Please watch this video in its entirety. It is only about 13 minutes.
Your to dos for this discussion:
1. Now that you have had a bit of photography history, and gained a bit of appreciation for the beauty you can find in everyday images. I'd like you to take 3 photos of something (landscape, building, people, animal, objects, anything) that is outdoors.
·
· Take the 1st photo in the morning
· Take the 2nd photo (of the same image) in the afternoon
· Take the 3rd photo (of the same image) in the evening/night
Same image, same point of view, same angle, same composition (meaning point your camera in the same direction/same distance).
2. Briefly describe 3 new concepts/ideas you learned from this video. The concept/idea can be about photography, art, science, anything. There is no right or wrong answer. I just want to know what are the top 3 things you learned. Number your concepts/ideas 1 through 3. Please briefly describe what is it you learned and why it is a new thing for you.
3. Embed the 3 photos in your post. What have you learned from looking at the 3 photos you took? What have you learned between the photos you took and looking at the photos in the video.
1. Example：I observe how the beauty of nature invite us to appreciate the bright of the day and night and we could join the gorgeous vision with colors and multiples contrast an the same moment mix with material objects at the same time such as nature places, buildings and surround people or animals as a part of the artwork.
2. I also observe ho in the second picture more intense sunlight the in color and also could be observe as the peak of their brightness and I remember how it was related to the video the comparison of daytime in one of the first pictures of rocks and the spectator could see the different of colors with one part less brighter than the other in that place. Also is mention the time guide us and believe is true for example depends of what we see in the day we have an idea of the time it is.
3.-Also Impact to me part of the video when is mentioned how animals understand better than humans that we have to share our resources and they are agree to do it. Also something that I don’t used to appreciate that I believe is a excellent reflex ion that we are observing through the windows of the time is everyday and every moment which allow me to compare the admirable invaluable treasure in these pictures at famous places such as Yosemite .
I like this outdoors pictures due that is something that now helps me to appreciate more the windows time and also that this could guide me to be more observant and encourage me to analyze the infinity ways that I could appreciate more the art pictures with these different colors ,in shadows, in day time and specially in their unique appreciation of each moment.

2. Read the articles on the Documenting Social Issues links below.
3. Post your answer to my question below:
As you recently read in your Ang text, the Great Depression gave birth to many great social documentary photographers. War World II took propaganda photography to another level. These two forms of photography (social documentary and propaganda) have been and can be mixed in ways that sometimes tell the difference is hard. Sometimes, the usage of a photograph for propaganda purposes is beyond the photographer's control. It is often done in the editorial room.

Online Discussion #10: Image Manipulations

Is it art or technology? Ethics or aesthetics? Interpretation or lying? Image enhancement or cheating? When is image manipulation appropriate? What is the limit? Who gets to decide? What about using filters to post photos on social media like Instagram? What about removing red eyes from photos? Is it ok if it’s used for propaganda such as Ted Cruz’s “Rubio-Obama Trade Pact” photo (http://pth.izitru.com./2016_02_02.html) (Links to an external site.)?
