Extra Credit

1.) The man was pushed into the subway tracks, and the photographer got the  photo by pulling out his camera in the final moment of the man on the tracks and snap a photo.

2.) He wanted to capture the last and final moments of his life

3.) Yes I do think that the photographer should have taken the photo

4.) I think that he did do the best he could because he did not know what was going to happen there and he at least got a decent photo.  

5.) I agree to run this on the front page so that they could find the person who had pushed the person into the subway track.

6.) I think that it is more important to save peoples life because there are worth more that just a photo.

7.) I think it is not ethical to involve himself into the photo because it would cause the risk of his life.

8.) No because then there would be no newspaper and it can't tell the people of the world what is happening around the world or in there area.

9.) The most appropriate is that response is that he should have saved his life instead of taking a photo.

Lytro Warm-Up & Ethnics in Fashion Photography

When i clicked the photo it zoomed in that part and it cleared up the blurry stuff.
It works by taking a photo and if there is a blur then you can go take the photo and then go back and then focus on the part that you want to.
The photographer would have to know how to get multiple objects in the photo and let it work.
I think that if you were a person who likes to take photos a lot then yes it is.

The changes that were made to the model was that the acne that was there ad been erased and her hair had gotten more like wavy.
I think that it is all up to the person who is in the photo because if they like it then they should keep it that way.
No
I think that changes that are not ok are changes that offend the person in the photo.
Fashion photography is different from photo journalism because fashion is about looks and photo journalism is about getting the right rules included.
The relationship from photography with the real world is that it uses stuff from the real world.

Self Portrait & Portraits Part II

1.) Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act.
2.) Use props!
3.) A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait.

I liked this photo because I liked how the only bright colors are the person in the wheel chair and the basketball. The reason that I chose this photo is because it caught my eye how everything around the person and the basketball are dead.


I chose this photo because I liked how if you look at the photo in a certain it looks like the persons head is coming out of the plate. I chose this photo the reason being that it look sort of weird in how he plate cuts off the rest of his body and he is staring at it directly.

I liked this photo because when all people go to a place where they take photos there is always a certain way that people have to be posing. I chose this photo for the reason that all fancy casual photos are taken this way.

I liked this photo because there is a background and you can see that it fits with the self portrait. The reason I chose this photo this photo is because it show one of the rules of photography which is simplicity. 

         My plans for the portrait is that I will be taking a portrait of Dan, and I will shoot him falling down the stairs. What I will do to make this shot successful is that I will probably do my best and get the right angle.

American Soldier Slide Show & Captions

The most powerful image in this slideshow is the one where Ian is at the table and he is holding a cigarette in one hand and there is and energy drink is on the table.

Set #1: Image# 1 - Image # 9
Set #2: Image# 10 - Image # 23
Set #3: Image# 24 - Image# 30
Set #4: Image# 31 - Image# 48

  • The Set of Images that was powerful was set # 4 because it show how tough it is now for Ian with doing dugs.
  • The Images work together to make a story by all of the slides going in a sort of a way that Ian leaves then comes back and then goes through a phase in his life the goes back to working in the army.
  • The tense that is begin used is the present tense.
  • It enhances the photographs by telling what is happening and making the person look at the photo feel what he is.

Frankie goes to the store as he gets out of his car to go buy some grocery supplies on November 1, 2012 at H-E-B.

These other features enhance the photographs by letter the people who see the photo get a deeper feeling for the photo.

In some ways videos are better than photos because you can the full experience by hearing the actual person telling the story.

In some ways photos are better than videos because you can just take one look at the photo and you could make up a caption about it.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO- How Do They All Work?


We should relate the aperture to the camera's body.

larger, smaller

It affects depth of field because it can make a difference in whether or not the image will come out sharp in the background or blurry.

High Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

The advantage for take a photo at a higher ISO at sporting events is because there are going to be a lot of light so you an just take the photo where there i not enough light. The Author suggested that you should keep your camera on la low ISO when there is a lot of light. The author suggested to use high ISO when there is not a lot of light. 

