1. The man was pushed on to the railroad track, and the photographer happened to be there he decided he wasn't going to be able to save the man so he took pictures.
2. The photographer said he took the picture so that his flash would get the attention of the train driver so he would stop.
3. I don't think he was wrong to take the picture i just don't exactly agree with the picture being exposed publicly.
4. Personally, yes he is a photographer and his job is to take pictures, and I don't think he could have been any help to the man pushed on the tracks anyways, even if he wanted to.
5. I disagree with the publishing of this photo in the newspaper because it was a tragedy that harmed one not all and so i don't believe all needed to be informed so fully about this event in particular.
6. To me , it's taking pictures i mean that's their living and not everyone is capable of it, however everyone is capable of at least trying to help, so others can aid in the helping although photographers do however sometimes make the decision to help instead of capture.
7. Ethically maybe, but in my opinion i think it's necessary to choose whether you want to be part of the story or take the picture , depending on the importance of the situation.
8. Yes, because things may go different for the better or worse if they weren't involved and it is their priority to obtain the original scene.
9. it seems everyone needs to help first if there is an opportunity, then to take pictures second if not and to decide later whether it is necessary to publish such photos or not.

Semester Exam 2013-2013.
Part I.
Black Beauty, the horse or entertainment this year at the festival gets overly excited by the flaming fire after seeing it while passing by giving rides, she is a young horse and easily frightened, this fall in Buda Texas.
The hippo slumps in the water lazily after a long day in the heat Friday 13th at Sea World, in San Antonio.
As Issac decides to risk his life for his son, he shoots through the window to save their lives after an attack in Lubbock, Texas.
Part II.
The rule in this picture is lines, the rule of lines allows you to be guided through a picture or causes you to look in a certain direction. The photographer achieves this rule by off setting his position farther to the right allowing you to look down the picture and making the pathway in the forest seem longer.
The rule in this photograph is balance, the rule of balance it to create such a feeling in the picture such as symmetry or evenness. The photographer achieved this rule by getting most of the girls face and then on the opposite side is the small animal near her ear, the photographer achieves the big to small balance.
The rule of this photograph is also leading lines, the rule of lines again allows you to look into and through the picture. The photographer accomplishes this rule by changing his viewpoint, getting lower so you look into the picture and though the rain.
The rule in this picture is depth of field, the rule of depth of field make a picture look and feel longer or shorter depending on the aperture, you can the whole picture sharp and clear or have just the foreground be in focus while the background is blurry. The photographer achieves this rule by lowering the aperture setting therefore making the soldier the center of attention without any distraction since the background is blurry.

Ethics in Fashion Photography.
1) On the computer the elongated her neck, made her ayes wider, and took in her shoulders some.
2) To me and in my perspective no, the way you were made is the way you were made and you should be proud of it.
3) It's wrong either way but yes, there are circumstances in which this would be more ethically wrong.
4) I think make up and hair are okay because they aren't permanent, but i don't think anybody should ever go and change the way someones body is and or looks.
5) Photojournalism is about pictures and things that are happening in the REAL world, fashion and the models are mostly fake, altered and or changed to perfection and to please others.
6) Like said, photojournalism is what goes on in the bigger world and has to do with people and things, making it more wrong to change.

Lytro Warm-Up.
1) When i clicked the picture i saw that the spot i clicked, refocused.
2) The Lytro, takes in the entire light field when you snap a picture, allowing you to refocus later.
3) I think the photographer would have to know a lot about aperture, shutter speed & ISO.
4) In my opinion yes, it seems like cheating in away but i do think it's really cool, also it is more advanced and still less expensive than a regular DSLR camera.
Self Portrait & Portraits Part II.
1) Always be on the lookout for the telling moment. Every person has a story, and every picture should tell part of that story.
2) Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, and don’t be afraid to over-act.
I picked this photo because of how the photograper chose to use the girl's reflection from the window and what i really like about this picture is that she doesnt look like she went out to take a picture her hair is just sort of thrown up and messy.
I picked this picture because the strings from the guitar sort of lead to his face that's leaning on the guitar, something i really liked about this picture was how he sort of looks rough and tough the picture says he plays guitar and the tattoo sort of finishes the wild look.
I picked this picture because of how all the colors are sort of neutral and then her bright blue nail polish on her hands sticks out and i really like how she covers her face with her own hair, it gives a sense that she's shy or hiding in her own portrait.
I picked this picture out because it has kind of weird split-personality thing going on, and i really liked how her hand sort of lingers right near her jaw like she's trying to hold herself together.
I picked this picture because it is black and white so it leaves nothing left to distact, and i really liked how her outfit sort of made her personality seem dorky with the suspenders and all, and the lighting gives sort of a shine to her eyes.
I picked this photo because of the angle of the camera, it's kind of different and gives a different perspective, & i really liked how there's no expression at all on his face and i think he looks just so innocent.
For the portrait assignment i'd like to take pictures of my sister, Kaitlyn, possibly in our living room doing one of the crazy things she is constantly doing, like playing or sitting in the toy box reading a book or making a mess for example. To make sure i get a quality shot i will first watch her to make sure she is intrigued in whatever it is that she is doing that way i will be able to take plenty of pictures without her bothering to see what's going on.

