EXTRA CREDIT

1)  Ki Suk Han was shoved onto the train tracks, and the photographer pulled out his camera to use the flash to warn the train driver that something was wrong.

2) The photographer said he only took the photo to use the flash on the camera to warn the train driver that something was wrong.

3) I think the photographer shouldn't have been taking the photo's.

4) No I think he could have been able to try to pull the man back up off the tracks .

5) I disagree because it isn't a good idea to put a photo of someone that died on the front page unless he was rescued.

6) I think taking photos of life as it happens which is important to photojournalism, but then stopping bad things as they happen is important in life.

7) I think in really doesn't matter, but that photographer should learn to help in bad situation, and stop trying to take photo's of them.

8) They should avoid taking picture of bad things as they happen and help in these bad situations.

Rules of Photography:

1. Rule of thirds- Is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as photography.
2. Balancing Elements- Placing the main subject off-centre, and balance the weight of the subject by including another object of less importance.
3. Leading line- Placing lines in the composition affect the view pulling toward the subject.
4. Symmetry and patterns- introducing tension and a focal point to the scene.
5. Viewpoint- taking a photo from high above, down as the ground, from the side, from the back.
6. Background- Plain background is better, because it doesn't distract from the subject.
7. Create depth- Create depth in the background, middle ground, and background.
8. Framing- The framing  is used to draw the eye on one subject.
9. Cropping- Eliminates the background around the the subject.
10. Mergers and avoiding them- Don't take a photo that cuts another person.

Lytro warm-up & Ethics in Fashion Photography

Lytro Warm-up

1. That you can focused on anything in the photo rather then one thing.
2. The Lytro Light Field Camera captures significantly more data then a regular camera, and the lytro camera works by light entering the Lytro camera goes through the win lens and hits our proprietary Lytro Light Field Sensor. The Lytro Light Field Sensor incorporates a special compound lens known as a micro-lens array, which is comprised of thousands of tiny lenses.

3. Need to know hot to take photos manually on a camera,and also have to focus manually on the object.
4. I think that the Lytro camera is wort the money to have when it comes to trying to be a great photographer because you could focus on anything in the picture.

Fashion

1. They made her cheeks thin, and also made her neck longer. Also they raised her eyes a little bit.
2. In my opinion I think it should not be acceptable to change a person appearance because they should show who she really is.
3. Yes because in reality the girl doesn't look anything like what she looks after her transformation.
4. The changes to give her a new make over, but not the changes on photoshop.
5. The difference is that photojournalism doesn't edit he photos thy take to make them look perfect, and fashion photography does edit the photos to make them perfected.

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- If you can, hook up your camera directly to your computer (or, for extra-fancy bonus points, your TV) so you can see your pictures come up as you take ‘em. It’s a lot easier to iterate and to make gradual improvements to your photos that way.
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.

Portrait assignment:
For my assignment I would like to shoot someone who is a creative person, and isn't afraid to be themselves,and I think I would shoot Mark for the portraits. I would like to shoot outside because the background of the school, and the nature around it would be a good place to take a portrait. I would use the rules of photography, take many photos, and be creative to make this shoot successful.
