C.E. #1.2


1. 110,000 refugees
2. 2 slides and a rope swing
3. Amazon
4. Brevity and WritePad
5. I haven't been to any of these record stores, but I think I've seen some of them before, like Exploded Records next to JuiceLand.

Today I want to reflect upon Hurricane Harvey and its destruction of the Texas coast:
1. My sister was slightly affected by Hurricane Harvey because she lives on campus in San Marcos. Due to it being so hilly, many places get flooded pretty quickly down there. She just had to come stay at our house for a day or two while it subsided, but school was cancelled on Monday for her.
2. If there were to be a major storm to impact my home I would immediately go stay with my relatives. I would also make sure that, if it were to come to it, I could stay there for an extended period of time. That way I would have shelter even if my home were to be destroyed.
3. I think that the state and government  should be responsible for fixing damaged roads, electricity, and clearing the streets of debris. If possible, it would be nice for homes to be restored too, but I think that would be a long process to go through.
4. I think that insurance companies should be responsible for fixing private properties and businesses. This is because people pay to be protected, and most of the time they pay for it even though nothing bad has happened to them. Now that this catastrophe has happened, it's time for them to fix the damage.
5. I do think that climate change played a role in this hurricane because it has been getting warmer, which is perfect weather for a hurricane.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

Image
This photo was taken using F/2.8 aperture. You can tell this because the background is blurry while the bird is in focus. This photo was taken using F/16 aperture. You can tell this because the background is in focus as well as the foreground. 1. We should closely relate aperture to our eyes. 2.The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-stop. The larger the aperture, the smaller the f-stop. 3. The aperture affects the depth of field because the larger the aperture is, then the more focused objects are in the foreground while the smaller the aperture is, the more focused objects are in the background. Shutter Speed This picture was taken using a high shutter speed. You can tell because you cannot see movement in the photo (isn't blurry) This picture was taken using a low shutter speed. You 1. a) high shutter speed     b) high shutter speed     c) high shutter speed     d) medium shutter speed     e) fast shutter speed     f) fast shutt

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Image
A) I've learned that when you manipulate photos there is a fine line between ethical and nonethical photos. Photoshop is very controversial and can cause many people to be upset about edited photos. Many major publishing companies do not tolerate doctored images at all, and can cause people to lose their jobs. B) The philosophy of photo manipulation for newspaper companies like the Washington Post and New York Times is to provide very strict guidelines for any sort of photoshop. C) I think that it is acceptable to altar an image as long as it does not affect the meaning of an image. I do not think it is ethical to crop somebody's face onto someone else's body because it is hinting that that is their body. I do, however, think that adjusting colors or lighting is acceptable. D) I think that this image is the most unethical because it shows Oprah's head on somebody else's body while stating that it is Oprah. Also, this was published without the consent of eithe
