Final Exam Part 2



A 19-year-old shoplifting suspect died last Saturday. The man was later identified by police as Timothy Milan. Milan was reportedly spotted by a stuffing two sweaters down his pants and make his way out of Panzer's Department Store in an attempt to shoplift. Seeing this happen, the store's guard then began to chase Milan.
   "We saw him start running and the guard was right behind him", eye witness Sherry Carter said.
Three bystanders quickly joined the chase and eventually caught up to Milan.
   "We went outside to see what was going to happen and we saw the boy get dragged to the ground", Carter said. "They were fighting alright, but it looked like all four of them were pulling at him and he finally stopped moving."
   A police officer who arrived at the scene reported that Milan collapsed as he put handcuffs on him. An autopsy later revealed that Milan died due to a lack of oxygen to the brain.
  "It was a case of excusable homicide",  Police spokesman Michael Williams said. "The gentleman who held onto Milan was just being a good citizen." 
   The police said that bystanders did not kill Milan intentionally, but that he was fighting violently back. He was supposedly punching, kicking, and even biting his captors- so they were simply attempting to restrain him and help to capture a suspected criminal.
   "Milan should never have run from the guard, we believe he had a run in with police in the past", Williams said.
   However, Milan's parents do not agree with the statement made by Officer Williams.
"My wife and I are just in ruins over this. He was our only child and he had never had problems with the law", Timothy's father, Eric Milan said.
   Milan's family does not see this case as an accident and believe that punishment is due.
"We plan to bring civil charges against the man who did this to my son", Eric said. "Our lawyers are already filing papers and we encourage the courts to revisit this ruling from a criminal perspective."
  Police today said that they will not be charging anyone involved in the case with a crime. The store manager, Paula Smith, does however, offer her condolences.
   "We are sorry for the death of the young man, it was never our intentions for these kinds of things to happen", Smith said. "We are currently looking at revising our policies regarding shoplifting and how we keep these kinds of things from happening."

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image? You have to change the ISO between each shot. 2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? You will just need a tripod for this shoot. 3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? HDR is good for landscapes and capturing the contrasts in the photo. 4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo? You will most likely see some color and contrast changes.

1. Is there something you see in the photo above that you think could be a problem when you take your photos? Look carefully. Shadows would definitely be an issue and just different lighting in different layers. 2. Where do you think would be a great place to take this type of picture here on the Bowie campus? By the roses would be an interesting place to do it as there are many different places to pose/do. 3. Can you think of something creative to actually DO in the photo when you take yours? I could be smelling the rose, jumping over myself from the bench in the garden, or getting closer or farther from the camera. 4. Is there something you could wear that would help you when you do this photo? I don't really think clothing would affect anything but it might look cool if you coordinated your outfit with your surroundings.

self portrait assignment

Image
-Alter Your Perspective -Break the Rules of Composition -Experiment with Lighting Environmental Portraits: I really like both of these images because they create a realistic image of what is happening in the different settings. Self Portraits: I really liked these two images because they capture the subject of the photo in such unique ways. Casual Portraits: These photos do a good job of clearly showing someones everyday appearance *casually*. For my self portraits, I would make sure to be in an environment that I commonly use to show a little bit of my personal life in the photograph. I would also create good lighting in the room/space to shoot a clear and bright photo.
