PHOTOJOURNALISM

A particular form of journalism (the

collecting, editing and presenting of
new materials for publication or
broadcast) that creates images in
order to tell a news story. It is now
usually understood to refer only to
still images, but is some cases the
term also refers to video used in
broadcast journalism.
Photojournalism is distinguished from
other close branches of photography
(documentary photography, social
documentary photography, street
photography or celebrity photography)
by complying with a rigid ethical
framework which demands that the
word is both honest and impartial
which telling the story in strictly
journalistic terms:
Photojournalists create pictures that contribute
to the news media.
Timeliness – The images have meaning in the
context of a recently published record of events.
Objectivity – The situation implied by the images
is a fair and accurate representation of the
events they depict in both content and tone.
Narrative – The images combine with other news
elements to make facts relatable to the viewer or
reader on a cultural level.
Reminders Photojournalist is a
reporter but he or she must often
make decisions instantly and carry
photographic equipment, often
while exposed to significant
obstacles (ex. physical danger,
weather or crowed)
 MGA TIPS SA ISANG BAGUHANG POTOGRAPER

Photography ay isang magandang

paraan ng sining na may hindi gaanong
mahirap na panuntunan.
• may pagkamalikhain at indibidwal
na estilo.
• may kawili-wili
• dapat maraming tricks or tips
• Long shutter photography
Ito ay laging kamangha-
mangha habang nagpeplay
ang bilis ng shutter at ang
mga larawan ay lagpas pa sa
iyong inaasahan.

 Isang Hugis Bokeh
Photography, bokeh or Malabo
or aesthetic may kalidad na
lumabo or sa mga out-of-focus
ng isang lugar or imahe o ang
paraan ng lens ang nagpapagara
ng mga out-of-focus na mga
punto ng ilaw.
Bokeh ay isang salita na nagmula sa
Japanese na nangangahulugan ng
“lumabo” o “aso” usok or boke – aji,
kalidad ng lumabo”. ang Hapon bokeh na
termino ay ginagamit din sa kamalayan ng
isang nalilito o kahinaan dahil sa
katandaan.
Ang bokeh ay isa sa pinaka-interesante sa
digital photography.
Pamamaraan:
Sa pamamagitan ng default, hugis bokeh pabilog na hugis
(dahil sa katunayan ang hugis ng lens ng camera ay pabilog
o paikot). Ngunit maaari rin gumawa ng mga pasadyang
hugis bokeh na tulad ng mga sumusunod:
lens ng camera (preferably malaking siwang)
karton sheet
Ang ilang mga maliliit na tubo tape.
upang magsimula, gumuhit ng anumang hugis na kung
saan nais mang sa gitna ng sheet ng karton at but na
bahagi ang susunod na i-wrap at ang natitirang sheet ng
karton sa paligid ng iyong camera lens maingat at may
kaunting kasanayan.
 High Dynamic Range (HDR Photography)
HDR tumayo para sa high dynamic range
photography. Karaniwan, kahit na ang natural
na pangitain ay walang kakayahan na Makita
ang lahat na mga dynamic sa hanay ng
anumang larawan.
Ang HDR ang higit pa sa isang nanlilinlang.

