Final Exam Study Guide

1. Explain how to get to the server drives and your folder.
2. Explain how we use blogger.com in this class

We use Blogger.com to post blogs to show our assignments

3. Explain the process of creating a pinhole camera

first you begin lining the inside of the oatmeal can and the cap to the can. Making sure there isnt any cardboard showing, the you cut a square 1 and a half inch in the middle. You poke a hole into the black paper then you put a cover over the big square and the whole, a cover where you can peel away and place back without allowing light being shown in. 

4. Explain how the pinhole camera works and how the image is transferred to the paper inside

You place the photo inside the can with the slick side facing the hole. The light shines in through the hole for a few seconds transferring the image onto the photo paper.

5. Know how to define and explain the 10 rules of composition, these 10 rules will be a MAJOR portion of the final and you better know how to recognize these rules, explain these rules and show me you understand them:
5a.  Rule of thirds: cutting the photo into sections and being able to see an image in the section
5b. Balancing Elements: Elements on each side of the picture.
5c. Leading Lines: Lines that lead to the object.
5d. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition): a pattern in the photo.
5e. Viewpoint: from your point of view.

5f. Background/simplicity: focusing on one object of the photo.
5g. Create depth: Layers in the image.
5h. Framing: creating a frame that shows the main object of the photo.
5i. Cropping: cutting a section of the photo.
5j. Mergers and avoiding them: mergers are where you have something coming out the back of the object creating an unwanted photo.
6. Explain how action and emotion impact a photograph: an action and emotion impacts the photograph by showing that there is a meaningful story behind the photo.
7. Explain how a photo can "tell a story": when a photo has emotion you are wondering of the story behind it so your mind would run off with stories.
8. Explain what the word "multimedia" means and share some examples of how we have seen them in class (on the blog): multimedia means you have a slideshow (video) of photos and an audio playing in the background.
9. Know how to correctly write a caption. I HIGHLY suggest you rewrite the rules on your blog and find at least 2 photos on the internet, post them on your bwe have seen log and write correct captions for them. This will be a MAJOR portion of the exam as well.
10. Explain how "strong action" verbs enhance a caption: it enhances he photo because it shows us what is happening in the photo beyond the eyes.
11. Explain how ethics come into play in regards to photojournalism and compare and contrast this with fashion photography. You really need to get the idea that changing photos to fit a need or to make something look like something else is VERY unacceptable in photojournalism.
12. Explain the difference between a portrait and a self portrait.: a portrait is a photo taken by you of somebody else, and a self portrait is a photo of you.
13. Explain what characteristics of a good portrait are: the composition rules
14. Explain what the major differences are between newspaper and yearbook: newspaper is where you write and journal the event going on and yearbook is where you take photos and put photos together for the years to come.

Definitions you are responsible for (I highly recommend you post these on your blog with the definitions and make sure they are correct, many of the ones you posted on your blog previously were INCORRECT. All definitions need to relate directly to photojournalism. Example: many of you defined burning as "pain that feels hot as if it were on fire" , when the correct answer is "burning- increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker."):

1. Aperture: a hole which light travels through
2. Shutter: device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time
3. Exposure: total amount of light allowed to fall onto the photo paper
4. F-stop: focal length of the lens
5. Single lens reflex: camera that uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system that permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured
6. Negative: inversion of a positive image
7. Positive: a photo that shows color of the photo
8. Contact sheet: images from a photoshoot in a sleeve
9. Agitation: keeping a chemical moving, helps speed up the development while processing film; prevents from spotting
10. Enlarger: projector used to produced photographic prints from film or negatives
11. Stop bath: chemical bath usually used in processing traditional black&white photographic films used after the material has finished developing
12. Fixer: chemical used in the final step in the photographic processing of film
13. Safe light: light source suitable for use in a dark room
14. Burning: increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker
15. Dodging: decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter

Choice Sheet

Sadly i am not returning next semester. :(

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. Out of the two articles i would love to visit Six Flags, New Orleans. I chose this theme park because the photos of the park brought back many memories of my childhood. Its been so long that i have been back to six flags I think if i were to visit this abandoned park i would be able to capture my memories of the swings, the carousel, and the funnel cakes.

