Extra Credit- Doomed man on Subway

The man was on the subway tracks because the man he was trying to calm down pushed him down in the subway tracks. The photographer was able to take the image by trying to warn the train operator by using his flash, in the meanwhile capturing the man on the tracks. The photographer said he was trying to warn and make the train operator stop the train by using his flash. I think the photographer didn't actually take the photo on purpose, he was trying to help the man by warning the train operator. It really depends for me how he tried to help the man first. The article said he tried to help the man, but it doesn't say how. If he tried to lift the man up but couldn't, then thats okay, but then why was he so far away from the tracks? I think that if the photographer had called for help and tried to help the man up, that was the best he could do. But I don't know exactly what he did. Using the flash was pretty smart, though, if his idea was to actually warn the operator. I think the role of human and citizen comes before journalist, and you should always try to stop bad things if you can, but if you can't, it is too high above you, then you should take photos and record the event under your choice. Yes, for example if a photographer takes a picture of his family and then runs to get in the picture, that is great, fine. You can involve yourself in a situation that you photograph, for example photographing people running after you, or something else. But this image, you should have just tried to continue to try to help the person up. I think that certain images should not be taken, or at least shared, for example this image. Before you take an image or share it, think who it could affect. You don't show a family how a person died, it makes it too real and painful. especially when everyone in New York might have seen it. Photographers should influence some events as they happen, such as this one. You should try to stop an event that is happening, even if it would be a good story or photo. Be a human and citizen before your job, do what is right and generous. The most appropriate response is that you should have tried to help the man up first, and only took the flash pictures as a last resort when stronger and faster people are helping the man and there is no space for you to help him. Also, isn't there like an emergency switch in subway stops, where lights start flashing? You should have flipped that, if there was one. I like the last and 2nd to last comments personally, where they say at least you would have tried and be ashamed. You shouldn't have shown the photos, at least. Just remember: being a photographer doesn't make you less of a person. BE A PERSON BEFORE A PHOTOGRAPHER.

Killer Timelapse

Website: http://blog.ted.com/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/

On this website, I found a video of a time-lapse of Rio de Janeiro with Iguazu Falls. I also found an interview with the maker about how he made it, how he got into the business, how does he do these time lapses, and why Rio? I learned how some people do a time-lapse and how they prepare for it and  choose the location.

In the time-lapse video, I saw multiple time lapses of different and the same things, but with different angles. I saw the waves cross onto the beach and retreat many times, with the boats moving with them, and I saw the clouds rolling by,  the people and traffic going along their business. I also saw the steam from the falls, and the water flowing from the falls. I also saw a lot of houses, and all of the miniature movement going on. Joe Capra of Scientifantastic was the maker of the video. He is a photographer as well as a timelapser. This video was shown at session 1 of TEDGlobal 2014. The words underneath the video talk about the clothes flapping, the waves lap on the beach with a rhythm, and the steam dancing off the waterfall. I learned that that is how water looks like in a time-lapse, and how much boats move in a day, and that there is a waterfall near Rio.

Ethics of Manipulated photos review

I believe that small mistakes in shooting the photo could be manipulated, that is alright. But completely changing something in the photo when it is no longer true or real, that is too far. Removing makeup, or things that were prepared for before the photo being shot is okay, or removing something like a hand or another small merger is alright. But removing people or adding people should definitely not happen at all. Those people were in the photo, so deal with it. Take another photo, and be careful this time. If it can be avoided, never manipulate images. Especially if you are delivering news, if you manipulate images, that news you are delivering with that image is fake. You should take photos to show what happened, not what you wanted to happen.

The 3 pillars of Photography Review

Aperture- Aperture controls how much light goes into the camera. Aperture is measured in f-stops, where the smaller the f-stop, the more light goes into the picture and the bigger the hole. A larger f-stop will also make the foreground clear and the background blurred out.

Shutter speed- Shutter speed is how fast the shutter takes the picture and allows light to come into the camera. Shutter speed is measured in seconds, and the larger the time, the more blurred moving objects are. With a short shutter speed, the camera takes a picture that looks as if time had stopped, and moving objects are still and clear. The darker the area you are shooting in, the longer you want the shutter speed to be.

