Mergers

I chose this picture to represent, Avoiding Mergers because the guy on the left side is half cut, most of the attention goes  to the truck rather that the two guys working.

Lines

                               In this photo you can see the lines of the sun rays, they're diagonal leading towards the people been aided by other.

Framing

                                             This photo shows Framing because you can see the sides of the window making a frame for the outside scene where there an ambulance.

Balance

 

     In this photo you can see three buildings that are almost equally separated, you can see the balance because all the attention is distributed all through the photo.

Rule of Thirds

The man falling down one of the towers is not placed exactly in the middle of the photo which makes it fit into the Rule of Thirds, he is placed on the top middle square of the photo.

Simplicity

        This photo fits for Simplicity because the background is all one color(blue) there is no distraction, you attention is directed to the building.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1. This story focuses on the ethical view of the way  some photographers manipulate their photos. Many important photographers have done it and many of them have lost their jobs because of it. In the Middle East this happens very often, an example of photo manipulation is the Iran missile test launch in July 2008. This was done by the media branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, during the missile test one of the missile fail to fire so they duplicated one of the other three missiles and release the picture.

2. I don't think this photo editing is acceptable in some cases, I think photographer should always say the truth in their photos because we don't like to be given the wrong information on purpose. They might be exceptions were a photographer can edit the photo but no in an exaggerated way or to completely change it.

1A.

I think this manipulated photo is the most unethical from the rest of the photos because during the meeting of Clinton and Castro there was not a photographer and they completely made a new image. No one knows that Clinton was that happy to see a men like Fidel Castro who was a communist president.

I consider this the least unethical photo, I think is not that bad to alter just a little just to make it fit into the magazine cover.
