PHOTO MANIPULATION AND ETHICS
A.Basically the story speaks about how when most photographers use cloning or manipulation they get caught. Now although editing the photos makes your story way more cooler you can get fired for it. Also if youre not a pro at cloning or manipulating you can cause distortion in your pictures. In other words you should just leave pictures as they are.
B.In my opinion i think that manipulating is unethical becuase you shouldnt mess with imagery like that. Imean youre just being a hipocrite and just putting youre opinion into it;and people arent looking for youre opinion they are looking for the truth.
A2.The most unethical photo was the one of Saddam and bush debating because that could cause alot of fighting in debating and it would cause alot of chaos in the politics section.
B2.the least unethical photo was of Mary Ann screaming nest to millers dead body at Kent state. The reason i dont think this photo is that bad is because i mean times magazine didnt do nothing;all they did was just inhanse the photo a little bit so you can see it better. The reason i dont really think that this photo was as bad as the others is because like i said times magazine didnt do nothing but inhanse the photo. In the other pictures they really did some harmful things to the subjects.

negatives evaluation
1.in my opinion i think that most of my photos turned out well but i think i jsut needed differnt angles.
2.one photo looked like it did not turn out well.
3.the picture i think that is going to turn out well is the one of a boy writing on a pice of paper and his hat on his lap.
4.in my best photo i think i have a bit of an angle and also and i have great focus.
the evidince of the photo having great focus is because you can really tell waht all is in the photo and the subject has not type on blurryness.
5.in my opinion i think i have rule of thirds.

marlbolo marine
2A.Other skills he needed to produce this slide show exactly what you wrote he needed editing and audio of course because without those he would not be able to make the slide show actually interesting.
2B.The meaning of this slide show was to say that although it is a celebration for our soldiers to come back from fighting we should think about what they went through and make sure they are fine;about half the soldiers that come back have suicidal thoughts or they are depressed for what they went through.Basically the meaning was to I guess kind of get a feeling of what it feels like to be a marine or solider or what ever type of hero that fought for our country.
3A.The most powerful image of the slide show was the picture of people dead on the the floor squished by by the concrete because those are the images that the marine probably got in his head a million times a day ; and that's what probably made him want to go suicidal.
3B.???
3C.The audio enhances the photographs because it gives the photos more depth and makes you feel as if you are really there.
3D.The images work together to tell a story because its as if the photographer caught every dramatic moment in this marines life so we could get what was going on.

american slideshow captions
2a.I think the most powerful image was the one of freshman's and the seniors because it shows the "freshman" in the army lined up and no one is out of line and then the "seniors" (i guess if that's what you want to categorize them as ) just hanging there already with their uniforms on; i don't know its just a powerful picture.
2b.The basic training was the most powerful album because it shows what these soldiers actually have to go through and it shows the trust that they have for each other and the friendship they have to.
2c.The images work together to tell a story because just the emotion that was put into the picture and how they caught special moments for Ian..basically the pictures work perfect for each other in the sequence they are in and it looks like so much emotion was put into the pictures.
3a.Most of the photo captions were written in past tense.
3b. The captions enhance the photographs because although you can sort of tell whats happening in the photos the captions gives you a better idea of what is going on and gives you a feeling that you are there and you can actually feel whats going on.
4a.under chapter 5:army blues,on the 3rd row,the last picture,Ian is gathering with a couple of Friends as they party it up.
5a.?????
5b.Videos are better than photographs because they give you actual movement and they tell you what is going on every second of the video. its also better because you don't have to read captions.
5c.At times photos can be better than videos because sometimes you just want to capture one moment forever,and on a video you can do that but its going to keep on moving,but on a photo you can just keep on staring at it and nothing will change and you can look at that prefect moment forever with worrying of it disappearing in a second or having to keep in rewinding it.

post shoot reflection
1.One thing that I did not struggle with was getting close to my subject;but the subjects that I was trying to shoot did have a problem with it. One thing that I did struggle with was that I really did not get really any of my pictures at an angle because i was going to but i was cared that the teachers were going to get mad at me if they saw me getting on the chairs or lying on the ground.
2.I got to say that I think I did a horrible job because i really didn't get any angles and i feel as if i wasn't really concentrating on any type of technical aspects of photography.
3.well I got to say that i did want to use symmetry but i had nothing to do that with and back round as well, but in all the classrooms i had no regular backgrounds behind the students that i was shooting.
4.Next time I know to get closer and to not be scared and think of some actual technique when I'm shooting.

