Negatives Evaluation

1.I think that all of my negatives turned out well, none of them were bad.
2.None of them, because they all turned out well, so all of them will turn out well.
3.This photo will turn out the best, because it is in good focus, and good composition, and it is not overexposed, or underexposed.
4.I think all of the aspects of photography are present in the photo, because it is very clear, and the lighting is very good, and the composition is very good.
5.Rule of thirds, and leading lines are present in my photo.

Drug Cartels In Mexico

I think that the things happening over there are really bad because there are a lot of people being killed right now, and those people have families and now their families cannot see the person anymore. It said that in one week two students that go to college in El Paso were killed, and it said that since 2007 there are as many as 28,000 people that have been killed.
My favorite photo was the photo of the guy with the mask in the van, in the drivers seat, and the picture is gray.
the photographer use framing, because the window was the frame, and in the background was the guy with the mask, and there is another guy in the background.
This photo was my favorite because the guy in the mask looked cool, and the gray color really made the picture look cool.

Ethics in fashion photography

1.Her face was made thinner, and they made her neck longer, and they put a lot of makeup, to cover the marks on her face like the freckles, and they made her eyes bigger,a and they changed her hair.
2.No it is not acceptable to change their appearance, because it is not real, and they are lying to people saying that this makeup makes you look like this, and they put a lot of makeup people do not need makeup to make them look pretty.
3.changing their face more would be wrong, but this is already wrong to do, because it is not how they really look.
4.I think putting on a little makeup is okay, but i still don't think they should wear makeup because are pretty the way they look.Changing their face is wrong because you are making someone look like something they wouldn't look like, and it is fake.
5.Fashion photography is really changing things, almost to where it is fake, and it doesn't look anything like the person when they change you with the computer.
Photojournalism is taking pictures and not changing anything, except maybe the effects, you are just trying to take a good picture and not really change anything in the picture.
6.Fashion photography makes people in the reality want the things that they are advertising, like the makeup.
photojournalism makes people in the reality think about things in the world, like how the people took those pictures, and maybe the people are taking pictures to change the world,by telling them what the pictures are about, and whats wrong with them.

Making a balck and white print

1.You will need  timers, drying cabinets, tongs, enlargers, focusing aids, and safe lights.
2.The chemicals you will need is the Fixer where you can buy at a walmart, stop bath where you can also get at walmart, and the developer where you can also get at a walmart.
3.First you must place the photo on a print sheet of paper, then expose the photo with the enlarger light with the photo facing forwards, and the emulsion up. After that you must place the exposed photo on the developer tray for 1 minute, then put it in the stop bath for 15 seconds, and then in the fixer for 2 minutes, then put it in the wash, and then hang it to let it dry.
4.Equipment

1.Emulsion - The substance on the surface of photographic film or paper that makes it react to light.
2.Aperture - A device that controls the amount of light admitted.
3.Masking Easel - A stand or frame for supporting or displaying at an angle.
4.Exposure - Vulnerability to the elements, like the weather.
5.Safe Light - Provides illumination without the wavelengths of the light spectrum to which the material in use is sensitive.
6.Dodging - To shade from exposure for a period.
7.Burning - To expose to more light.

Post shoot Reflection

1.The challenges that i encountered, were using the technical aspects, because it always changed when i moved closer, or farther away from the subject, so i stopped in one place, until i had all of the things, to get a really good picture.
2.The aspect that i was most worried about, was the focus, because i didn't want it to be too blurry, or i did not want it to be too sharp, so i just fixed the focus, until it was really clear to see the picture.
3.I tried to use the rule of thirds while taking the pictures, so i tried to put the subject of the picture, in one of the frames in the corners.
4.Next time i shoot i would change all of the aspects, so that i can take a really good picture, that is really clear, and i will use more of the advanced composition rules that i learned.

Materials - metal or plastic film tank, three dark plastic containers, graduates, darkroom timer, can opener, room that is light proof.
Chemicals - developer where you can buy at a store like Walmart, or you can buy it on the internet.Glacial acetic acid where you can buy at walmart, or on the internet.Fixer where you can also buy at a walmart. The last chemical you need is hypo eliminator, you can also buy this at a walmart, or internet
Fist you must remove the tape from the cassette, and you must put the film onto the spool, and then put the loaded reel into the film tank, and cover it, and fisrt you must pour the developer into the tank, and then pour water into it. After the water, you pour the fixer in the tank, and then pour the hypo eliminator,and then wash it one more time.

What the pros are doing - Repetition

This photo is an example of repetition, because the chairs are all lined up and the monitors are lined up, and it just keeps repeating from left to right, and forward the thing that leads the to the repetition is the chairs all in a straight line, and it looks like it just keeps no going.
Lisa Simpson appears on television screens on a new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 after its inaugural passenger flight from Singapore to Sydney, Australia.
 The tables are all lined up in front of each other, and they are repeated, an the cake is repeated on each table the thing that leads the eye to this is the tabled going diagonal.
Judges rate Alpine cheese in Oberstdorf, Germany. Jury members at the 5th Alpine Cheese Olympics rated over 700 kinds of Alpine cheese from all over the world.

The three chairs are all repeated, and the computers are also repeated in this picture.
An air traffic controller work station at the Skyguide monitoring center in Geneva, Switzerland's Cointrin airport sits unmanned, as ash from the volcanic eruption in Iceland stops aviation over Europe. Skyguide was forced to reduce its work force by approximately 50 percent due to reduced flights.


American Soldier

A.The most powerful image was the photo when he comes back home from iraq, because you can see how happy he is to be back and to see his family, and you can see how happy the parents are to see their son, and nothing bad happened to him
B. The most powerful sequence of photos was the one of coming back from Iraq, because his family is really glad to have him back, and you can see that by all of the picture of them doing all of this fun stuff together, and his girlfriend is happy to have him back, because there are pictures of them having fun together.
C.These photos work together, by being in different sequences, like from the start when he was signing up, the he goes to Iraq, the hes training, and he gets his first mission, and it keeps going until he goes back home with his family.
3.
A. the verbs ar written in past tense
B.The captions enhance the photographs by telling us whats in the picture, and what he was doing, and thinking, or saying.
4.
a. Ian is tearing up a picture of his girlfriend, because he keeps thinking about her, and it makes him sad, in  his room.
Ian is getting off the plane from iraq, and he is very happy to see his family, after all of the time he over there.
Ian is getting his head shaved, and it took the barber, less than a minute to shave Ian's head.
5.A. the videos enhance the photos, by us knowing how he feels to be over there, by his voice, or his feelings, that he has in the pictures.
B.videos are better than photographs, because you can see the people move, and you can hear them, and how they feel,like when he was signing up in the picture, you don't know how he feel about it, and in the video he tells you how it felt, and how it felt for the parents.
c.photos are better than videos, because its like you are stuck in time, and sometimes some photos can have different effects, and sometimes you know how the people feel by just looking at the photo, instead of watching,like in the photo with his mother crying, you can tell that she is very sad, and she doesnt want him to go.
