2-3 Best Tips: 1. " The first order of business is to engage your subject. This is where we all have to learn to overcome our shyness and approach people in an open and friendly manner. Be up front about who you are and what you're doing. Don't just barge into a scene with your cameras blazing. In fact, it is usually best to leave your camera in its bag when you first approach people, so as not to frighten them. Take time to engage the person in conversation, just as you would if you didn't have a camera. Remember the Golden Rule. Think about how you'd feel if someone approached you and wanted to make a photograph. How they did it would determine how you would respond." I like this tip because it helps photographers get to know the subject and make them feel comfortable. When the subject is comfortable they'll probably pose more confidently and end up being in a nice picture. 2. " The person in your portrait is the main point of interest – howeve...

What are some of the main points you read about in the website regarding manipulating image? Some of the main points I read about inn this article was about ways people can manipulate images. It also talked about what ethical means in terms of manipulating pictures. The website gave many examples of unethical photos that were manipulated so it was less difficult to understand. B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times regarding image manipulation? Newspapers manipulate images because the camera can't always capture what real life actually looks like. Putting these images into a program like Photoshop can alter the picture, making it look more lifelike. They also manipulate images because they want to crop the picture to fit it in the frame they need. Most of the t...

Long Response: Summary: This article talks about the challenges in being a child actor in modern times. Back before social media was around, there were far less issues these kids had to deal with. Now, they are being forced to grow up quicker because adults and other kids are making inapropriate comments about them, despite their young age. 1. Some challenges child actors have include extreme criticism in the media. This means that child actors could be called awful things with little to no censorship. Another issue is that magazines tend to sexualize these kids and treat them like adults. Interviewers ask awkward and not age-appropriate questions. A big problem is money...

This picture is an example of cropping because there's a very clear subject. The woman holding the pictures is what the camera focuses on. The background is not busy, it's blurred, and the camera is zoomed in on the woman holding the pictures. You can clearly see the photographs on her paper, since the background is cropped, so you can focus on her and her paper with the pictures of her friend.

This picture creates depth because you can see how far the road goes, how many people are walking and running away from Manhattan. On the left side, it's very crowded because that's the left side of the road, where people would exit the city. The right side of the dividing wall is where cars drive, so it would be dangerous to walk on that side of the road, which is why more people are on the left. But some people are running on the right side, because desperate times call for desperate measures. You can see the depth in the left side on the picture, so many people trying to leave the city at once.

This picture shows a unique viewpoint, since most pictures of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are from the viewpoint of a New York City citizen. But this picture was taken in New Jersey, close enough to NYC to see the buildings collapse. This gives a viewpoint from someone else who probably wouldn't be extremely affected by the event, but they would have to live with the knowledge that people were under those buildings when they collapsed, people inside them. This picture really tells a different story than closer up pictures of the towers because it's from a new perspective.

This picture shows symmetry because the alleyway seems to be mirrored. The buildings on the side look very similar, identical. The road, caked in debris, also helps to create the image of symmetry. There's a pattern in the road as well, the sidewalks on the edge, and small pieces of debris scattered where the cars would drive. The only part of the picture that doesn't seem symmetrical is the point of emphasis, the person walking. This person is farther away from the camera, so they're not enough to distract from the symmetry in the road and buildings.

This picture is an example of a merger. Taking pictures of mirrors will always be difficult because of the strange angle that you have to get in so the camera won't be in the frame. The subject is unclear, it's mostly the man in the white shirt, but then the whole other picture is taken over by the pictures of victims. The mirror seems to merge with the mirrored image of the people looking at the pictures.

This picture is of part of one of the planes that terrorists hijacked. It's an important subject because the object the camera is pointed at has a story behind it. It could be difficult to capture a big, bulky, plane part like this well, but the photographer managed to do it by framing. The frame in the picture is the dark green grass in the background, contrasting to the bronze-colored metal. The grass background acts as a frame, allowing for no distractions.

This picture expresses balance because it seems like there are two lines of people. They balance each other out, filling the frame well. It's sort of a zig-zag, the way the people are located in the picture. The man with the yellow tie in front is closer to the camera than the woman to the left and back of him. The man in the blue shirt seems to be behind both of them. This pattern of people walking, seemingly in a line, really balances out the picture well.

This picture's main element is clearly lines. There are many different types of lines in this picture, but the clear, more important ones, are the diagonal smoke lines, and the vertical lines of the building. You can see the people inside the building, some about to jump out, because of the other contrasting lines of smoke and fire.

This picture follows the rule of thirds because the main subject, the man holding the sign, is located on the right side of the picture. His sign, O+, his blood type, is closer to the middle. This contrasts from the rest of the picture since it's zoomed in and not perfectly centered which makes it interesting. There is also an interesting background, but it still doesn't distract from the man, which makes it a very good picture.

This picture meets simplicity because it has one clear subject, the woman, and the background isn't distracting. The view can clearly tell what the subject of the picture is.

Short Answer: 1. La Veta, Colorado 2. The cartoon has to do with Trump's recent insulting tweet to Kim Jun Un, saying that he has a bigger nuclear button. The picture shows Trump with a bigger button over his mouth, and Kim Jun Un has a smaller one. This basically means that he needs to watch his mouth more than the Korean leader. 3. Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich DePalma, and Shane Sexton 4. There's 5. Sabrina Bianco, Caitlin Godwin, Keara McGraw, Kandace Blackburn, and Kyndall Johnson. 5. I'd want the Fitbit Alta HR because it has a long battery and it can track your steps, which is cool. Long Response: 1. The book's title is called "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." This title depicts Trump as a bad person, a brave move. I probably would've chosen less of a bold title, but I guess that's the author's choice. 2. Trump and his lawyer want the book's sales halted because it supposedly includes false statement...

Favorite Pictures of 2017 1. I really like this picture because it shows how many people are joining together to experience a natural event. It shows that people are able to take a moment from their busy lives and witness this moment that nature gives us. 2. This picture is very important and I really like it because it demonstrates how the people praying care about others. Nearly every person in the picture is kneeling down, praying for each other that they'll be okay because of the travel ban. It's also very sad, but that's what also makes it so important. 3. This picture is very important and probably my favorite because I love the camera angle, but also the story behind it makes it even better. It shows that the villagers who placed the flowers on the deceased elephant care about their environment and respect it, something that isn't so popular in our cultures anymore, which is very sad.
