national geographic warm up

its hard for me to chose which one is my favorite because they all have something different about them that catches my attention but if i have to pick i think it would be this one.

this picture shows the difference between the outside and inside. its gloomy inside but cozy looking, and warm and happy outside. i like how the outside is blurred so you can only try to see what is there and i like the soft inside.


i have a photo of a bunch of flowers with one being focused on more because of the bee that was on it. i would submit that one

photo ethnics right wrong

this picture isn't really all that bad because opera might have kinda looked like that but wasn't quite there yet so she probably asked the editors if they could get her a body,  but the head doesn't match the body's skin color enough.

 this picture should not have been edited because it make the guy with the baby look like he is trying to steal her or something and in the left hand corner you can see the people at the end of the picture were put there because you can clearly see them on the inside and they took out the army tank that was in that corner and darkened the clouds in the back.

photo manips ethnics 2/2

manipulation of photos can be dangerous because for example if you make one that shows that some place is "bombing" another place and that country who is supposedly being "bombed" can get mad and start to actually bomb the place where the picture was saying it was from. its not right to manip photos a lot because then you loose the truth and spend your whole life believing the lie someone made in the first place and that can change someones beliefs, lifestyles and anything in between.

photo manip ethics

the story was talking about how manipulation of pictures or anything can affect peoples life even if it had happened before or after the manip. manipulating photos can determine the future, past, present and can alter a lot of peoples lives. for instance if you commit a crime and you have access to get the photo that proves you were there committing the crime, and you know how to use photoshop you could alter yourself out of there and blame some one else so it looks like they didn't. but thats not right. follow the rules of photo-manipulation!

red metal HAPPY

 I couldn't find anything "happy" so i decided to write "be happy" with a rock outside of the cafeteria so others who are not having a good day could also see it, the handwriting is bad but i like how its in a open space where you can see the grass and the pillar from the cafeteria in the back.

Red METAL happy

I chose the gates to represent metal because I liked the way the light was contrasting the courtyard and the outside. it gave it a more free look and i like how if one pays close attention you can see the locks on the gates.

RED, Metal, Happy

Red: i chose this because the red hallways and the person in the end of the hallways was also wearing a red sweater. 

unusual and interesting photos

1) the pictures didn't catch my attention much because of the way they were.
2) he made the photos by either using photoshop or a selective program that
 focuses on just the main subject the photographer was focusing on.
3) the longhorn tower in the UT campus would be good because its thin-ish and it will not take up the whole frame. it does have easy access unless you have a gun, which you should not because its on a public campus and people might think that you want to hurt them, others or yourself.  
       i chose this one because i really want to go to paris when i get older so yeah....

"40 greatest photos taken"

 terri gurrola and her daughter

 1) It has 2 great fighters here with their top weakness, mother and daughter being reunited after mom came back from army.2) it puts the main subject in the middle to get the attention of the viewer.3) how such a brave woman can break down just being with a tiny human being.

 christian golczynski accepting his fathers flag during a memorial service. 8 year old

 how strong the little boy can be knowing that that is his fathers flag giving to his family for his loss and  how he can be so strong as not to cry in front go them. i absolutely love how the light just shines on the little boy's face  and upper body it gives a feeling of its going to be ok. just the look of the little boy made me feel so thankful that my mom isn't an army mom.  it shows how even small young people can be just as brave as others and just the meaning of it is great.

 wait for me daddy by claude p dettloff october 1 1940

the little boy thinks he can go with his father on this "trip" not knowing where his father is going. its set up to where one can see the huge line of recruits for the military and the shops. the innocence of this picture is so pure and simple.

aperture-  chieflyan opening, hole, or gap:apertural adjective
shutter- Photography a device that opens and closes to expose the film in a camera.exposure-the action of exposing a photographic film to light or other radiation:
depth of field-the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.
F-stop-a camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number.
focal length-the distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus.
ground glass-glass with a smooth ground surface that renders it nontransparent while retaining its translucency.
still camera-A still camera is a type of camera used to take photographs. Traditional cameras capture light onto photographic film. Digital cameras use electronics, usually acharge coupled device (CCD) to store digital images in computer memory inside the camera. The digital image can be transferred to a computer for later processing.
darkroom-a room from which normal light is excluded, used for developing photographs.
scale focusScale focus, or zone focus, is a type of focusing system used by many inexpensivecameras from the 1940s and 1950s. These cameras have an adjustable focus, but lack a focusing aid such as a rangefinder. It is necessary to determine the distance to the subject and set the focus using a scale printed on the lens. If you are good at estimating distances, or have a tape measure at hand, you can get precise measurements
