Fashion Ethics

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face.

Eye Adjustments, Shoulder Adjustments, Facial Construction

2. In your opinion, explain if you think it is ethically ok to change a person's appearance like this in a photo.

Well its not ok because who wants to look like something there not but only in a picture that doesn't give the truth and only making the company look good.

3. Under what circumstances is it worse than others?

Manipulating complete photo

4. What types of changes are ok, and what aren't?

None (make-up only)

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. What relationship does each have to reality, and how does this affect the ethics of each.

Fashion photography is much more flexible with ethics to create absolute beauty, however photojournalism is strict do to showing only the truth and nothing less. But both are related in ways that the person or thing is still present in the final product, ethnics is affect because reality is manipulated.

Photojournalism Ethics

1. Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? Why?

Situational, because there are some flaws in some pictures such as scratches and spots and there the only thing holding it back from a successful and great shot so why not edit the flaws and keep the final product and still be called the truth.

2. Can a photo really capture truth? Why or why not?

Well in my opinion sometimes because lighting may not be the way you would like it so i think that will be the only thing that is keeping the picture from the entire truth.

3. What decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? Explain.

Reality must never be changed and must always give the truth that a photograph should always show. Edit must be kept to a minimal amount.

4. Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards?

so there will not be anymore or less conflicts toward the people who care and side with absolute ethics.

Photo Manipulation

1. (Story)The Wisconsin University photo manipulation was a huge mistake! without permission of putting another student in the front cover was foolish and not only against the student but to the University as well. Photo manipulation is breaking rules in a very bad manner, therefore the editing was unexceptable and created a racial conflict as well.


2. What i think is the most unethical is the "national geographic cover" only because it is not necessarily faking anything that happened. in almost all the others where fakes on the truth that happened and didn't. But the pyramids where nothing to the extreme, just because they where spread out a little bit and brought closer just to make a better shot. I see nothing wrong in doing that.

"Funny Captions"

Senor Tinklebell here, is being showed off by his owner that loves him very much to his friends on any give time because senor tinklebell is a adorable fluffy fella. However Tinklebell dislikes the attention, as you can see through his reaction. Tinklebells response "Being cute is a tough thing to keep up with!"







A poor asian on one spicy hot day decides to pick up a few coins collecting cans on the streets. I mean, boy if there was scoreboards on who brought the highest amounts, this guy for sure smashed others, 8 huge bags of cans can maybe buy you a nice meal at a mcdonald's.




Dang, this women here had it coming knowing not to get too close to a wild kangaroo in the open. Looking is free but touching is going to cost Ya!

Repetition

COLOR! is mind-blowing, bold, and would grab anyones attention. Not much repetition but once again lines is notice in this picture due to the long blue sheets are being carried by many people .

Simply amazing, and fulfilling "lines" in this picture as is repeats horizontally over water . Very creative and open-minded the photographer is.

This is a great example of repetition, as the seats on the airplane continue until you see them vanish. This picture is amazing in many ways, lines take a big part as well in this shot.

Multimedia Perspective

1. What skills in addition to photography did Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slideshow? Melanie used lots of dedication and time into her slideshow of sugar hill, to make photography as creative and amazing is to show how much you really care about it, if you do, the outcomes are very pleasing.

2. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?
I would have to say the photography plays a huge part because normally in newspaper you would only find one picture per section, as for a slideshow there is many shots to go with the story and making the reader very interested, so meaning is very important in multimedia.

3. What is the most interesting multimedia effect?
I must say the map of the subject that is talked about, because as far as only giving a location in words is certainly not enough information, but a map. A map is the most interesting and helpful effect that multimedia has to offer.

Photoshop Basics (Online Photo)

Online Photo (edited from original shot)

Sports : Bob Rosato

Shutter Speed: 1/1600

Length Of Lens: 15mm f/2.8 fisheye

Type Of Camera: Canon EOS-5D

Shutter Speed? The motion on the cars speeding down the track is frozen and extremely crisp!

