National Geographic photos

This is my favorite photo because I love how it's taking from a very high point to get the top of the building. Also i like how the sun is right at the horizon of this picture and how the fog is at the bottom and you can see over it. The colors are really awesome everything kinda blends together.

Photo Manipulation & Ethics

An image was taken of a new cabinet and appeared on Yated Neeman Jewish newspaper, but some one had fooled with the image. Someone at the newspaper had used adobe photoshop or a similar software program to remove female ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver and replaced them with two men to create an all male cabinet. Fooling with the photo is extremely offensive at most U.S. newspapers and Times staff photographer was fired.

This is unacceptable because its basically like lying to the public.

This is the most unethical photo because it's changing nature. 

This is the most unethical photo because it's just helping her look better.

Unusual and Interesting photos part 1

I don't these photos I think that they are ugly and old and creepy. I think he made these photos by like wobbling the camera or he did some kind of editing. I think the UT building would be a good photo to take like this and its downtown and pretty easy to get to.

40 Greatest photo's

I like this photo because it's showing love in a time of violence.

The photographer took this picture with the balloon standing out and thats what drew my eyes to it.

It gives a very important message in it. 

I like this photo because it shows a very young generation helping an older one and they don't mind that they are a different race from each other it shows everybody should help each other.

the photographer took this picture with the little girl and old lady as the center of attention.

It is very unique thing to see or to be captured in a photo.

I like this photo because it is taken from the moon and I've never seen one like this.

The whole background is black space and the only things that stand out is the moon and earth.

Its such a good angle and very awesome.

Touching People.

1. I think it's pretty weird and awkward to touch and take a picture with a random stranger! So it's a pretty interesting idea to part different people together who are totally different.

2. I would do it I would probably hug the person and just be opened about it.

3. i think it would be fun to switch clothes with a person of the opposite sex and then take pictures of them pretending to be the other person.

4. the photos are good there just a little boring.
