Extra Credit

1. The man got pushed by a unidentified assailant onto the train tracks, the photographer didn't know what to do so he pulled out his camera to capture the last moments of the Han, the man who was pushed.

2. He used his flash to alert the train driver that something was wrong.

3. Yes.

4. He did but he could've done something else. Using the flash to warn the train driver was a way to help but I think he could've yelled for help or try to bring the man up from the tracks but that would of probably put the photographer in danger as well.

5. Yes, because it was news.

6. Capturing pictures of life as it happens but in a way they do help on stopping bad things from happening.

7. Yes, because for example in that situation the photographer could've helped the man.

8. Well, I think they can help but then again photographing events that happen in life are their jobs.

9. Some said that the photographer should've helped out but other say that he did good in shooting the photograph.

Final Review

Two elephants reach out for each other at the fair. This fair is held annually in eastern India, the state of Bihar.

A hunter walks through the white, cold snow. He looked for dear since it deer hunting season near South Mountain, Penn.

 

 

 

1. Rule of Thirds: Imaginary lines going through the picture.
2. Balancing Elements: Focusing on your main subject.
3. Leading Lines: Lines on a picture that we see, they enhance the picture but sometimes the way you place them can affect the way you see them.
4. Symmetry and Patterns: You see patterns in the picture.
5. Viewpoint: A picture that is shot from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a long way away, from very close up, and so on.
6. Background: Taking a picture at a plain spot so the background will focus on the main subject.
7. Create Depth: A picture that includes objects in the foreground, middle ground, and background.

Lytro Warm-Up and Ethics in Fashion photography

 Lytro Warm-Up

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
I saw that the picture is focused on one thing and most of the rest of the picture is a little blurred out but when you click one the blurred part it focuses and the rest of the picture blurs out.

2. How does this new camera work?
When you click on one thing the rest blurs out.

3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)
The main thing he/she wants to capture.

4. Is it worth the money?
In my opinion, yes.

Fashion

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
  Her eyes, face marks, her neck etc.

  2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?

I think it is not because they should show who she really is and not make her something she's not.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

People who see these pictures sometimes it could make them feel insecure.

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

Maybe removing some face marks can be okay but not changing her whole face and everything.

  5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

Fashion photography, they edit everything and make it look perfect.

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

 Photography changes reality sometimes because it makes it look better and perfect.

 

Self Portrait and Portraits Part 2

Tips:
1 - If you’re taking photos in a studio, use a mannequin for light testing: Much easier than guesstimating!
2 - You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in.
3 - - Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Environmental Portrait 

I liked how in the background there are pumpkins and grass but its blurred out so that the focus is on the little boy.

I liked that the background on this picture is also blurred out and focusing on the little girl.

Photography Self Portrait

i liked this picture because he used a mirror and I really like how mirror pictures look, the black and white color I liked as well.

 

 

I really liked this Self Portrait because of the way her hair covers one of her eyes and focuses on the other eye, I also liked how the black and white looked on this picture.

 Casual Portrait

I liked this picture because her face is the focus and her expression looks very casual.

I picked this picture because it is very casual in my opinion, both background and the subject which is the couple.

For my Portrait assignment i would probably take a mirror picture of myself or a black and white, face close up picture. Those are my favorite ways of a Self portrait being taken. I would take the mirror one in my room where I would have a great background because of my decorated walls in my opinion it would make a good picture. I would blur the background a little so the focus would be on me though. If not then I would try to take a self portrait something like the black and white one of the girl that I chose in my pictures above. 

American Solider slideshow and captions (review)

A. The strongest picture in my opinion is #52 because it blurs out everything and focuses on the cross.

B.
Set #1. At home in Denver: #1 - #7
Set #2. At basic training: #8 - #22
Set #3. In Iraq: #23 - #70
Set #4. Back in Denver: #71 - #83

I think Set #3 had the most powerful pictures because it shows how life in Iraq was for Ian.

c. They form like a timeline, showing what happened first from the days he was training to the days he was in war and lastly when he gets home to his family in Denver.

3.
a. They are written in past tense.

b. They tell you a little more of what is happening in the picture and give more details.

4.

Image #48

a. They make them look better.

ISO

ISO 3200

ISO 200

1. A higher ISO at a night football game would be better than a basketball game because at the football game it is dark.

2. Using a low ISO makes the picture more clear.

3. Using a higher ISO makes the picture "noisy" and if you take a picture in the dark, it will add light without the use of flash.

Funny Captions

This is confusing me. Are they moving or not? This will get you like it got me.

Louie chilling outside wearing his new clothes I purchased. He was exited he even posed for the picture.

He is loving it! The kitten decided to take the first lick of John's ice cream.
