Ethic in Fashion Photos

1. The changes that were made to the model on the computer were: her neck was longer and thinner, her eyes were bigger, ears are smaller, hair retouched, face narrowed, higher bone structure, nose thinner, eyes widened, and mouth bigger.
2. No this is not ethically acceptable, because changing that appearance makes other people feel that that is the way they should be.
3. No, this should never be right under any circumstance.
4. None of these are OK under any circumstance.
5. The difference between fashion photography and photojournalism are, in fashion photography they manipulate the persons appearance to something that is not possible by normal humans, and in photojournalism you leave the photo pretty much how it is, you just change the color tone so it fits whatever paper you are putting it on.
6. The relationship between fashion photography and reality is nothing, because they change everything about the person, so nothing is real. The relationship between photojournalism and reality is a lot, because all you do with the picture is cut it down to size and change the color tone to match the paper you are putting it on.

My First Print

1.) Yes the people are in sharp focus, you can see the lines of their hair. Also the desk is in focus because you can see the lines on it.
2.) There is a good contrast, but I think I could of done better by adding some darker colors, since the photo is mostly whites and light grays.
3.) My photo follows most of the rules. Things I can work on are getting other people out of the shot before I take the photo and actually seeing people face to get emotions.
4.) No, there is no spots or yellowing on the print.
5.) No the prints are not ringed or spots.
6.) Yes, my negatives, contact sheet, and test strip are stored in my folder.

CAPTION:
Sarah, Krystal, and Josh are working on a project together in Mrs. Foyes' 4th period English class. On Nov 17 they turned in their project and got a B+.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

A. On April 1, for the past 6 years there has been a new photographer that uses manipulation of photos' in a bad way. Each way is a new way to manipulate a picture.

B. I think this type of photo editing is both unethical and acceptable, depending on what you are doing it for. It is acceptable, if you are doing it to make the photo better, like the first photo, but if you are changing it because you don't want someone in the photo, then that is unethical.


C. a. This is the most unethical photo because its making these people look bad. They didn't do anything and your making them look stupid and unhealthy.






b. This photo is acceptable because its not hurting anyone. They wanted to fit the pyramids on the page so it seams reasonable.

Negatives evaluation

1. I think most of them are going to turn out good.
2. I think one of them will turn out bad, one, because I took the pressed the button too fast and it took the picture and the light wasn't right.
3. The negative that I think will turn out the best is the one of my friend Whitley, or my last photo I took.
4. My best negative has all of the aspects of photography. It has good focus, exposure, and composition.
5. I tried to use rule of thirds and balance in my photography.

Extra Credit...

1. This photo has semitry and lines for the rules of compistion. The semitry is because of the mirror in the shot. The lines are from the railings and the fence that lead to the person walking on the stairs, the person walking on the sidewalk, and the people standing under the stairs.






2. The rules of compistion shown in this photo are repitition and lines. In the photo the school girls are repeated in each row, but not so much as they are exactly alike, each row is different and so is each girl. The lines in the photo are the desks, because they lead your eyes to the girls on the lines.






3. This photo shows rule of thirds and Cropping. It shows cropping by getting closer to her face instead of taking a photo of her whole body. It shows rule of thirds by putting her to the side instead of having her in the middle of the photo.

American Soldiers

2. A. The most powerful photo is the photo of the drill Sargent (the back of his head) yelling at Ian, who looks scared. It is powerful because you can really see the emotion in Ian's face, and can tell that Ian is the main focus of the photo.
2. B. The most powerful sequence of photos is the photos of Devin and Ian getting married. They are powerful because they show Devin's and Ian's feelings in their faces.
2. C. The photos go together and tell a story by each one tells how Ian went through each day. They each have different emotions and feeling, and you can really feel it, by looking at the photos.
3. A. In the photos where Ian is the main subject the verbs are usually in present tense.
3. B. The captions enhance the photos because they tell you whats really going on, and you don't have to guess whats going on.
4. A. In "Coming Home" photo 35: Ian and Devin seal their marriage with a kiss in an empty court room. The judge later say, "You could really tell they wanted to be together."
In "Coming Home" the last photo: Ian and Devin start unpacking and are getting ready for their new life together.
In "Signing Up" photo 13: Ian and his dad spend the last days before Ian goes to Iraq eating out at Olive Garden.
5. A. The other features enhance the photographs, for they tell you more about what Ian was going through it all.
5. B. Videos are better than photos, because they actually tell the story through pictures and words, and you don't have to guess the story.
5. C. Photo's are better than videos, since you can make your own story up to go along with them and then compare it to the real story.

