FASHION ETHICS

I do not believe that this is ethically okay because this model looked perfectly fine after all the make up she put on there was no reason to change the way she looked.

This is worst then others because they did not just take out dark marks "if any" on her face BUT they changed her as a person completely .... who ever it was that was on that bulletin board was no longer that model but another person with completely different trates. It alright to take out a dark spot or a pimple or slobber but not if your going to completely change that person appearance by a longer neck bigger eyes smaller forehead, bigger lips and so on. The difference between Fashion photography and journalism is that one tells the facts of the matter, and the other shows Partial facts. What they both in commen is that either way they are both going to have people believe what they see . ETHICAL OR NOT.

Photojournalism Ethic

Should a photojournalists ethics be absolute or situational? A photojournalist ethics should always be absolute unless its for something that is fun or get premishion to make it situational. Because in cases such as 9/11 with that photo with the man on the building looking lika an airplain about to hit is VERY unethical due to the viewers involved in the tragedy and are affected by something so Tragic. But somehthing not unethical is like taking pimpls of a models face or croping a picture..

Can a photo really capture truth? Yes a picture CAN really catpure the truth but only if the person behind the lense is willing to fallow the rules of ABSOLUTE!.. It is t his way because its something being captured at that very point and moment of time unless of course the photo was photo shoped and edited out or in images.

decisions have you made as a photographer that "edit" reality? I took a picture of a student her at school that had many dark spots on his face and had alot of scratches all over the photo.. i croped and edited out all the dark spots and all the scratches that i could find.
Why is it important that news organizations have clearly defined ethical standards? Because the news organizations viewers EXPECT THE TRUTH! not False FACTS.

Most Unethical..




This picture is most unethical...because this was a tragic time and I think its pretty bad to take reality of a tragic time away from this scene. The line shows up on the picture on the left and is taken away on the right. even if the press thought it would be funny about the line , people would take the situation of that picture more serious.

Manipulating

This picture as far ethical this is the least unethical picture because in this photograph there taking away blemishes to make a prettier picture and make the overall woman look nicer.

wisconsin university

University of Wisconsin-Madison as a racially diverse campus sent out brosures to those who wanted to apply to the university with a fake picture. The press with U W M being a white comunnity wanted to show that it was a racially diverse campus . So a man named Borrow decided to use a picture of a african american student from another campus to be place in the picture full of white americans at a football game. I believe that it was wrong for them to do that because that student really wasn't there in reality. If they really wanted an african american student that badley the should have just found a group of friends enjoying another day on that universities campus and photographed them.

Sugar Hill

What skills in addition to photography did Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slideshow?.... the photographer used techniques like lines, filling the frame , the rule of thirds and to in order to create that intencity of the over all project the photographer definatley captured Discusion to create ethos.

What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow.

I believe the over all effect of the slide show was the background voice over and the the song that the woman is singing . Also the photos that nicely symblizes with the music and voice over, especially since all the photos and voice of the slide show was all from SUGAR HILL! It gives it depth and meaning , ethos , Logos , pathos

From viewing all the other slide shows , I believe the most interesting process of multimedia is the over all story and how multimedia helps you build that nicely by fadeing each picture into the next photo that each tells a signifagent story , haveing the music in the background all at the same time.

Valerie first photo shoot experience

  1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? How did you deal with these?

  • The chalenges that I encountered while trying to get close was to actually have the couarage to take picture of people I didn't know , trying to be out of there way of there work. With my photo shoot , I really didn't capture that much Action or emotion exept the fact that they wree all consintrateing on the computers and there projects trying to make there robots move. I dealt with this by getting to know some of the students that were working asking what it was they were doing and trying to accomplish.

  1. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most, and how did you make sure you did these correctly?
  • I found myself thinking more about the focus and exposure other than composition , In order for me to do this correctly I made sure that my lense was in good foucus on my subjects that I was taking a picture of.
  1. Describe how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques when you shot.
  • the advanced composition techniques I tried to use was the techniques with lines. There was a tool set placed on the table were the students were working and I moved to were i could see the yellow lines of the lid of the tool box to create leading lines towards the students.

SPORTS SHOT




  • :Focal length of lens - Shot with: Canon EOS-1D, EF 70-200mm


  • Shutter Speed -, shot at 1/640 f/2.8 ..


  • What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed? The effect of the shooting at this shutter speed is to capture the ACTION that took place in the split secound...with the combination of his antisapated movement and the correct camera lens


  • Aperture-Shot with: 2.8L IS USM zoom,


  • What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture? Since the only focuse in this picture is the actuall football player in the air... being that the rest including the background is out of focuse the apture would be a SMALL APERTURE!.... being that it is dark and so there for giveing the player with the football more focuse and more depth, consintrating on him the subject of this picture.


