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.

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)

5. Viewpoint

 6. Background



 7. Create depth




(this may not be a good depth photo, but this is the best i could get.)


8. Framing





9. Cropping





10. Mergers and avoiding them




 










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.)
