made words out of trash

the sketch tutorial was very easy it was juts a lot of steps

 

TASK #1:

• what is each image trying to tell you? 

Each image is showing its own subject about some kind of either problem or just everyday things.

• why did he take that photograph?

I believe he took the image that i chose because he wanted to show an everyday person doing what they usually do to show some of us that not everyone has a car, not everyone is rich, not everyone has the opportunities that others might.

• how do you feel when you look at this image ? why do you think you feel that way? 

When I look at this image I feel happy because of all the bright colors, but then I start to look deeper into the image. Like the elder ladies facial expression she doesn’t look angry but at the same time she doesn’t look happy. I also feel like they don’t live in the best of neighborhoods by the way there is writing and scratches on the windows but i am unsure.

 

• what does Michael Coyne believe to be the most important things when taking the photograph?

Michael Coyne believes that the most important thing when taking a photograph is connecting with the people before he takes the picture so people don’t get caught up with all of the equipment.

• what did you find most interesting about Michael Coyne’s short presentation? 

I found the part about talking to the people and getting to know the people before taking the image was very interesting because I never thought of people doing that. I always thought they just went out found something interesting and took a picture of it, be he actually gets to know the people that he takes the pictures of. so i found that very interesting.

( NAME OF PHOTOGRAPH : TRAM-3)

TASK #2

Photojournalism:  The art or practice of communicating new with photographs.

 

What is the difference between photograph and photojournalism? 

The difference between photograph and photojournalism is: photographs can be taken of anything and anyone can take them, but photojournalism is telling a story and kind of explaining something ( you also have to write in photoJOURNALISM).

 

What is the NPPA?

National Press Photographer Association

 

What is the NPPA code of ethics? 

1. Be accurate and comprehensive in the representation of subjects.
2. Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities.
3. Be complete and provide context when photographing or recording subjects. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and work to avoid presenting one’s own biases in the work.
4. Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. Give special consideration to vulnerable subjects and compassion to victims of crime or tragedy. Intrude on private moments of grief only when the public has an overriding and justifiable need to see.
5. While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events.
6. Editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images’ content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.
7. Do not pay sources or subjects or reward them materially for information or participation.
8. Do not accept gifts, favors, or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage.
9. Do not intentionally sabotage the efforts of other journalists.

 

Why does the media need ethics? 

I believe the media needs the ethics because a lot of content on media websites have false information so people believe the wrong thing, and a lot of the things on media are not respectful to others and stereotype.

 

 

The photo I found interesting was about the great depression. I found this photo interesting because it is kind of showing the extents that people were going through to try and find a job, to make some money for their families. I feel that this photo kind of shows how badly people needed jobs and how hard they were willing to work to get one.

this tutorial is making photos more defined and more real looking

 

tip un: black and white landscapes
If you want to take great black and white landscape photos, shoot in colour. By using your digital camera’s raw picture quality setting rather than JPEG, you’ll record a colour image that you can convert to black and white later in photo editing software such as Lightroom or Photoshop

 

tip deux:  panorama, first take a series of overlapping shots with the camera positioned vertically – this will give you much larger panoramic image than if you use the camera horizontally.

tip 3:  HDR landscape photos: hotography enables you to capture detail in all areas of a picture – from shadows through to highlights – that you normally couldn’t squeeze into a single picture.

 tip 4: manual focus
Switch off autofocus when you’re taking macro photos. Depth of field (DOF) can be measured in millimetres when you’re shooting close-up details, so accurate focusing is critical.

tips 5:  shooting light trails

Simply use a slow exposure to render a moving light source – whether that’s car headlights or a fast fairground ride – as bright streaks through the frame. Lock the camera off on a tripod so that other elements of the picture are captured sharply, and time your shots to record the maximum amount of streaks. When shooting car light trails or bursts of fireworks, it often pays to shoot numerous exposures and then blend these together in Photoshop. This way, pictures will feel much fuller and livelier.

tip 6:  photographing star trails

Switch your camera to manual settings, and focus the lens at infinity. Using Bulb mode, set a low ISO to reduce digital noise, and a wide aperture such as f/2.8 to gather as much light as possible and keep exposure times comparatively short.

 

tip 7:  using window light

a window and a reflector can help you achieve stunning natural results without spending too much. Position your model at an angle to the window and use a white or silver reflector to open up any shadows across their face.

tip 8: high-key portraits Deliberately choosing to over-expose a photo to create a ‘high-key’ effect results in a light and delicate look that can enhance feminine portraits and pictures of children. 

 

tip 9: shooting in burst mode

 Whether you’re taking a child’s portrait or a group portrait, set your camera in its fastest drive setting.

tip 10: candlelight portraits 

When you’re taking photos by candlelight, you’ll need to push the ISO to 1600 and beyond and work with large apertures if you’re to get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze any motion in your model, the camera or the candle flames.

Turn your camera’s flash off and use Manual exposure mode. Switch off any lights, take a meter reading from your portrait-sitter’s face and let the rest of the room slip into darkness.

If you’re planning a candlelit portrait shoot, use more than one candle. Not only will it increase the amount of light available to make the exposure, but it will allow you to spread the illumination for softer shadows.
