Unusual & Interesting Photos

Part 1

1. My reaction is that the picture he takes are unique and I've never seen then before but they also made me dizzy.
2. I think he took multiple pictures sideways and cropped them together and made the pictures fade away
3. I think a good building to take a picture like this is the eiffel tower. It is located in Paris, France. It is very big and well known in the world it will not be easy to access since its so far away. 

Part 2

1.  I picked this photo because I think it's good that even though this little girl doesn't have her own foot she is still able to stand up and walk like a normal little girl.
2. Local Portrait & Personal
3. Honorable Mention, Local Portrait & Personal
4. How he took the picture at first I thought it was a barbie doll until I looked closely and saw it was a real foot.
5. I think what is attracting the judges is the picture because it looks strange but then after you read the information you understand.
6. I think he had to find a little girl without a leg and just take a picture of her feet only. 

1. I picked this picture because it looked interesting at first I didn't understand what was going on until I read the information.
2. Enterprise Picture Story (smaller markets)
3.  1st Place, Enterprise Picture Story (smaller markets)
4. He made it seem like the grandfather fell asleep taking care of he's granddaughter while she was playing with a cable.
5. I think what caught the judges attention was the information not so much the picture.
6. He had to take the picture in a different angle to get the picture to send a different message.

1. I picked this picture because I like how the clouds are so close the the land.
2. Environment (nature, wildlife) Picture Story
3. 3rd Place Environment (nature, wildlife) Picture Story
4.  He caught the clouds really close to the land before the storm started it looks really cool and looks like if you stand their you can touch the clouds.
5. I think what caught the judges eye was how close the clouds are to the surface it looks like its fake but its real because it was token by a photographer.
6. The photographer had to take the pictures from different angles to see were it looked better. 

Part 3
1. Never stop looking for the right angle to take a picture. 
    Photographers should always look out in the environment to see if it has to do with their subject.
An example of your subject can mimic the environment.

4. Yes the photographer took the suggestions fully because it looks very similar to the real one.

5. Probably the center of the photo might have encouraged the artist to draw this flower. 

Photo Manipulation & Ethics

1.
The story was about how April 1 is April Fools for us but in Israel its portrait day. One day when they took a picture of a cabin there was two men and a women but they cropped a man into the women to call it the male cabin. Ever since that day its been manipulating pictures in the Middle East. In America its a big deal manipulating pictures but in the Middle East their okay with that and famous photographers do that and publish the manipulated pictures. 

A.
I think this type of photo editing is unethical because its a discrimination replacing a women with a man in the picture. I think its unfair and rude to take a picture with someone but when its published you don't see your self and you see they replaced you it must feel horrible. 

2.

Unethical 

This picture is unethical because they made him look darker than how he truly is. they are trying to hide he's face in the second picture and they also changed the title. I think its very rude to change to skin color of a person. 

A.

Ethical 

This picture is ethical because in the magazine NewsSeek they fixed her teeth to make her look better. I think its rude but its better because they got her to look good and not be judged by her teeth but I think it would have been better if they would have told her what they were going to do in the picture they took. Its not as bad as the others because they actually manipulated this picture for a good cause not to block someone or crop them out of the picture. 

National Geographic Warm-Up

This is my favorite picture because i like how they captured a volcano erupting turing into a  volcano. Also there's lightning and its red and looks like fire this picture just looks unreal. I like how the photographer got this picture just in time to capture the moment of a volcano's lava inside a tornado. 

The picture I would like to take is a picture at the beach with a huge wave coming forming a tsunami and the people face expression as the wave gets closer. 

Touching People

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?

I think this is a pretty weird and strange project to do but the people in the picture don't make it seem like their strangers.

2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?

I would say sure because it must be pretty fun and would like to help the person with their project.

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.

I would plan on taking pictures of people making funny faces and walking weird say hi to people and take pictures of the people reactions.

4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, are the photos good? Do you like looking at them?

I think this pictures are pretty good and are taken in a good angle and position and yes, I did like looking the pictures they all had different expressions and were kind of funny.

My first photos

 This is my best picture because I have her looking at the camera. Even though its not really good in focus I like the color and the angle of the picture. I also like that it isn't blurry and is good in zoom.

This is my worst picture because she isn't facing the camera. Also I don't like how zoomed in it is I would have liked if it was even more zoomed in. I also dislike that i got the speaker in the picture I would have like just to get the model.
