final exam

.)Click on sever_drives first, then go to "my computer" Click on the "T" drive, click photojournalism folder, then click first period, then find your folder & open it.

2.)We use blogger.com to post our blogs.


3.)Get an empty oatmeal can, cover the inside all black, cover the lid with black too, on the outside make a square in the middle of the oatmeal can, then make a tiny hole with the needle, make sure no light gets in through the lid or through the hole, put a sheet of photo paper into the can, use a piece of tape to open & close the hole.


4.)When you open the tape light will get on to the paper causing a picture, the image is transferred to the paper because the light hits the paper & it makes the image appear, but you cant open the can in light you have to be in a dark room.


 Rule of thirds- lining the picture up with the two intersections.


5.)
Rule of thirds- placing the main subject on the intersection of two intersections.
Balancing Elements- placing the main subject off-center.
Leading Lines- having lines that lead you to the main subject.
Symmetry and Patterns- having the same thing on both sides of the picture, like a mirror.
Viewpoint- instead of just shooting from eye level, you can shoot from high above, down at ground level, from the side, from the back, from a faraway, from close up.
Background/simplicity- having a clear background & something that's not distracting.
Create depth- having stuff in the background from far away.
Framing- having a frame around your picture from something in the photo.
Cropping- cutting out all the unnecessary objects so that the viewer focusing on the main subject.


6.)Makes the picture better.

7.)It can tell a story because it captures every moment.

8.)Multimedia means like videos & pictures. We have taken pictures & watched videos in class.


9.)1st sentence: Subject--action verb (present tense) -- object -- how -- why -- when -- where

     The verb should be in present tense and the sentence should answer the 5Ws and 1H.

     2nd sentence: Subject--verb (past tense) --object (describes background [context] of the situation shown in the picture)

    The verb should be in the past tense and the sentence should provide background info we couldn't get from looking at the picture.  

10.)

10.  Strong action verbs enhance a caption because they make it more memorable.

11.  Photojournalists need to have a lot of ethics because their job is to write a story that goes along with the photo. They should enhance the photo and tell the background that the photo can't. If they change the photo then the story is not accurate and that's very unacceptable. Fashion photography is used for advertising the product in the photograph. For these photographers it's a little less wrong for them to manipulate the photo because they are still trying to enhance their product, however it is still wrong. 

12.  A portrait is a photograph or painting that someone takes of a person. A self-portrait is a photograph or painting that someone takes of themself.

13.  A good portrait should not only show the subject effectively, but it should also give some insight into their personality.

14.  Newspaper is all about writing articles and maybe having one photograph. It's also about writing articles about school issues. While yearbook is about designing spread for certain organizations and writing what they're all about.

 

Deff;

1. Aperture- A circle-shaped opening in a lens (a hole, really) through which light passes to strike the image sensor or the film. The aperture is usually created by an iris diaphragm that is adjustable, enabling the aperture to be made uniformly wider or narrower, thereby letting in more or less light. The size of the aperture is expressed as an f-number, like f/8 or f/11.

2. Shutter- A movable cover for an opening. In photography, that opening is the lens - more specifically, the aperture. The shutter blocks the passage of light traveling through the lens to the film when it is closed, and allows light to reach the film when it is open. Shutters are composed of blades, a curtain, a plate or another movable cover. They control the amount of time that light is allowed to pass through the opening to reach the film.

3. Exposure- (1) Exposure occurs when light is permitted to strike a digital camera's image sensor or a traditional camera's film - i.e. when the sensor/film is exposed to light. (2) Exposure is the total amount of light striking the sensor/film or other photographic material. (3) Also refers to a combination of shutter speed and aperture used in exposing the sensor/film in a camera, as in “My light meter shows an exposure (or an exposure reading) of 1/125 second at ƒ/11.” A particular aperture and shutter speed combinations are often referred to as “exposure settings.” “Proper exposure” refers to exposure that produces an image satisfactory to the photographer

4. F-stop- A lens aperture setting calibrated to an f-number

5. Single lens reflex- A camera with one lens only for both viewing and picture-taking. The image is reflected onto a viewing screen by a moveable mirror in the camera. The mirror flips out of the way just before the shutter opens, permitting light to strike the film.

6. Negative- An image in which the brightness values are reversed - that is, reproduced so that the lightest areas are the darkest, the darkest areas are the lightest, and intermediate tones are similarly reversed. "Negative” commonly refers to such an image on exposed and developed photographic film that is intended for use in making positive prints of the image.

