National Geographic warm up

This is my favorite photo from the 45, due tho the fact it is very clear and beautiful and the photo has  meaning to the photographer making the viewer of the photo understand the photo clearer.

       I would like to take a photo like this, because it has meaning and I feel that photos with a background or history have more depth.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics 
This article shows the main reason why photo manipulation can be used for bad. On April first in was portrait day for the cabinet of Israel, someone messed with the photo and took out the female members and replaced them with males to fake an all male cabinet. Journalist in Lebanon faked a photo by making a failed missile launch look like a success. This stresses the point that photo alluring can be used for improper uses and can be used to cover up things.
This article explains the negativity of  using photo shop when it is carelessly used or for negative uses. The article also states that in order to be a responsible photographer or professional there is a right time and place to use photo alteration. The article states that miss use of photoalturation can cost a professional there job.

I believe that photo shop is a great tool, however if it is miss used it can be very controversial. This careless editing happens with words also however many people fallow visual proof quicker that written and if they were to see a controversial photo such as the ones shown in the article they may think that is the real photo and that would cause allot of miscommunication.

This photo was the most unethical photo that was alerted do to the fact that the original photo the soldier was not pointing his gun and the crowed ant the soldier was protecting the people and not hurting them. as stated on the photo many people can be seen twice proving that the photo was altered to represent a negative photo.

This photo is the least unethical that I have seen of many famous photos altered in history, because it did not do much wrong it moved the pyramids a bit more closer to fit its magazine. It is not like they are incriminating anyone they are not doing harm to no one. Many people can take this photo as if there were lieing to them however they are not hurting anyone
