Fake Photo History

Notes from lesson:
Photos taken for history are some times change by making the phto darker to make the person look bad or faces cut and put onto other peoples body so they can have their own way of what they look like also if a photo was taken and the person didnt want some thing of some one in it they where often air brushed out of the picture these photos tend to make history which means history in phtogrphys is pretty much fake so stuff likethat can change history maybe for the better bor worse who knows. some photos are published in news papers and books and edited by the photographer.

Photo Journalism lesson notes

when using a camera the camera sees the object that you focus on upside down but due to the mirrors in the camera it refeleces it back up to your eye to show you that its the right way up and that you dont take an upside down photo the aperture can open and close to different sizes smaller or bigger hole using the smaller one doesnt let much light in but using it too big lets to much light though this is due to the light from the sun that refelecs of the object and into the camera light on travels stright also depends on the shutter time as well dependeing and what its all set to you can get blured photos or clear photo some times if the camera is focused on a object it would blur out the background.
