Virtual Copies and Snapshots

1. You can only export one at a time
2. Only the last one you saved will get exported in Snapshots
3. You press Ctrl+ after you can edit the photos however you want
4. An advantage would be that you can export all of the copies at the same time
5. If you delete the master photo, all of the copies will be deleted too

Stock Photography and Legal Issues

1. Basically what a model release is the permission a person on your photo for you to post it somewhere or sell it. It is important because you need the consent of who ever is in your photo in order for you to publish it somewhere without getting into legal problems.

2. It expresses what its on your photo, it's like putting a title to your photo.

3. You might get sued because your are using a logo that does not belong to you.

4. Saving space is useful to be able to write around the photo, like a title or captions

5. They like it because they won't have to worry about anyone claiming the image, they're able to post it but not take credit.

6. It can be possible that more than one photographer to choose the same photo and might use it for a similar thing that you are using it for.

7. You can do right managed.

8.Royalty free images are not licensed for taking photos, meanwhile rights managed are licensed and it keeps the buyer from conflicts by having a clean market separation between the uses of the images.

9.If I take pictures in an art museum which allows photographers to be taken and I photograph some paintings or sculpture, can I sell the photographs?

10. This question interested me because I like going to art museums and if I take a picture of a famous artwork i would want to know if I could post it somewhere.

Still Life Preview

Part2
1. In a still life painting we often see flowers, fruit, or bases.

2. Some factors a photographer must consider when shooting still life photography are lighting, background, the placement of the objects.

3. Aperture Priority is helpful because it will automatically produce the correct exposure, it will help concentrate on focusing and depth of field. 

4.It will increase the exposure time.

Part3
1.



2. I could do stock photography of make-up, food or arrangements of school or office supplies.

3. For make-up, maybe magazines like 17 magazine, people who make calendars or anyone that would want to promote school or office related things.

4. It allows the photographer to experiment with lighting and arrangement of things. I also shows the photographers creativity of making something simple to interesting and unique.

Part4
1. I could use flower pots, books, make up, and food to shoot a still life.
2. Depending on the objects I use, then it would be different.It could feel like a pause in time, holding time and admiring what's in the picture.
3.I think that for flower bases and food, I should use a plain backdrop. The color of it would probably be black, white or a deep red or green. For the books and makeup I think it can by anything like a table, or a background with other subjects around but that don't distract the main object.

First Free Shoot

 The intended object in this photo is the flower, the small insect makes it look more interesting.


 Here my object was Leslie's eye.


Another flower, its leaves are yellow so it looks nice with a blurred background.

My experience with this project was great. I really enjoyed using the macro lens because you are able to zoom in a lot into anything, it enlarges the subject you want and blurs out the background focusing on what you want. But there is something that I could do different next time, like zooming in more into the flower, take advantage and try to show more detail of whatever I'm shooting. What I learned was how to shoot full macro and partially macro.