Marlboro Marine

Luis Sinco used many different skills besides photography, he used text, audio, and videos. All of these together made up the slide show. The effect of the slide show powerful, and it really touch me. It was meaningful, because it is about a suicidal man. The most powerful image from the slide show was the one of him and his wife at their wedding, and he is saying that he didn't know how he felt about it. You can really see the emotions in his face that he doesn't know what he wants. The picture pictures at the end where they show him how he is now. They are powerful because you can really see the change that he went through from beginning to end. The audio enhances the photos because it tells you the real meaning of the photos and you don't have to guess what they are trying to tell you. The images work together to tell the story since they go through his life from when he was in Iraq to the present day. It was really sad because he was suicidal and he left his wife or she left him or something. :'(

Post Shoot Reflection

1. The challenges I faced were, no one likes their picture taken, or they want to pose, they don't want you to take a picture of them working. While on my first photo shoot, emotions were hard to capture since no one wanted their photo taken so they work "fake" smile or show no emotion at all.
2. I found myself thinking most about the focus while shooting. I did this by, when I was close to them, I would make sure the photo was in focus and then take the picture.
3. I tried to use rule of thirds and balance, so my pictures would be unique from everyone else's. I would put my subject in the corner or balance the person out with different things in the room.
4. I would change how I took the pictures because the people would either not want to have their picture taken or would want to pose for the picture and not be natural.

Some people are just plain stupid. 24 year old, Ronald McFinigin, somehow jumped the curb and the wall and landing in the bushes. He is not hurt, but really how would you do that?










On Interstate 51, they weren't paying attention to the signs when putting them in. Jefferson 'N' Son Constructions worked on this road last week and one of the workers needs to turn on their brain.













You've heard of the movie Hotel for Dogs, but here in San Diego, California, they actually have one. Sable, from Paris, Texas, relax on the beach, reserved for dogs, taking a break from her owner, Aaron Galveston.

Processing Black and White Negatives

Put all your tools out in front of you and memorize where everything is, because you need to be in total darkness.
In total darkness, take the film out of the canister and unwind it and take off the tape at the end.
Load the film in a plastic or metal film reel, you might want to practice before in the light, so you know how to do it.
Place the loaded reel in the film tank and cover it as directed. Now you can turn on the light.
Now you can process the film.
Make sure the temperature of the chemicals stay between 65 and 75 degrees.
Pour developer into the open part of the sealed film tank and cover it. Mix it around, and the carefully poor the chemicals out.
Pour plain water into the spout to stop the developing.
Put fixer in the container for 5-10 minutes.
Now you can take the negatives out and put them in cold running water for 5 minutes.
Now pour in a tankful of Hypo Eliminator and agitate for two minutes.
One final wash for five minutes.
Take the negatives out without touching the surface of the film.
In about 1-2 hours the film will be dry. Use scissors to cut negatives into 6 strips. Store the negatives in clear glassine envelopes.

agitate-To upset; disturb
reticulation-To mark with lines resembling a network
hypo eliminator-A solution used to facilitate the removal of fixer solutions during the wash bath.

Repetition

The horses and people in the picture are being repeated.

The buildings around the city are being repeated.

Happy Halloween
A pattern of lights forms a giant 275-foot jack-o-lantern on the side of WaMu Center in downtown Seattle.






The barbie dolls are being repeated vertical and horizontal.

The men in uniform are being repeated horizontally and vertically.

