i would... and definitions

I would use a telephoto lens to ... take a picture of a football game in action. 

I would use a prime lens to ... take a picture where there is low light and want fine detail. example at a basketball game.

I would use a wide-angle lens to ... take a picture of the band during the football half time shows. you can get more people in the frame.




depth of field: range of distance that appears acceptably sharp
shallow- when the focus is on one object in the frame
wide- the whole picture is in focus

light intensity angle: The fixed value of the speed of light in SI units results from the fact that the metre is now defined in terms of the speed of light.

shadows: light source cannot reach due to obstruction by an object

diffusion:when the image is projected through a material that isn't quite perfectly clear.
exposure:

aperture: f-stop- the hole where light travels through, determines how much light is going into the frame.

shutter speed: determines the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor.

Finalist
W, Sept. 2011: "The Fashion Issue"
(Photograph by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott)

For W's biggest fashion issue of the year, the magazine celebrated the ways women today transform themselves by showcasing actress Kristen Stewart as readers had never seen her before. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot transformed the 21-year-old cover model from the Twilight teenager that audiences know best into the glamorous, grown-up vixen she's becoming. "Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves," Stewart says playfully on the cover, tempting readers to pick up the issue and see for themselves.

the photographer caught a side that people almost never get to see of kristen because she dresses kinda like a hobo and they actually made her look beautiful here.

my holiday

the holidays were a lot of fun for me because my mom had the christmas eve dinner at our house and all of our uncles and tias came over and i git to see my niece again! on christmas eve it is my uncles birthday so we celebrated his birthday and christmas eve dinner. we had a big variety of food including tamales, mole, enchiladas, sopes, pozole, menudo, punch, potato salad and carne asada. (they were mostly mexican plates and goodies). The next day we all went to my tia's house to eat a christmas feast and only some of the family showed up because the others had a hangover. i have uncles who drink a lot when they party. when new years eve rolled in we went to another tia's house and we partied there until like 7 am the next day. i was tiered so i slept until 5 in the after noon. my sleep schedule was all off and still is up to today. it was also my birthday on january 6 and i loved it. i share a birthday with my friend fernanda tapia, my cousin in mexico, and my tia's boyfriend. then i came back to school.

entertainment of 2012

the london olympics. every sport was there and so were a ton of great artists. especially one direction.

news of 2012

the shooting of newtown elementary school.

best movie 2012

they were both great movies. 

best song/s 2012

 for the best song of the year i could not pick just one, there are 4 that i really really like and they are just sung/written by amazing artists.

one direction- what makes you beautiful It helps a lot of people understand that even though they might have flaws they only help increase things that make them beautiful and why some may not like those things there will always be people who like/love them because its unique about them.

cher lloyd- want you back The song is so upbeat and catchy that you just want to sing and dance along to it, even though the song talks about cher being jealous of her ex being happy with another girl when cher broke up with him to make him want to be with her but he moved on because 'Aint nobody got time for that' just kidding, he wasn't going to play her game.

olly murs ft chiddy bang- my heart skips a beat Olly has always had amazing songs and the messages are always towards girls that are different form what guys would normally look at. skips a beat is a song where he talks about a girl he likes that he can't help but think of a life with her and its always upbeat.

ed sheeran- the a-team Ed has always written all of his songs by himself and is breaking out in the united states after many fans heard his music and about him when they realized he was close friends with the boy band  one direction. ed isn't a very good looking person but he has a beautiful soul and character and everyone should listen to his music because he talks about actual things. the a team is about a beautiful  female who because of her addiction to, whats called, a team drugs, can't live a good life. she works by selling her body to complete strangers for the night, she dies in the song. her addiction kept her maintaining a house but it wasn't enough. she didn't have a good life, couldn't afford food or much clothes because her addiction was strong and kept her from achieving her goals i life.

and irish (niall is irish from one direction)

best photos of 2012

the little girl is just adorable and has her head held high even though she was near the sandy storm.

 the picture quality is great and you can clearly see the details in the surfer, island, rainbow and sky.

 the railroad tracks are covered in moss and plants because it hasn't been used in a long time and this just makes the place look a lot better.

dove fashion (sorry i went overboard with this)

