Extra Credit Final Exam

Extra Credit

1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo. 

The man Ki Suk Han was trying to claim down a man who was harassing another but was pushed to the tracks and R. Umber Abbasi a photographer of the New York Post was trying to get the attention of the conductor by using his flash. 

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?

He was trying to get the attention of the conductor by using his flash and ultimately took pictures of the event.

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?

I believe that the photographer should have at least tried a better method than using his flash.

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?

I think that if he came up with the idea of using his flash to attract the attention of the conductor then he possibly should have came up with a better idea like actually pulling the man up.

5. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post? Explain why or why not.

I disagree consider the fact that the man died. They shouldn't have use the death of a man as a story. Also consider if you were an average man/women and not that man people know you but if you where in the situation and were only remembered as the person who died on the train tracks is not really a good thing.

6. What is more important to a photojournalist, capturing images of life as it happens or stopping bad things from happening? Why or why not?

If you are a photojournalist than you must take pictures of life considering it is what you signed up for. There is a difference from documenting something and changing something and those two don't go well together or else what you documented has no real value now. Also it is there job to show the world the truth and the worlds job to change it.

7. Do you think it is ever ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs? Explain why or why not.

For a photographer in the photography world I do think it is not acceptable. Once again they have a job to take a picture of the truth and be the resin why there are now changes.

8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer. 

I think if photojournalists are in fact shaping there work to there will that is not okay. They should make there art not be forced but come natural. If that man were in danger a real world thing to do is to help him but that might also influence the picture, but taking the picture and not help him which is a real world thing to do is also influencing events i the end it matters hoe the photographer views his morels and his way of capturing events.

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.

"How does “taking pictures” tell a conductor to stop a train? Huh? Is this photographer guy a moron? Throw down your camera and run to help the guy. If you fail, at least you tried. Taking pictures isn’t trying. What conductor would think, “Oh, look, someone’s taking pictures…maybe I should stop the train.”

1.


Margret Thatcher, lady Prime Minister, pictured on the left, is next to the traditional "Dress Tree", in her honor positioned at the White House. She died in the early 1990's, where then president Clinton presided over international affairs, and ordered that a picture be positioned on the wall.

2.
1. Rule of thirds
The main focus of the image should be along the outside corner in a gird like format, if the image is divided into thirds.
2. Balancing Elements
The image should appear balanced by placing objects to one side or another or in a nice row.
3. Leading Lines
The lines should lead along parallel or intersecting path so that it appears a vertigo component diagonal lines are dramatic.
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)
There should be easily noticeable patterns in the image, be it on material, or objects themselves it should catch the views attention.
5. Viewpoint
The viewpoint should be an element necessary to determine the subject and purpose of the photo, it should be a necessary component.
6. Background
There should be an apparent background, but it should not interfere with the subject of the image or be known as simple.
7. Create depth
There should be depth to the image, with blurs or size comparison and make the subject sharp.
8. Framing
There should be a noticeable "frame" or objects or lines surrounding the main subject of the image.
9. Cropping
Cropping should not change the meaning of the image, nor should it be neglected. There should be just enough, but it should not change the message of the image.
10. Mergers and avoiding them
Mergers, or where an object seams to continue along with another object, should be avoided so that the focus can be on the main subject.

3.
Aperture: the opening, similar to the iris in a human eye, that affects focus and depth of field in an image.Shutter Speed: the speed at which the shutter, or the eyelid, closes and bloke light, and opens and lets light in.
ISO: the sensitivity of the light sensor to light, affecting the brightness and grainy quality of the image. 

4.Any manipulation of an image to change the meaning is not right or unethical in any resolve. Any change to the image should not change the expression, the meaning, or the message portrayed in the image.

5.Enviormental Portraits: are portraits where you want your subject in a certain environment. 
Casual portraits: are where you want your subject to be the main idea unlike environmental where you want your subject and his/her environment.  
Self portraits: are like what the title implies it is when the subject is also the photographer.

6.Exposure is how much light is in a a picture if a picture is too bright then it has too much exposure if a picture does not have enough light than it needs more exposure. 
Depth of field: refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp or burly. 
Focal length: is the mesuare of how a camera can detect light well.

7. 
Early: these were more like a book but just had current events and didn't have any picture but more illustrious
Poster: It has now evolved to were there was a bigger illustration and the title but not really anything more about the magazine 
Married to text: This is where their starts a balance of words and images where there are maybe one big picture and some little  picture for the subtexts and the title with the main story text and subtexts
Forest of words: This is where their is more texts and the main picture and the picture is usually in the background of all the text.

Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography

1.removed acne,colored hair, and curly hair.

2. longer legs, neck longer, and but was made bigger

3. made much skinner, hair made bigger and longer, and hands were made smaller

4. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like these in a photo

 Why or why not?

