Africa My reaction of what i read in the article is that i never knew that he started from a videographer of music videos for stars like Michael Jackson, Moby and more.  He was trained in England in painting and film. It was video directing that eventually led him to his current career as an African wildlife photographer. In 1995, while filming in Africa, Brandt became fascinated and fell in love with the wild animals and places. I like this picture because it shows how animals be out in the world sometimes and shows how cute animals are. The quote "On this earth, A shadow falls, across the ravaged land" was from a project that started in 2000 and i got interested because a shadow does fall and it could fall from anywhere no matter where you are at. The rules of photography used in this photo are shadowing, focus, and happiness because it shows love and love makes you happy. Shadowing because under the lion its dark. And focus because everything in the back is not focuse...

Some of the main points that i read about in the website regarding the manipulation images are  With issues like this to weigh along with countless others and including but not nearly limited to, upper-management pressure, ratings pressures, employee pressure and more. The philosophy of newspapers like the Washington post and the New York time regarding image manipulation is  increasing ease, editors, photographers, and just about any Joe-shmo can open up Photoshop and wreak havoc on the ethics of hardworking journalists. i think the acceptable things i could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation is anything to do to make the image to look better then how it actually looks in the regular image.  I feel like this is unethical because it shows the differences between the real picture and the one that was edited. Another thing i feel like this is unethical is because you can tell that by her hands and her breast that they made h...

1. The challenges I did to encounter wile taking these pictures is trying to get a good angle and good lighting.  2. The most technical aspect is framing because it was hard to find something that was framed and  and that was clear enough to be able to see what it was framing.  3. If i would retake the pictures i would probably change the angle and how bright/dark it was on the picture.  4. The things i would do he same are the same objects and the height i toke them in.  5. Yes i am interested on taking these prompts again because it was fun going around and seeing so many thing i could take pictures of. 

Happy I chose this picture because it shows two people being happy and enjoying their first year in high school. Another reason i chose this picture for happiness is because they are spending their time being happy. Happy for me is something special and something not a lot of people have but its important to me because it shows how people really are in the inside.  Metal I chose this picture because the picture came out good and the cloud in the back looks like peppa the pig and i just thought it was funny. Another reason on why i chose this picture for metal because it was the only metal i could fine and that the picture came out good the i took. Metal is important because then we wouldn't have what we have today like the computers, cars, phones, and buildings.  Bowie I chose this picture because it shows the entrance of the school and what you are going to see when you walk in. Another reason i chose this picture for bowie is becau...
