Photo manipulation and Ethics 



  1. The reading was about what happened on April fools and why they named the first day of April "April fool's day''. The reason they named it like that is because on that day photographer Menahen Kahana edited a photo to make The United States think they send 4 missiles but in reality Israel only sent missiles.  
  2. I think that the type of photo editing is unethical because you can see that they edited the photo.  





Not good

 



This is not a good one because as you can see as you can see, the woman had tooth job and makes there teeth look better, and on the other photo the same woman's teeth don't look so good.

Okay 






As you can see Opera's head is put on Ann Margaret's body, but they made the photo look realistic and believable.

Post Shoot Reflection

http://lesliereneecontreras.blogspot.com/


  1. I like how the photos are clear.
  2. One other thing i like is how the angle you used to capture the photo.
  3. One thing you can improve is labeling the photo, zooming in on the metal.

National Geographic



The photo you see is my favorite because i like the details on it and also the colors it has. The one that took the picture took the photo at a good moment.

i would take a photo of a flower because its illustrates the world because its sensitive. The little things can do a big change on the world.

                                                 Best Photo


As you can see, the picture above it's the best picture i took so far, the reason why because like how both of the people in it are focused on one place.




                                        Worst Photo                     


                                                 

This picture is not the best i took, because it came out a little blurry and it didn't involve both of the people that were in front.
