Extra Credit

1) The man was pushed onto the tracks by a panhandler that was harassing him. It was moments before the train had came and the man Han was trying to push himself up but he was not strong enough. The photographer R. Umar Abbasi was able to take the picture because he happened to be there at that very moment.

2) The photographer took the photo because he was hoping to get the train drivers attention,by trying to stop the train. The only reason he could try and accomplish that was taking pictures with the cameras flash on.

3) I think that the photographer should have done both try many times to take the photo with the flash on.Then if it still didn't work try and get some people and try and pull the Innocent man Han up.

4) I don't think he could have done the best think in the situation because I still think if he could have tried at least pull Han up.And he was a witness when he saw this so I don't think he has a excuse for no trying .

5) I think it was a good decision to run it because I think the world should know what kind of people exist that are selfish and don't really think about the consequences of taking someones life and ripping it from loved ones that new the victim. Maybe next time people will be prepared .

6) I think out of those situations I'm going to go with  trying to stop bad things from happening because why take pictures then run it through the news paper when the photographer can try and be a hero a role model for the next generations to come. And when trying to be a hero the individual could possible save lives.

7) I think it s acceptable for getting involved in a situation even if it means losing a job. Its good to do something good the feeling as well that comes.

8)  They shouldn't avoid influencing events not only is it telling people but its good to know whats up to date right now.


9) The fourth response stood out the most because thats exactly what I would have done.

Review- NOT FOR A GRADE

World Pie Championship jury member John Young poses with two scotch pies during the judging of the competition in Dunfermline, Scotland.  
 This month at the Sugar bakery located on burnt rode Larry White is holding up two mini cherry pies. Last year the bakery was swarming in with black smoke that made the bakery look like darkness has taken over.   


  1. The rule of thirds is when a picture is not directly in the middle and 
  2. Balancing elements is when there is a equal amount of objects on both sides of the picture.
  3. Leading lines is when the eye is following something in the photo like a winding road.
  4. Symmetry and patterns (repetition) is finding elements that repeat in a photo like similar colors or lines of a fence.
  5. Viewpoint can create a dramatic effect based on where you (the photographer) position yourself.
  6. Backgound is what the subject is in front of.
  7. Create depth is requires no work, simply taking the photo and letting the reader explore.
  8. Framing is when the main object is framed by objects in the foreground.
  9. Cropping is cutting off some of the photo to make it better.
  10. Mergers and avoiding them is when you make sure a color of an object isn't blending in with another object.  There's near mergers (colors/shades) and border mergers when part of the objects is cut off in the photo.
3. 
  • Aperture is how big or small the opening is.  It's also known as the F-stop.
  • Shutter Speed is how long the exposure is open or how fast.  Do fast to capture motion.
  • ISO measures the sensitivity of the film.  Higher ISO are used in darker settings.  Higher ISOs create grainier images.
4. Manipulating a photo is NOT ok if it changes the meaning of a photo.  There are also rules about changing the colors.  It's ok to crop photos, but don't leave off an important part of a photo.  You can lighten or darken a photo if it doesn't change the meaning.

5. 
Environmental portraits are where background or environment is included in the photo and it helps complete the story by including it.  like a photo of a fireman or the President in the White House.
Self is taking a picture of yourself. 
Casual can be posed or unposed. The setting could be outdoors and natural environment vs. a studio.

6.
Exposure - amount of light that's in a photo.  Determined by shutter speed and aperture.
Depth of Field is distance between the the objects up front and behind them and how sharp or blurry they further things are.
Focal Length is the distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus.

7.Early magazine covers - were drawings or illustrations because cameras didn't exist or weren't around much.
Poster - unique image  and not too many words so it could be used as a poster.  A photo.
Married to Type - words surround the photo
Forest of Words - words are everywhere and distract from the subject

Deadlines,Arggh!

1)  The word comes from Civil war prisoners  that could not cross a line.

2) Today now a days if the deadline is missed  then points would be taken off each day and grade could be dropped along with it.

3)  I don't have issues with meeting the deadlines in other classes I'm always up to date with them.

4) I do not miss the deadlines but  sometimes I put them off to the last minute and get it done.

5)  what kept me from missing the deadline is I did the assignment early.

6) I  plan to complete my task by doing my work at home or my off period.



1) Out of the eight suggestions I think 7 or 6 would help me since the bus drops me off near five thirty and when I get home I need time to chill with my phone.

2) The distraction I think I have a hard time getting past because I can get easily distracted.

3) I am a night person.

3A)  A challenge I had was I had volleyball practice every Wednesday evening and now I am having to deal with french club and key club.

4) A dedicated schedule could be creating a consistent schedule to doing school work.

5) Things I could do to eliminate distraction is put my phone away from me so I'm not tempted and another thing could be to sit at the bar/island in the kitchen. Lastly I could try and set myself a goal
after I accomplish a part on my homework.



1) A good correlation is when working on something ahead it could help with an advantage to having time left to do whatever.

2) I would be working in the kitchen listening to music .

3) My phone going off with snap chats would be my biggest distraction.

4) Things I could do to eliminate distraction is put my phone away from me so I'm not tempted and another thing could be to sit at the bar/island in the kitchen. Lastly I could try and set myself a goal
after I accomplish a part on my homework.
