1. A man names Han was pushed into a subway track by another man in New York City. Han was unable to get himself out of the train tracks and the photographer Umar Abbasi was there when it happened and was unable to get Han out of the tracks so he took photos with the flash to try and stop the train. But the attempt failed and Han was killed by the train
2. The photographer said he took the photo because he was unable to get Han out of the tracks and used his flash on his camera to try and stop the train in time.
3. I do not think the photographer should have taken the photo because as you can see from the photo Han could have made it out of the train tracks if you tried hard enough and there might have been people around to help, which there are some people in the background of the photo.
4. In this case i don't believe the photographer chose the best decision, he could have saved Han or gotten the peoples attention in the background to come help if he was not strong enough to pull him out.
5. I don't agree that the New York Times should have put that photo on the front page of the magazine. The family probably went through some real rough times and its a very disturbing image too look at. That photo was taken just seconds before Han was killed and as you can see he knew he was going to die and that must be hard for his family to look at along with friends and people who knew him.
6. I think it is more important for a photojournalist to try and stop bad things from happening then getting a photo. The photographer Umar has to live with the guilt and regret of not being able to save Han or try and get someone to help but instead he got a good/sad photographic.
7. I believe it is ethically acceptable for photographer to involve him/herself in the photographic they are taking because in this case the photographer could have saved the man.
8. Yes i do believe photographers should avoid influencing events that happen because if you were like this photographer you be in a lot of trouble and questioned why you didn't save him when you could have
9. "How does “taking pictures” tell a conductor to stop a train? Huh? Is this photographer guy a moron? Throw down your camera and run to help the guy. If you fail, at least you tried. Taking pictures isn’t trying. What conductor would think, “Oh, look, someone’s taking pictures…maybe I should stop the train.”
i think this is the best response from a photographer about the situation because it shows the logic of the what the guy was doing wrong and how his thought process was right. It also shows that he could have done more in the situation to try and save Han.

Top 100 photos
MILK DROP CORONET
1. I chose this picture because the read is a eye catcher and the drops on white leading into the center of the paint captures your eye.
2. I read about how it was very hard for the photographer Edgerton had a real hard time trying to capture the moments of when the milk hit the table. It was too dark so he had to used a lot of equipment and bright lights to capture the milk hitting the table.
3. In order to get the picture of things happening so fast like a milk drop you have to get a tube and fill it with milk and make sure the milk comes out as one drop every few seconds. Those drops then pass through an led which triggers the camera to take the picture. This process happens every few seconds and is continuos.

You need to be organized when it comes to taking photos When using photography you can use photo shop and use it more.