Aperture: The aperature has to be large because at dark times in the night requires much more light, so the aperature plays a big part in capturing the cars and depth of the background.

Position (Of Photographer)? I think the photographer has to be around on the side (edge) of the barrier of the track to have a chance to take amazing shots like this one.

9/11 composition shots

Lines:

Good Example:
This is a great example of lines, you have sharp, crisp stripes on the flag that still out! and some lines on the building behind it. Very bold color with the red, blue and white. Making it the main attraction on this shot.

Bad Example:
However my personal opinion I think this shot doesn't fill the frame knowing that it could have been taken at a closer and different angle to make it less boring.

Great Black and White Photographers

Picture by: Jerry Uelsmann

What I like about this picture by jerry is that there is a split on a fist and a womens face, very creative and outstanding angle and shade of light caught in this picture, this picture is overall flawless!

Picture by: Gordon Parks

I like this picture because it is very unique and erry, knowing that there is a person behind a screen of a door, and what makes it a great picture is that the mood and lighting that its taken at fits great with it.

Picture by: Carleton Watkins

Probably one of the most amazing scenary pictures I have seen, just the great view and detail in the mountains, also the one tree thats really tall with little leaves and huge body! . Very amazing! and it catches my eye

Negative Critique

1. There is really no problems with my negatives, the pictures are sharp and clear with the numbers showing.

2. I like numbers 6 and 15 because they came out great on the negatives, the focus on both were great due to the clearness and angle I made on them, I'm pretty sure that there great blown up

Filling The Frame

Even though its not a big close up picture its still a full frame picture because thers is no what so ever boring spots on this image, making the viewer wondering why is this person messing with this objects, overall a outstanding picture!

Action & Motion

This image is AMAZING! The detail on the fire is what makes it the best action of all the pictures. Also the emotions on the friend in the background is great! Overall the right image for the best action/emotion!

The Story

This photo caught my eye because the story behind it is really good. A lonely, responsible girl doing her work, but however there are slackers laughing and talking to each other (which causes the blur, due to there motion). The image is very clear and crisp with amazing lighting!

Pinhole Camera Pictures

I Like this picture a lot because it is very detailed like the branches of the trees, ripples in the water and the sunlight. The black and white is a great choice of the picture also, on my opinon color wouldn't make this picture that great if was so. The picture is not candid and in focus, so its a overall great picture.

Now this photo is very blurry and can hardly make you what is taken in the picture. The detail looks like a big smug across the whole thing and not really eye attracting. It can be made much better if in focus and a different angle.

The Camera

Pinhole Camera - Well a pinhole camera is a homemade/basic camera with a pinpoint made hole, sensitive to light paper, a shutter,black paper and tape . Although it still does take a picture like any other camera does. A pinhole camera is covered inside with all black paper so the black blocks all light possible from leaking through which cause to ruin the picture. Also there is a pinpoint made hole big enough to get the perfect amount of light, so the light shoots in and having your shutter open for about 20 seconds and closing before over 20 seconds because of over exposure to light. Although this camera is very basic so there is no deleting the picture once its taken, and color, you will recieve a negative/ backwards picture of what is taken. also there is no adjusting the focus or zoom when in use, its more like a one shot camera

SLR Camera - Basically the overall best camera out, due to its lightweight, excited picutre-taking and plently of handy accessories to do a little touch-ups on your picture taken. A memory to carry hundreds of picutures, so there is no need to delete pictures! Also your picture is of your choice of regular with color, black and white, negative and much more making your photgraphy enless! This camera does give you access to zooming in and focusing on objects that may come blurry.

This is a great photo because the expression that the person is giving is great and makes the picture interesting and attracts people due to the hand gesture. Also its up close and at a great angle, theres not any dead space that might distract people.

This picture is not so so great because the picture is taken from a far distance so there for there is much dead space and makes the picture boring and unattracting.