Takeoff
U.S. serviceman wait for their flight to Afghanistan to depart from Manas Air Force Base in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. After a vote by the Kyrgyz Parliament, the base has been forced to close.

What the Pros are doing.

1.) Focal length of lens - Canon EOS-5D, EF 15mm f/2.8 fisheye.

2.) Shutter Speed - shot at 1/1600 f/2.8

3.) What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed? You can see the car clearly instead of blurry like most photos would be.

4.) Aperture- 15mm

5.) What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture? The picture looks darker than it actually is and you can see the red in the background better.

6.) Position - Describe where you think the photographer was standing to get this shot. I think he was standing right inside the gate, because there is no gate that you can see, but he has to be standing a little far back, because the car is so small in the photo.

Show and Tell

This is where the video I chose is, it should be on the top of the page:
http://photoblog.statesman.com/page/8

I chose this picture because it has great color and everything stands out like it should.
I chose the video because its sad and it really got to me. Its really good to do something like that, so you ca think about what really happened and what would happen if that was someone you knew or it was you.

Filling the Frame

I think this photo fill the frame the best, because you can see see the other people in the background, but you can also tell that the main part is about the girl, who seems to be daydreaming.

Action and Emotion

This photo shows the best action and emotion because the girl is getting her blood drawn. The emotion is that you can really see her pain in her face, but you can tell that she still wants to do this and get it done with.

The Story

This photo tells the best story because you can really see the difference between the two girls. One girl is really happy or scared or something like that, and the other is freaked out, because they are dissecting something. I think this picture was taken just as the blond girl opened what ever they are dissecting and she thought it was either really funny or really surprising.

ATPI Fall Contest Picture

This photo is powerful because it really speaks to you in the way that you can tell that the girl in the picture is feeling sad or depressed, which in turn, make you sad or depressed, through empathy.
The lighting in this photo is dim, which makes the photo look more depressing, because the only color is the magenta umbrella.
This photo has many do's and don't's. Starting with it looks like the metal bars are growing out of the girl, so they did a bad job on not merging. But the metal bars are also like leading lines, because they are leading toward the girl. It also has symmetry, because if you split the girl in half the picture will be split in half. And finally it has the composition of background because the background is very simple, for it is just a plain gray.
The exposure is good, because it is not completely dark, but its not really light. It is perfect for this picture.

Great Black and White Photgraphers, part 3

1. a. When I first saw this photo the thing that caught my eye was that their is a doll in the middle of the ocean, well a doll head in the middle and the background is the ocean. I think it is very abstract photo, because of the doll. I chose this photo because of its abstractness and it really caught my eye that it was abstract.
2. a. I see the ocean, the vast, huge ocean. I see a doll in the middle. It makes me think I need to take a picture of it, because it is abstract and not ordinary.
I smell the ocean air. It smells like salt. It makes me calm. It reminds me of playing on the beach with my family on Christmas in Guam.
I hear the wind blow in my ears and the waves crashing on the shore. I hear the sea gulls calling to each other. It is so peaceful.
I feel wind blow past my face and blow my hair all around. I feel the splashing of the water on my feet, it feels nice and cool as the sun makes me feel warm.
I taste the salt water as the waves splash on my face. I taste the salt water in the air. It makes my face nice and cool.
1. b. When I first saw this picture I thought of a lily on a pond. It looks so peaceful and calm, and that is why I chose this photo.
2. b. I see a pond with beautiful white lilies, just sitting their on the pond. I see some frogs on the lilies. It reminds me of walking on the pier with my family in Australia
I smell the water and the trees around the pond. I am in a forest with a little pond with these white lilies on them.
I hear the frogs crock and the wind blow past me ears. I hear the birds and the little waves in the pond made by frogs jumping in and out of it.
I taste the water and the sun upon my face. It feels so good to have the water on my face. I can also taste the snack I just had.
I feel the water on my skin. And the softness of the flowers. I catch a frog and it is slimy and gross.
3. I would like to show the class and the rest of the school by making a power point presentation. I love power point presentations because not only can you tell about the topic you need to but you can also put your own touch on it by making each slide different and it show that you can be creative. I also like posters, but I can't really be creative on posters because I can't draw or anything, I'll just use the same things over and over again.

