Photo Manipulation and Ethics




A. One main point I read about in this article regarding photo manipulation was about the program Adobe Photoshop and how you can completely change the original picture. Another main point I read about in this article was how in the past it took someone several hours, but now in the present, it is a matter of seconds.

B. The philosophy of newspapers like New York Times regarding photo manipulation is that journalism cannot be about original works of art unless it is labeled as such. They also say that sometimes their tools fail them, but they rely on what they saw and heard to edit the picture.

C. I think one acceptable thing you can do to a picture and not cross the line into an unethical manipulation is adjusting the brightness either brighter or darker. Another thing acceptable thing you can do is crop

I think this picture is the most unethical one out of all of them, because the original does not look like the edited one at all. One thing they changed that made it unethical was the color skin of the women from white to black. Another thing they changes was the hair of the women and they also added money to the background of the picture.

I think this picture is the least unethical one, because you can't really tell the diffference of the pictures. They didn't change the background or the story od this picture. However, they did change her body, making her face and waist slimmer. I don't really think this changes the emotion/story of this picture.

The reason why someone might take an HDR image is to get perfect exposure on their photos. 4. With one photo, we probably wouldn't see perfect exposure. It could be too bright or dark. With an HDR Image you can see a very balance exposure. After we merge all the pictures together, we can see all the varieties of exposure come together and form a perfect photo.

Landscapes Photography

1. If you want to get solid and nice pictures, you must have to have good weather. Plan ahead and make sure that you have good weather, so you can get nice/good lighting pictures. One thing you van do is check the forecast/location. 2. One app you could download to help when trying to pick the best angle is iDp app, because it helps you choose the best angle 3. The biggest problem with shooting with zoom is that the photo tends to be blurrier and can lead it to be out of focus. Another problem is that is might cut off something, which will create a merger problem. 4 .  A ND grad filter can capture both detail in the sky and landscape 5. An umbrella, a big bag that can close, and a towel so you can dry your equipment 6. You can capture different angles of the background and foreground 7.  The key is to allow the subject to influence the composition, rather than trying to force the subject to be the rule 8.
