Last night: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Grassfight trees

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Grassfight
Trees
24 October 2010

Better: depends on to what's left of my hearing.
"Spread the love like Brown".Black Rebel Motorcycle Club summed up pretty much until the entire two hours and a 15-minute-long with their words.They were good. That's great, even. "hell, they were amazing times. three members, Robert Levon, Peter Hayes and time part Raveonette Leah Shapiro, played together perfectly.There were no notes missed, not heaven that was hit, clues was not answered. three moved together, as well, of the gang.

Just like their name, they proved to be more threatening.

Because, while the songs were so good shit, they were also damn loud.Rough distortion of guitars mglm frontmen Office bark like a Triumph motorcycle exhaust pipe, and wore it down eardrums like ????'??, force the audience to cover your ears quite often.

But it has been worn a smirk on his face all the time, almost as if the damage to hear the crowd was its own amusement.What else expects a motorcycle club of so called?

The band was just outside the gates firing on all cylinders with "war machine" and "MOM Taught me improvement.", and although they were mostly lit from behind, shading was easily recognizable, even with the guy's liberal use of light high-powered strobes, thank you Jesus, Maria and his hairstyle.

Although the concrete was set early in the show, the audience their song BRMC is connected to "beat the devil tattoo v," stomp valleys that were all instead of singing along with Wu Song tribes.The next step, the band began into beautiful and powerful one version of more melodic songs "Bud" in their blood.

Three members, all dressed all in black – were focused, concentrate on a complete set.

But would explode in facade during a brief acoustic set, when passed both and sang a version of Cyndi Lauper "girls just want to have Fun."Revved up the audience, according to the furious rate full and volume scathing of the first part of the group, was quite ready for the acoustic night. Hayes, however, is saved the moment with his song drinking Hank Williams-the building "a gentle way to lose."

Other band, it was a perfect moment to say, but showed no sign of BRMC slowed.After a blistering version of "6 barrel or shotgun microphones", they closed their show with stadium-worthy "spread your love." at this point, the band left the stage, and shortly after the second song for the Encore.

The last 135 minutes shows that they are not a joke, and wore their endurance BRMC members onstage like tag. but what came with more subtlety was their musicianship. they play scheme with absolute integrity, despite the positions which they hit throughout the night.

What to think of it, these were pretty cool, too.

Grassfight of Denton open displaying a series of energetic post-punk noisy way band Sonic Youth was tight despite. of having just lost a friend, they were fully recharged after a short hiatus.

Visitor's notebook
Personal Bias: always already liked Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but this is my first time to see them live. certainly went far bigger fan.

Random Note: people don't seem to be ready for long set from BRMC. it was clear at the end of the night that failed more than a few in the audience to pace themselves.

By guest: programmed Leah Shapiro is the funky drummer.

Travel photography: article topics

Implementation and some of the people there are crazy about art and some not less about care. I think I'm place further away from the end of the spectrum than am I crazy and often struggle with this topic of photography Travel personally. While I love architecture (another subject for another time), and often its physical connection artistic impression of space, in the past and often do not have gone from my way art photo.

Which have started to change my daughters began the journey with me times more this direction this year in Africa.Their interest in everything I began to appreciate the high art (expensive things in museums) and every day of street performers, painters and sculptures in recent months and already had to appreciate art in place in the determination of the city, region or even the surrounding area.

These photos are your travel history, so find the type you're interested in art, and is My suggestion. Don't worry too much about what is should be photographing. Suppose that you must finish in Paris, but standing in lines and packed in crowds to see the Mona Lisa is really not as you want to spend the afternoon in the city. The fine.But what art in Paris interests you? city like, is rife with graphics and has something to a duct with you. I hope.

After shooting in museums, always check the rules for the first time. There is a wide range of practices worldwide, at least.Some do not allow any photos, others do not allow photographic Flash. Most will do everything in a tripod are distributed, (which can be annoying, as the illumination changes most widely). Be respectful of the Museum and the wishes of the artists in respect of the reproduction of their work, and if in doubt, seek permission. A simple gesture to the camera and showing the current you prefer picture is about as simple as it gets and will understand most of the Member of the curator or staff.

