Zone Focus: is when you find a specific area to focus in on, knowing & waiting for action to happen in that spot.
Shutter Speed: (how long the gate is open) Low shutter speed blurs motion and usually you will need to use a tripod to get a clearer picture. High shutter speed captures & freezes the action.
Panning: Capturing a moving object and blurring the background, making the object/subject as crystal clear as possible.Waiting for the
Pause: When there is an action taking place, there usually is a pause right before something happens; Waiting for the pause, is literally waiting for the moment before the real or intense action takes place.

This photo is great. Its an eye catcher because of its lighting. It's almost as if it were a bright moon light. The shape of the ring beam and the circle lights make this a fantastic photo.

Cover History
1. Early Magazine Covers- Back then the covers had the Table of Contents, unlike present time in which the Table of Contents would be the 2 page.They would also have a simple design, a title with the publication date, there was no indication of what would be inside.
2. The Poster Cover- These were a big picture on the cover almost like a portait to be hung in a house. They wouldn't even be related to the content of the magizine, it would portray the current season, or a mood.
3. Pictures Married to Type- These used Cover lines to attact the readers attention with different font and sizes. While they would also associate the words with the pictures and use that to obtain a readers intrest.
4. In the Forest of Words- This made cover lines just as important as cover art, covers used vivid, large, prominent cover lines. Some covers of this period contain cover lines that are actually larger than the name of the magazine.

Photojournalism Ethics
I believe that photojournalism ethics should be situational, because the fact that there will always be a exception that will make things right, and others wrong. Photo's can really capture the truth, if and only if the photo has no change what so ever besides, photo defects. It's wrong to change a picture that changes the truth. It's important to lay a foundation of rules of ethics, so you know that what they put in the news is true, and you don't have people publishing photo's that mislead the truth.
Fashion Ethics
I think it is okay to change a person's appearance, in the situation of a model agency.
Although it isn't okay to do it in photojournalism.
Cropping, fixing scratches, white spots, dust specs are all okay.
The difference of fashion photography and photojournalism is that fashion photography is okay to change the appearance because your trying to promote the clothing rather then telling a story. It's a BIG NO NO to do so in photojournalism because your supposed to tell the truth, and not manipulate a person's apperance or anything but actual photo defects.
In fashion it has teenage girls have the wrong picture of true beauty, because when you see people in magazine's their fake and put a distorted image of the real person. It doesn't effect ethics too much.
On the other hand photojournalism is SUPPOSED to tell true stories, and actual reality, and ethics is a big contraversy because, there are many situations in which it would be okay for one thing but wrong for another.

Photo Manipulation
The University of Wisconsin-Madison digitally inserted a black students face into the cover of their brochures. The reason for this was to show the racial diversity that is at the university. This was a big deal, and it is unethical, although the people who decided of what picture was to be put on the front cover, no one knew about the final mock-up till it was already printed.
The school was wrong for doing this, if you wanted to show diversity, take a picture of true diversity, rather then digitally putting it in. It was wrong, because if they have diversity like they say they do, a picture of it can be easily obtained.

Sport Pic.

Focal length of lens -EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM zoom
Shutter Speed -shot at 1/640
What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed? to capture fast movement
Aperture-What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture?f/2.8 is a lower depth of field making less things focused
Position - I would imagine that the photographer is on the sideline close to the end zone, near the pylon.

9/11 Composition
and lines leading to the subject(Newspaper man) while
still having the building stand out but not take too much
attention away from the Newspaper man.
Avioding Mergers- This picture is a very good picture but it could easily be improved by getting a different angle, trying to take this guys shoulder out of the picture.
Lines- This picture stands out very well because of the lines,which is whats left of the twin towers.

Balance- This picture balances out because, the poster board is balanced out by Osama Bin Laden being hanged.
The rule of thirds-This picture is great, the background doesn't take away from the real subject, the man which stands out, placing him in one of the rule of thirds intersections.
Simplicity- This picture is just simple.

After Printing Post
1. I took my negative strip and cleaned it with, Photo Flo, and then wiped it down with, photo napkins.
2. I then put the specific photo I wanted in the photo Enlarger.
3. I then focused my image on a plain piece of paper, then used the focus mirror thing to obtain the best focus possible.
4. I set the aperture, which is the lighting to a dim, not so bright.
5. I then took a piece of photo paper, ripped it so I can get a test strip, and added different amounts of light to achieve the best picture possible.
6. I then made my light exposure to 5 sec. and put my picture through the proper developing procedures.

Negatives
1.Some of mine had alot of water spots like -19,-24,-20.
Others were just out of focus, or i missed the shot i was trying to achieve.
The rest of them seemed good.
2.The best ones i have are -12, and -13 because they are in good focus, got a great exposure, and show good emotion.
