Final Exam study guide

1. Explain how to get to the server drives and your folder.
 You go to "my computer", then click on "server drives" and click on the T:drive, photojournalism, your class period, and then find your name.
2. Explain how we use blogger.com in this class
We use it to do our work and it helps us learn.
3. Explain the process of creating a pinhole camera
First you get oat meal can that is empty, second put black paper all inside of it, third cut a square close to the middle about the same size of  your finger, fifth cut a piece of foil paper a bit bigger than the square and tape it with black tape, sixth cover the top with black paper or tape to make sure that there's no light going into the pinhole, seventh make a small hole on the aluminum paper, eight put a piece of paper and a piece of tape so that way you can open and close it when your going to take your picture.
4. Explain how the pinhole camera works and how the image is transferred to the paper inside
Once you open the flap that had tape the light goes in and reflects onto the paper, but you have to make sure to open it for the exact amount of time so that your picture will come out good.
5. Know how to define and explain the 10 rules of composition, these 10 rules will be a MAJOR portion of the final and you better know how to recognize these rules, explain these rules and show me you understand them:
5a.  Rule of thirds: It's when your main object isn't in the middle of the picture.
5b. Balancing Elements: When you can clearly tell what your main object is and it's off to the side.
5c. Leading Lines: When there's a line along your picture and it leads to something.
5d. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition): When there is patters and symmetry that is man-made and it catches peoples eyes.
5e. Viewpoint: Think about where you will take the picture from it may add or take the affect from the picture.
5f. Background/simplicity: The background is clear and you can clearly see what the main object is.
5g. Create depth: You can see that the object isn't two dimensional
5h. Framing: When natural things make a frame along the picture.
5i. Cropping: When the object is to small crop the things around it and it will make it easier to tell what is the main object in the picture.
5j. Mergers and avoiding them:
6. Explain how action and emotion impact a photograph
I think that action and emotion can make a picture more interesting but it can also mess it up if it comes out with blurs.
7. Explain how a photo can "tell a story"
A picture can tell a story by the way it looks and if there's people you can tell by their face expressions.
8. Explain what the word "multimedia" means and share some examples of how we have seen them in class (on the blog)
Multimedia is used to advertise peoples products so that other people will buy something using models which are fixed by photo shop. An example is the one blog that we did on the model that was used to advertise.
9. Know how to correctly write a caption. I HIGHLY suggest you rewrite the rules on your blog and find at least 2 photos on the Internet, post them on your blog and write correct captions for them. This will be a MAJOR portion of the exam as well.
1. Aperture- an opening
2. Shutter- an opaque shield in a camera that, when tripped, admits light to expose the film or plate for a predetermined period, usually a fraction of a second. It is either built into the lens system or lies in the focal plane of the lens.
3. Exposure-  the total amount of light received by a photosensitive surface or an area of such a surface, expressed as the product of the degree of illumination and the period of illumination.
4. F-stop- the setting of an adjustable lens aperture, as indicated by an f number.
5. Single lens reflex-
6. Negative- noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.
7. Positive- denoting a print or transparency showing the brightness values as they are in the subject.
8. Contact sheet- a contact print, usually of all frames of a developed roll of negative print film, used as a proof print.
9. Agitation- he act or process of agitating
10. Enlarger- an apparatus used for making projection prints, having a head for holding, illuminating, and projecting a film negative and a bed for holding a sheet of sensitized printing paper.
11. Stop bath- an acid bath or rinse for stopping the action of a developer before fixing a negative or print.
12. Fixer- a chemical substance, as sodium thiosulfate, used to promote fixation.
13. Safe light- a darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.
14. Burning- the baking of ceramic products to develop hardness and other properties.
15. Dodging- to shade from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area

Choice Sheets

1.) I am interested in the yearbook class because i think that i am better at writing captions other than stories. It is easier for me to write short stories and not long stories. But i would be okay with either of those classes because i think that i should learn to write longer stories on photos.
2.) Yearbook spread:
3.) Newspaper:

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. The amusement park that i would want to visit is the one named "The Rocky Point Amusement Park, Warwick, Rhode Island." I chose that one because the it looks like it was a calm place in which you could take your family and have a good time. It had a good view of the water. But now they only have the parts of the park that they couldn't sell. Also i would want to visit that amusement park because there's no risk of going in and taking pictures.
     2.
     3.
a. old houses
b. a cell phone company
c. an ally
d. haunted places
e. an abandoned parking lot
      4.


