My First Time of Glamour Photography

Well if I had a penny for every offer to hold my camera bag, reflector or tripod, I wouldn’t be writing this article.

As a developing semi professional photographer over the last 2 years the author had worked in marketing for 16 years now. Producing everything from brochures, to web sites, to videos and conferences.

The corporate straight jacket required a Harry Houdini manoeuvre if some sanity was to be retained. So, the interest in photography, which had always been there, brought the author from buying in professionals, to retraining as one.

In photographing all sorts of subjects, seeing what appealed and looking for a style of my own - which is still being sort, I did think that glamour photography might appeal as an extension to my love of fashion, so with an open mind I gave it a go. But how do you approach photographing glamour models? Well this is where all the laddish behaviour has to be left firmly outside of the studio, else that’s where you’ll be very quickly. I attended a small workshop style shoot with 3 other photographers at Blue Moon studios on Dudley, West Midlands. I’ll admit that I was a little nervous of what they day might bring.

We had plenty of alternatives to work with. The studio offered a wide range of photography services meaning it had various themed areas or “sets” and of course provided a professional model. Blue louvered blinds gave scope for a more creative lighting set up as well.

The day was a greater challenge than I imagined - I found my creativity drying up and was struggling to come up with concepts that worked. I prefer much more subtle and low key lighting effects than the modern “all white” look. Less was certainly more - but not when it came to clothes, the shots I felt worked better with a hint of what you couldn’t see. You certainly have to be clear in your mind as to what you want and how to communicate models. It’s hard not to be put off at the end of a sequence of images when your model comes running over to pinch the camera off you and check the shots on the back without a stick on .

It’s good to work to a theme and to build a set a group of shots that tell a story or show a sequence. Also pictures that show the process of an action rather than just the end result - it makes for more feeling and adds anticipation. Personally I like to try and get a bit of attitude from the girl into the shots - something that shows their personality.

As for kit , there was the trusty Nikon DSLR mainly used with an 18-70mm lens. Also some shots were taken from the mezzanine of one of the sets using a 70-200mm f2.8 to give a different perspective. Studio flash was one or two Bowens Esprit 500w flash heads with radio triggers and soft boxes. The lighting was kept at a low level - firstly in relation to the model and secondly in terms of power, so that the atmosphere was conveyed in the pictures. Most of these shots were taken using one flash head, soft box and all the windows darkened using the blinds, this being the preferred set up for the professional photographer. Strobe head power was set to one quarter for starters then reduced to suit.

As for digital camera settings I rely on my favourite starting position - 160 sec and f8 - camera on Manual. Then the rest is done testing and a quick check of the histogram. With low key lighting and the model wearing partly black and seated on a black sofa I expected the histogram to be skewed to the left.

I was looking for something alternative to the typical cliche topless shots and eventually found the great contrast in black and colour with low key lighting.

The only variation to this was the portrait shot with the models hair over one eye, I absolutely love this shot, which is now on my web site and was cropped out of a wider three quarter shot.

All in all a good day and a great experience, on reflection it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. So would I do it again? Yes it’s a challenging area to work in and a great test of your creativity.

The advantages of wireless alarm systems

A home alarm can indeed be a great piece of equipment to ensure the security of your belongings. Whether you are sleeping at night or you are on holidays you know that your house is under supervision. However many people feel discouraged with the amount of installation work that is required to get an alarm system up and running. Fortunately with wireless alarm systems you do not have these problems anymore. This article provides a quick overview of wireless alarm systems to help you learn more on this.

Wireless alarm systems are especially recommended in the case of already built and furnished houses. After having spent some time and money in decorating their house it is normal that people may be hesitant to install an alarm system. The advantage of a wireless model is that the sensors and alarm is connected via radio waves thus limiting the need for wires.

Wireless systems are also recommended if you want to install it yourself. Given that there is no cables needed to install it can be simpler for you to accomplish it yourself. This can be useful if you want to save some money on your security system. Moreover wireless alarm system can easily be disassembled and transferred to another place if you are moving houses. This French article on home fire alarms (alarme lit sec ) and security monitoring contains some interesting information and should be worth having a look.

However wireless alarm systems do have their detractor. One of the major criticism against wireless systems is that they are battery powered and could go dead at any time. However this problem was only with the first generation of alarm system. Nowadays wireless alarm systems are more sophisticated and will automatically warn you whenever your battery may go dead.

Wireless alarm systems have certainly solved some problems that were associated with wired models. Due to the fact that these systems are connected through radio waves you do not have to disturb your house decor because of wires. In less than 4 hours you can get an alarm system going.

Written by Pierre Lombard for the French site Alarmemaison.com where you can have more information on alarms (securite maison) and home security system.

