Photojournalism- particular form of journalism that employs images in order to tell a news story. The difference between photojournalism and photography is photojournalism is more in touch with the press and the stories when in photo the pictures speak for their selves.

NPPA- National Press Photographers Association is a society that promotes visual journalism in their highest standards. Their code of ethics are:

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.

Media needs ethics so their employs aren’t out there making a bad name for their business and to avoid lawsuits dealing with false information or harassment.

This picture is interesting to me because it is the perfect macro photo. We as humans never see flowers this close up like bugs do and we got a clear view of it in this photo.

Abstract photography- Concentrates on shape, form, color, pattern and texture. The view is often unable to see the whole object, focuses on a small part of the object.

2. Balancing elements

3. Leading Lines

4. Symmetry and patterns

5. Viewpoint

6. Background

7. Depth

9. Cropping

10. Experimenting

Step 1. Have your equipment and Materials required to developing film.

 

Step 2. Remove the film from the canister (DO ALL THESE WHILE INSIDE THE CHANGING BAG)

Step 3. Cut off the film leader

Step 4. Load the film.

Step 5. Load the film reel, make sure the film is completely wound into the reel.

Step 6. Mix the chemicals, according to instructions attached.

Step 7. Start the timer, pour the developer into the developing task.

Step 8. Agitation, there are various times to agitate according to the different chemicals.

Step 9. End of Agitation, after Agitation pour chemical back into jug.

Step 10. Add stop bath and fixer after pouring the other chemical back into the jug.

 

Step 11. Wash with water, wash for 5 minutes to clean leftover chemicals off.

Step 12. Add wetting Agent before hanging it up to dry.

 

Step 13. Dry the film

 

Step 14. Hang film up to dry

Photogram- photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.

For my photogram I was thinking of making a picture with items in my bag because it will be very creative, different and random.

1. Rules of third- The rule of thirds says that you should position the most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect.

2. Balancing Elements- Placing your main subject off centered can leave a void in the scene which can make it feel empty.

3. Leading Lines- Our eyes are naturally drawn to lines, there are many different types straight, diagonal, curvy, zigzag, radial and more each enhance the photos composition.

4. Symmetry and Patterns- Both naturally and man made they are very eye catching mostly when not expected they also introduce tension and focal point to the scene.

5. Viewpoint- Take time to think about where to shoot from because the viewpoint has a massive affect on what the shot conveys.

6. Background- Look for plain backgrounds so it won’t distract or take away from the subject.

7. Depth- Because photos are 2 dimensional choose a composition that conveys the depth of foreground, middle ground and background. We naturally recognize these layers and mentally separate them out.

8. Framing- By placing natural frames around the object at focus like trees, holes and archways it draws your eye to the main point of interest better.

9. Cropping- Some objects are so small you need to crop to eliminate the background and focus on the smaller important object.

10. Experimentation- Experimenting could giver you your best shot yet, you won’t know until you try.