I think it depends on the person and what they think I very pro choice and think that if someone wants to be viewed as something they are not then that is okay. But when you alter the image of someone without their permission than that's not okay you changed something that made it clear they did not want to be changed like the eucalyptus leaves and how they clearly don't want to be eaten by koalas but get eaten anyways

5. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

Like a stated before just like eucalyptus leaves they clearly don't want to change (or be eaten) but you alter their image then it is wrong. You can also alter them to become ugly and obviously  that is wrong. Their is also the circumstances where you can alter they way events look like and I personally believe that you can not change the past in anyway.

6. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?

I think there are some harmless changes like making you friend look like a eucalyptus leaf and your a koala eating him thats okay. Also making your photo of eucalyptus leaves better thats also okay.

7. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.

Fashion photography is using photographing in a from of marketing and trying to sell something or make money. While photojournalism is more about taking a picture and talking about it.

8. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

Each form of photography cannes us emotionally on they way we look at things, the way we feel, and they way we think.

9. Why do you think I am showing you these three videos?

You may want to show us the bad things that photoshop can be used for also to show us the dark side of photography.

10. Why are none of these videos about guys???

Possible because it different. Most people will buy a model magazine about a girl because girls envy girls and guy want girls but guys typically not envy other guys.

Magazines Part II

1. Early Magazine Covers
They did not have any pictures for covers like today. They manly were just title and then strait to the story. Some of them did used some versions of book covers which is a simple small illustration. 

2. The Poster Cover
individual cover started to happen. and made no words and more of a they look at this now buy it and read it's contents and i mean look at it, it's a picture 

3. Pictures Married to Type
This is a good example of "modern" day magazine where its father The poster cover  made him but added something new you actually know what they heck you're buying and what the magazine is about. Also they added words. But it still kept the exciting new tread of adding a picture cover of the subject.

4. In the Forest of Words
As you know form poster cover from above it had a son who never knew how to shut up and thus In the Forest of Words was born. Yes this is the "modern" day covers but it is when you have your main "subject"  but around and on his/her forehead is all the other titles in the magazine. Like I said before can someone please shut this person 

My Favorite Cover

My Favorite Cover

W, December/January, The Art Issue


"For W’s December/January Art Issue, the magazine collaborated with artist Yayoi Kusama to create this iconic cover image depicting George Clooney. The visually arresting image is the highlight of the cover story, for which five leading female artists were invited to create interpretive portraits of the actor. Clooney wears a suit painted by Kusama with her signature polka dots and stands against a polka-dotted backdrop. Planned to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of new work by Kusama at David Zwirner Gallery, the cover makes a powerful reference to the artist’s iconic self-portraits."


This picture helps show that photographers can take one the worlds sexist man and put him into an out of the ordinary in a strange environment. I also like how exciting this image it made my eyes just pop. They also choose a good choice in lighting like the use the darker side with the side with less light and I liked that a lot. I also like what they did to there title they changed it up a bit so that way it can along with the spots, although  I think they put it there so we can read it easier but I also think that it work and help out with the theme. I think that there is a good amount in composition like abominably the pattern of the dots but they may have a few lines with his coat. They also in a way some simplicity in the background because although it is eye catching it is very simple for the fact that it is just dots.

Self Portraits

Self Portraits 

Experiment with lighting

Move your subject out of their comfort zone

 

Environmental Portraits

I like these pictures especially the first one because it simple looks cool I mean the boxer punching the punching bag. The soccer player in mid air.

Self Photography Portraits 

Both of these were taken by the same guy and i like them because they are really good examples of what self portraits are and the first one with the mirror was very creative and the one with the chess pieces was just a fun photo.

Casual Portraits 

these are both very different photos one is a family portrait and the other is a senior portrait. i like the family portrait because it looks interesting but still keeps the simple element. I like the senior one because i think it's kinda funny I mean hey look I'm gonna smile in the sewage system because I want to look good before the serial killer in there come up and takes my picture then stabs me.

Portrait Photo Shoot Plan

I plan on taking most of my portraits of people who are both willing and able. I will take them mostly in places where their is ether something going on that my subject can interact with. Or a simple background to take a simple picture of my subject. I will also try to do something different and maybe get my subject out of their comfort zone.

Abandon Amusement Parks

Abandon Amusement Parks 

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.

I would want to go to the prehistoric park in Michigan because I like dinosaur. I think that it is cool I would get a chance to take pictures of "dinosaurs". Also because it is abandon it will look more realistic.

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.

a barber shop

a dry cleaners 

a hospital at nighttime with nobody around

a suburban neighborhood at night

a shipyard/marina

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.

