National Geographic photos and Ethics in Photography

National Geographic Warm-up

 This picture would have to my favorite because it looks really cool. I like how the frozen air bubbles leave a pattern along the ice, the deep blue water and the white ice looks really pretty, and I really like the mountains in the background. This picture as a whole is just really eye catching and beautiful.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

The main point of the story was describing how big of of a deal manipulation is because it makes things worse or better than they really are. FAKE! This is bad because its just a big lie. By "Fixing" or "altering" a photo really doesn't give it justice. It can actually be used to better and not worse. It can be good to edit out something inappropriate or something odd. So, I think that manipulation is a tool that can be used for something good or be used for evil. You're either using this to make something or someone appear better or worse.

 I think this photo would have to be the most unethical because it's using the second and the 3rd photo to show Wisconsin University's "Diversity". The final photo used two complete different photos to add different ethnicity in the photo. I think its bad because basically, its false advertisement. This is a fake picture and if they wanted to show diversity, why can't they show a REAL picture of the diversity in the university.

I think this photo would be least unethical because the manipulation wasn't Fake. The pyramids are actually there, but the photographer moved them close together for the perfect photo. You can't really notice that this picture was even altered at all.