ISO- With a higher ISO, you can freeze motion easier without a higher shutter speed. But with more ISO, the "noise " in the background increases. What that means is that your pictures become more gritty and pixelated. You can also increase the ISO for more light to come in, but you generally want to keep your ISO as low as possible.

The Rules of Photography Review

1. Rule of thirds- Imagine if you cut line down the face of your camera's screen to make a tic-tac-toe game, putting your subject in any of the places where the lines intersect would be using the rule of thirds.
2. Balancing Elements- Balancing the photo by putting something on each side of the photo makes sure there isn't blank space that makes the picture pretty empty.
3. Leading Lines- Including lines leading to your subject, especially S lines, can make your photo more interesting.
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- Including any geometric shape or pattern whether man-made or natural will make the photo more eye catching.
5. Viewpoint- The photo could be made more interesting by changing the normal viewpoint of something. For example, instead going face to face, you could look at them from high up, or down low.
6. Background- Making the background simpler and less cluttered can make a photo much more neat and better than one with a distracting background.
7. Create depth- You can do this by including objects in the foreground, mid ground, and background. Mountains are a good example, with each farther mountain being a different color.
8. Framing- Use trees or other objects to literally frame your picture. Let them be around the sides of your picture.
9. Cropping- By cropping around the subject you make the viewer more focused on it and less on the distractions around it.
10. Mergers and avoiding them- Avoid objects in the picture that seem to be interacting, such as a man with a tree on top of his head. Also avoid cutting a person off, keeping only one random hand on the left side of your picture, for example.

Using a projector

Website: http://petapixel.com/2015/01/01/projector-brought-forest-turns-nature-glowing-wonderland/

I saw how two guys spent time in the woods using a projector to try to get cool illuminated images. They illuminated leaves, mushrooms, webs, bark, and even animals as well. they tried to use a projector in the woods where there wasn't really any flat ground, so they had to always adjust the projections.

My favorite photo on the website:

I chose this photo because the circles are on the mushrooms almost perfectly and the color of them match with the lighting. I just really thought it was cool, too. I can see lines in this photo because the circles kind of make you look at them, and there is balance because the amount of projected light is about the same on both sides of the photo. Photographer Tarek Mawad took this photo.

In the video on the website, it showed me how the forest looked like in the day and some of the future places that would have projections. Then, as it turned to night, they started showing all of the projections on the leaves, bark, animals, and the web they found. The photographer was Tarek Mawad, and there was an animator whose name was Friedrich van Schoor. It says the both made the video together. The story says that the two artists had wondered if projections could be made on bumpy, uneven surfaces, and decided to try it out. With a computer, projector, and a DSLR on a slider, they captured the shot of the forest glowing with the projections. I learned that projections can be made pretty well on uneven, bumpy surfaces and that some really cool projections can be done in nature.

4.  This is not ethically acceptable because these people you show as "models" don't exist. You edited people to better suit your needs. Don't lie to the people and show them someone that doesn't exist.

5. Yes, there are circumstances where to manipulate a photo would be more ethically wrong. It can depend on what you are doing the manipulation for.

6. Slight, small changes are okay, or removing some makeup, but definitely not changing a huge part of a person, like their eyes, legs, neck, or arms.

7. In fashion photography, they photographers only want to get a good image. In photojournalism, the photographers want to get good pictures, but honest pictures as well that give some knowledge.

8. Different kinds of photography have different goals to achieve, so the ethical practice of each type can vary. Photojournalism is more about news, and Fashion photography is more about looks. So is photojournalism editing is strict, while in fashion photography it is way more common.

9. I think you are showing us this for us to learn about the kind of manipulation of images going on and for us to choose what we think about it.

10. Maybe because women are edited more photographically than men.

Magazines Part II

Early Magazine Covers- Rarely there were pictures, and if there were, they were symbolistic of the whole magazine and illustrated. The cover would look like a book, with mostly small text and blank page. There could be small words at the top or bottom telling one of the topics found inside.

