Final Extra Credit

1. The man had been pushed onto the tracks by another. The man that had been pushed onto the tracks was only trying to calm another down, but him falling to the tracks had led to his death by a subway. He was trying to escape the tracks and couldnt. There was a photographer at the scene and apparently had tried helping by using the flash towards the train conductor hoping that the conductor would stop, in him trying to flash the conductor he captured a couple images of the scene.
2. He said he took the photo because he was trying to help the man by using the flash of the camera.
3. Like the comments say, i dont think shooting a flash at the direction of the conductor will indicate stop. Also I dont think taking a picture of someones death is a very great idea, especially when right there and could probably save the person. So no, i think the picture shouldnt have been taking.
4. I think the photographer didnt know what to do so he just started to take pictures. Its not the best idea, i think he couldve done something better.
5. I disagree with putting this image on the newspaper. I feel like they couldve used something else. Like a picture of the empty subway. Yes the image is eye catching but the image is showing something that shouldnt be publicly announced like that.
6. I feel like stopping bad things from happening is a more important thing to do. You could not only save a couple people or things but also yourself. An there is always another journalist to do a report on whatever it is.
7. I think the photographer should not be involved. They should just stay behind the camera and stick to what they know. If they do get involved, then who knows where the may end up.
8. I believe they should avoid influencing events, just take the picture as it is happening, as if the photojournalist isnt even there.
9. The appropriate thing to do is just keep it cool and keep living with what the people say. If they feel as if they did the right thing then they should be fine. If it gets to them then just go see or talk to someone.

2.(a)- Rule of thirds, the image is split into a grid and it is best to have the subject in one of these corner  points instead of centered 
(b)- Balance, Have another object  that isn't important to fill the empty space that your main object doesn't fill
(c)- Leading Lines, our eyes follow the lines to the point that they are directing. Because of this, with the lines you have, it changes the way we see the image
(d)-Symmetry and Patterns (repetition), Simply having a something repeating to catch the eye or have your object symmetrical to another
(e)-Viewpoint, when taking photo each angle you take it from changes the composition in the photo, should be planned before taking the picture
(f)-Background, have a simple background like a solid black one will be great behind the subject you're taking a picture of, it brings it out
(g)-Create Depth, instead of having a image that looks very 2D you would create a feel of depth by including a background foreground and middle ground to it. Also having things be obscured helps.
(h)-Framing, in your image you have your subject framed by other things in the image like color or other objects. The main subject is in the middle of it.
(i)-Cropping, cropping around the image can remove the business in the backgrounds and give focus to the subject
(j)-Mergers and avoiding them, having two things come towards each other, like the same color on top of each other or have someone cropped off or having it seem that things are running into the subject. To avoid them, make sure you have a simple background and before you take a picture make sure you have everything in frame.

3.Aperture- aperture is sort of like our eyes of the camera. it impacts the depth of the image making the background blurred or it can sharpen the image
Shutter speed- The speed that it takes to snap a photo. To fast and you don't get enough light and the image comes to be to dark. To slow and to much light comes in and the image comes out really white
ISO- Iso is about quality of the image. If action and fast movement shots are needed or the image is to dark then high ISO is needed. It will be grainy. If there is a good amount of light and the image isn't moving then low ISO is best because it gives the best quality

4. Something that acceptable is maybe changing a little strand of hair or if there is to much color is one spot, something that isn't acceptable would be like changing the size and shape of a person place or thing.