2.

3. -abandoned school or a dark school
    -abandoned house
    -cementaries
    -haunted houses
    -asia
4.

5. I think this would be an interesting place to visit and take pictures of because of the story behind the cementery and this tower thing. I read this cementery is in London and i think it would be interesting to visit and take pictures of everything around the city.

6.  I would take another person, flashlight, batteries, camera, cell phone, a crank that charges my camera and phone, tourist books, and my research packets.

My first Print

1.) Is anything in sharp focus? Not really.
a.) Describe what is in focus and what is not. Most of the photo is unfocused.
b.) If not in focus, state the cause. I didnt know how to focus the camera properly.

2.) Is there good contrast? (Look for the blacks and whites in the photo)? Yes there is good contrast their is a good amount of gray, black, and white.
a.) If no, state the probable cause? I think it would be a little better if it there was more black.

3.) Are all the rules followed? (Is the photo candid? Does the subject fill the frame? Does the photo contain action? Does it follow composition rules? Does it show "academics"?) Only some rules are being followed. The subject does not fill the frame. This photo does not contain any action. The rules i followed were simplicity and lines. Sadly out of all of my photos this was the only one that was close to being focused so no my photo does not show academics.
a.) If yes, explain what techniques were used and how you followed them in your photo. I didnt use much techniques i took photos of things i thought would be a good picture.
b.) If no, how will you correct this next time? Next time i will think about the techniques before i take a photo.

4.) Is there yellowing or are there spots on the print? No.
a.) If yes, what caused it/them? I didnt have any yellowing.

5.) Are there print rings or spots? No there wasnt.
a.) If yes, state the probable cause. I didnt have any print rings or spots.

6.) Are your negatives, contact sheet, test strip and print stored in your folder?  Yes they are.
a.) If no, explain why. They are all in my folder.

Portraits and self-portraits

 

Arnold Newman

I believe Arnold Newman's portrait of Marilyn Monroe is a good photo because she is one of the most beautiful woman of all time.Arnold captured her beauty mark, her mole is a fashion icon she has girls getting the "Monroe" piercing on the faces. She wasnt wearing any makeup and her hair wasnt done he showed off her true beauty, showed girls dont have to wear make up and have their hair done to be beautiful.
I think i want to pictures of somebody else, i would like to emulate the model it self in my photo.

Ethics in fashion photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)
lips were made bigger, her neck was made longer, the back of her hair was made smaller, both of her eyes and eyebrows were made bigger, they made her face more narrow, and made her face a little tanner.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I believe it is unethical to change one's appearance in this way because they should embrace her beauty not try to morph it into a fake photo.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Some circumstances such as if the model asked for her to be edited but really you should know god made you that way and you should be proud to be yourself and look like yourself because nobody in the world has the same exact appearance as you.

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
The type of changes such as brightening the photo, fixing loose hairs, and enhancing the photo.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
Fashion photography is where they edit the model on a computer and photojournalism is where they enhance the photo not where fashion photography they edit all of the model's flaws to make the photo better. In photojournalism we embrace the flaws and capture the photo in the moment.

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
 it affects many ways because some change one's photo until something they are completely not or something they dont look like at all. Others bring out the best in the photo like brightening the photo so the audience can see the true beauty in the photo.

Negatives Evaluation

1. From looking at your negatives, how many of your photos do you think turned out well?

I believe about 4 turned out okay.

2. How many of your photos appear like they will not turn out well? Why do you think these photos did not turn out (Ex: Over/under exposed, not focused, bad composition)?

8 did not turn out so good because they were not focused.