5. I think that it would be fun to document this place because we can find out why it is abandoned and the reason why they didn't fix it up and sell it. Also because this house looks like its in the middle of nowhere. I could find out what happened to the people that used to live her and the reason for them leaving this house.
 
6. I think that i would have to take another person with me just in case, cell phone, a camera of course, and a flashlight. I would probably try and do research on this place for a few days before i go see it in person.

Portraits and self-portraits - start looking

Self portrait:
Favorite professional portrait:
I think that the things that make a good photo is that the photographer takes time to look and make sure that he or she has a good picture. They are into what they do, and they actually think about what they are going to do.
I want to take a picture of someone else. Because i think that, that would be more interesting to me. Also i want my picture to be a black and white photo.

Ethics In Fashion Photography

1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer.
The changes that were made in the model's face were that they made her lips bigger, fixed her hair, made her neck longer and thinner, her eyes bigger, her ears smaller, made her eyebrows longer and thicker, and her face skinnier.
2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?
I think that it depends, because if the model is okay with them doing that to her than there's nothing wrong with the people to change it. But it also gives people a wrong picture of how a model should really be.
3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?
Yes, because the models don't look like that in real life and they make other women feel unsecure of themselves.
4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't?
I think that it was okay for them to fix her hair, but the rest of the things weren't. Specially when they made her face and neck look thinner.
5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
In photojournalism we don't edit the pictures, like they do for fashion photography. They edit the peoples faces and their body. In photojournalism we take pictures and show people what we took a picture of and show what that person really looks like without the editing.
6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?
It makes people think that they should look like all of the models that they see in the advertisements.

Negatives Evaluation

1. From looking at your negatives, how many of your photos do you think turned out well?
I think that only 3 of my pictures came out well.
2. How many of your photos appear like they will not turn out well? Why do you think these photos did not turn out?
I think that 7 of my pictures will turn out bad, because there was to much light coming into it. I guess I didn't fix the exposure.
3. Select the negative image that you think will turn out the best when it is printed. Why do you think this photo will turn out well?
I think that the picture that will come out the best is #7, because it is the one that you can understand the most. The focus and the exposure appear to be good.
4. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) do you think are present in your best negative? What evidence can you provide from the appearance of the negative to support your answer?
I think that the focus was the best technical aspect on my photos because they are all focused and they aren't blurry. I think that i just needed to look at the exposure more.
5. What advanced composition techniques that you have learned in class are present in your favorite negative?
 On my favorite negative picture the composition technique that was used is "symmetry and patterns".

Photo Manipulation And Ethics

A.) The main points in the story are that photographers use photoshop to fix their photos. They add and remove things onto their photos to make them look better. By doing that some photographers get awards for their photos. Also another main point in the story is that some people use photoshop in a bad way they add things that weren't supposed to be in that picture. By doing that it might cause one of the photographers their job.
B.) I think that this kind of photo editing is unethical because the photographers are not showing what really happened, or how things really are. I also think that they use photoshop because they are unsecured of the pictures that they take.
    A.)
I think that this was the most unethical photo because it made the lady in this picture look bad. She would probably disagree with what they did to her teeth in the second article.
     B.)

I think that this was the less unethical picture because it appears to show how someone would feel if something happened to someone you loved, and the people around them would act like that. But they only changed the pole in the background.

