FASHION

1. Enlarged lips, longer neck, lower eyes, enlarged eyes, better hair,.
2. It's not ethically correct because the ad is making people think that pretty girls are supposed to look like that when really the model doesn't even look like that.
3. Yes, they could say that they're product turns someone from how the model originally looked too how she looks in the photo.
4. The types of changes that are okay are the changes to her hair but other than that nothing really because they are changing almost all of her facial features. 
5. Fashion photography make people look better than they really are and photojournalism shows people the way they are.
6. Fashion photography completely alters reality because it's changes someones whole look. Photojournalism actually represents reality by showing things that are real and how they really are. 

Lytro warm-up

1. The photo focused on the area I clicked on.
2. It let's you refocus the picture to see it from a different perspective.
3. The photographer would have to know about the right amount of lighting to use and would also need to know how close or far away to get from the subject.
4. To me personally, it's not. But, from a photographers point of view I can see where it would be because people take lots of pictures to get the focus right but with this camera you don't have to worry about it.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

1. Get closer.
2. Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.
3. Use props! 

I liked this photo because it's baseball related. I picked this picture because it's kind of what I had in mind for self portraits.

I liked this picture because I like how the catcher is in focus and the fans are blurred out. I picked this photo because I play catcher and I like the way this picture was taken. 

I liked this photo because I think it's cool he used the sun to make his body look black. I picked this photo because the kid had a bat in his hand.

I like this photo because the guy is on the field with two bats in his hand in full uniform and eye black. I picked this photo because it caught my eye when I searched self portrait on google.

I liked this photo because it shows Jim Bibby holding eight baseballs in one hand. I picked this photo because when I saw the eight balls in one hand I thought it was crazy. 

I liked this photo because it shows the player laid back and chill and you don't normally see players like that. I picked this photo because Eric Byrnes is a great player.

For my portrait, I will be taking a self-portrait on the baseball field and to make this shot successful I will use my gear as props in the photo and be sure to place the tripod close to me to make it clear I am the subject. I will also try and incorporate rules of photography into the photos I take.