 Color Photography
The first three years I was working as a photojournalist I shot
exclusively in color.  As a matter of fact I had very little interest
at all in black and white and it was not until years later that I
was trying to prove a point and make a joke, that I started
working with black and white in depth (it is funny story and I
will tell it in detail at another time.)  The point is that when I
started working in black and white I really enjoyed it and also
found a lot of meaning in it.  It was when I first started
photographing war and I fascinated that current black and
white images looked so similar to the images captured in
other conflicts throughout the years, such as World War II,
Vietnam etc.  To me, this showed how little has changed over
the years and is a powerful and important point to make.
 How to Take Macro Pictures
With its emphasis on detail, pattern, and
texture, macro photography can yield rewarding
and unique results. In this gallery, learn what
makes a great macro shot and get tips on how to
turn your extreme close-ups into compelling
photographs.
Here, a macro lens and diffused macro twin flash
capture the intricate detail on a bee and flower.
•Photo Tip: Macro photography is
photography magnified. It is generally
recognized as “macro” when you are
increasing the size of an object in your
picture from about half life-size, as
represented on the image sensor, to five
times life-size.
Solitary Bee
Photo Tip: As a general rule you should
use an f-stop no wider/larger than f/16 to
get all or most of the main subject in
focus. If you are photographing a subject
that can’t be arranged more or less on
the same plane, you will have to decide
which parts of it you want in focus.
Ladybug
Photo Tip: When shooting macro photography,
using a narrow depth of field is unavoidable.
This actually causes a pleasant result, since
the background will appear totally out of
focus, and you can usually use a natural
setting to compose your picture. While you
won't have to fuss too much with what's going
on behind your subject, don't forget to check
for any distracting or jarring background
elements.
Miniature Model Cars
Photo Tip: Macro photography is really
successful when the image has a main
point of interest and that point or
subject is composed well within the
frame. Choose a simple background so it
doesn’t compete with the main subject
for a viewer’s attention.
Honeybee
Photo Tip: Shooting flowers, leaves, and insects
outside can be a challenge. A perfectly
composed shot can be quickly ruined by just a
whisper of a breeze. Stop unwanted subject
motion and blur. Before you set up your shot,
try planting a stick in the ground and tether
the flora to it for stability. Use the fastest
shutter speed possible and use a ring flash or
flash units mounted to your lens if shooting at
a low aperture.
Leatherwing Beetle
Photo Tip: If shooting outdoors, macro
photography is effective on bright
days when you don’t have to use a
very slow shutter speed. A bright,
overcast day works especially well, as
it will also light your subject evenly.
Euphorbia Plant
Photo Tip: If you find an insect or
small creature that allows you to get
close to it, start shooting! When
making macro photographs—
especially of moving subjects—be
prepared. Make sure all your camera
settings are correct because you may
only get one shot.

 MESSAGE
The purpose of a press
photography is to inform the
viewer about what can be seen
and what the facts are.

BUT, what is the message?

Excellent
photographic
style as a building block….
photography
light + drawing

painting with light….

Photography is more than just taking
a photograph with a camera….

. . . . It is an active
engagement with
science, technology &
society and art. . .
To take photographs means to recognize…
simultaneously and within
a fraction of a second… both the fact itself
and the rigorous organization of
visually perceived forms that
give it meaning.
It is putting one’s head,
one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis.

Key Areas
Of Technical Excellence:

EXPOSURE:

Light is the main ingredient of

photography…

IT MUST BE RIGHT….

EXPOSURE CONTROL:

ASA/ISO – light sensitivity rating 50,

100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

 Auto ISO Setting

SHADOW

HIGHLIGHT
EXPOSURE CONTROLS:

The aperture and the

shutter speed controls….

And the principle reciprocity

The opening in the lens and the
speed of the shutter operate in
a principle called RECIPROCITY
to achieve a photograph with
proper exposure.
What is Aperture (opening in the lens?
The aperture is a hole whose size can
be varied to allow more or less
light to pass through it.

The size of apertures is expressed in f-

numbers.
f1.4, f2.0, f2.8…… f5.6…… f32
What is Shutter Speed (of curtain)?
The shutter speed is a measurement of
the amount of time the shutter on the
body is open to allow light to hit the
film. The most commonly used speeds
are actually fractions of a second.

1=1 second; 2= ½ sec; 15 1/15 seconds….

Other exposure controls:

COMPENSATION (AV)

-2 -1 -0- +1 +2
 EXPOSURE CONTROLS
AUTO (A) – the camera does
everything, you cannot override, it
uses flash automatically when
needed (if there’s a built-in flash)
PROGRAM (P) – the camera does
everything but you can override,
you can turn on or off the flash.
 EXPOSURE CONTROLS
SHUTTER PRIORITY (TV) – you select
the shutter speed, the opening
reciprocates.

APERTURE PRIORITY (AV) – you select

the aperture (opening of the lens),
the shutter speed reciprocates.
 Be careful when
setting the shutter
speed so slow…..
 EXPOSURE CONTROLS

MANUALS (M) – you select

the setting of both
aperture (opening of the
lens) and the shutter to
achieve desired exposure.

“You don't make a photograph just
with a camera. You bring to the act of
photography all the pictures you
have seen, the books you have read,
the music you have heard, the people
you have loved.”

“A picture is a secret about a

secret, the more it tells you the
