Usual and interesting photos


PART 1

1: My reaction to his work is its pretty tripy, I had to look at some of them closely to figure out what they were.

2: I think he made these pictures by using photoshop or something like that.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A: Someone removed female ministers from Kahana's image, it is a offense to clone other people into pictures at most U.S. daily newspaper. 

B: I think it is unethical to mess with other peoples pictures that they took. I mean if I was the one to take an amazing picture and I find out that someone else has removed thing added things to it and taking credit, I would be pretty mad!

A:
I think this picture was the most unethical because the soldier
was not even telling the guy with the baby to hold or whatever
and totally not pointing a gun at the man either, this photo is
just very fake and not real.

B:
I think this picture is not as bad as others, who ever made it
just added a "TIME" tittle and changed the effect on the
picture.

National geographic warm-up

This was my favorite photo because I really like the ocean so it made me like the picture.
The dark blue and bright blue in this picture are just awesome.
I really like how the photographer shot the picture on perfect timing.


I would sumit a picture about life, because thats what all the pictures are about in this contest.

First Day Photos


This is the picture I liked. I liked it because he's centered
in the middle, well not really but close. The lighting in
the photo is really good also.
                                     
This is the photo I disliked. I disliked it because he's face is
not faced towards the camera. I should have not took the
picture so far over.