know wonder doctors get so much money.although this is a cruel and unusual trick it got patients in right,but hey when it comes down to it moneys,money right and now a days people will do anything for it.
here we were for all these years just using meat as if it only had one purpose ... i guess we were wrong considering there is now 101 purposes for meat now...where have we been???? now you can wear meat in a fashionably way( don't you know that its on season)..just stay away from stray animals.
Matthew tries to pick a fight with a fellow friend,but he picked the wrong person or shall i say the wrong animal to do it with. As Matthew tries to do this to Henry ( the chicken ) tries to peck him.....although Matthew does look like he could be part of the barn, Henry just wont take it.processing black and white film
The fist thing you need to do is put the film onto a reel and place it in the tank. you will have to learn to do this in the dark but until then you will need some tools:film cassette ,can opener,film reel,tank and tank cover;you ll need to memorize where they are..and you're ready.
step 1:in complete darkness you need to remove the film cassette,then you need to pull the flat end off the 35mm canister with a can opener,unwind the film and take the end out of the film from the spool by peeling off the tape that hold it together.
step 2:Load the film onto either a metal or plastic film reel. For beginners, plastic might be easier to learn . With plastic, you just slide one end of the film into a slot on the outer part of the reel and "walk" the film in until its loaded. Metal needs more experience, which might not be that easy to load into a metal reel in the dark.
you should try to do this process a couple of times with a film roll in light so you can get the hang of it...after you feel good about doing it with your eyes open try doing it with your eyes closed ( because that is how its going to feel when you're in the dark room )..once you're really confident then you can actually start the process( but make sure the film doesn't have nothing that important so that if you mess up you wouldn't mess something up that meant a lot.)
step 3: Place the loaded reel in the film tank ad cover it as you were instructed to. now that the film is in a container which no light can seep thrugh. You can turn on the light.
now youre ready to process the film.
step 4:
you have to make sure that the temperature of the chemicals is controlled ( especially the soup ). Development time is directly affected by two things: the speed of the film and the temperature of the developer. Most people suggest 68-70 degrees as the best temperature for processing the film, but you can develop at different temp. as long as you make adjustments in other things.( depending on what kind of brand you use..you can have different temp.)
Most film is processed between 65 and 75 degrees. Higher temperatures could lead to "reticulation". that can be something fun to play with but not if you're a beginner and trying to get the best negative.
step 5:
Pour developer into the open part of the closed film tank, (a.k.a.) the pour spout, and then cover it. Dont open the tank itself!!!! To keep fresh chemical on the film surface, agitation is essential throughout the process. To agitate, just turn the tank upside down once a minute. When it is upright again, tap it several times against your table to take off any air bubbles that might form themselves on the film during agitation. if you don't the bubbles will leave marks.
step 6:
Pour running water into the pour spout for a minute to stop the development. or you can mix a small amount of glacial acetic acid with water and let the film sit in that for 30 seconds to wash off the developer. Either method is known as a stop bath.
step 7:now its time to fix the picture so you can see it in light. make sure to use a fixer with hardener since that will help protect the negative from getting scratched easily. Fixing takes 5-10 minutes, depending on if you used a normal or rapid fixer. At the end of the fixing time, you could actually look at the negatives although you'll probably want to wait until everything is finished.
step 8:
Since you dont have to worry about exposing the film , remove the tank cover completely and let the film sit in cold running water for 5 minutes. You can pull out a bit of film to look at it and make sure your negatives are there.
step 9:
now you need to remove any kinds of traces of white stains. Pour in a tankful of Hypo Eliminator (also called hypo clearing agent ) and agitate for two minutes.
step 10: you need 1 final wash to finish( for 5 min. )
step 11:
carefully pull the film out but dont touch it because you will mess it up. Use washing pins or film clips to hang the film to dry in a dust-free area.
step 12:
In about 1-2 hours, the film will be dry. Use scissors to cut the film into 6 negatives long. be careful when you cut so you dont cut youre picture. Store the negatives in clear glassine envelopes or PVC plastic negative pages.
and then youre finished!!!!!
