Photo Manipulation and Ethics
Part One
A) This article was about photojournalists that Photoshopped pictures taken of famous events. The photo editing that occurred in these instances however was unethical.
B) I believe this type of photo editing is unethical because, by doing things like cloning over women in a photo or Photoshopping in the 4th missile of the launch, the journalists are basically lying about what they photographed.
Part Two
A) I feel that this photo is the most unethical because, they are trying to make her out as something she's not. This is a good example of why young girls have unrealistic image expectations placed upon them in today's society.
B) This photo seems the least unethical to me because, it just looks like the lighting has been enhanced.

Balance
In this photo, the small buildings in the back create geometric shapes while the women in the foreground balances the photo.
Lines
In this photo, the verticle lines of the building direct your eyes to the falling man. These lines make the photo feel more dynamic.
Rule of Thirds
In this photo, the focus isn't directly in the middle. The subject has been place in the rule of thirds.

Great Black and White Photographers PART 2
Bill Brandt was born on May 2, 1904 as Herman Wilhelm Brandt in Hamburg, Germany. On December 20, 1983, he passed away at the age of 79 in London, England. Most of his life was spent working as a photojournalist and photographer.
In the 1930's he worked in in the Paris studio of "Man Ray". This was where his vision of presenting the mundane world as fresh and strange came through. Around 1933, he moved to London and began documenting all levels of British society.
He has released books to showcase his work: The English at Home in 1936, A Night in London in 1938, etc. He was also a regular contributor to magazines.
In the years leading up to his death, he worked more with people than landscape. He released a series of nudes that would later become very popular.

The Camera
1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?
"Camera obscura" was the first camera. A hole acted as a lense to project light onto a dark wall.
2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.
3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
added film to create a successful photograph.
4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
a camera is still a camera, so they work basically the same way
5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
an electronic sensor (CCD)
6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
program mode= just for point and shoot, auto mode= controls flash and exposure
7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
you use it to blur out the background with the fastest working lens setting
8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
Sports mode is used for freeze motion. You choose the shutter speed and then put it on sports mode.
9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?

10. What does this symbol mean? When would you use this?
It means to turn the flash off
11.What does this symbol mean? When would you use this?

it'll wash out the photo and make it hard to see
13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
the picture will look dark and it'll be hard to see
14. What is a “stop”?
a relative measurement of light
15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
1 stop brighter
16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two?
2 stops brighter
17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
more light
18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?

Worst Photo
In my opinion this is the worst photo I took. The model's face can't be seen and the angle is awkward. Also, the photo is slightly blurry.
Best Photo
In my opinion, this is the best photo I took. I shot this from the ground looking up, which made for a good angle. Also, the model looks happy and clear.
