A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?The most powerful image in the slide show is when Ian returns to his family and they are all walking together. The reason why is because it shows what he was fighting for and they are thankful to him for the ultimate sacrifice.
B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why? The sequence of Them coming home is the most powerful, because it shows that strong emotion between the families and the Soldiers of not seeing each other in such along period of time and not knowing if they ever would again.
c. How do the images work together to tell a story?The images work together to tell a story by giving us a background on Ian Fisher and his honorable choice to join the Army. The images give us an inside on his harsh training, and on the desire to see his family and not knowing if he ever will again. And finale they give is the emotional reunion with his loved ones.
3. Click on the "i" button on the upper right side of the photos to see the captions.
A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?Most of the photos that Ian is the main subject, the captions are usually present tense or what is to come in the future.
B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?The captions enhance the photograph by giving the viewer a bit more of a story, or information to what is going on in the photo.
4. Turn off the caption feature.
A. Write three of your own captions to photos without looking at the caption written by the photographer. Be sure they are written in the following form. For this assignment you can make up names and facts to write your captions.
1.) Ian Fisher is nervous, as this is the first time he has held such a power full gun.
2.) Ian Fisher has one more round of pool with his best buddy Ricky before he takes of next week.
3.) As Ian Fisher holds his wife to be and is surrounded by all his loved ones he begins to realize what he was fighting for.
5. Click on "main menu." Click on "videos."
A. How do these other features enhance the photographs? The way the videos enhance the photographs is that they show you how the photos told a story just like the video. A video shows the "true Person".
B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.The way that videos are in a way better that photographs is that you can experience the true emotion of the Person. You can really see this strong emotion during the Realities of War video were Ian is talking about the disturbing and heart braking experiences he has seen in Iraq.
C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site. In a way that photos are better than videos is that the photos give the viewer a good chance to think of what is going on in Ian's head, the viewer trys to put him/herself in his shoes. when Ian is in training and he sit on the rock after his team has been giving a chance to rest due to the high temperatures, Ian is very thoughtful as he sits there. This gives the viewer of the photo a urge to try to think what Ian is feeling and makes the photo way more interesting that if you were to watch a video giving you the answer, it would be not as interesting.

Funny captions
Now Joe the donkey replaced Rudolf in Santa's slay and he is doing pretty good, and Benjamen well, lets just say he has to pull his own cart full of stones these days.
It was not true.
It is said that the Smith family has a very vicious, killer dog that everyone has heard about, but not seen. Yea I'm pretty sure this big guy will make a bugler pee his pants.... of laughter!
Cool video
I think the video was a great way to show many of how the students express there spirit for our school. They featured allot from the football team to band however not a large amount of the fans that support them that would be nice to see more of some of the few pictures they had. The maker of the video could improve on the speed or contrast between pictures and videos as from the band, to cheerleaders/step team, football. what I mean is not to confuse to viewer to keep the videos more separate and detailed.

Warm up on HDR photography
.Look up HDR photography on google (wikipedia has a great post on this) -
1. What do you have to do on the camera to make this type of photo? In order to take these type of photos you have to set the camera on the lowest ISO and have it possible on a tripod, and have high F-stops and shutter speeds. You will also take multiple photos.
2. Look up a Canon T3 on google and tell me if it has the ability to shoot bracketed photos? Yes the Canon T3 does have the ability to shoot bracketed photos, the way it can is that the T3 has a feature called Auto Exposure Bracketing, which allows you to take three shoots that can later either be merged together or picked out separately.
3. Is there a place on campus we could take a series of photos like this? Yes a there is allot of places on campus we could take HDR photos because there is a good amount of landscape around the school.
4. Do a google image search for HDR photos and find your favorite, post it on your blog, tell me why you picked that photo and then tell me what techniques (rules of photography) the photographer used.
I picked this photo because it shows a great example of HDR photography by meshing multiple photos to make a background that is in depth. The photographer used the rule of thirds to show were the cars on the bridge were headed.

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? What caught my eye while looking at the photos that Lewis Hine photographed is that he documented some of the most important historical events that at the time seemed like noting to the people who rejected his photos, however it documented history for us.
2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.
I see: people working hard building buildings 1,000 feet in the air and children being forced to work, children crying of how exhausted and hungry they are. Men dangerously close to falling 1,000 feel down to there death.
I smell: steel, coal from factory machines.
I hear: busy New York streets from a distance, loud factory machines, other men yelling, and heavy machines and tools working.
I taste: Salty air from the ocean, smoke from the machines.
I feel: High above the world, very cold. I feel very exhausted and imprisoned like if I was robbed of my life.
You can do this in 2 ways. You can either put yourself in the photo and pretend your standing next to the subjects in the photo. I know smell and taste are hard but you can do it.
Or, you can pretend you were the photographer and use those same senses.
On the one titled - I feel - you may either touch things in your photo (imagination please!!) or you can tell me what you (yes, you in the real world) feel or felt the first time you saw the photo, or how it makes you feel when you look at it now.
BE REFLECTIVE HERE - try to be descriptive, try to write more than you think you can. One sentence per prompt is NOT ENOUGH, write at LEAST 3 sentences per!!! Write more, if you think its enough, its NOT.
3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school. I would create a blog so that people can also share there response to Lewis Hines photos.

Fixed Photo Shoot Post shoot reflection
1. What did you learn about the camera when you took these photos? What I learned about the camera when I took these photos is that the camera has so many different settings, and that you can have allot of control over your photos if you know how to use these settings.
2. What do you notice about all the photos and the way they look? Most of the photos I took were either way to bright or way to dark.
3. Can you tell the difference between each ISO? Explain how. You can tell the difference between each ISO because the higher the ISO, with a high F-stop the pictures are darker.
4. What does this tell you about ISOs and what it does when you change it when you take pictures. what this says is the higher the ISO the darker or unclear the photo will be.
5. What about focus? Can you see a difference in the photos? Tell me what differences and similarities you see.The photos with lower ISO had more focused photos, the difference is that the photos with higher ISOs were clear and more focused on higher F-stops that photos with higher ISOs however the photos with higher ISOs were brighter on lower F-stops than the photos with higher ISOs. the similarities the photos had is that they would all darken in a higher F-stop.
6. Post the best photo you took on your blog. Make sure to label the following things: ISO, Shutter Speed, F-stop, Distance, Focal Length, Lighting.
ISO:3200, Shutter speed:1/125, F-stop:16, Distance:5feet, Focal length:50, Lighting:Mostly cloudy.
7. What do you need to concentrate on when you go out to shoot next time when you have to shoot in Manual settingg? The next time I go out to shoot in manual setting I will make sure to use a lower ISO if the lighting is poor like it was that day and if the lighting is too bright vise versa. Also I will concentrate on my shutter speed to let more light in.