So far no one is documenting just neighborhoods at night

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 looks cool for that none is ever outside their neighborhood when its dark. Everyone is ether staying inside or somewhere else. It adds to the mystery of what is really happing

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 can see that all you need to do is go to neighborhoods at night. I think their may be laws that invoke taking pictures of people houses that might invoke stalking.

Project Photos Mini Assignment

Project Photo Mini Assignment

1. What emotions did you feel as you worked your way through these images?

I felt a little sorry for them

2. The photographer said this: "These photographs do not define us, but they are us." What do you think about this comment now that you have looked at the photos?

I think he trying to say this are not just photos of someone going through cancer that they are real people going through some real things

3. Do you think you could shoot photos like this if you were in this situation?

I would most likely not considering I'm not a art hungry jerk who uses bad situations to get attention

4. If you could write Angelo a letter, what would you say to him?

I would say I'm sorry for your lost but that you are a jerk to take photos of something tragic just so he can get attention.

Africa

Africa

I read about a photographer who aces picture of animals in africa. His picture are dramatic and have good power in them. They show good forms of rules of photography and he adds his own style in it. There was also a contervisoery about him and his ideas of how us humans are treating the environment.

3. Describe it and tell me why its your favorite.

It is two baboons or monkeys that are just sitting in the jungle with their baby. It is my favorite cause I like the background and how calm the monkeys are.

4. What rules of photography are evident in the photos you selected, be sure to explain the rule to me?

The light that is shining down is a diagonal light and is very dramatic. I would say if they baby was the subject then it would be rule of thirds, and the background is simple with jungle scenery.

5. What kind of camera and lens does he use and why is this important?

Instead of telephoto end he uses Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses. He believes to be close up to the animal.

6. What is his reason for taking these photos?

He likes to see the coal of the animal and can only do it up close.

7. What is his hope by taking these type of photos?

He really is just obsessed with the animals and is fascinated by them.

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

''When people in Africa are poor and starving and there are no crops left to eat due to the deforestation and global warming leading to ever-worsening droughts, they cannot be blamed if they kill the last zebra walking through the bush for their family to eat.''

Great Black and White Photographers: Part 3

Great Black and White Photographers: Part 3

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? Post the images with your writing.

What caught my eyes where some techniques and they way they took their photos and how we still use them.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see: I see a man crying in fear and trying to survive. I can see the remains of the vegetation and how they are around him. I see his equipment his rifle that he is not even holding it and his pack with all his gear and how they are all budged together like a pile on top of the solider.

I also see a crowd of people but the one person who sticks out the most is this stunning nun and how she is looking not at me but at everyone. She is looking expressionless but still looks beautiful.

I smell: I can first smell the sweet of cut grass and how its smells nice and fresh. I then smell smoke how it replaces the grass with a thick crowd of it fills up my noise and makes me cough. I then smell the napalm sadly I don't like it for it smells like rotten boiled eggs.

I smell the odors of all the sweaty people bumping into each other. I also smell the clean soapy aura form the holy water that the nun is drenched in. I also smell the fine pine wood of the cross she is caring.

I hear: I hear the quiet nosies of the jungle and the birds cropping and the wind blowing. All the sudden I hear some planes flying and then all the sounds are nothing but BOOM and POW POW POW. I then hear the yelling of orders and formations by the officers and then more gunfire and hear the last faints form the soldiers.

I hear the crowd of people all loud having conversations about there day. I then hear a bell ring and then the mummers fade away. I then art hear the choir form the nuns singing in latin starting the ceremony.

I taste: The moist humid air and my sweat from the climate. Then I taste the clouds of smoke and it gags my mouth. I then taste the napalm and dirt that is everywhere.

I taste: I taste the leftover snack that I had form dinner before the service. I taste the wine bitter but then sweet with a good bouquet. After that i walk up for communion I taste the tasteless pice of bread it is practically a cracker that is not salted. 

I feel: I feel rev lived that We are in the clearing and beauty of the jungle. I then feel confused and frighted by all the planes and firing. I then finally feel scared that I will die here on this battlefield.

I fell: I feel tired from my long day and that I have to go to Mass. I then feel Happy and filled of Joy by what the pastor has to say. I then feel even more glad that I got to leave the Mass but still moved by what they taught me that night.

Instagram Meets The Street: Questions 

1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?

I'm thinking about maybe activities like games,competition, and plays

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?

I think if we want to do some serious edit to the pictures then a regular camera will be better but if it's only some things then phones will be fine 

3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?

I think somewhere around the lib ray or near the entrance of the school

my favorite photo is the one with the student writing a math equation on the transparent broad. I like the photo because iv'e always like those types of broads and what you can do with them photography wise and i enjoy the angle of it and the simple background. The rules of photography in this photo is simple background, There is also a little bit of balance, rule of thirds and it avoid any mergers.

Action and emotion doesn't have to be all about fighting and drama. It can also be about humor and the little things in life and this picture captures it.
