EXTRA CREDIT

1. He was was ran over by a New York subway train after being shoved onto the tracks by an unidentified assailant.
2. He took out his camera and snapped pictures of Han's final moments in an effort to alert the coming train's driver with his flash that something was wrong.
3. Yes
4. I think he did, I mean I wasn't in his position so I don't know the whole situation but from the sound of it he couldn't really do anything else. At least he attempted to try and stop the bus driver.
5. That, I wouldn't really agree with. Unless the newspaper contacted the family of Han then I don't think it was a good idea.
6. Well for a PHOTOGRAPHER, of course capturing life as it happens is always a plus. But ANY person, photographer or not would rather save a life than to take a photo.
7. Not always, but if a photographer has an idea that can make a photo look really nice and would don no harm to anybody than why not have him apart of it?
8. Again not ALWAYS but if its an event that really doesn't have a photographer's business in then they really shouldn't partake in any of that event.
9. "It's very important for the public to remember that journalists play an important role and that they can often perform an important public service"  - Vincent Laforet

Lytro Warm-up & Ethics in Fashion Photography

Lytro Warm-up
1.The photo became more realistic and sharper it also whe you clicked the photo it made what was suppose to stand out more even more and blurred out everything else more that you didn't click
2. The camera works as a touch screen, Where you can take the photo and change the settings to a photo from  swipe of your finger. It's a lot smaller then the average camera.
3. The Photographer would have to know how to shoot in manual mode. The photographer would have to get used to the usual size of that camera. Also a whole new type of shooting style.


Fashion
1. Everything was changed in the ladies face in the video. They fixed her hair, Put make up on her & Edited the picture they took of her.
  
2. It all depends on the person that's getting there picture taking. If they feel like it's right then it's alright. If not then it's not alright.

3. I don't think so unless the person getting there picture taking is alright with it.

4. I don't think its ok to change types of food pictures because they never look like like what they do in pictures but if your taking a picture of a person its up to them i think.

5. Fashion has a lot more elements to do in the editing part of the photography, while regular photography has more to do as to taking the picture itself.

1 - If you’re taking photos in a studio, use a mannequin for light testing: Much easier than guesstimating!

5 - Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.
 
10 - Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.






 I chose this picture because I like how in the background there is a nice scenery w/ the mountain in the very back along w/ the trees. Then the truck behind the person shows what kind of job he is doing w/ the mans attire he is wearing.
