964 in Miami, Florida where Mohammed Ali won the match when Liston gave up in the 6th round. The second match-up was in May of 1965 where Ali won with a first round knockout.

5. The photographer's name is Neil Leifer and he is an American sports-photographer who captures the most watched sporting events. He was born on December 28, 1942 in New York City. He has created a documentary about sports photography called, Dark Light: The Art of Blind Photographers which got him a Sports Emmy nomination for Outstanding Sports Documentary. No college or school was declared in his biography.

Sports Warm Up

1. This is apart of a winning sports portfolio because the ritual football or any outdoor sports team do after they win a big game is the players usually pour Gatorade or water on their head coach. 2. The shutter speed is low because it won't capture the stop motion of the water. 3. This is a key moment because it is tradition for football teams to do this to their coach. This could have been planned but it happens so abruptly that the photographer will have to find the head coach after they win a game to capture the moment. 4. Some techniques that are present are balance because there are people on both sides of the photo. Advanced camera settings are also used because the water is hitting the coach just right so the shutter speed has to be correct.

Car Raid Review

1. I think I will do my car raid with my older cousin. 2. I will try to do this car raid this weekend because I will see her. 3. - What is your most important possession in your car? - How often are you in your car? - How often do you keep your car clean? - Is there one object you never let leave their car? 4. I would write down specific objects I find in the car, smells, if its clean, and what they think is important.
