About the pic.~

The subjects name is Henry. He's doing work from the book, a little bit of history. He's doing this to get a good grade, this was done on January 14th, 2009.

Number 6.~

It works by messing with our views how we view things, see things, working on our reality. It challenges our morlas since that's not how she really looks?

Number5.~

Honestly I don't think there is a difference in fashion photography and photojournalism.

Number 4.~

I do believe any form of drastic change is bad. However it's technically good if no one can tell you changed it. It doesn't matter if you can get away with it? But I think maybe.. Facial changes for like model's, or something to that affect are okay.

Number 3.~

Yes. Let's say you were making a photo for the newspaper. This is an example infrnedgement[spelling?]. It's a crime, a federal crime. It can and will get you jail duty.

Number 2.~

No. It's wrong wise but it helps us view what in our eye's or what we percieve as 'beautiful', though may in reality not be that, it's what we're forced to see.

Number 1.~

The model's face had been tucked. They got rid of her dimpels, her eye's were shallowed, her eye lid's raised, all. They changed her look more, her neck get's longer, her eye's bigger. They drasticcly change her hair, darkening it, styling it.

Most unethical







This set looks easily changed. it's funny on how easily noticably it is. It's easy, very to tell.

Least unethical


It isn't changed much, it doesn't even look messed with.

Unethical photo's~

A. Someone had mainipulated the photos to make the phto taken by Menahem Kahana. They used Adobe Photoshop or some type of softwear similar to that to copy over the aready taking phto. Now not only was this done on the first day of April, U.S. April Fool's Day. Kahana’s image appeared in Yated Neeman, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspaper in which someone tampered with these photo's, this being a terminal offense in the U.S.

B. It's unethical due to the fact that the phto isn't original. It is tampered with so it's not ethical, it's fake.

Third picture~


This picture I believe uses Balance. Honestly how, no idea.

Second picture~

This picture uses Lines as it's coposition. The lines lead you through this pic.

First picture


This picture uses simplicity as it's composition.

Negative presentation and thoughts~

1.I honestly think half my photos came out horrible... If not all. Er. They look terrible to be honest.
2. Half of them. Due to lighting, bad composition. Many reasons, these pictures came out terrible due to low lighting mostly. The composition was more like poor chocie of trying for rule of thirds, cropping, etc.
3.I believe on my second row of pictures, the second. It has great light, not too dark. It looks well, I hope it'll come out good I'm hoping.
4. Exposure! My photo was exposed to just the right amount of light, wasn't left out too long, it came out very well.
5. I believe it'd be background. I tried for a simple background in it.

C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.

With pictures you build your own image of things in your own way. No onespeaks, you can sit and read things deeper then what a video tells you.

B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.

Videos give like words straight from the person. It flows and is simple to follow then just plain picture. Go to the "reporting for duty" video set.

A. How do these other features enhance the photographs?

It has him speaking, describing the picture so it enhances the picture by him actually describing them as he stood there explaining each moment, each like chapter.

Look at "Basic Training" photo 18

Ian is in the midst of training, smoke bombs a blur. Fire arms in hand, just as real battle he prepears for it, trying his hardest to do well and get good marks since on the feild.. He does't get a second chance!

Look in the "In the army" photo 11

Ian is waiting on someone, most liking a higher up in which needs to speak to. "I want to go home, I don't want to do this." He has these kinds of expressions on his face as he sits there.

Look at Sign up at photo 28.

Ian joins the army and his mother or relative is overwelmed with join at this.

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?

They give the story, one that we cannot probably just from viewing the picture, they tell us what's happening in it.

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?

Most if not all pictures with Ian as the main subject are stated as if it's happening right now. Like as if right now while I type this even.

c. How do the images work together to tell a story?

Each image tells it's own story. Rather it being doing with how hard someone's trying, blood and sweat to get throughhard ship or dealing with relationship issues. Each gives it's own impressing story.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?

The strongest photos senquence was durring the army blues. Showing the soldiers with their girlfriends. It shows how much they care and am glad to be alive with them, rather it was breaking up or enjoying the moments.

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?

It was in the Basic training area due to the fact it showed the smoke bombs in the background, showing how hard the training had to be.

Marlboro Marine audio slideshow

He had to have a lot of skill to be able to arrange these photo's in this way. Applying sound at the right time, now some were off it over all the ability to be able to do this is simply amazing. The songs and pictures showed sadness, hard feelings, they displayed how he felt durring these times. They didn't show any happiness nor did he trully speak of any. The most powerful picture to me, is the one with his girlfriends or finacee where they're on the bed hugging with her ontop. It showed them happy and together, it showed good feeling. The strongest sequence of photo's would be the one's where he was standing at the window and his girlfriend, talking about how he had to get through things.. Without her. He sounded so sad durring these, the music even added to it, sounding with the soft piano gave the sad feel to it. They scrolled through, explaining how after the war his life was falling aparrt, dealing with what had happened was too much and he just can't take it.

First time shotting with a camera?