Also, bearing in mind that many street artists and performers cenilaby cash tossed their spots, if you appreciate the work sufficiently to take home in the camera.  And at the occasion were listed before as a great source of information of street artists may be?If you travel on the cheap, knowledge, often several local eats that do not break the Bank.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, or may be, or shop.Both are subjective and up you can assess what is working and what isn't.Whatever you decide, bring back a few shots of the local art scene for the next trip.

Hydra – review of the application

Hydra was the beast of ancient water that heads of nine around; When the head was cut off, the more increased two in his place. I'm not sure whether the name is clearly appropriate for the application, that the Magic works with high dynamic range (HDR) image processing, but look at it. And may change its name to HyDRa!

Hydra can use as Appendix 3 aperture, Lightroom 2.x or stand-alone application So as usual I will see in feet first with almost immediately with the aid of the .PDF file to write this review.

Previously and were prepared a pair of images using the settings of the miniature. Kinda cute, Kodak and truck models were Brazil townscape, its rendered in plaster.

Both shots were exposed ISO 125 with eyelets f8. Shot backgrounds led me to use a shutter speed from 1/1600 second; the foreground to the truck and the shutter speed from 1/60 seconds. This is the extent of exposure of the 4.6 stops f. Each JPEG shot totted as file 3.5 MB.

Open Hydra, the images render this area of the button and ten seconds later THE HDR version has been completed, 2.2 MB JPEG.At this time was that I read the help file tele and experience that you can have and process 10 files in Hydra, each change of exposure as Homer bleat … Doh!

Bang, so disabling the next lot: 10 hauls, quickly taken on the desktop, any JPEG, varying between 2 and 4 MB.Soup: 22 seconds later, the version of the merged HDR.

But something is wrong: they are slight moves between the shots!No probs: Hydra provides tools to align each image to the other, it is somewhat difficult., but at the end of the day's work.

This feature allows you to: you can search for topics, pens the streets to find the appropriate one of the values of exposure, just right for processing HDR and fire off a parenthesis.Don't forget, to a maximum of ten, ten, although the end user may be slaughtered culture helps give effect after downloading until the end or excessive exposed when you merge multiple images.

However, actually fair, I have found way trad considered desirable: exact match multiple shots best taken with a camera firmly on a tripod.Like my last exercise.You do not agree?

Hydra is an excellent and easy-to-use software.It has incredible range of control is easy to operate.What more do you want?

Of course, Photoshop has a feature HDR, easy-to-use and efficient.I tried both Find and decide which you prefer. my money goes on a horse Hydra. Nine heads and all!
There are many people turn on their lips on HDR thoughts, claiming it muddies the shot, deleting a drama, usually exposed image. I'm a little with them … but Hydra provides a variety of products.

A Guest Post by Lithuanian Photographer Tadas Naujokaitis.

Bird photography is quite difficult because birds don’t do what a photographer wants. Moreover, it’s often hard to get close to them. And when you have more experience in photography, you realize that it’s even more difficult to take a good bird photo, because you need a good background and a beautiful environment. However, there are a number of ways you can improve the bird photos you take. In this article, I’ll explain some tips on photographing birds near feeders.

The place is the first thing you need to consider. You need to decide what bird species you want to photograph, and work out where you’ll find that kind of bird.

Depending on your location, even your backyard can be a great place for a feeder to attract the species you’re after. I wanted to photograph forest birds, so I chose a local forest. I searched for the exact place in that forest quite a long time—mainly, I needed to consider the background, and the amount and direction of the light that reached the feeder.

Ideally, your location will have a smooth background (when I search for a background, I use manual focusing at ~4m and take many test shots) and enough light. I’ve found it’s best when the sunshine reaches the feeder in early morning. Also, be sure to ask for a permission to feed and photograph the birds if you are not the land owner.

Once you’ve worked out the exact place where you’ll put your feeder, you need a hide. I recommend using a permanent hide, because birds will understand it as a part of environment, and you won’t need to set it up and then wait while the birds get used to it each time you decide to take photos.

You can build the hide from whatever you like—even an old door can be very useful. I built my hide from the branches I found in the area. It required a bit more work, and it isn’t waterproof, but I didn’t want to use expensive materials because there is always the risk that your hide can be damaged by other people if you don’t build it in your own backyard.