3. Select the negative image that you think will turn out the best when it is printed. Why do you think this photo will turn out well?

I think this photo will turn out well because it is the best focused and the student is working.

4. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) do you think are present in your best negative? What evidence can you provide from the appearance of the negative to support your answer?

I think composition is present in my negative because the things put together are the student and the marble launcher.

5. What advanced composition techniques (Ex: rule of thirds, leading lines) that you have learned in class are present in your favorite negative?

Simplicity are present in my negative.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.
The main point of the story is photo editing other's photos to show a different image can have you resigned from your job and losing your integrity. You are manipulating a photographer's own creation, the image they wanted to take. By digitally editing the image you are turning the image into your creation.

B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
I think this type of photo editing is unethical because as i was saying it is a photographer's image their creation. You are basically stealing the person's image to be your own the way you want the image to be. The only way it would be acceptable is if you were enhancing the photo not adding or cloning the image.

2. Look through the example images on this page:
 
A. This is the most unethical manipulation because that is not Oprah's body they photoshoped her head onto Ann Margaret's body. They are basically saying Oprah's body is not good enough for their magazine so they had to go manipulate her head onto somebody's else body. I believe woman should be proud of their body no matter what shape or size they are, this tv guide offends Oprah's fans. The fans that look up to Oprah for being proud of her body.


B. This is a least unethical, it is not that bad compared to all the others because they are just enhancing the image not manipulating it to make the photo even worst.

Drug Cartels in Mexico

I think it is unmoral to fine an abandoned car with a body in the trunk with their hands tied together and a bullet in their head. It is ridiculous that in a day 10 people have been killed, and it continues on to the next day. In the article it says "More than 2,000 people have been murdered in Juarez so far this year, according to police. Just this week, two students from the University of Texas at El Paso were shot and killed there." Its wrong that all these innocent people are dying because rivalry drug cartels. It also says "The Mexican government estimates that as many as 28,000 people have been killed by the cartels since 2007, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on the cartels." it has been about 3 years and 28,000 people was killed, this is horrid and it has to be stopped. I think it is smart that the good guys wear masks to hide their identity and for the safety of their families. I found it interesting that they say "Antebi says the government is trying to crack down on the cartels, and has arrested many key figures over the last two years. But he believes those efforts have only provoked even greater violence." this quote is basically saying they are provoking them even more by arresting key figures. It is interesting to me is because it is true with every situation any way you handle it, it will escalade into something bigger.



In the video my most favorite photo is when Antebi was saying only the good guys where mask, and the photo of the man wearing an all black suit, with a mask, helmet, goggles, and vest he is holding his gun in his right arm aiming it to the floor. The photographer uses simplicity in this photo to make it interesting because in the photo it is focused on the good guy only and the background is blurry bringing out the man even more. This photo is my favorite because the main part of it is the man, the man is a good guy. This photo makes it looks like he is in the army and he is fighting for what he believes in, making our homes safe. The good guy is putting his life out there to protect innocent people and his family in my eyes that is a super hero.

Making a Black and White print

Materials necessary to process black and white film:

• developer-converts the latent image to metallic silver
• stop bath-a dilute solution of acetic acid or citric acid (halts action of developer)
• clean water
• a squeegee
• fixer or hypo
• dust-free environment for the film to be dried
• a dark room
• film tanks
• stirring rod to mix chemicals
• thermometer

Chemicals:

• Stop Bath or Glacial Acetic Acid
• developer
• fixer
• hypo-clearing agent
• wetting agent

Process: Remove the film from the cassette in the dark room, pull the flat end off unwind the film and remove the end of the film. Load the film onto a film reel. Place loaded reel in the film tank the film is now in a light tight container turn on the light. Lay out the chemicals in front of you (film developer, stop bath, fixer with hardener, and hypo eliminator bath). Poor developer into open part of the sealed film tank and cover it. Pour running water into the pour spout for one minute to stop development. Remove all of the fixer by pouring in a tank of Hypo Eliminator and agitate for two minutes. Use washing pins or film clips to hand the film to dry in a dust-free area. 1-2 hours the film would dry.

