Cropping+MDC


 * Assignment**
 * 1) **View and discuss the Top Ten Tips for good photography on the Kodak website.**
 * 2) Create a wiki page named Cropped initials
 * 3) Find a photo on Flickr Commons. Copy the URL. Create a link on your Cropped initials wiki page to the image on Flickr.
 * 4) Go back to Flickr. Double click on the photo (maybe double click again) Select the size. Then you should be on a screen that allows you to download the photo. Download it to My documents. Or. right-click and "Save Image As" to the My Documents folder.
 * 5) Go to Pixir.com and select Editor (Advanced). Select "Open image from Computer". Find the image in My Documents (or the Downloads folder)
 * 6) Crop the image. Use the grid to ensure the most important part of the image is on one of the "thirds" lines on the grid. (So not use any other effect. Just crop the picture.) Save it. Import it onto you wiki page.
 * 7) Explain why you cropped the image as you did. Explain how the connotation (the meaning) of the image is changed due to the cropping.

The first picture shows people lining up with cameras, posters, and other offerings standing behind a thin border on the ground that separates them from the soldiers. It is as if they were trying to either protest against something or congratulate the soldiers. There is one woman there offering a rose to a soldier as in thanks.

The second picture is cropped so that there were only soldiers and no more extra people. Now because of the way it is cropped, the the connotation of the image changed by making the picture look as if the soldiers are preparing or lining up for a special ceremony. I cropped the image like that because I wanted to experiment to see if taking out the extra people would give the picture a different meaning.