One more thing to note: the hide should be large enough for you to stay in it comfortably, because you may spend many hours in it. This is how my hide looks:

The construction of the feeder itself isn’t very important. I prefer the platform feeder because, if you like, you can put many decorations on it when you’re photographing birds.

However, the food is very important. I recommend using sunflower seeds, peanuts, and suet cakes. Other similar products should be fine, too, but be sure the food you choose won’t harm the birds you’re photographing. The food must not be tainted, salted or smoked. And if you feed birds in the colder seasons of the year, you must feed them constantly until the weather becomes warm and the snow melts—otherwise many birds can die. Be prepared to spend some money on food. As am example, you may need even more than 100kg of sunflower seeds for one winter if you use them as the main food.

If the birds have already found the food, you can start shooting. Find a beautiful perch, twig or rotten stump and put them on the feeder or near it. If you’d like, find some decorations to add to the scene—berries, for example. They will make the composition of your shots more lively.

Be creative: try using various perches, or put the food in such place that you don’t see it though the lens. You can use holes in the feeder, put the food on the side of the perch that isn’t visible, or simply place it below the perch on which the bird will sit.

The food can also be put in such location that the perch becomes an intermediate stop for birds moving towards the food. Often it’s difficult to photograph the bird without food in its bill. If this is your goal, try to hide some food so the bird will need to search for it. You can also take some pictures of birds without food, when the food has just run out, but you won’t have much time to shoot before the birds realise that there’s no more food and fly away.

My recommendation, however, is to always have plenty of food in the feeder, which will attract more visitors to the feeder, and be ready to quickly take a photo before the birds take any food.

You should get good results with any DSLR and a 100-200mm lens. However, with longer focal length, you’ll get a better background. A tripod is usually necessary, too.

Exposure: 1/50-1/500 or even shorter, depending on how fast the birds are (faster birds need a shorter exposure), and how much light you have (if there isn’t much light, you may need to set longer exposure if you don’t want to use high ISO settings).

Aperture: if you don’t have enough light and want the best possible background, select the largest aperture (the smallest number). If it’s difficult to get the whole bird in focus, close the aperture a bit.

ISO: use as low an ISO speed as possible. However, if you don’t have much light, it’s better to set ISO 800 and get sharp pictures than ISO 200 and take blurry ones.

The best time for photography is morning or evening because the light is soft and has a pleasant hue, shadows are not so distinct, and it’s easier to get details from very bright and dark areas. Overcast days are better than sunny ones because the shadows are less distinct. However the midday sun can be your friend if its rays are diffused by trees.

It’s usual to leave some space in the direction in which the bird is looking or flying. Try using the rule of thirds in your composition. Avoid any distracting elements and take the picture at the bird’s eye level. Don’t always try to fill the frame with a bird: remember that birds are very fast creatures, so they need space. Even in the photo!

The best part of bird photography near feeders for me is that I have a great time. It’s usually hard to believe that 10 hours have already passed – I always wish I had more time. I hope you will have a good time photographing birds near feeders, too.

Halloween photo tips

With Halloween a few days away I thought it was time to update our article Halloween photography tips some new information and pictures.

There are many actors around to photograph Halloween Jack o lantern from traditional through to people in costume to the left or treat "treats", etc. it's time for colors, emotions and many interesting topics.

Keys to capture their are not different from the usual keys to good composition photography. how photography Halloween this year, you should be aware of the basics of good digital photos was elected the following tutorials we already recorded before and should be helpful with photography Halloween:

Get more tips like this by offers to digital Photography school

Before pressing the shutter, ask yourself "what the point of contact (or point of interest) this picture?"All of the images clearly have something in their attention to those who have them — learn more about focal points and how to raise them here.

One way to increase the composition of the shots is to put the points of interest Inn smart position.While the third States may be broken with great effect useful in mind is the principle.

Halloween is a time of drama and you can add it in the images collection of Nice and close and fill the frame with your topic. persons or objects — getting nice and tight usually adds punch to your shots.

When photographing people in one of the most effective methods of composition is the use of the space around their surfaces effectively giving more space on the page with their face that during their search.

I suspect the day after Halloween, that photo sharing Web sites will be filled with pictures from the pumpkin, that all look very much the same.It should be distinguished for finding a fresh perspective to the images.

