1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? it popped up and there was a slide show at the top
2. How does this new camera work? you can re-focus the picture after you take it
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) nothing really, you can just take a quick picture and fix it after you take the picture
4. Is it worth the money? yes

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)

her head was brought more up, and they edited her cheeks and hair
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
not for bad, but i think it's okay to do it for a commercial or poster.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? yes, some people could edit very important pictures and make people mad.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
like rinkles or other things that make people look bad (okay) the entire face or object to be totaly different (bad)
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion photography, they get people and edit theyre picture, photojournalism, they have to take a good picture with the rules of photography without editing. 
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?   they all have to do with society, from modeling to marine biology to photojournalism.

my 3 favorite tips

• A self-portrait doesn't have to be of your face
• Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.

• Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait.

 i liked this one because the nature and mountains caught my eye.

i chose this one because the background is so amazing.

 i chose this one because i love the reflection, that it's upside-down.

i like this one because it looks like the kid is taking a picture of himself in a camera thing.

 i chose this one because i love babies, and seeing pictures of them.

i chose this one because the man is expressing what he likes, (basketball, tattoo's)

who will you shoot- i want to shout my baby brothers(Michael and Travis).

 where will you shoot-i will shout them in my front yard.

and what will you do to make the shot successful.- i will try to use the rules of photography. (probably simplicity, because there will be grass and sky, or rules of thirds.)

i think this was the most powerful picture because they all look so proud of what they do. and because the photographer made it look so good. he did simplicity because of the simple background.

i think that the section from picture 1-49 (denver) is the most effective because it shows him saying bye to all his friends and family, that's powerful to me.

the pictures work together in telling a story by showing the order of events in chronological order.

in the pictures where ian is the most important thing it tells us in present tence.

the captions enhance the photos by telling us what's going on in the picture.

caption- the soldiers are taking a photo of them selves in uniform for the postal the military base on there free time.

the way videos are better than photographs is that the videos join depth way more, and more detail.

like when the picture of ian signing up for the military the video told us him thinking about it and the story behind instead of just the picture.

photos are better than videos in a way because they catch people in the moment.

taken at aperture setting F2.8

taken at aperture setting F16


The widest aperture here is f1.4, the smallest is f22. The difference between each aperture is known as a stop, and either halves or doubles the amount of light allowed to reach the film. The widest aperture available on any lens is known as the speed of the lens; it is a useful feature of a lens to have a relatively wide maximum aperture as then the camera is more versatile in lower light conditions.
Selecting a wide aperture, ie. f4 and wider, will restrict the depth of field so the photographer must choose which part of the image to focus on.

The aperture is essentially a variable hole that's located inside the lens of your camera. This "hole" is formed by a series of overlapping blades. On an SLR or DSLR you can adjust the aperture using the dials and on compact digital cameras the aperture controls are often found hidden in your menu depending on the camera.

Living in Berlin demands that you actively seek out its hidden haunts and break barriers. The city’s penchant for blending the bizarre with the ordinary makes it the perfect place for curiosity-seekers and non-conformists. Concealed within the lush greenery of the Treptow Park and barred by a rusty iron fence is the abandoned Spreepark (www.spreepark.de). This former GDR amusement center, which opened in 1969 and was best known as ‘Cultural Park Plenterwald,’ carries with it ghostly images of a bygone era.

this amusement park would be fun and good to document and take pictures because there are so many sites and different things to look at and take pictures. for example there are a lot of fallen down animals and rusty old rides.

 

it would take a lot to go to this park. first of all it's in Germany, so i cant just go whenever. it would take alot of money.