The Poster Cover- During this time, the covers were full illustrated pictures, again with little get on the front. If there was text, it would be small and at the bottom. The picture just conveyed a certain mood or season, instead of the story inside.

Pictures Married to Type- These covers have both a picture and captions, where the picture and text both make space for each other. The pictures look like they have the most say. Models could overlap the magazines title. The lines would be positioned around the model to give them space and show balance.

In the Forest of Words- These covers also have pictures and words, but the words have the most say here. The pictures are often overlapped by the differently sized and colored text. The people in the picture even sometimes look like they are putting themselves in a weird position to make space for the text that would go right over them.

My Favorite Cover

My Favorite Cover Portrait:

Its description: FamilyFun, August 2014, Road Trip

"For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids."

I really liked this photo because of all of the elements in the picture that are interesting, such as the clothes, burger, and the blue bottle. The kid in the photo gives a happy, treasure-moment kind of feel. With their eyes directed at something else, you feel as you are just there, and that no one is staring at you creepily. The dark around the edges makes it more framed on the kid, showing the subject. The clothing gives it a more special and unique feel, as well as spontaneous(I couldn't think of another word). The kids eyes look like they are looking at the star in the picture, which I think was probably a mistake, but I'm, not sure.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part 1

    I think the top 3 best tips were to:

• Shoot Candidly
• Play with eye contact
• Play with background

Environmental Portraits

I liked this photograph because it shows the subject at a different angle tun most of the others, which is up front. I picked this photo because of that change in position.

I liked this photo because the guitar strings make you follow them to the subject. Not many other photos had lines like this, and this photo really shows ht this person likes to do. 

Photography Self Portraits

I like this photo because of its creativity of being both black and white and color. It makes me feel as he is describing himself as a photographer and a painter, as he paints color on his face. I chose this photo in the end just for its creativity

I liked this photo because of the joke it makes. You shoot photos, you shoot self-portraits. The portrait is of him, so he "shoots" himself, making a pose as if he is putting a gun to his head. The black and white color puts a fake sad and solemn mood.

Casual Portraits

I liked and chose this photo because this is exactly what I think of when I hear casual. People or a person in their everyday lives, but friendly and aware of the photographer and camera.

I liked this photo because it is casual, and the background laughing makes for a homey, cozy, welcome feel. You can tell the subject does know the photographer personally, unlike a stranger.

    

    

    I will probably shoot my friend in his house, doing whatever he likes to do, probably playing tennis. I could have him standing with a racket and looking at the camera with the chain fence in the background. I could also have him looking like he is playing while I'm on the side getting him  naturally reacting with the environment. Both of those places could be at the Grey Rock Gold Club, or at the tennis court at Bowie. It would be up to him. Either way, I would try to make sure it was still bright, not darker in the evening. If he is playing, I would try not to let him notice me so he can react naturally. I can try to get a picture when a tennis ball is on the right side of the screen and he is on the other. The lines on the tennis court could be used by leading the viewer of the photo up to him. 

Love and Loss

    I felt like in the beginning I was an intruder to their privacy, and then I felt sadness during the story and and shock at when she died at the end.

    I think that comment shows that those pictures were not like them, those pictures didn't capture their personality, the pictures were their personality, for each moment. Those pictures didn't just showed their personality, but all of their personality and being.

    I definitely do not think I could take photos like these in that situation, for I couldn't take such good photos and capture them so well. I wouldn't be able to take out the camera, I would be lost in the moment.

    If I wrote Angelo a letter, I would compliment him for his photos and skills and say sorry for his loss. I would write and ask "What is the difference between the definition of a person and who they are? The details?"

American Soldier: Ian Fisher

    I think the most powerful image in the slideshow is the one when he is holding a gun and staring off to the distance. I think that because it gives a feeling of loss, reflection, and peace. It shows how much he had changed over the time spent in the army.

Set 1 - at home - Image #1 to Image #3
Set 2 - basic training - Image #4 to Image #12
Set 3 - in Iraq - Image #13 to Image #27
In Image #28 he is back at home in Denver

    I think Set 3 was the most powerful because first it was the longest and had the most amount of story, or pictures. I also think that because in the other two sets there was more happiness, but now there is a lot more deeper feelings.



