1. Suk Han was pushed on to the rail road tracks by an unidentified assailant, when the photographer Umar Abbasi saw this he took his camera out and shot some of Suk's last moments in effort to try to alert the train that was coming with his flash.
2. The photographer said he took this photo to try to alert the coming train with his flash on his camera.
3. I think the photographer should have not taken this photo, instead I think he should have tried to save this person instead of just watching him get killed.
4. I think the photographer did not do the best thing in his situation because he just watched Suk Han get run over by a train instead of helping the man.
5. I disagree with the decision to run the photo on the front page of the New York Post because that just shows that the photographer was taking his job more seriously instead of a man dyeing right in front of his eyes, that is just sad.
6. I think to a photojournalist capturing images of life as it happens is more important to them apparently because this photographer just let a poor ini sent man die right in front of him and didn't even bother to help or at least try to help him survive.
7. Yes it is ethically acceptable for a photographer to involve himself/herself in a situation that he or she photographs because they could save somebody or try to.
8. Photojournalists should never avoid influencing events as they happen because it could be a life crisis event that is happening.
9. The response that stands out the most to me is Bethany Swains response, I totally agree everything that she said in that comment.

 |
| John and his wife Jade stand in front of the memorial of World War 2. They had a son who was in this war who passed away. |
2. Balancing elements: is like Rule of Thirds with your main subject but you have another object so that the picture is not so empty and balances out
3. Leading Lines: is when you have something leading up to your main subject in your photo
4. Symmetry and patterns: is when you have a pattern in your photo leading up to your focal point
5. Viewpoint: is where your view of the photo is with could be like ground view, up high, below
6. Background: is when you have a clear background and it not busy
7. Create depth: is when you have backgrounds over lapping like foreground, middle ground
8. Framing: is when you have a frame of trees or nature in front of your subject
9. Cropping: making the main subject pop out from the rest of the background
10. Merges and avoiding them: while taking a picture make sure nothing is coming out of someones head or people over lapping
Aperture: is a hole within the lens, which light travels into the camera body.
Shutter Speed: the length of time a cameras shutter is open, a fast shutter speed helps freeze the action. a slow shutter speed creates an affect called motion blur.
ISO: is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light.
You click on the camera (journalism rive) then you click on photoj and type in your student ID then your password. After you go to your class, click that then click on your name then bam.

Lytro Warm-up & Ethics in Fashion photography
Lytro Warm-up
1. You click on parts of the photo and it just focuses on that part of the photo and makes it look 3D.
2. I think this new camera works by focusing on one part of the photo, then another part and puts them together to make it look all 3D ish.
3. The photographer would know how to focus on different things in the photo, to make it have that pop out look.
4. Yes, totally yes! It looks so cool.
Fashion
1. Changes made to the model's face on the computer were her lips, eyes, her neck and also shoulders.
2. Yes it is ethically acceptable to change the models appearance in the picture, but I prefer not to cause now she just looks all fake and people look up to that, when really thats not how she looks.
3. Yes, because if she was in a all natural beauty shoot or a commercial, it would not be good.
4. Some changes that I think are okay, are like changing eye color or hair color, or maybe brighten the picture.
5. The difference between fashion photography and photojournalism is in the fashion world everything is either covered in make up and fake tans, and in photojournalism everything is real. Theres no photoshop or anything in the pictures.
6. They don't really have a relationship because like I said in number 5, its just a bunch of makeup and fake tans, and in reality people do look like that but not everyone. This affects the ethical practice of each by showing that everything you see in the fashion world is not always true in the real world.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO
 |
| Aperture setting F 16 |
 |
| Aperture setting F2.8 |
2. The smaller the Aperture a larger f-stop, the higher the Aperture the smaller the f-stop.
3. Aperture impacts Depth of Field by giving off a sharp look while the background is blurry.
A.) Low shutter speed
 |
| Low shutter speed |
 |
| High shutter speed |
B.) High shutter speed
C.) High shutter speed
D.) High shutter speed
E.) Low shutter speed
F.) Low shutter speed
A.) High shutter speed
B.) High shutter speed

2. Aperture Priority: is when you set the lens aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed.
Shutter Priority: is when the camera sets the aperture and you set the shutter speed.
Manual mode: is when you set the aperture and the shutter speed.
Shutter Priority: is when the camera sets the aperture and you set the shutter speed.

| ISO 200 |

| ISO 3200 |
2. Suggestions that the author made about using low ISO are that you should always try using the lowest ISO of your camera.
3. Suggestions that the author made about using high ISO are that you should only increase the ISO when there is not enough light or when you want to get a ultra-fast shot.
F4 - 1/125 it is blurry but you can still see the color of the background but mainly the couple.
F5.6 - 1/60 it is still blurry but now you can start to see more color and shape
F8 - 1/60 you can now see all the colors in the background but it is still blurry
F11 - 1/30 you can start to see the shape of everything but it is still kinda blurry
F16 - 1/30 you now see all of the shapes of the background but still a tad blurry
F22 - 1/15 you now see everything in the picture the couple and the background
At slow shutter speeds the people are very blurry and bright. Take this photo on a higher Shutter Speed. The lowest I think is 1/15.

American Soldier slide show and captions
A. I think the most powerful image from the slide show was 47 because it really shows emotion.
B.
Set #1 At home in Denver - #1-#9
Set #2 At basic training - #10-#30
Set #3 In Iraq - #50-#71
Set #4 Back in Denver - #72-#83
I think set 50-71 was the most powerful set out of all of them because he's in Iraq fighting for his country.
C. Each picture shows a different time that happened during his time in the Army.
A. They are in present tense.
B. The captions enhance the photographers by telling a story for each picture.
A. Image #8
Ian waited nervously in line with his friends Allison and George to go to Military camp. He has so many thoughts going throw his head. Like I wonder what this whole experience is going to be like.
Image #12
Ian suddenly feels a rush of air on his head, then looks at the floor to see where all of his hair went. His buddies wait nervously in line to get there hair cut next.
Image #14
Ian called home to his parents to see how they were doing and told them that he missed them and wanted to see them soon! He also told them that he was doing good.

Self portrait and self portrait Part 2 AND Rules of Photography Part 2
1. The best thing to do with self-portraits is to get them out there – sure, they’re great for learning, and good fun to take ‘em, but as a side-effect, you get some bloody great photographs of yourself, so why not just flaunt it ‘cos you’ve got it?
2. You may want to make photographs of people going about their business—vendors in a market, a crowd at a sports event, the line at a theater. You don't want them to appear aware of the camera. Many times people will see you, then ignore you because they have to concentrate on what they are doing. You want the viewers of the image to feel that they
are getting an unguarded, fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the scene
3. Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky. A light, stucco wall, a sidewalk, or any other simple background can suffice. Just be sure there aren't a lot of distractions around the surface you choose.
4. Environmental portrait
5. photography of self portrait
6. casual portrait
For my shoot I'm planning on taking pictures of one of my friends. I think it would be really cool to go shoot downtown were theres a lot of action going on and different backgrounds. What I will do to make the shot successful is make sure that I know all of my rules of photography very feel. So while I'm shooting nothing looks weird in the photo.
