Final Extra Credit

1. The man was being harassed and was pushed and fell over the tracks edge. The photographer was able to capture the photo because he ran just in time as the train was coming but did not help him.
2. Because the photographer was unable t help the man himself, he thought that using the flash from his camera would be a warning sign to the train.
3. I don't think the photographer should of of taken photos, instead he should of attempted to help the man.
4. I think the photographer could of done more by trying to lift him out so that the man could of possibly lived but then again the train was already there.
5. I think it was a cool picture to put on the cover and had an interesting story attached to it but it did also create hate and questions against the photographer.
6. I think the most important thing for a photojournalist is capturing images of life as it happens, because they know that life isn't perfect and they just can't capture the good things they see but they also have to get some bad. I also think that it's part of their job to get images like this.
7. I think it is acceptable for a photojournalist to get involved just because it is considered the right thing to do but then again it's their job to capture these types of situations.
8. I don't think photojournalists should always ignore serious situations like these but its understandable why they do.
9. I think the most appropriate response would be to take the picture because he already had to run to get the photograph and the train had already arrived so by the time he got their to try it would of been no help anyways.

Rule of Thirds: This rule means to separate a photo into 3 imaginary segments, with one segment containing the subject on the left or right. 
Balancing Elements: The idea of this rule is to create a balance within the photo and to have mostly equality on each sides and around the subject. 

Leading Lines: This rule means that somewhere in the photo, there will be lines that lead towards or away from something significant, usually the subject.  
Symmetry and Patterns: This rule repeats an element to draw attention to it or uses shapes and patterns to do so.

Viewpoint: This rule focuses on the position and angle the photo is taken in (ex. bird's/worm's eye view, side of subject taken).

Background: A simple and plain background that doesn't distract or merge into the subject making an emphasis on the subject.

Create Depth: This effect creates focus on a certain point and gives the photo layers, like making it seem close up or far away. 

Framing: Using objects in the photo to enclose around the subject and emphasize it. 

Cropping: Cutting off part of the photo and keeping only important pieces.
Mergers and Avoiding them: Mergers are when the subject connects into another object in the photo or gets cut off, can be avoided with a plain background, 

Aperture: Focusing on certain objects. Small apertures include entire photo including background. Large apertures focus on only a certain area.


Shutter Speed: The speed the shutter closes. This effects the light that enters the lens as well as how fast of a motion you can capture.


ISO: This effects the sensitivity of the photo. You determine the ISO with light so you don't get a grainy photo.

It is acceptable to make minor changes and possibly changing the background. It is not acceptable to distort bodies completely and provide false expectations.

Environmental: When the subject interacts with an object or is put in a background that 
describes their personality

Self: A portrait of the photographer taken by the photographer.


Casual: A non-formal portrait that captures the subject unexpectedly.

Exposure: The amount of light cause by shutter speed and aperture.


Depth of Field: The amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects in the photo.


Focal Length: The distance from the lens to the subject.

4. I don't think it is ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance in these photos because it's lying about what they really look like.

5. I think it would be more ethically wrong to do this when selling a product and using it for sales then just to do because the business ends up lying about the product and telling the models that they aren't good enough.

6. I think minor edits like taking away blemishes and changing skin color are okay but completely transforming a women's body and making a fat women skinny is not okay.

7. Photojournalism is very real and true to what it says and fashion photography is manipulative and fake, it's not true to what it states to be.

8. Each type of photography is changed a little bit to what the reality of the picture really is. Whether its just changing the colors of drastically changing a body type. It affects the ethical practice of each by saying that its okay to change an image even though reality is, it really isn't.

9. I think you are showing us these videos not only to teach us about self image but so that we know how unrealistic photography can be and the powers of photoshop.

10. I think non of these videos are of guys because girls have more self image problems and they easier to take advantage of. I also think at time women are more pleasing to the eye when it comes to selling a product depending on what it is.
