Avoiding Mergers

In this photo the tree is the mergers because it's cut in half and also draws attention away from the building.

Framing


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

The framing of the tree and the building created the dimension and interest to the road.

Balance


This is a photo of balance because the tall building balances out the blown up one.

Lines


The lines that created the building draws attention to the peoples who's trying to escape.

Rule of Thirds


This picture's an example of the rule of third because even though it's not in the center of the photo it's still the center of attention.

Simplicity


The simplicity of this photo is the building to the plain blue sky, there's no distraction from the photo.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Ethics in the age of digital manipulation is about how some photographers are using Photoshop to fool the viewers and they do stuff that may offend those in the picture. This article has advises from the  pros one phrase said always follow tight ethics. Without them, there is no trust between the reader and the journalist.Photojournalist are concern for photo-journalistic integrity. This action is unethical, what they do to the character in the photo is not right, this can be called online bullying for most cases.






this is  most unethical because the two picture below are messed with and it fooled the viewers of the soldier's intention.














I consider this one least unethical because it only edited the line off the picture to make it look better and it's not affecting anyone on the picture.

40 Greatest Photos Ever

Vanderlei Almeida 
The photo was so heart warming and full of love.

What made my eyes gravitate to the photo is why the dead was buried in front of those missing chunk of dirt.

The reason why i think this picture made the cut of the top 40 photos is that the dog's showing his love and respect by laying beside his/her grave.


Aaron Thompson
The photo was sad but the bravery of the boy made the photo seems strong.

What made my eyes gravitate to this photo is the way the photographer set up his angle of the camera and how the sunlight was shining to the boy which made it seems very realistic to the viewer.

Why i think this photo made the cut of top 40 is because this photo has a lot of meaning to it, for example sad, brave, and strong.





Yomiuri Shimbun
This photo made me happy for the family who lost the baby, and the fact that the soldier looked so happily at the baby.

What about this picture that made my eyes gravitate to the photo is how the light is reflexing from the baby's skin made it seems very realistic to the viewer.

Why i think this photo made the cut of the top 40 photos is the fact that it warmed the heart of the viewer and made them happy.

I thought this was a good picture because the light was good which brightens up their feature. The angle was pretty nice.                     
                                       
       
This is a bad one since it's lacking brightness. Their feature wasn't very clear.
