Abandoned theme parks

1. I would really like to visit the Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan theme park, because it has a lot of the big roller coasters that i like. It also looks very interesting and kind of like old and creepy.




 3.  I also like these 5 parks: Okpo Land, South Korea; Prypiat, Ukraine; Russian Village, Niigata, Japan; Nara Dreamland, Nara, Japan; and the Koka Family Land, Shiga, Japan.
4.  No photographer has started documenting the Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan theme park.
5.  I really like how it has all big roller coasters, and this could work for my rule of thirds picture and viewpont. I also like how old the place is, it looks like i could find a lot of interesting items and tools to take pictures of.
6. I think i would need a lot of money and identification card in order to enter this abandoned theme park. I would also need a good, big, good quality camera to get my pictures in focus, since it looks like a huge theme park.

My first print

1. I don't think anything is in sharp focus.
a. What's in focus is the instrument and the person playing it. I don't think theres anything that's not in focus.
b. The background is a little out of focus, because of the distance.

2. There is good contrast in the picture. anything that is supposed to be dark is dark and what's supposed to be white is white.

3. I don't think all the rules were followed, but some were. ( like patterns, shapes, lines, etc) The subject does fill the frame. The photo does contain action as the girl is playing ger instrument. And it does show academics, you can tell this is a band class.
b. I will try to get more of the composition rules into my next pictures.

4. There are no yellowing spots on the picture.

5. No, there were no print rings on the picture.

6. Yes, my print, negatives, contact sheet, and test strips are all in my folder.

CAPTIONS:

In a school band room, students were playing their instruments. They are all walking around having a good time.

Portraits and self-portraits

 Favorite self-portrait
Favorite Professional portrait



















What makes a good picture is if it includes any of the rules of photography. Also the position in which the photo was taken and the shapes patterns and colors. The quality and how well the picture looks gives the finishing touch to a good photo.


For my next 12 photos, the style i would like to do is the self-portrait one.

Ethics in fashion Photography

  1. The changes that were made were that the neck was longer and skinnier, made her eyes look bigger, changed the way her hair was and put it in a new position, got the wrinkles off of her face, etc.
  2. I don't think it is acceptable, because it isn't her natural beauty and every girl deserves to express her NATURAL beauty, not something made off of the computer.
  3. This type of manipulation is wrong, because once the people try it they will not see the same results so it's basically a waste of money, because it isn't true.
  4. The types of changes that are ok are maybe the hair, and the wrinkles. The ones that aren't are making her face look skinnier and her eyes bigger.
  5. The differences between fashion photography and photojournalism are that in fashion they basically change the way something looks to make it look perfect. In photojournalism they just change the positions to make it a better picture, but it is still all the same.
  6. It is still the same person, place, or object and that's how it connects to reality. This makes it even more inappropriate to manipulate people.

Negative Evaluation

  1. Only 4 of the pictures i took turned out well.
  2. Like 8 of my photos, almost all of them probably won't turn out well, because of the bad composition.
  3. The negative image that i think will turn out the best is the first one with the orchestra class playing, because to me it is the one picture that looks clearly and has good quality.
  4. The technical aspects that are shown in the best picture is focus. You can tell by the way it looks. ( clear)
  5. A composition technique that is present in my favorite picture is the shapes and pattern.

Photo Manipulation and ethics

A. The main points of the story are that Manipulating photos is somewhat like a crime. Basically you, put someone elses face or something into another picture, causing it to be fake. Manipulating images has violations as well. This is cause people get offended due to this kind of act.

B. I think this type of photo editing is unethical, because it is offensive to many people. They are fake pictures which could result in a fine and they just a big violation.

 I think this is the most unethical, because it is basically all a lie, trying to make people believe that it was a miracle.
I think this is the least unethical, because it was used for educational purposes.
