Video 1- In the video they make the models neck longer. Also the give her more hair and make her skinnier. Also they make her brighter and make her eyes and lips bigger. Also a ton of makeup.

Video 2- The second video they make her legs longer, they make her skinnier, and make her lighter. Also they put on a ton of makeup and made her feet smaller. Also the made her nose smaller and gave her bigger eyes and lips and more hair.

Video 3- They added a lot more hair and made her about a hundred pounds more skinny.

4. I think it is wrong to change a persons whole appearance just for marketing purposes. Not only does it make other women feel unsecured about what they look like compared to the model it could also make the model feel bad knowing she doesn't really look like how she wants.

5. In my opinion I think under no circumstances they should change someones appearance that much.

6. I think no edits should be changed but makeup and hair extensions are fine.

7. I think fashion photography is to make someone look appealing by changing what they loo like, and photojournalism is getting the beauty out of things without changing anything.

8. I think all photography has photoshop, but I feel it is used to much.

9. I think you showed us these videos make us realize while photoshop is good you shouldn't use to much of it.

10. I don't know why known of these are about guys, but maybe they were advertising makeup and the majority buyers are women.

Magazines Part 2

1. Early magazine Covers- Early magazine covers usually did not have a cover photo and usually was just a table contents as the cover and would explain what each section will be about.
2. The poster cover- The poster cover was not many words on the cover and was usually just a picture about what the magazine would be about.
3. Pictures Married to type - These type of covers were usually a title with a model covering a part of the title to add an effect to want to read and look at it.
4. In the forest of words- These type of photos usually have a picture surrounded by words to explain what each section will be about. These covers are used most commonly in the modern era.

Favorite Cover

The magazine cover I chose was called "Germs" and it shows a baby in a photo sitting on grass and a dog coming up to the baby and licking his face. I think this photo was used because the photo is trying to inform about germs and it shows a dog licking the babies face. I like how the cover fits the whole page and the background is a different color making it more interesting to look at. Also the lighting is at a good level and everything in balanced because of the baby on one side and the dog on the other side of the magazine cover in this photo.

Five Tips  Blog 1

1. cover background pops out
2. don't make main subject and background the same color
3. do not trim image
4. Use full color
5. Overlap images

American Soldier

I think the most powerful image in the slideshow is one of the most simplest photos that was taken during the slideshow. I think it was the photo of Ian sleeping in his full gear. This one is important because this shows how people in the army are always at work.

The photos taken in Denver were from photos 1 through 9.

The photos of basic training are from 9 through 51

The photos of Ian in Iraq are from photos 51 to 76

The photos of Ian back in Denver are photos from 76 to 82

I think the photos for training were the most powerful, because Ian had to prepare very hard.

The images told a story on how Ian worked and struggled but finally did it.

Usually when the photo is about Ian the caption is almost like someone is telling about Ian and are in present tense.

The captions and how they are written make you feel like you know him.

Photo # 65-  Ian sleeps in his full uniform ready to leave for a mission whenever he is called.

Photo # 12- Ian got his hair shaved for the army, while the other soldiers waited in line.

Photo #76-  Ian's dad waits to be reunited with his son as the troops come home.

Quotes

1. Looking within the frame – alternatively you could have your subject looking at something (or someone) within the frame. A child looking at a ball, a woman looking at her new baby, a man looking hungrily at a big plate of pasta…. When you give your subject something to look at that is inside the frame you create a second point of interest and a relationship between it and your primary subject. It also helps create ‘story’ within the image. ( Darren Rowse ) 

2. Experiment with Lighting

Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.

Side-lighting can create mood, backlighting and silhouetting your subject to hide their features can be powerful.( Darren Rowse ) 

3. Get Closer

The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.

Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't. (Robert Caputo) 

The portraits above are environmental portraits. These photos stand out to me because the one where the man is on the mountain is very vibrant and blue. Also  the one on the right is simple but interesting to look at with the grass pointing to the man.

The self portraits to the left both have interesting perspectives. The one with the girl in the mirror is interesting because it appears as if the girl has a huge hole in her. The man with the paint brush is interesting making his face more vibrant.

The casual portraits above are simple yet interesting. The man against the wall is casual but the wall leads to him. The man on the bike is simple but the tree line in the back leads to him.


I will be taking these photos at my house. They will be taken in my backyard where I have plenty of things to use to enhance the photo. Also I might use the front yard too. To make this shot successful I will use rules of photography. I will take my self portrait of me, obviously and my other portrait of my brother.

Aperture, Shutter Speed and Iso

1. The aperture is closely related to the eye.
2. The smaller the aperture blurs

the higher the focus.
3. Aperture impacts depth because depending on the F- Level depends how blurry the background is.

 ShutterSpeeds Low and High

a.) low
b.)low
c.)high
d.)high
e.)low

When you select shutter priority the camera sets the aperture.

When the camera is on manual you are on aperture and shutter mode.

ISO



ISO 3200                                                                                                 ISO 200

1.Lower the ISO level the higher the sensitivity, and higher the ISO level the less sensitive so at a basketball you would choose high ISO so it is less sensitive.
2. You should stick to low ISO as much as you can, because there is plenty of light.
3. You should do high ISO when there is not enough light.

