Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.

Photo manipulation is to held for some time, the point of this is that changes the way you see things which can cause different types of confilcts and credibility problems, the first day in April is called April Fool’s Day in the United States. In Israel this year, it was simply portrait day for the new cabinet and photographer Menahem Kahana. However, when Kahana’s image appeared in Yated Neeman, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspaper, someone had fooled with the image.

 

B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.

I think these photographs are unethical by the kind of changes they make, unleash different ways of thinking by changing the way the photographs can be seen, plus it can attract many problems thereby altering photos.

 

 A. Post the manipulation that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical.If you do not know what the word ethic or unethical means, look them up on the internet. It is very important you know what those two words mean.

I think this picture was the most unethical because in the original photo looks like soldiers are only helping these people, but the picture is manipulated as if you were threatening the man with a child.

 

 

B. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others

 

I think this photo is the least because it changed the color a bit and I think they did just that look better.

National Geographic Warm-up

This photo is my favorite because, I really like the way the picture is taken, makes it look a very interesting and different perspective, Furthermore the combination of different colors inside and out is very good.

Think about your world, what photo would you take to submit to this photo contest?

I think it is hard to decide because there are many beautiful landscapes, but it would take pictures in the hills there in Mexico.

2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger? if someone comes up to me and asked me to participate in a session to touch a stranger would accept, because I think it would be fun and different, participate in something like that.

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.

Great Black and White Photographers PART 2

W. Eugene Smith      

William Eugene Smith, December 30, 1918, Wichita, Kansas – October 15, 1978, Tucson, Arizona. He was an American photojournalist known for his refusal to compromise professional standards and his brutally vivid World War II photographs. 

  Smith graduated from Wichita North High School in 1936. He began his career by taking pictures for two local newspapers, The Wichita Eagle  and the Beacon. He moved to New York City and began work for Newsweek and became known for his incessant perfectionism and thorny personality. Smith was fired from Newsweek for refusing to use medium format cameras and joined Life Magazine in 1939. He soon resigned from Life, too. In 1942 he was wounded while photographing battle conditions in the Pacific theater of World War II. 

 W. Eugene Smith covered many of the important battles of the Pacific Theater. He produced a number of photo essays for Life and other magazines. His most famous picture, "The Walk to Paradise Garden" 1947, showing his own children entering a forest clearing, concluded the landmark photographic exhibition The Family of Man.

Camera history and Information.

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved? The effect came to be known as the "camera obscura" 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?
In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when 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? They both pass light through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. The end result is still a photograph.


5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image? Replacing old-fashioned plastic film, digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode? In Auto Mode the camera will completely control flash and exposure. In Program Mode there is an automatic-assist, just point and shoot. Unlike full auto mode.

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

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

9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button? If the subject is somewhat off-centre, the auto-focus may be fooled. You have probably seen this effect many times before. A half-press will tell the camera that you're almost ready to take a shot and to be prepared, triggering the following things to happen

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


 When would you use this? To make the photo more dramatic

 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.

When would you use this? When its too dark


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

13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light? If there is not enough light and the picture is too dark. A good photograph depends on the exposure settings that will give the film the right  amount of exposure.

14. What is a “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.

17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have? Longer shutter speed means more light.

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have? Shorter shutter speed means less light.

19. What does the aperture control? 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? Increase the aperture to highest setting.

The camera

Visible spectrum- is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye.

electromagnetic spectrum- is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.

Parallax- is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines. 

camera obscura- is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen. 

aperture- is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane.

shutter- is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.
 

exposure- is the size of the aperture and the brightness of the scene controls the amount of light that enters the camera during a period of time, and the shutter controls the length of time that the light hits the recording surface.

depth of field- is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.
 

F-stop- the f-number (sometimes called focal ratio, f-ratio, f-stop, or relative aperture) of an optical system is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. 

focal length- of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.
