Lytro Warm-Up

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo? It look pix-elated the took a few seconds to load
2. How does this new camera work? Takes a minute to process
3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)
4. Is it worth the money? I think so





Fashion


1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully) Lips, Eye brows, neck, cheek bones. hair line

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not? I don't believe so. Because its  like false advertizement. We would all love to be that beautiful but most of us wouldn't want to be changed. I don't think they should try to make something out of us that isn't us. Its all a lie. 

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? I think its ok to put on make up and make someone beautiful but don't completely change them to the worlds perception of perfect.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism. Photoj we don't change every detail about someone or something. we might tweek a thing or two. Fashion, everything has to be except-able to the naked eye.

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each? They both capture beauty of something, or someone.

ISO

ISO 200
 This is an example of a photo were they used ISO 200 if you pay close attention to it you can see that they actually blurred a lot on this picture because they used a lot bit of ISO.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

1. 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.

2. 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. 

                                          I really like this picture because the man is really handsome and dressed really nice, he has a happy smile.
 
I really like this picture because the lady looks so old kind of like a tree. The way this picture is taken, is really nice!


                                      I really like this self portrait because the man is being himself, funny and silly. I can relate because I always make this ugly face! 

This picture is a favorite because the lighting and contrast is really different from most self restroom. 

This is one of the very few actual casual pictures I found. The out doors with the leaves and light make it feel like Fall. Also the way shes laying down. Its not too much stiff posing. 

This picture also doesnt have to much of a pose. The really nice smile makes it a warm casual feeling. 


                        I'd like Alyssa Vargas be my model. That's who I will be taking my pictures of. 
I'd be taking Alyssa to the trail of lights. Where all the lights and the walk will be my set up as my background. Alyssa will look really nice in a jacket and some hot coco on a cold night!