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
 (before photoshop)she had her eyebrows filled in, had contacts put in, foundation and toner on, blush, fake eyelashes, eye liner, lip liner, lipstick and gloss, hair curled, (after photoshop) defined hair, sculpted the lips, made neck longer, took visible blemishes off, aligned her eyes and eye brows, sculpted the nose, defined eye color, curved her shoulders, popped out collarbones more, made face skinnier, made eyes bigger.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
no because it looses reality and makes people believe in things that are not real, and people then eat their feeling like in mean girls, then they get bullied and everyone wants to look like something they are not, which makes this world so hard because everyone is trying to look like something that was created by a computer. everybody will die trying to be something that was never real which is actually the saddest part of this.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
yes, photoshopping lets say, a video image that could prove that someone was innocent but being lied to and having their picture there instead of the actual killer. that persons life is ruined and no one will ever believe that he was innocent while we have a criminal loose on the streets. but then again, its also bad everyday to do this. it  warps reality and now a day people are so gullible that they try to be something thats fake and people set higher standards according to these pictures,
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
lilght is ok. 
whats not ok is to move someones head up or down in the video and change their have completely 
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
fashion photography uses so much more photoshop than photojournalism because fashion eople try to get others to buy their products and by having someone "ugly looking" isn't going to get them to their goal so the use ps to "enhance" their pictures tp turn someone average looking into 'OHMYGOSH I WANNA BE JUST LIKE HER/HIM' while photoj just chills and is like 'hey, this is what reality looks like. come check it out. you don't have to look like that'
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
fashion believes that beauty is so much more valuable than reality because if they thought that reality was better they wouldn't do so much to change a persons look. 
photoj used the least amount of ps because they believe that people have the right to know how life actually is. there are no such things as ugly people, they just don't know how to dress. reality is one of the best things to some like photoj unless you're in the fashion industry.

lyto warm up

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? really high definition photos came up and they looked so good!
2. How does this new camera work? it lets you pick what you want the camera to focus on instead of letting it do it for you so you can get the pictures just how you want them
3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about) first you would need to know how to turn it on and then how to set it up because a lot of people break their cameras because they don't know how to work them. 
4. Is it worth the money? yes! i would go buy one if i found where they sold it because i would love to be a photographer when I'm older and i would sure love to get this make.

american soldier

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why? 

         image #59 because its showing how they still have holiday spirit even when they're in a strange place fighting for their country and lives knowing that they might not come back that evening. its so close to home because my tia is still over seas and its the holidays.

B. Through the photos, Ian is in different locations, each set of photos from the same location comprise a short series or set.

Set #1 At home in Denver - Tell me which image #s from image #1 to image #9

Set #2 At Basic Training - tell me which image #s from image #10 to image #30
Set #3 In Iraq - tell me which image #'s from image #31 to image #70
Set #4 Back in Denver - tell me which image #s from image#71 to image #83

i think the first 9 photos were hard because hes having to leave behind his whole family and friends and habits. Hes having to change his whole life

the pictures are in order from when he first started to how hes in combat, they're in order

3. Underneath each photo is the caption that ran in the Denver Post

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?

          past tense

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?

           they explain what is going on in the photos

(IMG32)- Javier, standing in his bedroom along his father awaits what has 



4. Now its your turn to write a few captions - DO NOT COPY THEIR WRITING
img 1 - In Ian's hand he holds the army recruiter's phone number, debating wether to join the army.


img  6- Ian gives one possibly last goodbye to his close friends roger and ronnie before headed off to training with an army recruiter.


img 59 - even though ian is far from his home on christmas holidays he gets into the holiday mood by putting up chirstmas lights in the camp where he stays.

A. How do these other features enhance the photographs? they enhance the pictures by added depth and perception to the image instead of just being plain and flat.

B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site. in videos you can get a deeper angle on the things and see what parts move through out the video and in a picture you just see whats there and can't really get a clear idea of where things are headed towards

C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.nin photographs you can save them forever and you can play the memory over again in your head while in videos you have them but you can't really see on the cd or cassette or anywhere else you might have them what the video is about and you can soon forget about it.

mural pictures love

abandoned theme 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.

six flags of new orleans. i would like to take a camera there and a gun just in case zombie clowns try to kill me. they scare me. but i would like to get some good shots of them around the abandoned amusement park before i kill them. that would look good in my portfolio for school. i like to get different angles on things that normally you wouldn't take or see things form just the normal angle. look at things differently you can always find surprises.

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. 

bermuda triangle

the great blue hole of belize

the amityville house

target

driskill hotel

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. the driskill hotel looks like fun but its also scary cause of the ghost apparitions there have been there and the story of the little girl. but the building itself is amazing and i would love to go there and explore all the nooks and crannies.

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 would need people that know ghosts so they can protect me from them so i wont die and i like to get different angles on things to find and see other things that people normally just don't see or ignore.