1. emulsion: the substance on the surface of photographic film orpaper that makes it react to light
2. aperture: the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lends that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor
3. masking easel: a flat metal plate with sliding arms on all four sides for cropping the image manually
4. exposure: total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph
5. safe light: safe light used in a darkroom
6. dodging: decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter
7. burning: increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? Explain how you dealt with these challenges.
The challenge for me was when everybody would be distracted by the camera, and i wouldnt be able to capture the moment and action unless i pretend taking a photo of something around them when im actually catching the moment.

2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
for most of the time i was thinking about focusing the photo, i pressed down lightly on the camera side to where the camera focuses my subject into the lense.
3. Explain how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques you learned in class while shooting.
i attempted using rule of thirds and patterns while i was shooting. i walked into one of the teen leadership classes and on the wall she has full of student's work describing yourself and it was in a pattern but it was also in the rule of thirds.
4. What would you do differently the next time you shoot to improve your photographs?
Next time i would shoot the photos quickly to where the subject would not notice and begin acting differently

1. Contact sheet: sheet of photo paper with multiple small format film strips
2. Agitation: putting into motion by shaking or stirring
3. Enlarger: specialized transparency projector to produce photographic prints from film or glass negatives using the gelatin-silver process or transparencies
4. Developer: a chemical, often mixture of metol and hydroquinone which converts the latent silver halide image in the exposed photograph material into reduced, opaque, black silver metal

5. Stop Bath: chemical bath usually used in processing traditional black and white photographic films, plates, and paper used after the material has finished developing
6. Fixer: chemical that removes unexposed silver salts from photographic media and renders them insensitive to light

What the pros are doing - Repetition

Happy Halloween
A pattern of lights forms a giant 275-foot jack-o-lantern on the side of WaMu Center in downtown Seattle

This photo shows repetition because of the high buildings and the lights coming from the windows creates a pattern and repetition.

Ian Fisher: American Soldier

Two:
A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?
To me the most powerful image is the one where Ian and his father are in the store. They are holding on to each other and spending all the time they have together even if its just going to the store. This photo shows that they are really close.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
Chapter 3: Basic Training is the most powerful sequence because all of that training is hard and sometimes unbearable, i went through this for a week and i stuck it out til the end. Imagine doing this for about 6 months and its your life, your job.

C. How do the images work together to tell a story?
The images in Chapter 3 worked together to tell a story about how training goes and how truly hard it is to go through all of this. Your day is waking up before the sun comes out to do physical training, you have breakfast chow during chow you are not allowed to look around or speak and you have to sit at attention while eating,you are away from your family and the only way to contact them is through letters, some dont believe in religion before they enter the military but after seeing how everything truly is your views change on religion and life itself, everybody thinks that the military is all serious no fun no play but really there are moments where you are ordered to be professional but there are moments where you bond with your peers and CTO's, you are there to learn from your officers and also from your peers, you absorb everything that is there and it becomes like your second home, you catch all the sleep you can get and all the space for your mind. I learned all of this in the week of my training camp and Chapter 3 told the same story i just said.

Three:
A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?
It was written by somebody that was following his life from enlisting into the army, basic training, deploy, and his personal life.

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?
The captions enhance the photos because they tell me a story behind the photo, which i love because i always ask questions and to have reasons for almost everything. These captions give me the story of what going on in the photo and with Ian.

Four:
A. Ian getting a series of shots for anthrax and smallpox photo
Caption: Ian is crying in pain as the nurse gives him a shot at St. Austin Hospital.

Five:
A. How do these other features enhance the photographs?
Ian, his father, his mother, and his recruiter telling us Ian's story enhances the photos because their is more emotions in each photo because of their stories, its not the same as us reading the captions ourselves.