    The images show you through each stage he experienced in the army. They progress you slowly and carefully through time to show you the story as it happened well. The only abrupt images was the one at the end and the one before it, because it showed no intermission stage. You cam see Fisher slowly change, with almost no sets of images that disrupt the flow and speed the story goes at.

    In the images in which Ian Fisher is in, the captions are usually written in present tense. The captions enhance the photographs by explaining what is happening in them and what Fisher is feeling at that moment in time. The captions tell you background information about the photos and explain the photos if you couldn't understand it by looking at it. 

    Ian Fisher needed something to do in his young life, so he joined the army. The separation from family and friends hurt him while he got ready and left for basic training. Fisher learns discipline and what to look out for. Meanwhile, he proposes to a girlfriend, but later they break up. He then gets many injuries and starts taking multiple drugs, such as pain relievers. Finally, he gets pulled into action, and must always have tense attention. He later does patrols and examines the life going on around him. He finally at the end goes back home, changed from his experiences.

Abandoned Theme Parks and Places

    I would visit Glen Echo because it is really old, you are allowed to go in, and there are sometimes people there, so its not as creepy. I would also really like to see the design of the old buildings and what rides they had. A foreign park I would visit would be Okpo Land, because all the rides and attractions are intact and left there. Also, there are people living nearby.

Glen Echo ^, Okpo Park -->

    Other 5 places you could document:

• Old Castles
• Old unused theaters, backstage where there are props
• Paris Catacombs
• Deserted towns/cities
• Abandoned Subways

    Bannerman Castle- New York

    I think it could be really interesting to document this location because I could see the castle walls and the doors from the time that this castle was made. I like castles because it would be fun to explore how life would be back then, and what was daily life back then. I could probably expect some photos of crumbling buildings and walls, and hopefully some intricate design inside of the actual castle.

    I would probably need to be prepared for a hike, as the castle is on a steep hill, and a durable camera with a strap so it wouldn't fall, and if it did it wouldn't be too damaged. I would also need to get a plane ticket to New York and buy food and the closest trip to the castle once I'm there. I may have to make sure that I am allowed to take pictures there and that I don't break anything once I'm there. I may need camp gear if the castle is really isolated.

Africa

    I am absolutely stunned towards the photos Brandt has taken. I dint think I could have ever waited weeks for one shot. The time he waits for the perfect photo shows how much he feels about that region and topic of poaching. I never thought that the poaching in Africa was so severe, and that the Chinese payed $6,000 for a kilo of ivory.

Favorite Photo:

    Lion Before Storm II

    This shows a lion facing into the wind as a storm approaches. I like this photo because you rarely see photos of a lion lie this, facing into the wind. I never knew there was such wind there, it never reached my mind. I also like this photo because I recognize how close this photographer must have gotten, only a few feet away from a lion. This photo just has that something else, that feeling that makes you feel as if you were there. This photo definitely has simplicity, as there is not much clutter in the photo, and the subject is clear. The photographer also frames the lion with the black edging on the sides and corners. 

   Nick Brandt uses a Pentax 67II with only 2 fixed lenses. This is important, as he shows in all of his photos the importance of being up close to the subject, and being able to feel as if you were in the photo.  He takes these photos to memorialize the diminishing grandeur of East Africa before it is destroyed by man. By taking these photos, he hopes that people will remember the land, animals, and overall nature of East Africa when it is gone. 

"There is something deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa—those vast, green rolling plains punctuated by graphically perfect acacia trees under the huge skies."-Nick Brandt

Funny Captions

Here, Joe, Madison, and Catherine seem to have forgotten what they were protesting at the Senior Creek Facility. They don't know that they were protesting confusion, so they would stop getting confused. So confusing!

Here, Bill is not surprised for his 100th birthday at all. He always had said that you should get as many candles as how old you are becoming. Now he had to blow them all out.

