Lytro warm-up & Ethics in Fashion photography

Lytro Warm-Up



1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
Yu could hang the view point sort of and the focus too.
2. How does this new camera work?
Well I not so sure but does it take the whole picture a diastase so that later yo can choose how you would like to be done.
3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)
shutter speed?
4. Is it worth the money?
Um if I had money heckYEAH!


FASHION 

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
They made her eyes were made bigger, her lips too, her neck was made longer and thinner, they also lower her eyes and made her face thinner too.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I don't think so, its wrong you're telling people oh look this is how she looks natural, why don't you look that. It's fake not real and you're just lying to people if you do that, but there is time were its ok to fix up a photo like that but a little like maybe clean up some teeth or make a scar less noticeable. Well at least thats what I think.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Of course!Its like you're telling girls and guys that you had to look a certain why to be acceptant  by everyone.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I think I just answer that but um like cleaning up some teeth and making a  scar less noticeable.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
 I think photojournalism is more about the photo, how it was taken, the rules, and the meaning trying to be told in one set of photo.which is real hard to do since every one see things differently and its like they say a picture has a million things to say. And thats all a photo is a picture of life you know? where fashion photography is more about the actualy
 person what he or she is wear and it is all about they look the clothes the style which i think can be really difficult.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO - how do they all work?

 a photo taken at aperture setting F2.8

photo taken at F16 or higher.

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
Our Eye.
2. the smaller the Aperture [the bigger the f-stop], the higher the Aperture [the smaller the f-stop].

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field

 Where the area of the picture appears sharp.


high shutter speed 



slow shutter speed



1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which was earlier this month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth
high shutter speed
b.) the food eating contest
high shutter speed
c.) the rock climbing
slow shutter speed 
d.) someone working at a booth
high shutter speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
slow shutter peed
f.) the Diamonds performance.
ih shutter speed


Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
a.) the dunking booth
high shutter speed
b.) the food eating contest
slow shutter speed
c.) the rock climbing wall
slow shutter speed
d.) someone working at a booth
slow shutter speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
slow shutter speed
f.) the Diamonds performance.
high shutter speed

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.

Fast shutter speed is used for when you want a still picture and there's a lot of fast movement, Slow shutter is use for when there's not a lot of movement,  And Fast shutter speed is used when there is no light and you cant see anything.


a photo taken at ISO 200

a photo taken at ISO 3200 or 6400



1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?

There is an advantage because with a higher ISO at a night football game you will be able to see because you need a higher ISO when there is no light.  

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

the author suggested that when there is plenty of light, you should always use the lowest ISO, to retain the most detail and to have the highest image quality.

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
The author suggested that you should use a higher ISO when there is not enough light for the camera to be able to quickly capture an image.

Rules of Photography part II


2 - Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

5 - Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.

6 - Focussing is easier if you use a smaller aperture;


 Environmental portrait

 I like this one because It should what she does for a live well thats my guess at leastAnd she painted what looks like her self so thats pretty cool. I guess I also like this photo because I can see myself n something like this, I also like how she painted words in her painting because its something the she could had said but could't show it and this was a great way ,you know.
I love this show haha and This is really what he does on his show mostly and its hilarious , its not like his paying attention and its silly which is i think something that is great to use in a a portrait, not have everything all serious all time.