B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from theDenver Post Web site.
The videos are better than the photographs because we get more of a story than the captions and the photo. Such as the first video from the denverpost.com Ian's mother was talking about how she was worried that he is leaving to the army she began bursting into tears not wanting him to go and he was telling us about Ian's friends telling him not to go that he would die. The image of him hugging his friends the guy was telling us about how they said bye to him and how heartbreaking it was to see him leave off in the car.
C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site
Some photos are better than videos because the photo captures the moment and you keep it by your side for as long as you want. For example in the "Army Blues" his fiancee at that moment, Kayla Spitzlberger, was telling us about how Ian proposed to her as she was telling us their story there were photos of him proposing to her. Moments that you would cherish for the rest of your life you would want all of the pictures of the little things, such as him getting on his knee proposing, her blushing, and them two hugging.

Marlboro Marine

2.
A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow? (Think about the overall presentation: audio, editing, text)
Luis Sinco used photography to show Blake's emotions, the audio is of Blake telling his story throughout the photos. Luis used editing and text to show when something big happened in Blake's life.

B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?
It was sad that the men coming back from Irag and coming home from the Army, they are never the same. I can relate to this video because many men in my family are in the military, everytime i see their shining faces i am afraid of them not being the same when they come back. I am terrified of them not coming back at all, i wish i can hold them and keep them safe by my side but i cant its what their hearts want to do with their lives i dont have the heart to tell them dont go. This slideshow hits deep into my heart, every photo hurts. The meaning behind the photos is telling the story of a great man that fought for our country, protecting his love ones, and my love ones.

3.
A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?

The most powerful image for me was when Blake was saying he had brought his own problems upon him and Jessica didnt deserve to have all of his problems, the photo of her sitting on the bed looking down and Blake having his back turned to her at the window. It seemed as he still loved her and he couldnt look his love into her eyes. Him saying he would rather be without her than put her through all of that, having her fade away represented her fading away in his mind but she would never fade away in his heart.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?

I think the most powerful sequence was when he started talking about he didnt know what do whether to ride his bike into a mountain side or ride it off the top of one, he closed his eyes and the screen goes black representing his eyes closing.

C. How does the audio enhance the photographs?

The audio enhances the history of Blake his life during and after Iraq. The pictures are powerful but Blake telling his own story himself makes the video even more powerful. Hearing the audio from him and Luis made me tear up. Not many are here today to tell their story, the ones that are here i believe they have every right to tell their story.

D. How do the images work together to tell a story?

The images are following Blake's audio but the images together are telling their own story. Each photo has a meaning behind it while i was watching the video all i could think to myself was i want to know more about Blake and more about each video.

This video caught my attention because the people stepped into Katrina's victim's shoes and tried to understand their situation. Its funny how just one little thing can help another person greatly, such as in the movie they gave a police officer gas and that gas saved a human being's life. This photo caught my eye because there is a little pattern going on in this photo, the orange tshirts, orange flags, the colorful flags behind them, and the huge american flag behind them. I love all of the colors in this photo its not one of those where there is so many colors it overpowers the photo making it become tacky.

Contests Preview

Honorable Mention-Andrew Visconti
Ward Melville High School, Setauket NY
Cortney Weisman

This is photo is powerful to me because it has a pink classic car. Many guys have an interest in classic cars and assume girls dont have much of an interest in cars as they are. As people say when you assume you make an ass out of you and me (ass-u-me). This is also very powerful because the car's color is the color for breast cancer awareness. The lighting is dark and has dark colors the color that pop out the most is the pink off of the car and the green off of the green.

Great Black and White photographer part 3

This photo caught my attention because of everything going on in the picture. Everything in the picture is so bold, the flowers i love how each flower is a different color. The black and white bring out the photo, mostly it makes the smoke pop out and her lips. I see the smoke and the flowers. I smell the smoke, i hate smoking and that my family members smoke but i love the way you can see the smoke in this photo. I hear the cigarette slowly burning and touching the model's lips. I taste the bitterness from me breathing in the smoke from the cigarette. I feel warm from the smoke going around me.

