1. I think the guy on the computer is in sharp focus because you can start seeing the details on this shirt.

a. The two people is the ones that are in focus but the computer and the chairs in the background are not in focus.

b. I think the cause of them not being in focus is that I did not take my time and focus in the picture.

3. Some of the rules are in the picture like fill the picture with the subject.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

A. The main points in this story was to show how photograpers went to far and started to mess with the pictures and tell false info about them.


B. I think that this type of photo editing is unethical because they are changeing what happened at that moment and that when you take a picture you want the capter the moment not change what happened at that time.

2. A.The picture that i think is the most unethical is the one with the missles because why whould u tell the public there was 4 missles that launched but only 3 realy did. That would mean that the missles were not working right and they might feel unsafe.

2.B the one that is the least unethical is the guy standing next to thelong metal pipe. Its the least unethical because they jusy messed with his hand they did not change nothing major to it.

Post shoot reflection

1. Some challenges that I encounter was that people would cover there faces. When I was trying to get close people would stop working and they would look at the camera. The pictures that I took that had good moments they were working.

2. The one thing that I kept on looking at was the camera angle what I was in like was I getting the full picture the full emotion in it.

3. While shooting i would try to get some leading lines that would lead to person I was shooting. Also I was trying to get a good camera angle.

4. Something that I would do differently is that I would take my time and not rush and look at the light meter and look for some of the composition techiques.

Processing Black and White photos

First this you need to do is to load the film onto the reel and put it on the tank. Now lay the stuff infront of you and learn were they are and what they are. After you learn were they are u need to turn off the lights.

Step 1: In the dark, take the film from the cassette, then pull the flat end off the 35mm canister and unwind the film and take the end of the film from the spool by peeling off the tape IN TOTAL DARKNESS!

Step 2: Load the film onto metal or plastic film reel.

Step 3: Now load the reel in the film tank and cover it and now you can turn on the lights.

Step 4: First make sure the temperature of the chemicals is good, development is directly affected by two things the speed of the film and the temperature of the developer.

Step 5: You need to poor the developer into the open part of the film tank, and then cover it. DO NOT OPEN THE TANK ITSELF! Turn the tank upside down every minute. When it is facing up again youu need to tap it a couple times to get rid of any air bubbles that might be in there.

Step 6: pour running water into the pour spot for one minute to stop the development. You could mix some glacial acetic acid with the water and let the film set for 30 seconds to get the developer off. This is know as stop bath.

Step 7: Now to use fixer with hardener to help protect the negative from getting scratched. This will take about 5-10mins, After this you need to inspect the negatives.

Step 8: Now you dont have to worry about letting light get on the film. Remove thej tank cover and let it sit in the cold water for 5mins.

Step 9: You need to get al the fixer ogg the negatives to avoid the white stains on them. Pour a tankful of Hypo Eliminator and let it set for 2 mins.

Step 10: The last wash for 5 mins.

Step 11: pull the film out of the tank. DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFAVE OF THE NEGATIVES! use washing pins or film clips to hang the film to dry in a dust-free area.

Step 12: In about 1-2 hours, the film will dry annd u need to use scissors to cut the film into strips of six long negatives. Do not cut the film it self just the space you can cut. Store the negative in clear glassline envopes or PVC plastic negative pages.