If I got close people gave me weird looks, talked about me funny, I couldn't stand it and wanted to et out of the classroom. I disliked it but I did my best to ignore them. I thought of thse techniques: Cropping balance and uh.. Background. I tried to get as close as possible yet tried to make sure no one moving was in the background. I tried for rule of thirds and maybe a bit of balance but those were a bit heard in shooting.. Like catching it just right to show enough emphasis in the picture from the left right and center. Do things outside the actual school, or maybe just not in classes..

Funny picture numerro thres'.


Oh look, it's a bum-bmup? It's in some random neighborhood where some guy managed to spell bmup.. Bump wrong! Background is of cars and random road and bmup! Arg..

Funny picture numero dose[dos]~?


This takesplace with a giant circular spikey thing with a top that's spikey, a shuttle? Background is of the bright blue sky, oh look, McDonalds! Mmm.

Funny pic numero uno.


This picture is in some random car in some random random parkinglot! Owned, right? It happpened because someone wanted some new chairs perhaps? Tires work.
It took place in some like parkinglot surrounded by big white buildings,names.. A no!

How to Develop A Roll of Black-and-White Film

This is explaining how to create Black-and-White film.
To begin this step you must put the film onto a reel, easy and straight forward, right? The tools in this include: Film cassette, can opener, film reel, tank and tank cover. Be sure to memorize the place of the tools. Must be done in the dark/blind.

Alright now step 1--To start it's best bring the film from inside the cassette and grab from the flat end. The container35mm[millimeters]. Finaly peel off the end from the film from the spool by peeling off the tape that connects it.

step 2--The start is by loading the film onto a metal or plastic film reel. If you're a beginner plastic is easier, once done you put the film into the outer edge then slide it into until it is loaded. Metal requires more skill to do. It's best to practice a few times loading and unloading so you get it down. Do this in the light then once confortable practice with your eye's closed until you get good.

step 3-- To begin this step once you load the film into the tank and cover it since it's now in a light protected by a cover so no light get's through. Now it's processing time! Finaly lay out all the chemicals; [know which is which] a film developer a stop bath, and a fixer with hardener, and a hypo eliminator bath.

step 4--Make sure the temperature of the chemicals is carefully controlled. Development time is directly affected by two things: the speed of the film and the temperature of the developer, 68-70 degrees ish recommended.

step 5--
The symbols in the background is what are being repeated.

I chose this picture since the scenery and everything completely interests me. I love how this shot was taken, showing off the tree and the dog, but also showing the wide view behind it, it all looks so beautiful.

http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1418565568?bctid=44979062001
I like this video explaining. "Where the wild things are"I found this interesting akwardly seeing as it's a kids tale I heard when I was younger to put me to sleep.

1.) f/2.8 fisheye
2.) Shot at 1/1600
3.) To illustrate that sense in the picture as the #20 car was in the turn.
4.) f/2.8
5.) It made a picture that highlighted the car, yet showed the dramatic sky at sunset.
6.) He was standing probably right on the stands, seems to be after the first turn.
1.) Focal length of lens -
2.) Shutter Speed -
3.) What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed?
4.) Aperture-
5.) What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture?
6.) Position - Describe where you think the photographer was standing to get this shot.

Most interesting stuff~


This is filled with what I find interesting. I believe how he's creating the sparks is cool, I always find views like this pretty good. The fact on seeing if maybe like the sparks are flowing in slow motion ish pretty cool, well that's what it say's to me.

Action and Emotion~


This one gives strong emotion. Strong belifs as a chior[spelling?] always has strong belief and emotion behind how hard they sing. Their action ish what their singing. Which as the group, I bet a beautiful song?

The Story~


The story it gives me would be of like.. One of those movie senes where the student works hard to bring his/herself from a terrible year, striving for the best to be number one. Determination and always trying. He seems tired, like he's been up late, maybe like a headache as he's thinking to much as if he's trying so hard to get this perfect grade? He seems to be trying hard for this drawing?

Digital Imaging Contest

The lighting of this picture ish bright, he made sure when taking this that he was under a lot of lighting. This image was exposed to lots of light.

I find this picture inspiring since it's an awesome picture! It had to take some technique that this person[Baylor Johnson] had used. It's amazing, it looks great! Seeing someone take a picture in like the same close grade as me, it is real inspiring!

What would I like to create?

Well... To me, I think I should create a poster, maybe a power point. I want the world to see the vast pictures this man took. How he shows you the view of the beliefs of some of the poor, the great senery he views for you, the amazing feel you get from seeing these pictures. He wants to show the world, not only his talent but the societies downfall and how much we should join in to help out the less fortunate..

Balancing Elements~


Why I choose my black photographer~ Sebastião Salgado

He seemed religous, something about that just caught my eye. I like how he has pictures of mostly the poor portraying that the poor work more on religoin then rich. He also show's the true nature of certain areas, the mostly towns that are run down so he shows how much the society needs help.

Touching moment.~


This moment is sweet and nice, a great feel to it. They look so happy.
This picture uses The Rule of the Third. I like how I can soly put my view on the cute dog on the left, then if I want the mere center showing the kiss of the couple most likely. Then finally where it has the happy male in the far right.