Drug Cartels in Mexico

"Police officers routinely wear ski masks when out in public, or investigating crime scenes, to conceal their identities and protect the safety of their families." This makes it clear that even the police officers feel unsafe doing their job. They have to cover their faces so no one can recognize them and no harm will be done to their family members and loved ones. I think that its good that they are doing reports like this, so people can know whats going on around us. It isn't okay for "The cartels" to be killing so many people. I cant imagine how the people form Mexico specially the ones from Juarez feel every morning not feeling safe walking out of their house and going to work.

The picture that i chose as my favorite was the one with the officer wearing a mask over his face, has his gun in his hands, and has a lot of clothes to protect him. I think that this picture fits for background because it's background is blurry and he is the main focus. It can also fit for cropping because it only has his face and part of his upper body. I liked this picture because it has only one focus but it also shows how the police officers have to go to work so that no one would recognize who he is.

Making a Black and White print

1.) Materials:
• Lighttight film-processing tank that accepts the size of
film you plan to process
• Darkroom graduate or a 16-oz (473 mL) measuring cup
• Darkroom thermometer
• Several quart jars or bottles (glass, stainless steel, or
plastic) for processing solutions
• Stirring paddle to mix solutions
• Soft viscose sponge
• Darkroom timer or a clock with a sweep-second hand
• Scissors
• Bottle or magazine opener if you are processing film in
size135 magazines
• Protective gloves to prevent skin contact with chemicals
• Spring-type clothespins for hanging processed film to
dry
To make prints, you’ll need this equipment:
• Safelight, such as a KODAK Darkroom Lamp with a
KODAK OC Safelight Filter (light amber)
• Printing frame or enlarger
• 8 x 10-inch piece of heavy cardboard
• Four photographic processing trays a little larger than
the largest prints you plan to make (or shallow pans or
dishes made of glass, plastic, china, or stainless steel)
• Print squeegee or soft viscose sponge

2.) The chemicals you will need are:
Developer, Stop bath, fixer, and hypo-clearing agent. You can get these chemicals online at this website.
http://www.nationsphotolab.com/?gclid=CIqxmqHSh6UCFcFrKgodVi2dNQ

3.) First of all you have to make sure that there's no light going in the room where the process will occur. Than all of the chemicals are set up right, and make sure that you have everything you need, also the temperature of the chemicals have to be at an accurate temperature. Once you have everything set up you can start the process.
Now you can load the film onto the film reel, and put the film reel into the developing tank. Depending on the temperature of your chemicals that's how long you can keep the film in the chemicals. The order of how you put your film are developer, stop bath, fixer, and than the hypo-clearing agent. Finally the last step is putting your film on water for 10 minutes than remove the extra water from the film.

4.) 
1. Emulsion- a composition sensitive to some or all of the actinic rays of light, consisting of one or more of the silver halides suspended in gelatin, applied in a thin layer to one surface of a film or the like.
2. Aperture- an opening, usually circular, that limits the quantity of light that can enter an instrument.
3. Masking Easel- an upright tripod for displaying something
4. Exposure- the total amount of light received by a photosensitive surface or an area of such a surface, expressed as the product of the degree of illumination and the period of illumination.
5. Safe Light- a darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.
6. Dodging- to shade from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area.
7. Burning- the baking of ceramic products to develop hardness and other properties.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? Explain how you dealt with these challenges.
-The Main challenge that I had was that when I wanted to take a picture of someone I had to get close to that person and it made that person uncomfortable. So I just took some of the pictures from a far distance but not that far. Also looking through the whole was a little hard, adjusting the focus was also a little hard because I couldn't get the little black arrow in the middle.
2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
-The thing that I focused myself the most was with the focus, I made sure that the arrow was always in the middle and not all the way at the bottom or at the top. Also I made sure that when I was looking at the whole I could see what was happening was clear and not blurry.
3. Explain how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques you learned in class while shooting.
-The technique that I was thinking the most about was the "view point".
4. What would you do differently the next time you shoot to improve your photographs?
-Next time I will try to look around the school and check whats happening so that I can get some better pictures. I would not take the pictures in such a hurry like this time. Also I can try to go to the more interesting classrooms, where there's action happening.