Objects such as blind cords are considerably dangerous; they could easily become wrapped around a child’s neck and several fatalaties have occurred because of the child’s robe cord getting tied around the neck in the middle of the the fall.

As long as protected practices are carried out, your child should be okay. Educate them to under no circumstances jump on the top bunk and how to use the ladder correctly.

Create the honeycomb core by selectively bonding layers

Honeycomb type core adds nothing to the stiffness of a structural sandwich panels construction other than to create the two faces function as a unit. The stiffness, EI , of a given construction is thus based entirely upon the physical properties and dimensions of the two faces. Honeycomb cores are used in the fabrication of lightweight structures. The core material is typically ’sandwiched’ ‘tween skins and plywood, aluminum, FRP composite material, steel, granite, solid surface materials, paper etc.

Honeycomb cores are made by selectively binding layers of scored material and then expanding the stack to create a regular cellular structure. Alternative routes for their manufacture include corrugation followed by bonding and the extrusion of thermoplastics. Honeycomb composite paneling are used extensively for decking in both military and commercial aircraft. Typically, commercial aircraft flooring is about 1cm thick and is made of glass or carbon fibre reinforced epoxy skins with a Nomex honeycomb core.

Thus, since no difference in pressure is made between the inside and the outside of the sandwich panel, the front and rear surface layers are prevented from being damaged or removed from the honeycomb core. As a result, the sandwich panel with high strength can be received. Thus the panels are widely used in many industrial and commercial applications of the day-to-day life such as lightweight trailer panels. Thus, each panel having some different features suitable for that particular environment. The panel itself is reversable and symmetrical so don’t worry about installing it backward.

Are Wildfire Prevention and Energy Awareness Related Issues?

Being energy wise is becoming more and more a part of our culture recently. Conserving energy in our homes and driving is very worthwhile.  Crude oil prices could go back to their peak in no time if demand exceeds supply.

My vehicle is a large Yukon, which is great for hauling things.  Unfortunately it does not get great gas mileage so I have trimmed the number of trips I make to the office as much as I can. The fuel budget has been helped by that strategy.  I would get a smaller car, but this baby is pretty useful for carrying loads and large groups of people on a trip.

We have tried to cut back on energy usage at home by installing extra insulation and double-pane windows.  Energy talk on the news and in magazines slowly does have some influence on how we think and act.

Talk about a waste of energy—the fuel spent on airplanes, helicopters and trucks in fighting wildfires in California is insane.  Even the evacuation of thousands of families is an unfortunate waste of gasoline.  Check out the Minutemanfire website to see if there are other posts about preventing wildfires and their effect on civilization.  Even when fire buffers had been created, homes with tile roofs have been destroyed in fires, surprisingly.

Rebuilding a fire-damaged home likewise utilizes energy that would otherwise be saved, a further link between fires and energy usage.  We may not think about it much, but in fact there is a connection between fire prevention and conserving energy.

Xbox 360 Problems - The Most Common Cause

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is a great piece of gear, there is no doubt about that. The amount of computing power housed in that little box is more than what your average personal computer had not so long ago and of course this can be seen in the quality of the graphics and the complexity of the game play. All of this computing power does have a by-product though and unfortunately this can have an adverse affect on machines.

The by-product that I am talking about is heat, and it is the enemy of these gaming consoles. Whether it be put down to a design fault or the placement of the machine when in use, they have trouble in effectively dissipating the built up heat which can have a detrimental affect on the hardware. Often the dreaded ‘red ring of death’ is caused by heat build up, sometimes even after a short gaming session.

The ‘dreaded red ring of death’ is when the lights on the front of the console, which are normally green, turn to red. The number of red lights showing can give you an indication as to the nature of the problem and possible causes. The best situation to have is all four segments of the light showing red as this indicates a disconnected AV cable. Turning the power off and reconnecting the AV cable is all that is needed to solve that one.

Having three or one red light showing is what you don’t want as this indicates a hardware failure, which is quite often attributed to a build up of heat that has affected the internal components such as the motherboard. It is quite possible that switching the unit off and letting it cool down for a reasonable period of time may return it back to normal, however this is not always the case and often further inspection and repairs are needed.

If your machine is out of warranty, and given that the original warranty only covered the first ninety days, there is a good chance that you will be able to repair it yourself with the right information. There is no need to send the console off for repair and wait weeks for it to return and pay through the nose for something that should not have happened in the first place. The frustration of having the machine play up in the first place is only compounded when you are forced to wait weeks for your console to be returned and as documented throughout the net there is no guarantee that it will be one hundred percent when it comes back anyway!

Take matters in to your own hands and check out the range of DIY Xbox Repair Guides and save both time and money!
