FASHION

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully) Basically everything was changed in the ladies face in the video. They fixed her hair, Put make up on her & Edited the picture they took of her.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not? I mean it all depends on the person that's getting there picture taking. If they feel like it's right then it's ok. If not then it isnt.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation? I don't think so unless the person getting there picture taking is ok with it.

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? I dont think its ok to change types of food pictures because they never look like like what they do in pictures but if your taking a picture of a person its up to them i think.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. Fashion is more of editing the picture and photojournalism is more real!

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? Gives emotion

Lytro warm-up & Ethics in fashion photography

 1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? The photo became more realistic and sharper it also whe you clicked the photo it made what was suppose to stand out more even more and blurred out everything else more that you didn't click
2. How does this new camera work? The camera works as a touch screen, Where you can take the photo and change the settings to a photo from  swipe of your finger. It's a lot smaller then the average camera.3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about) photographer would have to know how to shoot in manual mode. The photographer would have to get used to the usual size of that camera.

4. Is it worth the money? I think it could be worth a lot only because how everything works.

I chose this picture because of the happiness shown.

 I chose this picture also because of the happiness shown by these 2 kids and how great the picture was taken.

Tip 1

There are several ways to approach self-portraits. One way is to frame an interesting composition and then, with your compact camera mounted on a tripod or another means of support, use the self-timer (if your camera has one) to trip the shutter after you get into position in front of the lens. Just remember that a self-timer will give you a very limited amount of time to get in position (usually 10 seconds). It helps if you can get a friend to be a stand-in until you can be there, or mark your spot with tape or chalk. 

Tip 2

 You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in. Place a mirror just behind the camera, and do your final posing in the mirror. This method also requires a self-timer, or a remote triggering device if your camera has one. Once again, if you use a self-timer, you'll need to get into position before it goes off.

The Camera

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved? Which is Latin for "dark room". This was the first camera. The hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.

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? A glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera? New cameras are very easy to use, just point and shoot. The camera's built-in computer handles focus and exposure so you don't have to.

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image? Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. And guess what? The end result is still a photograph.

Camera Modes

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode? Of all the shooting modes, Auto/Program is probably the most useful. Most people don't really want to learn about how a camera works, and point and shoot photography is the perfect solution.

The fully automatic (A)uto or (P)rogram mode is the default for most modern cameras. The photographer can simply aim, press the button, and almost be guaranteed a great image.

7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work? To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work? To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible. 

 The Half Press

9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button? Focus Lock and Faster Full Press Response.

Controlling Flash

10. What does this symbol mean?  no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.

  11.What does this symbol mean? In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.

Introduction Exposure

12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light? Too much light and the picture will be washed out.

13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light? Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.

The Universal Stop

14. What is a “stop.” The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one? 1

 16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two? (Hint: the “show answer” feature is wrong). 2

Shutters & Arparture

17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have? More Light

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have? Less Light

19. What does the aperture control? Before light reaches film, it must pass through an opening called an "Aperture". The aperture is like a pupil. You can control the aperture by setting the "Aperture Opening", also known as an F-Stop.

20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light? It does so by closing up to restrict light, and opening up to let it through.

 Exposure - The act or an instance of exposing

Depth of field - The distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear Acceptably sharp in an image

F-stop - An optical system is the ratio of the lens focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a dimentionles number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed, an important concept in photogerfer.

Focal length - The distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus.

Single-lens- reflex (SLR) camera is a camera that typically uses a semi-automatic moving mirror System that permits the photographer

WAD UP!

I really like this photo because it's very detailed,

It also stands out. Out of all the pictures i have took of this guy, 

Adam Bondoc this came out the best.

Sadly to say this photo is the worst out of all of them.

Only because it doesn't look as detailed as the others & as clear. 

But overall it isn't as bad.
