Photoshopped Photos:

Photo 1      Photo 2    1. What caught my eye about these photos is how much was going on and how you could see a story unfolding in the photo. In the first photo I can see how much work is put into this persons business. In the second photo I can see a family running this business with their kids complaining that they have to be there to help out.  2. - I see 2 hard working successful businesses.      - I smell either gasoline and oil or seafood.      - I hear people talking and having a good time (2) and metal crashing down on the ground when         someone drops it (1).        - I taste many different kinds of fish (2) and sweat coming from my body in the hot summer sun (1).      - I feel tired from a long day at work in the sun. When I first saw this photo I caught a glimpse of what like was like back 50-60 years ago. Life was simple. You got up, went to work, get paid, and come home to your family. These people weren't caught up in drama from technology

1. Some main points that I gathered from this website is how they mainly changed how the person looked. If the person was "too fat" they edited it, if they were to dark, they edited it, or even if they had something wrong with their face it was edited. In some ways this was a good thing but it started going to far when they would edit someone out of a photo or edit it so much that you have a different perspective on it. 2. The philosophy of the Washington Post and New York Times is to never change the original lighting of the photo. 3. I think it's ok to edit a picture if it's very minor. In my opinion getting rid of a zit, making your teeth whiter, or even making yourself look a little bit skinnier is ok with me because it's not changing the main focus of the photo. 4.   In my opinion this photo is photoshopped so much that people begin to have the wrong impression on the situation. Newsweek magazine edited it so much to wear it made the viewer think that th

1. One thing that was really challenging for me was getting people to allow me to take photos of them. Sometimes they would be like get away from me which made things very difficult. Another thing that was challenging was finding simple backgrounds. In many teachers rooms they have many different posters or colored walls that clash with all the posters on their walls. 2. The big thing that I kept thinking about was if I was actually getting a rule in my photo and to not just to take a photo without thinking about it. 3. I would make sure to have more simple backgrounds and to go get more interesting photos that tell a story. 4. I would keep getting people who are working in the hallways because it's easier to make simpler backgrounds. 5. I think that rule of thirds will be the easiest to take. 6. I think that framing will be the hardest to take. 7. I understand all of the rules. Peer Review: https://sadiesphotomagic.blogspot.com 1. I liked how her photos told a story, mul

1. In this photo I used lines. 2. The subject of this photo is the two girls working in their worksheet. 3. Yes she is the only person in the photo. 1. In this photo I used avoiding mergers. 2. The subject in this photo is the boy working on his homework. 3. Yes because he is the only human closest to the the camera but the background can also draw the viewers eye. 4. In this photo I could of gotten closer to the subject to get rid of all of the distractions in the photo. 1. In this photo I used rule of thirds and avoiding mergers. 2. The subject in this photo is the boy doing work on his Chromebook. 3. Yes because the background is very simple which leads the viewers eye right to him but the different colors of the background can be very distracting. 4. I could bring my camera up to just get the chalkboard in the background so it's more simple.

The Story    This tells a story by the girl being in shock. It makes the viewer not only want to know what happened but they can come up with what they think happened in their mind. When I see this photo I see two girls who followed their teachers instructions correctly but they had no idea what type of reaction was going to happen from this experiment. When they were finally done and the reaction happened it was much bigger than the girls expected and they were very surprised. Hence the surprised faces. Action and Emotion This photo shows emotion by this girl being so emotionally involved. She's singing her heart out to portray the feeling that her character is feeling so the audience knows what's going on. If this girl had no emotion the audience would not be engaged with the performance. The girl would be going through the motions and have a bored look on her face and the whole audience would be on their phones out of boredom. Emotion is what makes not only the play bu

1. The main challenges I found for these topics around bowie was not shooting in glass. In my camera the glass had a really bad reflection and I couldn't use the photos. Another challenge was being creative with what item I wanted to use for these topics. Bowie is a big campus and it can be challenging to find exactly what I wanted to use. 2. What I thought about the most was if my camera was in focus. I ended up with a camera that did not have automatic focus so I had to do it myself. It's not a bad thing it just made me pay attention to see if the photo was actually in focus. 3. What I found myself changing was the angle and the actual item that I wanted to use. 4. In my four photo I ended up using framing, lines, simplicity, and balance. 5. I would not want to shoot these prompts again because they were somewhat hard to shoot in out school. 6. I would want to do nature, sports, and blue. 7. https://campbellsphotoj.blogspot.com I really liked the picture of the flower