F2.8_ 1/125th
F4_ 1/250
F5.6_ 1/60
F8_ 1/60
F11_ 1/60

Abandoned Theme Park

I think I could take good photo with my camera at the amusement park called  Nara Dream Land, Nara, Japan. I chose this theme park because I think that there are really good places I could take photos from.  Another reason that i chose this theme park is because it looks like there was a lot of hope, but now it was all gone. Lastly I chose this because there seems to be places i could go to take unusual photos.
  


1. desert
2. sewer
3. the ring of fire
4. high in the sky
5. under water

Great Black & White Photographers Part 3

Something that caught my eyes while looking through his photos were that the way he took one of his photos.

I see the people taking all there belongings and walking towards the horizon, running from what is inevitable. There faces with sadness and despair as they all take one look back as I am still there all alone waiting for the plague to pass.

I smell  the fear of all that run from what cannot be ran from. I smell the darkness that will come for them and there families. What I smell cannot be good

I hear the winds brushing against the plains of grass. I hear the screams of  the towns people that ran from the plague.

I taste the dryness of a desert in my mouth  There was nothing to eat and drink for ages, yet  I am still alive. I taste the sip of revenge for all that left me.

I feel the sadness of all that left. I also feel the anger and chaos that had happened during the crisis. I feel what most people can't because there is always someone there for them. I feel alone.

I would like to create a power point because I think that i could do pretty good with all the designing stuff.

Academic Shoot Reflection

Something that i encounter while i was out taking photo was that i didn't know how to take the photo.

Something that i had been thinking about the most while taking photos were how to take a photo of framing. One example that was when i was in the room where they cook food was how to take a photo where it fames a person.

I would take the photos more faster since i now know how to plan my time and i would think about how to take the photo first.

I would take some of the rules the same, and go to the same rooms.

I think the easiest rule to active would be lines, simplicity, and balance.

I think the hardest to capture would be avoiding merges because we would have to avoid merges.

I am clear on all the rules.


Academic Shoot-Post Your Photo

This picture is an example of simplicity because it focus on one person. I followed this rule pretty good because I focused my photo on one subject.
 This picture is an example of balance because each side of both girls are equal. I followed this rule well because there is one girl on each side and it makes the picture balanced.
This picture is an example of framing because the student in the middle is framed out y the body parts of the other students. I think that I did well in this photo because you can see how thel other students frame the student in the middle.

 This picture is an example of lines because it shows lines between the pieces of bacon. I did really good in this photo because you can see the line and part of the student.
 This picture is an example of rule of thirds. If you draw the lines you will see that the students on the intersection. I think this is good because you can see where this students is going instead of just see the person.
This picture is an example of avoiding merges because you can see how the person in the lower right had corner is getting cut off. I followed this rule better that i thought because i see how the other persons body is cut off to merge.

Post Shoot Reflection

1.) Some challenges that i encountered were that i could not find enough happy objects or people.
Another problem was that i could not take good pictures.
2.) I frustrated with getting good photos because i could seem to get to know what a good angel looks like.When i was taking a picture of a car i didn't know how o angle it.
3.) I would git better angels of my photos and i would think before i took the photos.
4.) I would look for objects that stood out to me.
5.) The composition rules for red, metal, and happy is that the red was simplicity, the metal was lines, because the lines were diagonal and they stood out. Finally the happy was balance because there had to be enough room on each side of the photo.
6.) Yes i would be interested in taking this prompt again.

Composition 9/11 Discusion


In the photo above you see that the fire man stands out rather than the other objects in the photo. This is an example of simplicity.


The photo above shows an example of the rule of thirds. I chose this photo because if you imagine the lines that go up and down and across the screen the explosion is in the intersection lines.


I chose this photo because it was a good example balance. The reason I chose this photo is because there is a nice balance on each side of the photo. Both of buildings are almost the same height.


In this photo if you start from the top, and make your way to the bottom, you will see that the diagonal lines are leading to the man that jumped off the building. Those lines give it a excited feeling.



In this photo you can see a group of people, and this is an example of frame. The group of people are framed by the newspaper and the window sill.


This photo is an example of avoiding merges. The people on the machine would be spraying water into nothing of the background wasn't there. This shows that the background is taking up oct of this photo.
