extra Credit

1.The man was pushed by someone unknown and since the photographer couldn't make it on time to help him he was taking pictures to show the f;ash so the driver would see them and stop.

2.Because he wanted the driver of the train to see the flash and stop the train.

3.I don't think he should've of taken the picture because he could of at least tried helping the man instead of taking pictures of what could of been avoid.

4.I don't think so,because he immediately took his camera out to take the picture,he could tried helping him instead.

5.I'm really not sure about this one because people would find out either way on the news but then again,he was trying to get the train drivers attention.

6.I think its better to stop things from happening than taking pictures of it,because if we can stop it or if we think we can,why not try?

7.I think yes they should be because they are the ones who took the pictures so people need to know who he/she was in the situation.

8.i honestly think they should sometimes,just cause this photographer is getting hate from people,but in some cases if its just a little situation i think it wouldn't really be a bother.

9.That the photographer doesn't really know what to say because they don't really know how the situation went,and that he understands why people are getting mad because of their point of view.

Fashion

1.the lips,the neck,the eyes,forehead,shoulders,skin,hair.
2.No,because people have to accept people the way they are cause if they change themselves then they're just faking being someone they're not.
3.Like if they use a picture like that on Facebook as a profile picture and someone likes them and wants to meet them then they won't want to cause they know they're gonna look different then what the person expects.
4.maybe just make the image clearer and the make up but changes like those agents good.
5.phot journalism we take pictures of anything and we don't fix them like they do and fashion is just the image like beauty and makeup and all that,we're natural,real,they're not.
6.Well fashion is saying that all girls have to be beautiful,so thats why theres a lot of self consciousness in girls.And photojournalism is just showing how things rally are,no editing or anything.photojournalism is showing all the things we take around us.Fashion is just showing girls and beauty and how people want to be.

lytro Warm up

1.Whenever you pressed on the place you want it to be focused on,it focused on it.
2.It focuses more on the object you want it to be focused on and the rest is all blurry.
3.they have to know exactly what they want to takes pictures of and keep the camera still.
4.I think it is cause it looks really good,the images are clear and it looks good.

Self portrait and portraits part 2

Tips:

1.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.

2. The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects.

3.A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait.

I liked this picture because of the colors and the way they took it.It really caught my attention.

I liked this picture because the sun in the background stands out a lot and the way the rays of the sun are making their way through the clouds.


i liked this picture because of the way she took it.The colors make her one visible eye color stand out.


I liked this picture because her hair stands out and the rest is just gray or black while her hair is a bright orange-red.

I liked this picture because the way the little girl is posing for it makes her look really adorable and its just her and the apple ,the background isn't distracting.

I liked this picture because the baby is doing what her dad is doing.They have the same facial feature.

Paragraph:

I think I'm going to take portraits of other people and focus more on trying to take the pictures of them with the rules i needed more practice with.Im gonna make this shoot successful by trying my best on them and trying out different forms of taking them.I think I'm gonna shoot around my neighborhood or when I'm with my family.

American Soldier slideshow and captions




A.Because the little boy is small and he's showing a gun with his hand acting like he's shooting the soldiers.The kids learn from their parents,since a young age;either they're taught from a young age or they learn from what they hear or see.Like how all the little kids do.

B. 
1.picture #1 through #9
2.At basic training picture #17 through #21
3.iraq picture #49-#70
4.back in denver #78-83

C.These pictures tell a story because it shows everything he's been through and shows where he's been and all the things he has done.

3. A: Mostly past tense because its all he had done.so it happened before.

B: It gives more details of what he's doing and we can actually picture it.

4.
Ian is joining a dog pile because he wants to get his presents first before all the other soldiers by throwing himself on top of them on christmas night in a a military area.Afterwards Ian found his presents but found out he was excited for just a pair of socks.


Ian is sleeping at this moment because he got work done,he's in his room he just layer there and is now sleeping.When he woke up he felt satisfied with his rest but he figured out he missed dinner.
Ian is hanging up some christmas lights at the moment on top of a door by their military house just to remember home and not feel lonely before christmas night.Later on they put up a tree but it was too bright.

5. The videos give more details to his story.They share more of what he has done and shared with others and what he's been through and what he has felt of all of this.

B.Well for example the people that are in the pictures are actually saying all of their feelings and the things they shared.

C.Pictures are better than videos because they can hide a mystery.Kind of like lets say you can see some people throwing themselves to a swimming pool but its just showing you what that person or those people are doing not why they're doing it.So it can keep a mystery and have you interested in whats the reason.

Abandoned theme park

1.The park i would like to go to that was shown in the website would be the okpo theme park because of the story behind it.How "accidents" started occurring there.I have always liked scary stories or something in real life that is scary and has a mystery.So i want to explore and experience what there is in that park.Because sometimes they say the ghost of the people that have died tragically in some place can be around so i want to take pictures of it.

2.

3.I would like to go to any type of abandoned museum,hospital,jail,airport,house.

4.

5.I would like to go there because it just seems like a good scenario to take creepy pictures, and to tell a story from them.

6.I would need money to go there because is all the way in L.A.I would also need a guide someone who knows the place very well and has been there.I would need the camera to take pictures of the place and the things that intrigued me from it.

Academic shoot reflection

1.Some challenges that were hard for me when i was shooting were for example shooting some people who were covering themselves.And trying to get the picture how you want it,following the rules properly.

2.Focusing on the subject i was taking the picture of.I was worrying about it a lot because i wanted the picture to come out the way i want it to be.

3.I would change the way i took the pictures from some angles.

4.On some pictures i wouldn't change how i took them because i like how some of them came out.From some different places.

5.Avoiding mergers or simplicity because for me they were the easiest i think.

6.balance or framing because its hard to capture a picture that completes the expectations of those rules.

7.i'm not completely sure about rules of third because for me that was the hardest and i still don't really understand.

Academic shoot "balance"

This picture could be a picture that shows balance because it shows the circle of students in the center of the picture.The subject is the circle made of people.I think i followed this rule okay because i know i could've done better.

Academic shoot "framing"

This picture would be an example of framing because the portables make the frame around the girls.The subject are the girls.I think i followed the rule in the middle but i could've of done it a little better.

Academic shoot "avoiding mergers"


This picture could be a example of avoiding mergers because the main subject (the guy) is focused.The picture is only focused on him and on what he is doing.Also everything else is cut out.

Academic Shoot "simplicity"

This picture can be a example of simplicity because not much is going on.It's just a simple tree and two benches.

This is another example of simplicity because it's only showing the sky by itself.I think i followed this rule better than the others but if i would change one i would taken it in a different angle.

Academic shoot "lines"

This picture is a good example of lines because of the "S" curve that it shows and how the lines intersect through the cables.

Academic shoot "Rules of third"


This picture would be a good rules of third because the subject of the picture is placed in the middle of the picture and it has some extra space in front of him showing where he is headed. It also shows the background of where he came from.
