Abandoned Theme Parks

If i was to go to an abandoned amusment park with my camera, i would go to
the Russian Village, in Niigata Japan. One because it is in Japan. But the other is because
it was on a big piece of land which means more stuff to do. It has a hotel, life size statues of mammoths, a church where people got married, and a golf course. Which would be good ideas to take photos of.



1. San Zhi, Taiwan is an abandoned vacation resort.
2.
4. nothing has done a documentery, it was abandoned for some fatal accidents.
5. it would be fun, maybe scary but we would never know. Its just cool to be at a place that was just abandoned. They would be some good photos to take since everything was left how it was.
6. i would need money to take, a good camera, food, a plane ticket, film, my chemicals, i would understand the composition rules.

Ethics in Fashion Photography

1. Her lips were changed on the computer, They deleted some stuff in her face, they firmed her on head more, lowered her eyes, they moved her hair around, made her ear littler, made her eyes bigger, made her lips more fermer, and put some shade in her face.

2. I thinks its unethically unacceptable because its your changing the way someone looks but that is how the government will be able to make money by lying.

3. There is no circumstances for changing the way someone looks.

4. Some are okay like just adding a extra feature or stuff like that, But it gets to far when you have to put all that make up on, change every feature about her face.

5. Fashion photography is about modeling, girls taking pictures and changing the way they look, and photojournalism is when someone takes a picture and makes it in a photo or art.

Negatives Evalution

1. Hopefully atleast 4 photos came out good for me
2. 1 looks like it is messed up because it was under exposed so half of it is dark.
3. I think this photo is better because it looks good. not to much light or to dark.
4. The exposure and focus. Until i get my picture back i will be able to support my answer.
5. My photo has rule of thirds.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

A. The story was about people using Adobe photoshop and messing up the real photos
that were true and publised them. People were fired and lost there jobs for doing this.

B. I think its acceptible because some people can make the picture better or explain more about the picture. And no because it sometimes messes up the picture.



This picture was unethical because it messed up the lighting of the person. You cant really see him as much on the left photo.

This one isnt as bad as the others. Because they did meet up but they had to fake this photo. But it looks pretty real.

Drugs Cartels

What i think about this video, is that it is very sad. Because so many people are dying
everyday just because of these drugs. All these people have to witness deaths by either their family
or people that they know. Even the little kids are dying. The cartels dont care about anything.

A quote that i heard was that " the hammer can drop on anyone at anytime".

My favorite photo was the girl at the end with the one tear comming out of her face. It shows her feelings towards the drug cartels. The photographer used backround in his photo which allows the subject to pop out more.

Post shoot reflection

1. Some problems i encountered were some people kept looking away or looking straight at the camera. I just had to shoot until someone just concentrated on what they were doing.

2.  I was mainly concentrating on focus. Because that will make the picture look more clear.

3.  I attempted to us rule of thirds.

4. I would try to get more photos and take better ones. And not to rush
