Is a lie better then the truth?

By: Yelenna James

 It may not be news that everyone lies, big lies and little white lies, people lie to try and help people or avoid of someone getting hurt by the truth. That doesn’t mean it’s all right to lie for any reason.

Some people may think the truth is the worst thing in the world, because it’ll get them in trouble, like a teenager trying to hide his or her grades. Or a best friend trying to stay out of drama.

I know from experience every time I told a lie, it came back and gave me karma, it could have been any lie but the truth would have been better.

Even parents tell lies, they may tell their children that they’re the smartest child ever or maybe that hair cut suits them, when it really doesn’t. I know the parents are trying to make their kids feel bright but don’t say something that could blow up in the future.

Those kids would grow up with the biggest ego, but that ego could be blown any second, just by the white lie they where told as a kid.

I would say in a relationship that’s where lies are told the most. With the cheating, cooking, looks, and stuff they have in common. Relationships are broken up just because of one lie or tons.

 Maybe it’s the boyfriend saying those jeans don’t make you look fat or maybe it’s the girlfriend saying she loves his or her cooking.

It’s a known fact that guys lie more then girls do.  Also that 82% of lies that are told go undetected. Most people think you can tell if a person is lying by the shift of their eyes but that is just a myth.

Know I know people who lie would use excuses saying I didn’t want to hurt you or see you upset. Or I didn’t want to get in trouble knowing this.

Well at least if I had known the truth I would have been able to get over it faster and do something about it.

I guess excuses like that I could see why people would lie but by telling the truth it would probably wouldn’t cause so much drama and make the situation worse.

Another group of people that would lie the most on this earth are politicians. They try and say all these things that they could do to make this country better. It’s a fact that more than 70 Donald trump statements are false. Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in a tie for 28% on telling the actual truth. Bill Clinton has told the truth more then our President Obama.

They try and get our attention, and most of the time it works, but these politicians are getting people’s hopes up with all they’re saying and then let them down when people find out it was all a lie.

Don’t be a liar liar pants on fire.

GRAFFITI AND FOUND OBJECTS

MERGER PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MERHER PHOTO

1. I think the ground levels look a little off, so that could be a problem, trying to get the right height for each photo, because the ground looks like it's slanted and going downhill.

2. On Bowie campus i think in front of the school would be a great place or maybe lined up in front of the pillers outside. A pretty cool on would be on the bleachers but that would be difficult.

3. A creative thing to do in the photo would be make different dance moves for each picture or tell a story with only 7 pictures would be creative, like dress up in each different picture to tell the story.

4. You could wear costumes for the story like for sleeping beauty for example, dress up as the prince, sleeping beauty, a fairy etc. For the dancing one you could wear but you would typically wear for that type of dance, like hip hip wear a plaid shirt tied around the hips and ballet wear a tutu.

HDR PHOTOS

WARM UP

1. My favorite is a vertical picture of New York City and the way it's angled shows the buildings lined up and the trees in the way and the taxis going up and down the street.

2. Most of them i could see them being taken away but then the ones with amazing focus and lighting just blows my mind on how it was taken with an Iphone, like the view above new york city looking down on the buildings or the panoramas of the mountain and the surfer standing off to the side and the amusement park.

3. The apps they must have used i think made a huge impact on the photos, to get that perfect lighting and to clean up some fuzzy in the photos, they could of changed the color levels on some of the photos or put a filter on it.

4. Two tips that could help me with photography on my phone would be to use some sort of tri pod for the phone so you have a steady picture, and make sure the picture looks professional and that it doesn't look like it was taken on a phone.

HDR PHOTOGRAPHY

1. You'd need to change the shutter speed and make the perfect aperture combination and have an AEB function.

2. To take these kind of photos you want to use a tripod to have a steady photo and it's angled properly and use a HDR software that blends the photos you take into an HDR photo.

3. People could take HDR photos for multiple reasons but one of them is that a photographer couldn not like one of the photos they took, maybe the lighting was off or they didn't get the color contrast they wanted. So they make it into a HDR by blending all the photos with the different exposure levels.

4. We will see both dark and light dynamic range, it's really hard to get that into just one picture. You'll see both dark and light colors pop out of the photo. We'll also expect them to
