What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?
I think the picture that moved me the most was the one where his mother is crying when he is leaving. Because that kind of set it in stone that he's leaving and fighting for the country.
What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
Chapter 4: First Assignment, because it really showed the struggle of his journey and how he changed from a not committed soldier, to one that was ready and willing.
How do the images work together to tell a story?
This images work together to tell a story by capturing his journey of being a boy in high school, to the struggles he faced with addiction, the hard times he had with his girls, and him becoming a man and fighting and being responsible.
For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?
The photos where Ian is the main subject, the verbs of the captions are usually written in present tense.
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. (Basic Training, Second row; 1st picture)
Ian and his fellow soldiers scope the territory by leading gun first and taking in their surroundings on a training mission at Fort Carson.
2. (First Assignment, First row; last picture)
Ian and Pvt. Johnson clean the bathrooms as punishment before deployment in their training base. Earlier Ian and Pvt. Johnson were caught messing around during a training mission and had to clean as a punishment for not being on task.
3. (Life in Iraq, First row, last picture)
Ian, Pvt. Johnson, and Pvt. Rash are taking a test on their basic army knowledge to receive a higher rank after being in Iraq for a few months. Ian was getting frustrated because the written exam isn't his strongest point and he seems to be having some trouble.
How do these other features enhance the photographs?
These other features enhanced the photographs by giving a more in-depth view of the photograph, and explaining more what was going on.
In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Website.
http://photos.denverpost.com/photoprojects/specialprojects/ianfisher/videochapter2.html (First Day, Second Thoughts) This was better than the photographs, because the pictures couldn't really tell us thoughts unlike here.

http://photos.denverpost.com/photoprojects/specialprojects/ianfisher/photochapter5.html (Army Blues; 2nd row, 2nd picture) I think in this way the pictures were better, because it was able to capture expressions and emotions in situations where he couldn't just drop everything and tell us how he felt and what was going on.

Funny Captions.
In a Woodlands Area Hospital, and black bear cub decided to look for some good old cafeteria food. When the little cub wandered away from its mama and stumbled across the hospital, it entered through the automatic sliding door and wandered around looking for mom.
Cool Video.
I think I would be cool to feature all the aspects of the yearbook. Like sports, student life, clubs, stuff like that. To make this video better, the maker of this video could feature more information on what's going on, instead of just like random video and picture, then at the end have a little bit of talking.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3.
1. I think the people in the pictures caught my attention the most. How the photographers captured the emotion of the person sitting for the picture, and what he did to make it stand out for the rest.
2. Churchill
I see: An empty dark room with not a lot of emotion. I man leaning on his cane with a displeased look on his face. Another man with a camera and he's going as fast as he can. The man leaning on his cane looks like he's ready to leave and he doesn't want to be there.
I smell: Wood of the man's cane that he's leaning on, one of the only things in the room. Dust that coats the floor and floating around the room. Coming in from outside it everyone smells like it.
I hear: The creaking floor as people try to take small steps not to make too much noise. The man sitting for the picture coughs ever so often. The noises from outside, like birds chirping and people yelling seep through the paper thin windows.
I taste: The sunshine gleaming through the windows. The not so fresh air of this rarely used room. The smells I smell fill my mouth because sometimes there are those scents that you can just taste.
I feel: When I first saw this picture it made me wonder. Who was this man? What is he know for? Why is his picture so important? I wanted to find out more about him and why he was the way he was.
Einstein
I see: The man's crazy hair and dress, he was a quirky character and it showed. The wrinkles on his worn face showed years of experience and life. All the furniture in the room and all the windows with the light shining through.
I smell: The strange smells and dust left floating around in the room. Everyone's 'home' smell, the smell you know when you walk into someone's house and it just smells like 'them'.
I hear: The shutter and flash of the camera. Fidgeting people, coughs and sneezes, things like that.
I taste: Smells that float around in the room. The fresh sunshine and dust particles.
I feel: This picture leaves me awestruck. The emotion in his face emotes true brilliance. He stands there looking like a true genius.
3. I think the best way to share this man's images is to create some mural with some basic information about him, to show the school his work.

Instagram.
1. Student life, what kids want to look at the most. Kids doing the activities they like to do, not academics or something boring they don't care about.
2. Phones only. It would look cooler, just to be able to use instagram and edit it like that.
3. I would put it somewhere where everyone would see it, like by the fishbowl or the main entrance. Somewhere where it could be viewed the most.

HDR Photography.
1. Exposure bracketing, or any camera that you can manually over or under expose the image can be used to create an HDR image.
2. The Canon T3 has a feature called Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) that allows you to take a minimum of three pictures with different exposure levels without having to manually change the settings.
3. The parking lot, with all the cars coming and going. Or the courtyard with all the students in the morning, throughout the day, and in the afternoon leaving.
4.
This picture is my favorite because it sets an emotion and tells a story. This photographer uses leading lines, with the rope, rule of thirds, because the main focus of the picture, the boat is in the upper left corner, and framing, with the rocks in the foreground and the boat in the back.

Fixed Photo Shoot Post Shoot Reflection
1. I learned that the shutter speed impact the picture A LOT and the fstop says how much it impacts. Lighting and focal length play a big role too.
2. All the pictures are in focus, but as the shutter speed go faster, the picture got darker. And as the aperture got smaller, the levels of darkness would get darker. Like when it was 1/1000 sec and F5.6 it wasn't as dark as 1/1000 sec and F29.
3. There's not much difference in the ISO other than grain. The bigger the ISO got, the more grain a picture had.
4. This says that in broad daylight, the smallest ISO is best because it will capture the whole image without the grain. You'd change it when it got darker out to capture all the picture.
5. With the focus you can see a slight difference but not much. As everything increased, it was a little less focused. But for the most part, everything was focused the same.
6. ISO100, 1,/1000, f4.5, 10ft. ish, 18mm, Very Sunny.
7. Next time I would focus a lot on the shutter speed, because I think that's what impacted my pictures in how dark they turned out. But also looking at ISO not to get grain, and the f-stop to get the perfect focus.
