Exercise: practise writing captions

This exercise asked us to look at captioning used by various publications and then add captions to our own photos.

In the last exercise, I commented on the captioning used by some publications. National Geographic used long captions, sometimes in italics. All the online publications I looked at, The Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, Guardian and New York Times used captions with a short version of the story and places the images at the top. In some cases, photographer information was included in the caption.