This photo caught my attention because the background has more than one thing going on and it brings out the woman. I see a beautiful dolled up caring woman feeding the bird. It looks as if she rescued the bird and cared for it. I smell the bird in need of a nurturing home. I hear the woman talking softly feeding the bird water. I taste the water. I feel warm inside because this photo shows that people care for animals even if they are from the street, she isnt one of those people that leave an animal on the corner just because they dont want to care for them anymore.

Academics Preview

The Story

This picture shows the best story because in the photo has the kids looking down the bridge and they are so fascinated in what is going on around them, you can tell that they are on a field trip. Which means the tour person is telling them about the bridge and they are looking at whats going on under the bridge. The photographer focused the photo to the kids and a little part of the bridge which shows the kids was his main part of the photo.

Action and Emotion

This photo shows great action and emotion, especially emotion. It shows action because he is concentrating and not being distracted with the things going on around him. It shows great emotion because in the photo shows us that he is passionate about his artwork.

Filling the Frame

I believe this is a very interesting photo, actually the most interesting out of all the collection. It the most interesting because you see more than one artwork around him. You think he is drawing a self-portrait but he is actually drawing Lady Liberty, the symbol that represents power, wealth, and most importantly freedom..

Hurricane Ike

This photo shows Leading Lines, i look at this photo my eyes would automatically detect all of the lines from the wood on the floor, the first lady's shirt, and the houses. I chose this photo because everything stands out to me, the huge pile of things on the floor stood out to me the most because if you think about it this pile use to be somebody's belongings, somebody's life, somebody's home.

This photo stands out to because it shows leading lines and framing. I say it shows leading lines because of the stairs, windows, poles, fence, and the wall. They're 2 frames in this photo, the first framing is hole in the wall showing the man's legs. The second framing is under the house showing the beach and the fence hanging there.

William Klein, the Great Black and White Photographer Part Two

William Klein

William Klein was an  artist, film-maker, and photographer. He was born in New york on April 19, 1928. He had hostility towards him because he was from a family of poor Jewish immigrants. At age 14 he enrolled in a city college in New York, at 18 he enlisted in the US Army for 2 years. After his discharge he settled in Paris, where he married his love Jeanna Florin. 1954, returned to New York and began his photography. Between 1955-1965 he became a fashion photographer working for Vogue magazine.

9/11 Composition

Simplicity:
In this photo, it shows simplicity because it is focusing on the woman in uniform. She is the main person of this photo, it does not have a complicated background.
 

 Rule of Thirds:
This photo shows Rule of Thirds because if I were to cut it into 3 I would be able to see a object in each square.

Lines:
The lines from the main flag, the lines show to the main object in this photo which is the people holding onto the flag.

Balance:
In this photo it has a baby and his mother, it is a balance because on each side it has a flag and also they both have blonde hair.

Framing:
This has great framing because the center point of this photo is the background and the wall post frame the scene in the background.

Avoiding Mergers:
Avoiding Mergers is where you don't have your main point of the picture fade into the background or have something that seems like it is attached to your object. This photo shows that the smoke is coming from the woman's back instead it is really behind the woman.

Pinhole Finale

The differences between my negative and positive:

• my negative is a lot darker and if you look closer you could see the car's windows
• my positive is a lot brighter and you can't see the car at all you can only see the back of the car, it looks like the top of an ipod

What happened to my negative?

The definition for negative is expressing or containing negation or denial. Negative Photography is noting an image in which the brightness valuesof the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas areshown as the darkest. 

My negative looks completely different from my positive because of the color contrast and my positive is a lot brighter than my negative. I believe my negative is a lot better because I can actually see the car a lot better. In my negative you actually see more things, in my positive it is so bright you can only really see the back of the car and all of the grass.
