1). In this photo I followed the rule of thirds. 2). The subject in this photo is choir because you can see the girls are making hand signs and they are singing along 3).

A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images? Photographers who photoshop do it to make the person look more pleasing to the eye. B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation? They provide photographers with strict guidelines on how to shoot and edit their pictures. C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation? The most acceptable things you could do without crossing the line is changing the brightness and red eyes I think this is unethical because they changed her skin tone and changed her thighs. That was very unethical and could've just kept the photo how it was This represents ethical because all the did was change the brightness and added a guy in the background. I personally think that is ethical but people have other thoughts on ...

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/art/photographer-harry-callahan-at-100/ Harry Callahan is who I chose who is my favorite from "Great Black and White Photographers Part 1". He was born in October 22 of 1912 in Detroit Michigan. He went to college at Michigan State University, but then later realized college isn't for him so he then started working as a clerk. He bought his first camera in 1938 and then joined a camera club. In the early 1960's, he went to Rhode Island School of Design and he founded the photography department there. He published 8 books all about photography and more. He was a real famous photographer until he died in March 15 of 1999 being 86 years old. This photo is a self portrait of himself.             A lot of his photos were of his wife Eleanor. 

                                         It visually tells a story by the camera only focusing on the guy and the girl. I think the story may be about the girl who is disable graduating high school so proud of herself. It shows nothing is impossible with people who are limited.                                          This picture shows emotion by the faces they're making. The people in this photo look happy and excited. I don't know what's happening but what I do know is something is important is happening by the white dust being thrown.                                                        I find this picture the most interesting beca...

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie) I tried to avoid mergers and that was hard. Also the topic " happy" was hard to capture. I also tried not to take a picture of what everyone else was taking a picture of and to think outside the box. 2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. I kept thinking about zooming in and focusing the picture. When i see too many different topics in the picture I  had to either zoom in or get a different angle and that helped a lot. 3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would've thought about different ways to take a  picture like angles,rule of thirds, etc.  ...

Simplicity This picture represents simplicity because if you would see this picture for the first time, your eyes will automatically go to the burning building. The background is not distractive so the building has all of the visual attention. With all of the attention on the burning building,wanting to know what's happening, the attention is focused on the building. Lines This picture represents lines because the lines of the building is in the background of the man's legs and his figure. With the lines of the building in the background the attention is also going to the falling man. The lines make a interest in "what is happening in this photo" question. Balance This picture represents balance because the three men form a rectangle. The colors are also very good in this picture because the whole background is white or gray except the 3 fireman and the one in the background. The 3 fireman are yellow and black making the attention go to them. ...

Rule of Thirds  This is a picture of a square. I like how the white shoes are in the picture because it makes it look colorfully pleasing to me. Also how its squares inside a big square. This is a picture of metals. I dislike how it is so dark. But i like how the light in the back is peeking its way through. Simplicity This is my picture of "Bowie". I like how the tree is in the background and the blue sky is also in the background. I dislike how the truck is visible i would have like to crop it out.  This is my picture of happy. I like how the blue sky is visible in the picture. Also how the clouds are so pretty and the tree is a pretty shade of green.

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved? Inside a dark room, a hole is made into a wall. Then the hole has to focus and the outside scene is projected though it is upside down on the complete opposite side. The hole was like the lens then it would focus and project to the wall. 2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera? They came one step closer to modern cameras when Isaac Newton and  Christian Huygens got the understanding of optics and the steps of making high quality glass lenses. 3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce? The parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce were a glass box, dark box, and film. 4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?  Modern digital cameras and  Niepce's camera both have in common that the light passes through the lens and into the camera ...