Here, Betty is looking at the camera after looking through binoculars, but the binocular's grease has made a rim around her eyes. She aced the cameraman to help her find the bird. Her husband Joseph is trying to hide his laugh behind the newspaper, as he told her there was a beautiful bird in the distance, even though there was none.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

    With Ansel Adams, I think what really captured my attention was the nature and how it was portrayed, in that position he was in to take the photo. I wonder how long it took to get him in that location, how did he choose that location, where was he, what were his surroundings. I love that he chooses those certain times to take the photos, and the view from where he was perched. I feel like normally the views look amazing, but with Ansel Adams, they look breathtaking. These photos are some in which I wonder such things, and admire the view:

    1st Photo: I see the landscape, with its river and mountains. I see the trees sway in the breeze. I see the river moving.
                     I smell the morning rain, with its sweetness. I smell the tree's almost bitter scent. I smell the mud near where i was sitting.
                     I hear the birds chirping. I hear the river flow, with its endless noise. I hear the crunch as his shoes crunch the grass, trying to take the perfect shot.
                     I taste the snow from the mountain. I taste the humidity in the air. I taste my trail mix, after a long hike here.
                     I feel the wind blowing against my face, lightly then strongly. I feel amazed and humbled by the scenery. I feel peace, inside and outside my body.

    2nd Photo: I see the mountains and ridges in the wood. I see the flower's beauty and intricate ridges. I see the flower balance itself on the wood, shifting.
                      I smell the flower decaying, with its sweet smell. I smell the driftwood's wet-ish smell, after how many hours in water. I smell
                      I hear the creaking of the wood. I hear the silence as he takes the shot, then the click. I can almost hear his satisfaction.
                      I taste the scent in my mouth. I taste the water dripping from the wood, then regret it. I taste impatience in my mouth, waiting to speak out.
                      I feel the engraving in the wood. I feel the wood's moisture, having been lifted out of the lake. I feel the flowers tenderness and softness.

    I would like to make either a PowerPoint or a little flyer to show people Ansel Adams. The Powerpoint could be shared online, and the flyer could be printed out and put on the walls of the school.

Mural Project

   
    We could make a club theme here around the school by going to known clubs and photographing what they are doing. I think we could put the mural on one of the walls of the library, maybe between F and E hall or A and B hall. We should take the photos mostly on iPhones, for I think that would be pretty interesting, but for the people who don't have phone cameras on the regular cameras.

Peer Review

2 things I like about her photos is 1) that she got up close to her subjects, and 2) that her last photo has a lot to look at. One thing that could be improved is that she could have some more photos, or she could change her perspective a bit.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

    The first challenge was which class would be interesting and which should I go to? Near the end of the shoot, the challenge was how many more photos I could fit in. When shooting, I thought about the focus by trying to stay still and half-pressing the shoot button. If I could do the shoot again, I would definitely try to get more classrooms, as well as trying to get the students perspective and getting more simplicity. I would definitely want to go to the guitar class and take those photos I took in there. I think the easiest rule to achieve is absolutely the rule of Thirds. I think the hardest rules to achieve are the balance and framing (in that order). I not still clear on the framing rule, as I don't know whether the framing has to be almost all around the subject. I could try and figure out what the rule is by looking at other photos and trying to put my subjects slightly framed by poles or trees.

Academics Photo Shoot

 In this photo, I followed the rule of Thirds by putting the guy in the bottom right. The subject in this photo is the guy studying on his laptop. I believe that to people it would be VERY clear who or what the subject was, as he was the only person in the picture.

In this photo, I tried to do the balance rule by making an obtuse triangle with the positions of the 4 people in the photo. The main subject here is the teacher, while the sub-subjects being the students. I think to people seeing this picture, it would be somewhat clear as to who I wanted them to see. I would definitely want to take another picture, to get rid of that annoying merger with the teacher's hand and the first student on the right's head.

In this photo, I attempted to follow the framing rule by framing the people studying with the chair and table in the bottom left. The subjects are the two groups studying, the one to the left more than the right. I don't think people would be as sure about the subjects on this photo. I could have tried to take a photo of one group instead of the two.

In this photo, I followed the rule of thirds by putting the teacher in the bottom right. The main subject here is the teacher, while the sub-subjects are again the students. I think it would be fairly clear to people that the main subject is the teacher, as he is closest to the camera and therefore "bigger". One thing I want to attempt is maybe making a student a main subject, and the teacher in the background as the sub-subject?

