Extra Credit.

1. Explain what happened to the man that was killed by the subway and how the photographer was able to take the photo. 

A man named Ki Suk Han was pushed by an unidentified person. The photographer claims to be trying to warn the train conductor by flashing the light on his camera.

2. Why did the photographer say he took the photo?

The photographer claims to be trying to warn the train conductor by flashing the light on his camera.

3. Do you think the photographer should have taken the photo?

In my opinion I don't he should've taken it.

4. Do you think the photographer did the best thing he could have done in this situation? Why or why not?

I don't think he did because if it were me I would've tried to call people over as quickly as I could to help me get him up off the track.

5. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post? Explain why or why not.

I disagree strongly with the decision to run the photo on the front page because that's kinda invading that man and his families privacy. Now all of New york knows about it.   

6. What is more important to a photojournalist, capturing images of life as it happens or stopping bad things from happening? Why or why not?

Sadly it's capturing life as it happens because as long as their not being effected by what's happening they'll take the photo.

7. Do you think it is ever ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs? Explain why or why not.

Only in certain situations. Because in this incident a man was killed but if it were something less dramatic then yes it's fine.

8. Should photojournalists always avoid influencing events as they happen? Explain your answer.

I feel in only some cases. Because in this case the photographer should've put his camera away and helped more. The way he said he tried to help was ridiculous. 

9. After reading the responses from the professional photographers, what stands out as the most appropriate response for a photographer to this situation.

What stands out is how everyone is saying how you can't really tell if what he did was wrong or right because no one was there in his position.

Final Exam.

CAPTION WRITING.

John Jones rides his horse through the bonfire on Saturday night in Boston. Jones rode his horse proudly after the boston union finally got their freedom from the U.S.

Governor Maddy Wilson yells at President Barack Obama Friday evening at the Austin international airport. Wilson yelled at Mr. President about not having signed the new state law for women's rights the day before. 

Bubba the Rhino flies back home to the African wild on Sunday morning. Bubba was carried back home after being treated at a near by hospital after being attacked by Lions.

PHOTO COMPOSITION.

In this photo one rule I can see is simplicity. It's simplicity because all you see in the photo is the man making a speech while there is no distractions in the background, just a blue sky. Another rule I see is Rule of thirds because the subject is in the bottom right frame of the picture.

In this photo you can see the rule of depth in it because in the photo you can look all the way down the tunnel of green trees and leaves. Also in this photo you can see Rule of thirds since the subject is in the bottom right corner.

In this photo you can clearly see the Balance with the Olympic rings and the moon. If you were to split the photo in the middle in will fit perfectly together.

In this photo you can see the rule of lines because the lines on the ground direct your eyes to the finish line. Another rule I see is Mergering and avoiding mergers because there is a runner in the photo where you can only see half of his body.

Self Portraits and Portraits

1. Obviously, you don't want to have to haul all out and run into the frame just as your camera takes the image. Give yourself plenty of time to get in position and figure out what you're doing. Most cameras let you vary the length of the timer, check your manual for how to set yours.

2. Bring Something to Focus On.

Environmental Portraits

I like this photo because it seems really peaceful.

I like this one because it really shows what the subject does in their environment.

Formal Portraits 

I like this photo because every time I see this photo I think of he one where he stuck out his tongue. It's totally opposite.

I like this photo because its really funny.

Casual Portrait

 I like this photo because this couple look very comfortable.

I like this photo because it seems like the subject is happy and peaceful.

Self Portrait

I like this photo because it kinda feels as if the camera is a gun.

I like this photo because its feeling balanced and eye opening.

I'll be shooting a self portrait in my room doing a activity. I'm not too sure what I'll be doing yet. To make the shot successful I'll have to be creative and unique about the photo. I will also have to have good lighting, positioning and set the timer correctly.
