Fashion Photography Ethics

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
They made the models lips bigger, her neck longer, her face more skinny, and wider eyes.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I would say no
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Because that's not how she really looks like and they make others think it is so they can get more people to buy there product.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
Like in photojournalism, making a background blurry or just focusing in something it is okay. Changing the way people look isn't.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
In fashion photography they do alot of editing like changing the models face making her skin/face look better. Photojournalism your just leaving the photo how it is but just making little differences.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? They both change how something actually looks like, in photojournalism somethings are blurry or brighter but in person they might not and in fashion they make things look better.

Lyto Warm-Up

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
The photo focused on one this and the background got more blurry.
2. How does this new camera work?
it used the Aperture because the background is getting blurry.
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)
He would need to know how to use the ISO ,High shutter speed,Slow shutter speed,and the Aperture 4. Is it worth the money?
I think it is worth money because it looks cool when it focus just on one thing and the rest is blurry.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

 Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

Favorite 3 tips:

1.)If you’re taking photos in a studio, use a mannequin for light testing: Much easier than guesstimating!
2.)One way is to frame an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front of the lens.
3.)Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO - how do they all work?

f2.8


f16

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?I would say the eye is closely related to aperture because it can also just focus on one thing and blur the back.

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture f-number, the higher the Aperture f-number.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? The size of the the aperture makes a big impact on the photo, the smaller the aperture is the more blurry it gets.

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which was earlier this month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

High Shutter Speed

 Slow Shutter Speed

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light

a.) the dunking booth-Fast

b.) the food eating contest-Fast

c.) the rock climbing wall-Medium

d.) someone working at a booth-Slow

e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-Slow

f.) the Diamonds performance.-Fast

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) the dunking booth-Slow

b.) the food eating contest-Slow

c.) the rock climbing wall-Medium

d.) someone working at a booth-Fast

e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-Fast

f.) the Diamonds performance.-Slow

 ISO 200

 ISO 3200

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? When a Basketball game and Football game I would turn the ISO High

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?When there is plenty of light you should always use the lowest ISO.

When there is plenty of light, you should always use the lowest ISO

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? Use high ISO when there is not enough light.

F4 looks better with 1/125, you cant see nothing in the background everything is blurry.
F5.6  looks better with 1/60, you can kinda start seeing the building in the background.
F8 looks better with 1/60, you are kinda starting to see the building in the background but it is still kinda blurry.
F11 looks better with 1/60, you are starting to see even better the building.
F16 looks better with 1/30, now you can actually tell there's a building in the background.
F22. looks better with 1/15, the couples don't look blurry as they do with the smaller shutter number and the background is clear.

Funny Captions

The Kangaroo was punching the photographer(Jessica),it sounded like it hurt bad. I guess he doesn't like taking pictures.After the Kangaroo punched her she never went back to this park ever again. 

I got to my aunts house to babysit and I found her baby like this. My aunt Leslie was too lazy to mop so she put her son Daniel to do it while he was crawling.My aunt just left and didn't do nothing.

Academics 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 hard because the classes i went to weren't really doing interesting things like I thought they will and there were some rules that wee hard to find.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
Framing and Focus were the ones I had trouble with because in the class room there wasnt really things that will make framing, and for focus I would try to zoom in and out and sometimes the way I like it the person or thing wouldn't really focus on it.


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 go to a class that will be doing interesting things like experiments or projects.


4. What things would you do the same?
I would hold the camera the same.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
Simplicity and Lines were the once i knew were going to be the easiest because its easy to find lines in a class room or like i got one from the Hallway and simplicity because its also easy to get a plane background.


6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
Balance because I didn't really understand it.

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
I'm still not really clear on the Balance rule, I can practices trying to get pictures like that at home.

Africa and mural project.

Academics & Community Service.

1. Why did you pick this photo?
I picked this photo because of the time they took the picture, it was the perfect time because the paint was exploding when they took it and it made the picture look nice.
2. What rules of photography are evident in the photo?
I would say balance because if they would of taken a picture of the paint being still then it wouldnt look good like it does now.

Filling the Frame

This would be for filling the frame because of the explosion that's what fills in the frame and makes it look better.

Action and Emotion

This would be actions and emotions because it shoes how they have fun with there teacher and how they like him.

The Story

 It tells the story by the way they took the picture.Its shows how students are helping out the people who don't have food.

Balance

Avoiding Merges

This is a bad picture of Avoiding Merges because the cut of people and it has a bad background.

Framing

This is a good photo for framing because the way the flag is standing in right its a good placing for all the items in it.

Rule of thirds

In this picture the part were it exploded is in the middle, if i picture the lines it would be right where I want it (in the middle)

Simplicity

The statue of Liberty stands out because of the smoke in the background, it attract your eye most to the statue than what is happening in the back.

Lines

In this photo the lines of the building makes your eyes attract to the man.

Unusual and interesting photos Part 3