7. Positive- Opposite of a negative - An image, such as print or a slide, with the same tonal values and colors as the original scene.

8. Contact sheet- A contact print made from several negatives at one time, usually an entire roll or whatever number of frames will fit on the print paper. The negatives actually come in "contact" with the printing paper, or as close as possible to the print paper when in a contact-printer negative holder.

9. Agitation- Gentle movement of liquid photo-processing chemicals (developer, stop-bath, fixer) during processing of film or paper in order to achieve uniform results.

10. Enlarger- An adjustable light projection device used in a darkroom to project an enlarged image from a negative through a lens onto photographic paper in various degrees of enlargement.

11. Stop bath- An acid bath or rinse (usually a weak solution of acetic acid) for stopping the action of a developer before fixing a negative or print.

12. Fixer- The chemical solution used for fixation. It removes any photo-sensitive silver-halide crystals that were not acted upon by light or by the developer.

13. Safe light- A lamp, typically in a darkroom, that allows a person to view light-sensitive material without it being altered by the light. The lamp is generally coated with or enclosed in a partially-translucent filter that screens out light rays to which the film or paper are sensitive.

14. Burning- Also known as "Printing in." In a darkroom, providing extra exposure to an area of the print to make it darker, while blocking light from the rest of the print.

15. Dodging- Blocking a portion of the light when printing a photograph or manipulating a digital image so that an area of the image will be made lighter.

Print evaluation - My first print

This class was separated into groups and there were doing projects

1.) Is anything in sharp focus? yes
a.) Describe what is in focus and what is not.

Well becuase if you look closely you can see her bracelate and the the little pictures in it too.

2.) Is there good contrast? (Look for the blacks and whites in the photo)?
Yeah there is but it kinda looks like really dull.

3.) Are all the rules followed? (Is the photo candid? Does the subject fill the frame? Does the photo contain action? Does it follow composition rules? Does it show "academics"?)
Well yeah i followed the steps i was given but know because i know i could of done a better job

4.) Is there yellowing or are there spots on the print?
a.) If yes, what caused it/them? Mmmmm yeah there is like one white spot but i think i might of mess up a little while making my big print

5.) Are there print rings or spots?
a.) If yes, state the probable cause. yeah there are at first i though it was like the water that might of done it but i guess i was the one doing that

6.) Are your negatives, contact sheet, test strip and print stored in your folder?

Portraits and self-portraits - start looking

 self-portrait

I like this picture because when i was little my mom use to make me to to them classes and i was soo little and i didnt like it but now dance is my passion and i love it !

professional portrait

I think what makes this photo good is that how is she poising,

Ethics in fashion photography

1. Okay well first they cover mostly everything that she had like her moles and then when they took some pictures of her she looked kinda ugly and what they did is that they edited the picture and lift up her head and cover some other things and then they fix some of her hair. In the computer they made her eyes bigger and her face to  look soft and nice
2. I don't think its right to change the way that model looks like but that's what models do right? and the people wants to see whats real or not   
3.  They said that the photos was so unaltered but it might be ethically different and wrong to do this. Ohh well her mole she probably don't like them she maybe thinks that she has a lot. They fix her up.
4. I think that Fashion photography is when they hired a model has to model some outfits accessories shoes home things anything  that is a brand and they want people to buy it.
5. Well i like the rule of thirds

Negatives Evaluation

1. Maybe like around 3 or soo
2. I think like about well Mmmmm most of them came out dark and black-ish, Okay well at first they were great but i screw everything up because when we went back in the dark room i clicked that peeping button two times and when i notice that i was only suppose to do it once i felt horrible i did it wrong, now there all ugly and dark eh :/
3. I think my 5th picture will turn out all right but i am not sure yet. But then again i think it will turn out okay because at the beginning i did a good job.
4.  The technical aspects in my photo are, focus, and exposure.The photo was very good and clear
   
5.  I think the one i will go for is rule or thirds because i see it in most of pictures
   

Photo Manipulation and ethics

A.The story was giving some Ex.. of some photographers that go too far off when using the photo manipulation and that can mess everything up like the photo. The thing about Aprils fool that  you have to lie to people and you have to prank them its pretty fun and enjoying but some people take it from the heart. I saw that one of the photographers you know decided to do a copy of a person in this one picture. That photographer was later on fired for that. Because he was scaring the people so yeah. Some of the main stories message is telling that photographers to be cautious with all the editing and all the manipulating with photos will be in public later on. This was one of the offense at most U.S daily bases newspaper.

