fashion photography ethics

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

they made her eyes bigger her neck longer her hair longer and basically changed everything about her
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?

no because you wouldn't be able to know how she looked other then that and some girls crave to look like that when she does not even look like that
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

no
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

i think all changes are not ok because you should be happy with who you are and not what you look like
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

photojournalism is skilled photographers and fashion photography is just taking a picture and changing it on the computer
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

i think it makes it a little more reality in ways but also fake in ways and it changes them by how people look and feel about themselves.

self portraits and portraits part 2

2 - Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

3 - If you’ve got a remote trigger, that’s usually a better and more controllable than trying to use the self-time.

Environmental portrait 

i like this one because he is a good old american country guy with his acoustic guitar.

this guy enjoys music because look at all his guitars who owns that many and does not like music.

photography self portrait

i liked this one because he is so creepy and looks like he keeps a lot of secrets.

i like this one because its almost like she is a royal flush of diamonds.

casual portrait

i like this one because he is a gamer and I'm a gamer so i can relate to what he is doing.

i like this one because I'm more of a night person i don't like the day to much the night i really like and i feel like i come alive at night.

i have no clue who I'm going to shoot for my project. ill probably shoot where ever they are or where ever we can meet. i plan on taking casual portraits and some other ones.

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed

aperture priority, shutter priority and manual

       

aperture

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

the lens lets more light travel into the camera body

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture the less light that enters, the higher the Aperture the more light that enters.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

it makes the background blurry so you force on the item in the foreground more then the back ground.

theme and strange locations

1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.

The Prehistoric Forest, Irish Hills, Michigan because it was like Jurassic park and i really like the looks of the dinosaurs and rides from those theme parks

2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.

3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.

desert's, forests, abandon warehouses, abandon schools, swears 

4. Use google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.

5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.

I think it would be fun to document this location because its a little creepy and you can do all he rules in this place. i personally like abandon warehouses because its nice a quite and kinda peaceful and it lets u get away from the outside world and be alone.

6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot.

i would have to find a abandon warehouse and make sure I'm not intruding on someones land and i would need all the equipment because i don't really have any good cameras at home.

funny captions

 this was what my friends dad said his first car was going to be and my friend flipped out. if u drive this car you might love cats too much.

 I read a story about a guy having his laptop over his bathtub and i did not understand why he couldn't just wait till he got out of the tub. he couldn't way to check his Facebook or his texts so this is what he thought of.

this was next door to me one christmas and i was laughing so hard because it reminded me of carry the lady the cable guys comedy shows. You might be a redneck if... u use barrels for a christmas tree.

ag-her rules, 40 most powerful photos, filling the frame

academic shoot reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? 

It was kinda awkward to walk into a class where you most likely know no one and take pictures of random people.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.

merger because i didn't know where i would get a merger.
3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

I would try to get the rules better then i did in my pictures but i would not change to much.
4. What things would you do the same?

a lot because other then making them look a little better i got all the rules and i think you can pretty much see all of them in the pictures i took.
5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?

i think simplicity will be the easiest to achieve.
6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

merger or rule of thirds will be the hardest to capture.

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?

the rule of thirds I'm starting to get it down but its still a little strange and i can figure it out by looking it up and reading on it.

academic photos

africa

I really liked the power point because it was basically completely about animals and i like animals when they are in their in there own environment.

The picture is of a lion crawling through the grass and i chose it because lions r every majestic beasts. The lion is one of three of my all time favorite animals my other two are tigers and wolfs. i have a picture in my room of a lion that my grandma got a long time ago and has been passed down like three generations in my family.

What kind of camera did he use?

He used a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lens and without a telephoto or zoom lenses

What is his reason for taking the photo?

while he was shooting a music video for michael jackson he discovered his love for the east africa animals

What is his hope by taking these types of photos?

                                            

He takes these photos hopping that people will care more about animals and think of them as equals instead of something we can rule over. he also believes that they have as much of a right as we do to live on this earth and are world is under a threat of having the wildlife destroyed because of us. i believe him that the world is being destroyed because of us.                    

                           

Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog     

"You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."

The photo is of a guy looking out over the crowd with the lights on him while he is on stage accepting his diploma and that is what I'm going to be doing next year.

2. What rules of photography are evident in the photo?

simplicity because the background is black other then the lights but it is mostly focused on him

2. Whose classroom would you like to visit and take photos in?

I have no clue who's class room i would like to visit and take photos in
