Negatives Evaluation

1.  I think 11 of my photos came out well.

2. I think 2 of my photos didn't come out well and the reason is because the light was really bright and the photos came out a little more white than it was supposed to.

3. 23 Because all of the colors and the way it was taken was taking really good.

4.  The focus, exposure and the lighting is all in the picture. All the colors in the picture looks really good and really focused.

5. Well when I took the picture I really wasn't thinking about the rules, I was mainly focused on the topic the picture was supposed to be about.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

1.)
A.The main points in the story was that in Los Angeles Times a staff photographer Brian Walski was fired- ironically- on April 1, 2003. Lebanese photographer Adnan Haji submitted at least two digitally- manipulated images to Reuters during the 2006 Lebanon War. During the same conflict, Issam Kobeisi made two images to Reuters and Hussein Malla submitted one to AP of a woman wailing in front of a bombed house.
B.  In one of the photo's that I've seen on the websites is unethical because there was a woman in her knees but in the copie, there were background changes but they didn't look great as the first one.

2.)

A. I think this is unethical because look at the photo, The guys hand doesn't look real and the heads are to big. The Daily News isn't great at making great photos.

B. I think this is the least unethical because nothing has changed but the woman's teeth. everything has more color and the woman looks older than the guy next to her.

Drug Cartels In Mexico

1.This story was very interesting and had a lot of information on crazy events that happen and are discovered in the drug cartels in Mexico. The day they found the abandon car with all doors open and trunk open with a body wrapped in the back and a bullet in the head was shocking because how far they go in the drug business to hide someone or how they kill someone. The drug cartel in Mexico seems really bad and hard to stop there wont be a end to it any time soon with all the stuff that goes on in Mexico's drug cartel.

2. The photo I picked was the car with all doors open and a popped trunk and a body in the trunk wrapped up with a bullet in the head. The car is abandoned in the middle of no where just sitting there with everything open there probably a smell coming from the car because of the body in the back which you can see is wrapped in a blanket. This photo follows the background rule because all of the background is just plan desert and the viewers eyes can focus on just the abandoned car and what is in it.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. I had to make sure the light in the room was right and that I took the picture when they were focused on their work so their emotion wouldnt change when they knew I was actually taking a picture of them, and while taking the picture I had to make sure that the picture was focused and not blurry.

2. The most technical thing about taking the picture was that I had to make sure that the exposure of the light wasnt to bright or to dark.

3. When I was taking pictures I was thinking about taking a creating depth picture because I only wanted to focus on the main subject and that was the students doing work, And I had to make sure that I didnt have any mergers in the photos.

4. I would take more time to make sure that I had almost all of the composition rules in all of the photos.