Big Ocean view?


The island is enclosed by the large ocean.
I choose this picture since the ocean creates a great frame of the island. It encloses it, much like a normal picture frame. It's a bit beautiful in a small sense.

Giant building~


This picture uses the value of lines.
As well as the value of balannce in showing so many shapes forming, just from the person to the actul square shaping of the pictures in this building.
I choose this pic due to me liking the value used of the lining. It makes me feel so small looking up at it, just as the skater does when he's looking up at it.

My creepy tree~


The ngative has more darkened areas then the positive.
1.Negative: Photography. noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.
My negative looks different due to the values being darkened. The lighter areas are now darker.
In the back of the picture the school looks distorded due to the light rays 'bending' away from the normal.

Sebastião Salgado


I smell~
A soft moist smell. A probably hm.. A moist smell describes it. As it seems like aship, oh maybe a fume type smell as there's most likely smoke in this old type country town.
I hear~
The wind blowing, ocean moving. People walking in tgus smalltown, or on the doc. I can hear the ocean as it waves with the boat. Probably a bird of few through the sky.
I see~
I see a small town, like a ocean with it. I also view a nice senic view of a mountai out in the background. The ocean waving with the large ship swaying in it's weak wake.
I taste~
I'd probably while taking this photo would taste a funny... Hm.. Like a moist taste, maybe like a watery taste? Due to the ocean soon, it's leave a funny moist taste in my mouth?
I feel~
I feel small, like. "Whao.. What a view.." The look of tyhis from his standing point is just incredible, I get to view the entire village/town from that view. It's exciting to view from sohigh up. Like, a happy tingling feel.

Sebastião Salgado


I smell~
I'ds smell most likely a musty smell. Maybe like from being out in the sun as they seem to be outside. A burning dirt type smell as it seems out in the country.
I hear~
I hear people conversing. People speaking of their believes, their ideals, what they believe to be true. I hear the wind, careless as it seems so light.
I taste~
I taste a musty bleh taste. It's be from breathing in the wind as this seems out in the country. I taste a nasty taste from how this looks, or maybe a nasty taste as in emotional.
I see~
I see people standing tall while holding onto their beliefs. I see them holding onto the picture of a religous type drawing. I seetwo unhappy men in the picture, they seem sad, very depressed..

I feel~
I feel a bad sympathetic... Like, could they be in that type of condiiton? They seem so sad, I feel so resentful, it just makes me feel so sad to see two men so sad while holding something religous like that..

Background

I like his pose. It's rebelious, he's like. "I know I'll die, I know once this is over, I'll cease to exsist.." Yet, he's in a casual, normal style, as if he doesn't care and is embracing it.. I guess his last thought was probably that of.. "Freedom.."

Falling guy..?

My reaction to this was like wow.. He knows once he hits the ground it's game over. He know's that the second he touches the ground/sement it's 'spalt' but... Look, he's calm, no care in the worl. My reaction is just so shocking.. Knowing he'll die yet.. He's calm as if nothing around him matters, he seems happy. Really happy.

Lines

The lines leading down from the explotion while now at the same time they lead to it. It shows that the eye follows them, drawing the attention to the explotion then beyond to the breaking/cracking glass that fall.

Rule of the third

You see three areas. The far left in which shows the shadowy water and the bridge in which draws the eye, while you have the center in which shows the buildings on fire and burning as well as the boat rushing through the clear open sea. Finally you have the far left, the final area, that shows the clear sea, the horizon and closing of the buildings. This is known of being the Rule of the Third.

Simplicity

The meer simplicity of this picture. The big explotion in which draws the eye towards it as seeing it interesting. Simple yet interesting.

Balance

Notice the shapes in this photo, the round circular pants, the squear framing from the railing, the doors, and even the window. It's adding the balance to the picture in which drawss the eye closer to it.

Avoiding merging


The fact that the people as well as the background are far enough to be clearly shown of no merging?

Framing


The walking people covered in smoke add a good foreground.

Single Lens reflex camer


I had to find a picture of it.
Here's it's definition: In the single-lens reflex camera the photographer see the scene through the camera lens. This avoids the problems of parallax which occurs when the viewfinder or viewing lens is separated from the taking lens. Single-lens reflex cameras have been made in several formats including 220/120 taking 8, 12 or 16 photographs on a 120 roll and twice that number of a 220 film. These correspond to 6x9, 6x6 and 6x4.5 respectively (all dimensions in cm). Notable manufacturers of large format SLR include Hasselblad, Mamiya, Bronica and Pentax. However the most common format of SLRs has been 35 mm and subsequently the migration to digital SLRs, using almost identical sized bodies and sometimes using the same lens systems.
Almost all SLR used a front surfaced mirror in the optical path to direct the light from the lens via a viewing screen and pentaprism to the eyepiece. At the time of exposure the mirror flipped up out of the light path before the shutter opened. Some early cameras experimented other methods of providing through the lens viewing including the use of a semi transparent pellicle as in the Canon Pellix and others with a small periscope such as in the Corfield Periflex series.