B. I think it is acceptable to have photo manipulation and to change certain things in the picture well i think its kinda creative, and make it to something sooooo different its cool but then again its not cool if its a bad prank.

Drug Cartels in Mexico

Witness to violence: A photographer's journey below the border 

What i think about the topic is that it sounds kinda harsh because what i heard  that happens in the border is kinda sad when they want to cross the border they end up doing all these crazy things to get to the other side and if they cant  they have to walk all the way back were they came from, Some even die or get hurt but yeah i know more but its too much to say.

My favorite picture was when there was well it looked like the dad and the three little brothers or cousins along with him and they looked sad and disseminated but the grandfather and the son died and yeah they looked pretty upset.But its my favorite picture because you can actually feel what they are feeling inside you know. but its pretty sad that there's a lot of people getting murder every year

Making a black and white print

Equipment:

• Light tight film-processing tank that accepts the size of

film you plan to process

• Several quart jars or bottles (glass, stainless steel, or

plastic) for processing solutions

• Stirring paddle to mix solutions

• Soft viscose sponge

• Darkroom timer or a clock with a sweep-second hand

• Scissors

• Protective gloves to prevent skin contact with chemicals

• Spring-type clothespins for hanging processed film to

dry

To make prints, you’ll need this equipment:

• Printing frame or enlarger

• 8 x 10-inch piece of heavy cardboard

• Four photographic processing trays a little larger than

the largest prints you plan to make (or shallow pans or

dishes made of glass, plastic, china, or stainless steel)

• Print squeegee or soft viscose sponge

You use a photo sensitive paper that has the image projected on it from an enlarger.  If there was anything other than red light the paper would simply turn black. This enlarger shines light through the film and produces the image on the paper. But yeah theres more too it.

Adjusting the enlarger

1. Put the negative into the negative carrier, emulsion side up.
2. Turn the lamp on, and raise or lower the enlarger head so that the projection covers the paper.
3. Adjust the enlarger focus knob so the project appears to be in focus.
4. Turn the lamp off - for most enlargers this is true, there are some enlargers however where you leave the lamp on, and close a shutter.
5. Remove the paper used for focusing, from the easel.

Vocabulary:

1.)Emulsion-A suspension of small globules of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix: an emulsion of oil in vinegar.

2.)Aperture-is a hole or an opening through which light travels

3.) Masking easel-A big, square model with masking blades, interchangeable blade widths

4.)Exposure-the act of presenting a photosensitive surface to rays of light.

5.)Safe light-A darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.

6.) Dodging-Also, hold back. Photography . (in printing) to shade (an area of a print) from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area

7.) Burning-the state, process, sensation, or effect of being on fire, burned, or subjected to intense heat

Post shoot reflection

1. Some Problems that encountered is when some people were fooling around and i couldn't take the picture but i just wanted to take a picture of some one not even looking at me and doing there work
2. I was really into making the focus mare clearly for a nice good looking picture can come out.
3. I tried to use the rule of thirds 
4. I was trying to do my best at taking a good photo and learning more about it

 

processing of black and white photos

The materials that were going to need are:

First:

• your film
• scissors
• a beer opener
• a changing bag

Dishes:

• ­stop watch
• stainless steel reels
• stainless steel processing tank + lid + cap
• thermometer
• a container or 2 with liquid measurements on the side
• a stir stick
•  empty container for left over chemicals

And the chemicals that were going  to use are:

• developer
• fixer
• photo flo

My summary

Well i think to process the black and white photos is the first thing your going to do is put the rolls in a black bag and then your going to pop the lids of the rolls open and something else about putting them in water and some other chemicals and after that when you think its ready to take out your going to have to get them out of this can or what ever you put the rolls in the chemicals but yeah like i was saying your going to have to get them out and let them get dried you know and then if you look at them closely you'll see the little pictures in the rolls. And im not well to know enough about processing black and white photos but i can kinda understand parts of it so far.

Happy Halloween

On a Halloween day a  patter was form as a big Jack-o-lantern 275-feet.

American Soldier,

The powerful picture in the slide show was the one that he left home,

because he had to go to the army, and his mom is crying because she don't want her baby to go.

The images are telling the story by detailing every little thing that is happening in the picture, and the way the pictures are in a order it is showing us the way hes life is going.

I think that the videos are better than the slide show because there are actual talking and he is telling us how the story really went in his life.

For me Ira and his dad looked liked they had a bond together, he looks like he had his little fun time at home at lease he spend some time with the family.
