How does this new camera work? you can control the camera with its touch screen.  

  -You control the blur,refocus, zoom,

What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)

  -You would need to know how to do the lighting, and how to balance everything.

Is it worth the money?

  -Yes because its not that expensive and if you know what your doing that its a good deal.

Fashion 

 1. List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer. (Look carefully)

   -Her eyes and lips were adjusted,they made her neck longer, they made her face look skinnier.

2. Is it ethically acceptable to change a person's appearance like this in a photo? Why or why not?

  -Not at all they should always have real beauty. Like that's all fake and Photoshopped.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

  -Yes because its not like your changing something small.Its changing the whole appearance of someone

  -OK:acne, scars, freckles,make-up stuff like that.

  -Not OK:making her neck smaller moving her eyes around and everything else was not OK.

5. Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
   -In fashion they "fix people" in there photos and in photojournalism you take "real" pictures

6. What relationship does each type of photography have to reality, and how does this affect the ethical practice of each?

  -In fashion people believe that people really look like this and wonder why they aren't as pretty as them. When in reality they are fake. And in photojournalism its real pictures. It effects each other because people tend to think fashion is real. Then people think all beautiful picture's is fake.