Composition Photos'; celebrates from twilight, part 2

Balancing Elements. This photo show balancing elements because Kristen is off center and in the background there is the guy who plays James. The light from the windows, James, and the rest of the background balance out with Kristen to make this photo a balanced photo.


Viewpoint. This is a different viewpoint because it is up a little above the heads of the charters. Which changes the view you take toward the photo, not only the way you look at it.





Background. This belongs in background because the charaters clothes are blended in with the background. So it makes Their white skin and faces stand out more.






Create Depth. You can see the tree are tall, and it feels like you are actually looking up at the sky though the trees. Which in end creates depth, because you can see the tallness of the trees.





Cropping. The original photo is of their whole bodies. This photo is cropped because they went to a close up of just their faces.

Photo Composition; celebraties from twilight, part 1

This picture of Taylor Lautner shows Leading Lines and Simplicity/Background. The line in the Simple background are not completely horizontal, but titled to the side by a couple degrees. It show Simplicity because it is a black and white photo.









This photo of him shows Rule of Thirds. It is Rule of Thirds because the bright red fire hydrant is in the bottom box of the squares. And Taylor is in the top 3.










This photo show Framing, because Taylor and Kristen are being framed in the window. The window frame is around them, making it look like they are being framed in the window.







This photo show how to make merges work. The photographer was trying to merge everything together, and it worked, but maybe a little too much. You don't want to merge because then, like in this picture, it looks like something is growing out of someone (ie The tree is growing out of Kristen).







This photo show Symmetry and Patterns because everything is symmetrical. Except for Dakota's dress, because she has one shoulder covered, but not the other. Also her stance isn't straight so those are patterns in the photo, its symmetrical, but not completely, making it more appealing.

Hurricane Ike

This photo has simplicity and balance because it is very simple, in there is one point and that is the cemetery itself. Its balanced because it has geometric figures like rectangular prisms and others.



This photo has rule of thirds because the "Dead End" sign in to the side, so you can see the people in the background. I like this picture because now, it is really a Dead End.






This photo has framing, because the horse and house are framed inside the fence. It is interesting because the horse is still standing there with all the water and it is like nothing happened.

My Pinhole Pics

Differences:
-The positive is the opposite of the negative, the tree is on the opposite side.
-In the bottom left corner of the negative, there are lines, but in the bottom right of the positive, there are no lines.

Definition of negative:
-noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.
-a tonal inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa.

The minor bending on the corners of the photos is caused by interference by the foil used, or the chemicals used.

Great black and white photographers, part 2.

Imogen Cunningham was born in Portland, Oregon on April 12, 1883. At the age of 18 she bought her first camera, a 4x5 inch view camera, from the American School of Art. After that she lost intrest in photographing and sold the camera to a friend. But in 1906, while studing at the University of Washington in Seattle, that she was inspired by an encounter with the work of Gertrude Kasebeir to take up photography again. With the help of her Chemistry professor, she studied the chemistry behind photography. In 1915 and 1920 Cunningham continued her work, but she also had three children (Gryffd, Rondal, and Padraic) with Roi. In 1920 she moved from Seattle for San Francisco. While there Cunningham refined her style taking a greater intrest in pattern and detail.

Rule of Thirds

The photo is not centered. The people and trucks are to the bottom, right. This is how it shows Rule of Thirds.

Avoiding Mergers

I picked this photo for merges because the man is merging with the background. They are the same color, so we want to avoid that. You can barely see his face or any part of him.

Framing

This photo is framed because the small brownish building is framed between the two sky scrapers. The smoke is also framed into the building because there is still a perfect line of the building, the smoke does not block it.

Balance

This photo has balance because there are many geometric shapes put into it. There are squares that the building make and their are quadrilaterals that the streets make.

Lines

The lines in this photo are vertical and when I see it, I think of falling, like the man in the photo. The man is almost invisible because of the way of the lines.