1. Aperture- 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8 ,11 ,16 ,22.
2. Shutter Speed- 1/60 SEC, 1 SEC, 1/4000 SEC

Photos

1. As I worked down the list of photos I became sadder and sadder. This was very depressing.

2. After seeing these photos I felt like I new them personally, which made it sadder.

3. I think if I was in this situation I would shoot photos.

4. If I could write Angelo a letter I would give him my condolenses.

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. If I could go and take a photo shoot at one of these abandoned amusement parks I would go to Six Flags, New Orleans. The amusement park was taken out by hurricane Katrina and it completely flooded making it not able to be used again. The scenery at the location of this Six Flags  is also nice.

2.

3. Five unusual places could be junkyards, alleys, abandoned buildings, old cities, and old ships.

4.

JunkYards…

5. I think you could find some interesting things in a junkyard and you would be able to take interesting photos. Also there are a lot of old cars and it would be cool.

6. To go to a junkyard I would have to go to a junkyard. I do not know where one is. Also I would need a camera, and gloves because the junkyard is gross.

Africa

1. These photos taken of the animals and landscape shows the beauty of Africa and nature. I think it is cool to take pictures of these animals and people should take pictures of animals to show how we should not hunt them. I also think it is good to show Africa's true nature.

2.

3. This picture is a herd of elephants traveling. The picture shows lines which leads you all the way to the last elephant.

4. The rule of lines was used to lead from the first elephant to the last. Also the rule of thirds was used to show the first elephant.

5. Brandt does not use a telephoto lens so he can capture all of the beauty.

6. He wants to show the nature in Africa and we shouldn't destroy it and it shows the way of life there.

7. His hope for taking these photos is that people will see the animals and realize they should not poach them.

8.

"There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa. There is also something deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa—those vast, green rolling plains punctuated by graphically perfect acacia trees under the huge skies." (Brandt, 1)

Funny Pictures

Billy and Herman are on the home stretch to the finish line! They had to get through many karts at grocery stores to get to this race!

Susan loves everyone at the grocery store and enjoys wearing this shirt. Susan does not know why everybody avoids her since she bought the shirt last year.

Granny just came back from lifting weights and catching a raccoon with her high caliber shotgun. Granny likes to show off her muscles when she hunts. Granny does this routine every night. Granny remembers catching her first raccoon at the age of 4.

Great Black and White Photographers PART 3

The great black and white photographer I chose was Ansel Adams. I enjoyed his pictures because they were very descriptive and they were of landscape. The picture I enjoyed most was the picture of called
The Tetons and the Snake River, this picture drew me in with all of the nature going on.

I liked these pictures because I enjoy landscape photos and enjoy taking them as well.















In these pictures I see trees, snow, and water. I see water rumbling down. I also see trees being misted by the water.
I smell crisp air from the mountains and river water from the waterfall. I smell the wet rocks that are at the bottom. I smell the trees along the river.
I hear crashing water hitting the ground, and whistling wind in the mountains. I hear the sound of a pebble hitting the water on the river as it is calm and steady. I can here the rocks piling up on each other as the water rumbles down stream in the waterfall.
I taste fresh water.I can taste the crisp cool air as it blows by my face. I can even taste the mist blowing in my face.
I feel a chill by the mountains. The humidity from the waterfall. I feel the grass along the river as it scratches my legs.

For people to see my photographer skills I would show them by taking more photo shoots to show people my photos.

Mural Ideas

1. I think a cool theme for this could be the fine arts classes.

2. If you don't have a phone I think it is okay to use a camera.

3. I would put the mural everywhere we could in the hallways.

Academic Shoot reflection and critique

1. I enquired some challenges while trying to find photos for these subjects. I had trouble finding a good balance photo. Also I could not find a solid lines photo, because in every picture I tried to take the subject was really far from the lines.

2. I was originally most worried about framing, but everywhere I went I was able to find a good framing picture, because all of the hallways made a good picture.

3. Now that I am confident on the rules I think I could take a picture of balance better. I think this because now I know how to do this rule.

4. I would not change my photos on rule of thirds, balance, and framing. These pictures in my opinion were good pictures for these rules.

5. I think when I go out for the next shoot I will be able to take good pictures of framing and rule of thirds.

6. I think the hardest rule to capture will be rule of thirds. I think this because it was the hardest rule for me last time.

7. The rule I am not totally clear on is balance. I can figure out what it is by asking a friend or going back to that website.

1.  http://hanadph.blogspot.com

2. I think that your framing picture was a good photo, because you can see what the picture is and what it is supposed to be. I also like your lines photo because the lines go directly to the man.

3. One thing I would improve is your rule of thirds photo because the person in the picture is in the rule of thirds but the other people are not, and it makes it look like there are multiple subjects.

Academic Shoot

 This picture represents the rule of thirds, because he is not in the center of the picture. The subject of this picture is the person drawing. I think it is clear what the picture is being taken of, because everything else is plain.

 The picture above represents simplicity. The subject of this photo is the girl in this picture. I think it is clear what the subject is because it is the center of the picture so your eye goes to it.

 The next picture is balance because almost everything in the picture makes up shapes. The subject of this picture is the girl painting. I think it would be hard for the person looking at this picture to figure out what the subject is because the picture seems hectic. I think in the future I could get a better picture of balance.

 The picture above is framing. The subject in this picture is the girl painting. The hall makes a frame around the girl and I think she is the main point in the photo.

This last picture is lines because the lines lead to the girl working below. I think it is clear that the subject is the girl because the lines lead directly to her. I think it might be a little hard to find the girl at first, so in the future I need to work on getting a picture with lines while seeing the subject well besides the lines.
