Part 1

 

"Photographer Mosa'ab Elshamy was on hand in Cairo and its surrounding cities to document mahraganet's rise, from the wedding halls that house its most popular shows to the humble cities that birthed its stars. Mahraganat, informally known as electro chaabi, is an Egyptian socially-minded, electro-rap mash-up that echoes these hip-hop ideals, created by and for an uncertain youth in the wake of a tumultuous, post-Mubarak Egypt." -Rolling Stone Magazine

"This man is one of the millions of Syrian refugees, shown after he crossed into northern Iraq last August. Waiting for his brother, he sits with the belongings he could carry, surrounded by the trash of those who came before him." - National Geographic Magazine. I am pretty sure the photographer traveled with the refugees to get the photos.

"AP photographer Anja Niedringhaus captured this photo of an Afghan National Police officer May 15, 2013. Niedringhaus was shot to death Friday by an Afghan policeman while she was covering Afghanistan's presidential election. She was 48." - National Geographic Magazine. She probably asked permission to get this photo.

"To truly capture the event you can’t be a mindless button pusher behind a piece of glass. Do some preliminary research. Once on scene, if you aren’t afraid to talk to strangers, start some casual conversations with those attending the event. Apply the knowledge you gain and try to capture the emotions of the event in your compositions," said Chas Elliott.

"When picking a face out of the crowd, try and frame it with an interesting background. This might be a building, an interesting piece of architecture, or a sign. In this shot, the background happened to be the White House which gives the viewer a good context of the event," said Chas Elliot.

HDR Photography

1) HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.

2) HDR is HDR because not only can the subject be rich with colors but also the background.

3)Bracketing is when you put two photos of the same thing with different exposures together to make an HDR photo.

4) This can be done in Photoshop. And then edited in Lightroom.

5) When doing this you have to be careful when using the Magnetic lasso tool and not accidentally delete something that would want to keep.