The 3 Pillars of Photography

Aperture

    You should closely relate aperture to the pupil in your eye, because they both control how much comes in your eye/lens. The smaller the aperture the more light let in, the larger the aperture the less light let in. That is what makes aperture confusing for so many people. A large f-number (f-number is a measurement of aperture) will make the foreground clear and the background blurry. A small f-number will make the foreground focused again but the background much clearer compared to a larger f-number.

Examples:

The left is at f2.8, the right at f14

Shutter Speed

    When the day has reasonable light:
a) high
b) low
c) high
d) high
e) low
f) high

    When the sun has gone down and you can't see one end of the courtyard to the other:
a) high
b) low
c) high
d) low
e) low
f) high

    In aperture priority mode, the camera chooses your shutter speed and you set the aperture. In Shutter priority mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. In manual mode, you set both the aperture and shutter speed.

Picture with high shutter speed

Picture with slow shutter speed

ISO   

    The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sports game is that it helps to freeze motion, which reduces the need for higher shutter speed. The author said to stick to a low ISO whenever possible, to keep the quality of the photo. Also, he said you might want to use lower ISO in dim and dark environments. You want to increase the ISO when there is not enough light to capture an image quickly, or when you want to get ultra-fast shots.

Example of ISO difference:

As you can see, the higher ISO is grainier, or has more "sound"

Paintings every Photographer must study

    Top three (in my opinion) tips of advice for photographers:

• The most recognized painting in the world has a lot to teach photographers, mainly connection with your subject. As has been said before, that smile says a lot about the connection between the painter and the subject. That is what every photographer should be looking for when they take a portrait and one of the reasons why this is such a memorable image. 

• Photography, like painting before it, has an instinctual basis. The need to show someone else something with an image. Learning new techniques is fun but they should not get in the way of that id urge, that basic feeling of wanting to show someone else a picture. Before you think about composition, lighting and technique, do you first have something you want to show someone else. 

• Most photographers look for that moment, that bigger than life explosion of happening that hooks people in. Nighthawks is a soft hook. This is a photo that grabs your attention because it is so quiet. Photographers also have to be on the lookout for these quiet moments as well.

    My favorite painting from this website: Nighthawks

    Picture very similar to it:

    I do think the photographer tried to capture the photo, and I do think he semi-captured the painting's idea of quiet and peace. I do feel that if the photographer had moved away, to give the people some space and to make the photo seem quieter and isolated, instead of in your face, in a sort of way.

    I think the paintings that would influence me are the naturalistic ones, and the quiet ones, such as Nighthawk and the Bathing at La Grenouillere.

Website here.

Christian Rhum's Unusual Photos

    I personally liked his photos because I thought they were interesting and unique. I also thought how long making those photos must take, and all the different positions he must have tried to make that photo.
    I think he made these photos by taking 3 different simple pictures in different positions, and combined them, or making a copy of the same photo and putting it on top of the other on an angle.
    I think if he took the Statue of Liberty, that would be another good landmark. The Statue of Liberty is in New York City on Liberty island, and I think you could get in a good position to take it somewhat easily.

My Favorite photo of his works:

Favorite Photo from Academics and Community Service

    The photo I picked was the 1st one, it had a guy wearing safety goggles pour 2 liquids in separate beakers into one purple liquid in a large beaker. I picked that photo because it was simple, it was purely academic, and it personally amazed me. The rules of photography I saw were Simplicity, Lines, and Balance.

    I think I could try to take these kinds of photos I saw in a science class or in the library. I would like to visit either Mr. Mayfield's science class or Ms. Hanson's spanish class. To try and get these photos, I will try to make my photos have some sort of action in it and try to get in the right position.

Filling the Frame

    This photo fills the frame with the volunteers handing out food to the homeless. The frame is filled by the homeless, the volunteers, the bags and buckets, food, and just a whole lotta stuff in general.

Action and Emotion

    I believe that this is the best emotion because in the photo the girls showed excitement and wonder at what was happening. The action in this photo is the liquid going everywhere because of something the girls put in it.
