Magazine Tips

1. How well does your magazine stand out when placed with others?
2. Is your image appealing to others?
3. Is your story interesting enough to pull curiosity of bystanders?
4. How accessible is your magazine to buyers?
5. Don't rely on the electronic copy, wait till you see your final product to make judgements. It won't be the exact same.

Self Portraits

• Looking within the frame – alternatively you could have your subject looking at something (or someone) within the frame. A child looking at a ball, a woman looking at her new baby, a man looking hungrily at a big plate of pasta…. When you give your subject something to look at that is inside the frame you create a second point of interest and a relationship between it and your primary subject. It also helps create ‘story’ within the image.
• Photograph your subject at work, with family or doing something that they love. This will put them more at ease and you can end up getting some special shots with them reacting naturally to the situation that they are in. You might even want to grab a longer zoom lens to take you out of their immediate zone and get really paparazzi with them.

Environmental 

I enjoyed the element the boy was put in. His element. I also like how they played with the lighting. 

I liked the way the picture was laid out. I think its awesome that this was candid since you can't really pose birds like this. 

Photography Self Portrait

I liked how the photo was candid, but also posed. I also enjoyed how the lighting looked. 

I really liked how the picture looks and am very curious to how they captured it. You have to be very talented to capture such a shot. 

Casual Portrait 

I like how candid yet posed  

Fashion Photography

1. There was light added to the models face. They then put a lot of makeup on her and did her hair. They extended her neck and thinned it. They raised her eyebrows and made her eyes larger. Her face was also thinned. 

2. The models eyes were enlarged and her nose was adjusted. They raised her shoulders, slimmed her stomach, and elongated her legs. They also made her feet smaller in width and elongated them while they also slimmed her thighs. 

3. The models legs, arms, and stomach were signinficantly slimmed. Her skin tone was played with and little marks and blemishes all over her body were covered. She was also given much more hair then she originally had. 

4. I do not believe it is exceptable to change someones appereance at all. If you have such low self asteem that you need to make sure every last detail looks perfect, you have a problem. If you have a blemish covered or something as small altered, its not as big of a deal but when you slim down your stomach, or legs, thats unreasonable. Every should be able to feel comfortable in their own skin and ads and companies like this aren't helping. 

5. I beleive its ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation in any circumstance. People should be able to feel comfortable in every position they are put in without others thinking its not "perfect". 

6. I think that small blemish changes are ok but when you go as far as sliming down arms, stomachs, legs, you've crossed the line. 

7. I think fashion photography aims to make everything perfect no matter how much they hurt others. Photojournalism is set to capture whats really going on. The true aspects of the situation. 

8. Each type of photography is set to show how real something is like I said in my above answer. Each type is put in a circumstance where things in this instance are either moraly rong, or right. In places where people think everything must be perfect, such as fashion photography, this type of manipulation takes place. 

9. I think these videos were meant to show the power of photo manipulation. To also show how industries are so hungry for absolute perfection. 

10. Guys don't usually care as much as girls do about how tall they are or how skinny. It shows that girls are the targets of perfection in industries like this. Girls tend to have a lower self asteem when it comes to things like apperance and what society might think of them. 

American Soldier

  -I think the most powerful image was number 6, when Ian is telling his friends goodbye and it says they finally realized what was actually happening.
   Set #1- 1-15
   Set#2- 16-30
   Set#3- 50-70
   Set#4- 71-82
  -I think set 1 was most powerful because you can see that they all realize like I said before that he was really leaving and they are all so emotional and not ready for him to go.
  -The images layout a story without words that shows his journey and all the struggles he's faced along the way. They show his journey in chronological order and each step he took throughout his long, hard task.
  -The photos are usually written in present tense.
  -The captions help the picture tell a story and explain exactly what's going on.

#8- Ian stands in line waiting with his fellow army goers. He later admits to how nervous he was.
#12- Ian gets his head shaved by the local man who has done so to many others before. Ian says the man wasn't very gentle.
#18- Ian struggles to pick up his bag. The bag was very heavy and contained almost everything Ian needed for his time at the base.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

f/2.8

f/16

We relate aperture with the human eye. 

The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-stop. The higher the aperture, the smaller the f-stop. 

The smaller the aperture, the more focused the background will be and vice versa.

iso 200

iso 3200

 

Using a higher quality ISO in certain circumstances like these gives you the highest quality image.

The author recomends you use a low ISO whenever possible.

The author recomends to use a higher ISO when there is not enough light for the camera to be able to quickly capture an image.
