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.