Processing Black and White photos

A.  1.)
  • A metal or plastic film tank
  • Three dark plastic containers to hold chemistry
  • Graduates (used to measure chemicals)
  • A darkroom timer
  • A can opener
  • A room that is totally light proof (not even the slightest sliver of light should be visible).
  • Developer (see other sidebar)
  • Glacial Acetic Acid (optional, for Stop Bath)
  • Fixer (Kodak Rapid Fixer with Hardener is highly recommended)
  • Hypo Eliminator 
2.) The chemicals that you might need in a darkroom are acetic acid, and citric acid. You can get these chemicals her in USA at
5801 East Taft Road, North Syracuse, NY 13212, USA
Tel (315) 437 - 1086
Fax (315) 437 - 0432
Contact Toll Free 1-800-GO-WYNIT

3.) Go into the darkroom and then unfold the film. You have to make sure that there's no light getting into the darkroom. Then you load the film into the film reel. Once the film is loaded and placed in the ad cover you may turn the lights back on. After that you pour the developer into the film and make sure that there's no bubbles on it, after about a minute you pour acetic acid on it for 30 seconds so that the development would stop. Than you put water on it for 5 minutes and you, to take all the marks and white spots off pour hypo eliminator for 2 minutes. Wash it one last time for 5 other minutes, take them out of the tank and make sure not to touch the negative. Place them in a area where there's no dust. Finally in about 1-2 hours the film would be dry, you cut the film into strips, now you store the negatives in a clear glassine envelopes or PVC plastic negative pages.

4.)

5.) 
B.  1.) Contact sheet- a contact print, usually of all frames of a developed roll of negative print film, used as a proof print.
2.) Agitation- the act of attempting to stir up public opinion for or against something
3.) Enlarger- an apparatus used for making projection prints, having a head for holding, illuminating, and projecting a film negative and a bed for holding a sheet of sensitized printing paper.
4.) Developer- a reducing agent or solution for developing a film or the like.
5.) Stop Bath- an acid bath or rinse for stopping the action of a developer before fixing a negative or print.
6.) Fixer- a chemical substance, as sodium thiosulfate, used to promote fixation.

American Soldier slideshow and captions

A. I chose this as the most powerful picture because it shows you what the soldiers go through and what so much stress can lead to over the counter drugs and smoking.
B. I think that the most powerful slide show is the "army blues" because it shows the stress that the soldiers and also their families go through.
C. The slide shows work together to tell a story by going in order from when they sign up into the army up until when they go back home. It also has pictures that show their feelings.

A. The verbs are usually used from his point of view, and are in past tense.
B. The captions enhance the pictures because they are talking about what is actually happening in the picture. And they also tell you the actual date that they were taken.

John is in the army, he has to go to sleep early and wake up early he has pretty much gotten used to it now.
 
John just got back from his assignment both him and his girlfriend Julie are happy that they get to be together again.

Who said that John and his army friends cant have fun during their free time, we think its never to late to grow up.

A. The videos show the same things as the pictures except he is talking and telling us how he really felt.
B. The videos are better than the pictures because you can actually see how he is feeling and it tells us how the army really is. Also the videos have pictures and it have voice added to it so it helps us understand better.
C. The pictures are better than the videos because they have captions and if you don't understand whats happening in the video you can go back and read the captions.

Iraq Slide Show - Extra Credit

-I chose this picture for background because it has a plain black background. Also there's nothing else going on but the lady's face, and we can clearly understand whats going on and what his main purpose of the picture is. He took the picture from the front of the lady, that way we can see what face expression she is making.
 -I think that i chose this picture because you can clearly understand what's going on and the main thing that he took this picture. I liked that he decided to put a plain black background. And that he didn't crop anything out or put anything else on there. But i do think that it would of made it better if he would not had so much black space at the top.

