Lytro Warm-up
1. when i click on the photo it focuses only on the particular part of the photo that you clicked on and the rest of the photo goes blury.
2. I do not know how the camera works.
3. well we need to know how to practice using this kind of camera and knowing the new cameras features and then when all goes well then you will know how to take these kinds of photos.
4. Is it worth the money? well in my case i would say yes and no because people who are crazy about new cameras and added features and or want the biggest newest camera then to me that would be the people and worth their money. But unlike my self then i guess it wouldnt be worth the money because i usually dont take pictures or rarely use it and thats my side of how i feel sometimes. and sometimes it would be worth the money because the camera is better and upgraded and better use of it and to take pictures of people and to take pictures of random people to make them Camers-shy because its fun.

Self-Portraits Part 2 Good Tips For A Better Self Portrait
1. Take a photo of yourself
2.- If you can, hook up your camera directly to your computer (or, for extra-fancy bonus points, your TV) so you can see your pictures come up as you take ‘em. It’s a lot easier to iterate and to make gradual improvements to your photos that way
3.Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit

Portraits and Self- Portraits
3. what i think what makes a good photo is when someone is neatness and the photo is a good photo. Also the background could help with the good of how the photos comes to turn out. Then the person that's posing for the picture should be neatly dressed in appropriate clothing to where the photo is cool and fascinating

Ethics In Fasion Photography
1. things that were changed to the model were her shoulders were put a little down and her skins tone and made her head a little smaller.
2.i would say no because it might offend the model because she might say " thats not me" than she might not like it or something.
3. there is a circumstance that changing her apperance because like i said it could offend her or either she would feel more better knowing that, that manipulation could boost her self-esteem.
4. In my opinion i would say that some changes would be to dont put me skinnier because thats not the real me because i would probably wouldnt like my appearance and other changes i would not like is the color of my eyes, hair and re-arranging my face image.
5. 1 difference in fashion photograpghy is that they make the image better and enhanced and more professional but, photjournalism is just a plain picture and nothing has been enhanced.
6. the relationship it has on reality is that some pictures could be non-reality and some reality. it would effect reality and some people would think "is that real?" which really it isnt real.

Extra Credit Post- Former Gang members
1. Link the website you visited and make sure your blog is titled the same as I named it on the akinsphotojblog.
2. Briefly describe what you looked at on the website (2-3 sentences, make sure you write enough to really make it clear that you spent time looking at the website). i looked at his website at former gang members and how they changed their lives. Also whoever took these photos must'ev found their tattoes interesting and took pictures of them.
3. What did you learn new? what i learned is that these pictures were acutually mugshots and the photographer made them beatiful pictures instead of them beind ugly photos.
4. If possible, post your favorite photo from the site.
5. If you have a photo to post, please answer the following questions:
a. Why did you pick this photo? i would pick this photo because it means that a former gang member has changed his life and he changed his life for a reason.
b. What rules of photography do you see in the photo? i would have to say rule of thirds.
c. Who took the photo? Adam Amengual.
Photo Manipulation and Ethics
1. the Summary of the story was that manipulation can get you into trouble because someone manipulated with the rockets and made it seem like if the practice missile lauch was a success. but, one missile failed to fire they took photoshop and used it for the fourth missile. so they are so many things to use in photoshop and manipulating pictures is fun in my advantage that manipulating photos are really not the real pictures.
2. i would say that this photo editing is unethical because we want to see the original photo of whatever happened or whats going on because if we see a manipulated photo than we are going to believe that photo instead of what really happened.
3.
i think this is the most unethical because of the realistic of what would the soldier do if someone approaches the soldier and what would he do than he would just stand there.
4.
this is the least ethical because they manipulated her teeth becuase they really dont look good on one picture but the other one is changed her outer image to make it look natural.

National Geographic Warm-up
1.

3. i would like to take a picture inside of a tsunami or a hurricane so everyone can see what they look like in the inside and how beautiful it looks.

Abandoned Amusement Parks
1. Takakanonuma Greenland, Hobara, Japan because its so amazingly sad because its like abandoning a child in the middle of nowhere. I would also like to visit there with my camera to take pictures and explore how abandoned it is. The part that makes me wanna go there is because that the rails of a rollercoaster are rusty which make it more interesting because its been there a long time without a soul looking around the place and such.
2.
3. abandoned Schools, Abandoned homes, Abandoned hospitals, Abandoned food places, and maybe a cemetery.
4.
Severalls Hospital, Colchester, UK
5.Something interest me about this place because its kind of a spooky place and it seems kind of cool to document this. also try to find out about the history behind this abandoned hospital and to see how it changed over the years. We could also look at what might of happened to this place and why it got abandoned and how it started to get abandoned. Maybe look around the place to see if it could be haunted and stuff like that and visualize how the hosptal look like when it wasnt abandoned.
6. As far as equipment i would have to need supernatural equipment to check if it is haunted and cameras to take tons of pictures. For the laws than i would have to sneak in somehow if not then i would have to ask permission because an abandoned place it would be a violation of trespassing and thats against the law.

2. ways that videos are better than photographs are when you look at photos and somtimes you wish what happened on that day and sometimes wondered what that day was like. Another way is like videos are better than photos are ways that you can get information on what happened and what are they talking bout so that you wont have to wonder whats going on in the particular photo.
3. in ways photos are better than videos are like if you wanted to look closer at a video like a particular part of the video and the photo has that particular part than thats a way photos are better than videos. Another was that photos are better than videos is you'll have those memories in the photos that no one can take away but videos you can live out that special moment about that special person or someone.

Veteran Photos/ Questions
1.the powerful image in the slideshow is when they come back home because for years they are going to be missed and havent been with their family in a long time so theres a soldier who looks like he huggin a girlfriend, friend, wife or cousin and she really missed him.
2.the sequence of photographs in the slidshow is most powerful is when they are deployed into war because you will probably never see them again because soldiers get killed and some of them come back alive with their whole body with them or some human parts cut off.
3.they work together to tell a story how images tell some peoples lives before they came to the army and during the army and after the army.