  • Position : I believe that to photographer was stand at the pretty close to the side lines near the touchdown of this foot ball players destination . the photoghraper abserved earler games and teckniques of and this Game was prepared for this shot...

Discussion

Discussion : Just by abserving this photo you can already see the main discussion of how whats being taken shot of. Being that most of the city in this picture including the main focus of the twin towers with even the next plane about to hit, haveing the discussion of whats going to happen next. the shodows of the building and the lighting of sky give the photo an eary kind of feeling of tragety!

the rule of thirds

The rule of thirds..... : the rule of thirds applies to this photo being that the flag is in the center , part of the torn up building in the upper left hand quarter, and the dust and dabrise in the upper left hand quarter. following the the rule of thirds with also a shodow of what seems to be another part of a broken up building in the downer left hand quarter.

Avoiding merges

Avoiding merges : due to the HIghlighted yellow and the american flag bandana, those elements of this photo separates the anything from merging avoiding any blending of one subject to another. the over all colors of this photo allows this photo to avoid any merging!

Frameing

FRAMEING : this picture has a strong feeling of depthe because within the frame this solder is holding his weapon , looking at the sky , a building behind him with the clouds and the tree branch all in this frame being and emotion stanza to the photo of justic. everything just fits the frame real well.

simplicity


SIMPLICITY: Being that the flags are on the ground standing out from the rest of the photo but in focus as well ...being the center of interest leading to the solder with a axe witch is also a center of interest due to the flags beneath the solder.

BALANCE



Balance!!!
in this photo the statue of liberty gives the american flag balance as its positioned to the left of the photo with the flag being being on the top with a slanted lines. but being that the statue of liberty is there on the left help balance the flag. giveing it a feeling of how americans really stand for liberty.

Lines

LINES


. in this photo the sky scraper that leads the eyes to the man thats holding the newpaper. giveing the picture an over all depth to how high this paticular building is by the horazontal and diagonal lines from the windows on this building.

Valerie's Pictures

4 A 5 ... is one of my favorite pictures that I took becuase not only is it in Foucus but it also has alot of EMOTION and Activeity going on in one frame. The picture just looks real FUN!!!


Another Picture that i also in enjoy is 2A 3...becuase it show the emotion of one subject in the middles of alot of other subjects... it's got good foucus and it fills the frame .

FILLING THE FRAME!!

The picture fills the frame very nicely , and has many interesting things within the fram. Such as were there boys are located, and especially the FIRE wich fills out MOST of the frame! Also just by looking at the picture , you can tell that they are in a class room with a door and computer and obviously and in a science room. Like they always say "a picture is worth a thousand words"

ACTION AND EMOTION!!


This picture has ALOT of action and alot of EMOTION! Especially in the background with everyone in MOTION exept for the girl who seems to be more consentrateing on something more important like her school work. While everone else talking and not doing there work and is in action due to the bluryness of the photo!

THE STORY

I beleave the story here is that three sisters were driveing home from school and there car suddenly broke down. So they popped open the hood and started to figure out what made there car stop! teaching the younger sister with the books what to do when this happens again if she goes driveing by herself!

the camera

The pin hole camera has a shutter just like the SLR , except that SLR is more advanced . the SLR has a delayed shutter realease an aperure setting ring foucusing ring and an iris diaphrame ... and the pinhole camera is less complicated. they both project a picture though the shutter that allows light to project a picture. The SLR camera controlls the light that goes through many passages before it makes a pic , it happens so fast that u are able to freez exactly perfect at that split secound. The pinhole u have to be more precise and carfule to get a good picture other wise the picture would come out to dark or to light.

tuesday photo-j likes and dislikes 09/12/07

I really dont like this picture . I cant tell what it is and its has no specific meaning. It's blury in some area's and Really dark in others. From and artist point of view such as painting it would be Perfect . but i cant really tell what this picture is and it looks worped is most area's of the photo.... I would rate this pic a 2...
















I really enjoy this picture, because I love CROSSES... this picture has the holy crist in it and is really focused on the subject. This picture has a blur behind the subject witch to me i beleave give the photo, good character and make the cross stand out a little more. Like I said before the cross is deffinatly in focuse and the background is blurry . This photo is not warped it has lots of details and has fine definition. I would rate this picture a 4...

two blog critique's

this picture is not as good as it could have been . it only shows the subjects head and isn't really showing that much . I think that the photographer could have done a better angle and maybe more of the subject. instead of the sealing . I would give this pic a 1.





this picture fills out the whole frame so thats good elements. The girl is in actions to what apears to be expressing herself


Also the subject is her ! she's not fuzzy and tell alot about her just by looking at the picture....id give it a 3................