American Soldier.
This picture to me was the most powerful just because everybody thinks it's always the mom's that get worked up about their kids leaving, but dad's do too, they just have to act stronger for them. And i like that he's worried about his dad and what's going to happen to him when he's gone.
The first set in this slideshow,"At home in Denver" goes from #2, to #1, to #6.
The second set in this slideshow,"At basic training" goes from #19, to #20, to #27.
The third set in this slideshow,"In Iraq" goes from #50, to #51, to #57.
The last set in this slideshow,"Back in Denver goes from #76, to #78, to #79.
I think the 2nd and 4th sets have a tie on being the most powerful, the second because you've just left everything you've had and then you have people tearing you down from even side, it's overwhelming and the 4th because you get to see how much your family and friends love, care, and miss you.
The images sort of work together to create a story by using cause and affect, by showing one scene and then sort of how it ended up turning out.
Most of the photo's in which Ian is the main subject, they are written in present tense.
The captions sort of enhance the photographs by telling and giving them more emotion so you know what's going on.
My Captions:
These guys, Johnny, Abe, William and Ian stay out of sight while discussing strategies before their practice run starts, knowing if they don't they'll have to make up for it later, early in the morning at about 4:00am in Fort Sumter.
Ian, an army trainee hides beneath the grass, remembering tactics from the practice trial earlier on in Fort Sumter and focuses on trying not to get shot, a couple months later in Iraq.
Ian, listens intently as the sergeant tells their mission, carefully looking him in the eye so he knows he has his confidence in him, at about 6:00 in the morning right before they leave for stations.
These feature enhance the photos by allowing you to look at his life like chapters or phases kind of like your going through the process with him.
Videos catch more or longer of something and have sound, which allows you to sort of hear the picture.
Photo's are better if the photographer is good, they let you capture a single moment and can let you see your own perspective in the way you want, though the picture.

Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO.
This photo was taken at the aperture setting of F2.8.
This photo was taken at the aperture setting of F16.
1) The part of the body that we should closely relate with aperture is the eye.
2) The smaller the aperture the larger the f-stop, and the higher the aperture the smaller the f-stop.
3) The larger the aperture the less depth of field you have so the foreground will be really clear while the background is blurry and the smaller the aperture the more focused the whole picture will be, both back and foreground.
This photo was taken using a slow shutter speed.
This photo was taken using a fast shutter speed.
1)
a. very fast
b. kind of slow
c. fast
d. fast
e. kind of fast
f. fast or slow
2)
a. very slow
b. kind of slow
c. not so slow
d. slow
e. slowish
f. kind of slow
The camera has three different settings regarding shutter setting.
Aperture Priority: which allows you to set your own aperture while the camera controls shutter speed.
Shutter Priority: which allows you to set shutter speed while the camera controls aperture.
Manual: this setting allow you to set both your shutter speed and aperture.
This picture was taken using an ISO of 200.
This picture was taken using an ISO of 6400.
The advantages of using higher ISO's at a sporting event or a night game would be being able to take low light pictures without as flash if you use a higher ISO but also higher ISO's can freeze motion.
Some suggestions from the author about low ISO's were to try to use it as often as possible, especially when there is plenty of light.
Some suggestions from the author about high ISO's were to increase it when they're is less light or if your taking a fast shot but not to lower it so much because it adds fuzz.
F 2.8 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/125.
F 4 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/125.
F 5.6 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/60.
F 8 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/60.
F 11 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/60.
F 16 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/30.
F 22 looks best at the shutter speed of 1/15.
At F2.8 and 1/4th of a second there's no background, so nothing is going on.
At F4 and 1/4th of a second there's still no background but you start to see a picture.
At F 5.6 and 1/4th of a second you can see only the outline of the background.
At F 8 and and 1/4th of a second there's more of the background.
At F 11 and 1/4th of a second you can see all the background but it's blurry.
At F 16 and 1/4th of a second the background still has a slight blur but it's darker.
At F 22 and 1/4th the background is almost perfect.
At slow shutter speeds the people come out very blurry.
To combat this problem, they can simply use a higher of faster shutter speed.
I think 1/15th of a second is the slowest shutter speed at which a photographer can hand-hold the camera.
I got an 80 on the first test and a 92 on the second one . I don't think i understand aperture, shutter speed and ISO exactly but yes, definitely better.
