3.
4.
5.5a.rule of thirds - An image that is divided into 9 parts and the subject should be be aligned with the points in any section so that it can give the picture more tension, and energy, and it draws more interest into the picture.
5b.Balancing Elements - making photos look balanced, by balancing other things with the picture to make it look more better, like putting the same weight on each side.
5c.Leading lines - lines that are in an image, that leads the eye to another point in the picture, and there are a lot of types of lines, like straight curvy, zigzag, and it gives the photo more composition.
5d.symmetry and patterns - having the picture with a lot of the same things across from each other is symmetry, like windows or a door, its like drawing a line right down the middle of the picture and having the exact same thing on each side. patterns is like having something getting bigger and bigger, or getting smaller, like stairs, and these pictures give us interest.
5e viewpoint - viewpoint give the photo great composition, and they are usually taken from above, or from the ground, from the side, or from the back.
5f.create depth - creating depth give the picture depth, like taking a picture in a Vally with all of this mountains in the background, foreground, and middle ground, and it just keeps going, and you can see each mountain, and maybe it can have clouds to give it depth.
5g background - Background, is giving a picture a boring background, or plain background, so that you can focus more on the subject. If the picture has an interesting background then you would focus more on the background.
5hframing - framing is giving the photo a frame, which draws your eyes to the main point of interest, like maybe putting trees around the picture and having a animal in the middle.
5icropping - cropping is cutting out things from the picture that are not important to the picture, to show the subject, like it the subject is really small and there are a lot of other distracting things around it, so you cut out all of those things,

Abandoned Theme Parks

1.The amusement park that i would like to visit is the Takakanonuma Greenland, in Hobara, Japan. I want to visit this park, because it really looks cool, because the rust on the roller coasters, gives pictures that are taken there really good effects. The other thing that is really cool, is the fog, and it gives the photos really good effect along with the rust.
2.Takakanonuma Greenland
3.Six Flags Over Texas, South Park Meadows, Sea World, Schlitterbahn, Six flags fiesta Texas.
4.Six Flags Over Texas
5.I think it would be fun document this place, because some of it is really old, like the rides, or the buildings, and the entrances when you are going to get on a ride are old. When i went there a couple of months ago it was really dark, and it was raining, and i think it would have been really cool to take pictures on that day, because it would have gave the pictures really good effects.
6.I think it would take somewhat of a lot of money to travel there, like for gas when you are driving there, and I would have to buy some new film for my camera, and I would need food, and to get into the park I would also need to bring the camera for the pictures, and maybe I would need to bring another camera, just in case some thing happen to the other one, and I would also need to bring a bag for the camera, and I would need to bring enough film for however many photos that i am going to take. With all of those things, I would be ready to go.


 

My First Print

1.The student is in sharp focus, because you can see him very clearly, and you can see what he is doing, and the tables are in sharp focus, and the hands coming in from the right of the picture are in sharp focus.
a.The student is in focus, the tables are in focus, the hands are in focus, the things that are not in focus is the person in the background, and the other chairs in the background.
b.They are not in focus, because they are not important. The thing that is important, is the subject which is the student working, so the other things that are in the background are not the subject.
2.There is good contrast in the photo, the whole photo is all mostly in black and white.
3.All of the rules are followed in the photo.
a. The photo has action, by the student writing on his paper with his pencil. I used some of the rules of photography, like rule of thirds, because the student is in top left corner, and it has leading lines, because the edges of the desks are leading to the student.The photo shows academics, because the student is working on an assignment, and he is writing on a desk, and he is really focused.
4.There is no yellowing, or spots on the photo.
5.There are no print rings or spots.
6.yes my negative,contact sheet, test strip, and print are stored in my photo.

Portraits and Self Protraits

Self Portrait
Professional Portrait
The Things that make a good photo, is good color, because it really makes the picture stand out with a lot of bright colors,dark colors kind of make the picture boring. Changing some of the effects also makes the photo look better, because it makes the photo look cool, like changing the color, or contrast, or brightness. Using the rules for photography makes the photo really good, like rule of thirds, lines, mergers,patterns, or framing. These are all of the things i would use to make my photo.
I would do a professional photo, and i would put all of these things in my photos.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1.
A.It was the first day of April, which is April fools day in the United States. In Israel there was a photographer, and his photo had been put on the newspaper, and the photo on the newspaper was edited, and it wasn't the real photo that he took.It also talks about a Los Angeles Times staff Photographer who had gotten fired for changing some things from a photo, and he had been a award winning 20 year news veteran.The Rest of the story talks about other people who had submitted manipulated photos, and investigators have found 79 manipulated photos so far in the year, and it is an appreciated amount of violations.
B.I think it is unethical, because you are giving out a photo to a lot of people that is not real, and people are going to think that it is real, and these people are getting money for these photos when they are not real, so these people really deserved to get fired for what they did.
 2.
A. Think this is unethical because the Newsweek magazine used the original photo for their cover, and they did not change anything, and the Time magazine used the same photo, but they changed the color of the picture, and they put a faded frame around it, and it really looks different from the original.

B. I think this is the least unethical photo, because you can not tell that the teeth are different, but they are, and it is still bad for the person, and it is wrong, but you cant really tell the difference, also because the other photos photos were more unethical than this photo.