-I chose this picture for creating depth because you can see that the desk, the persons, and the room have depth. One of the men is bigger than the other. The one that is standing seems to be smaller than the one sitting down so that's another way he created depth.
-I chose this picture for creating depth. There might be more photos that fit that rule but i liked this one the most. You can see where a 3-Dimensional item and also it has a pretty noticeable depth on the desk and on the two man. The shadows also help you see that there's depth.

Marlboro Marine

1)
    A. What skills besides photography did Luis Sinco utilize to produce this slideshow?
He used audio, him and another guy talked through out the presentation. Also he put some words in the presentation and he had good spelling. Also as the words passed he gave us enough time to read the whole thing.

    B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow?
I think that it was trying to show us what the war does to the people that take part in it. Also that they don't have fun shooting and killing other people. The war makes them change their personality. It may also even give them thoughts of suicide. Another thing that it may change the kind of people you talk to. Like him after he got back from the war he had a total different type of friends.

2)
    A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshow? Why?
To me the most powerful image in the slideshow was the one where the other soldiers were in the ground and the other soldiers were just walking past them like if they were nothing.

    B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
The sequence of photographs  that was the most powerful was where he was talking about how he had new friends, and that none of the friends he had before he went to war didn't talk to him. Because he changed a lot.

     C. How does the audio enhance the photographs?
The audio enhanced the photographs because the pictures that came up he would be talking about that subject. And he would describe what was happening.

    D. How do the images work together to tell a story?
They all happened in order of how the story was happening. Also as he talked he would describe it. And the pictures were in sequential order.

Great Black And White Photographers Part 3

The Thing That Caught My Eye Was The Flower. It Has A Good View, The Flower Looks Beautiful. There Was A Lot Of Pictures Of Flowers But The Reason That I Chose This One Was Because Its Not Of The Ground Or In A Base Like Most Flower Pictures, And It Has A Great View Of The Flower.
-I See That He Has A Main Focus On This Picture, The Flower. Its Background It Appears To Be Smooth Wood And On The Top Its Black. Its Kinda Plain And Doesn't Keep Out Eye Off The Main Focus, The Flower Which Is A Good Thing.
-I Smell Freshly Made Wood, Being Used As A Background. The Flower Recently Cut Off Its Stem. The Thorns In The Garden Laying On The Floor.
-I Hear The Birds In The Sky Singing Happily. The Wood Chopper Being Turned Off. And The Sound Of Little Kids Laughing And Playing In The Garden Where This Rose Was Cut Off Gently.
-I Taste The The Left Over Pieces Of The Wood Flying Through The Air, Going In My Mouth. And The Dirt In The Air, Its Mixed Together.
-I Feel The Rose Thorns In The Flower As I Cut Them Off The Beautiful Rose, The Rose Petals In My Hands As I Try To Find The Perfect Flower. The Soft Wood That Is Used As A Background.

By The Looks Of Both Of The Pictures I Chose I See That He Is Into Nature. He Picks Good Views. The Mountains Look Smooth, So Do The Clouds. The Thing That Mainly Caught My Eye About This Picture Is The Huge Clouds In The Sky.
-I See That There Are Some Big Mountains And Also The Clouds Are Huge. In Order To Fit All Of This In There This Picture Had To Be Taken Far Away. It Looks Like There Was Snow, Lots Of Snow. Also I See The Wind Blowing, And The Snow Coming Down From The Mountain Slowly.
-I Smell The Grass As The Air Blows It Away. A Weird Wet, But At The Same Time Dry Kinda Smell Of The Dirt.
-I Hear The Wind Going Through My Ears. The Small Animals Taking Steps. Snow Falling From The Mountain Into The Ground.
-I Taste The Snow As It Melts Slowly. The Tiny Pieces Of Grass That's Being Blown By The Air And On Into My Mouth.
-I Feel The Cold Snow As It Turns Into Water. The Wet And The Dry Dirt. The Beautiful Flowers In The Ground And The Grass.

The Negative Is Flipped , The Parts That Are Darker In The Negative Are Actually Lighter.