It is easier to distracted by aggressive part time as Halloween, but its often when you step back, look around and please note the smaller details can be found "shots of money".Times as Halloween are filled with all kinds of smaller details and photo worthy moments scenery, carving pumpkins, including persons getting dressed in costumes, sleeping children until the end of the hand bags full of treats at the end of the night, "fangs" Aunt Marie, before and after shots of the parties, close up food, etc

Halloween is a time that people collect and is the ideal time to practice with the techniques of photos of the group.

Halloween parties are big time to the camera for some pictures build friends and family, in great time dressed in all manner of costumes.Check out 11 build photography techniques.

The pictures that come from the mind when I think of Halloween are quite dark and Wymyslcie these candles in pumpkins etc. Finally, the actual operation of the Halloween seems to happen after dark.As a result, it is worth exactly think light sources for your pictures.

You really capture the mood of these situations, you want to avoid the clear and bright light Flash photographs (or at least withdraw several stops and diffuse it) and so you need to turn off your Flash and one (or all) of three things to a certain extent (this is from our exposure series triangle posts):

increase your ISO – the greater the number of the more sensitive image sensor is light and darker conditions you can shoot without having to release the shutter speed on downside appears more grainy or noisey shots. slow determines shutter — choice of longer shutter allows more light to the camera on the downside, you'll see movement in your shots blur (which may add to the spookiness of the image, but also can destroy). consider using a tripod if you can extend your network speed. use snapshot larger shield – this is to broaden the hole in the network of lenses and allows you to increase the amount of light it will also reduce the depth of field in your photos if you have a DSLR with a few different lenses is to use the "fastest" lenses you as this will you choose larger apertures. for example, My lens f1.4 supports poor much better than My lenses f4.

Another strategy that I've heard some readers steps at this time of year is diffusing the Flash from the camera with a colored cellophane try lesson of its effect on your photos, as well as provide light produces a glow, which can add to your shots – red color may be a good Attempt. probably wanted to test this before the big night as getting the right density diffuser will be critical.

Photographing the Jack-o lanterns is particularly difficult to get the full effect of the Glowing inside the Pumpkin is slightly walk tightrope between overexposing and underexposing due to the light and dark patches in the shot should be taken instead of only one spark inside it is probably worth it to give some light additional using two or three series of shots taken also at different exposures (bracketing) and you should get one or two, which enable the impact you are after.

You have several pictures of Halloween to share? post them to join the visible on our forum.

In this tutorial Natalie Norton shares 7 great tips for great Maternity Photography.

When I first began doing maternity work I made a pledge. A commitment I swore I’d stand by through thick and thin. I promised myself I’d never take “the maternity picture.” You know the one. Daddy’s arms around mommy’s belly with hands affectionately forming… gag… excuse me… a heart. There’s NOTHING wrong with this photo. AT ALL. Calm your rage oh you who just did this exact shot this afternoon. It’s just that I didn’t want to do the typical maternity image that every mother who’s every had her belly photographed has in one of her 9 baby albums (9 for the first child that is… 1 for the second…a few images in an envelope somewhere for the third… and oh, that poor fourth child, he has to borrow pictures from his brother when he’s highlighted on the bulletin board in Kindergarten). I marched right into that first session ready to stand by my commitment to creativity! I’d no sooner pulled out my camera than mom, all giddy with excitement, said “Woo! Can we do that shot with Daddy’s arms around me and our hands forming a heart over my belly button?!?” I stood by that pledge of mine for a full… well, 2.4 seconds. Of course I did the shot. But guess what? I did a lot of other stuff that she’d never have dreamed of. Guess which image DID NOT get purchased. Belly button heart.

Here’s 7 tips toward creative maternity photography:

So many maternity sessions are done in studio. I understand the reasons behind this. I’ve been pregnant. 3 times over. I’m not the petite and pretty pregnant. I’m the gal you find wedged between the double doors at The Sizzler. Studio shoots are great because there’s privacy. I can’t argue with that. Particularly if you’re going to do anything in less than a fully clothed state (that’s my PC way of saying naked). But there’s something about being outside. Taking that natural beauty of a woman who’s ready to bring new life into the world and placing her in the majesty of the great outdoors is simply breathtaking.

When you shoot a mommy-to-be in her own home she’s comfortable to let go in a way that she may not be otherwise. This is a fantastic reason to hold maternity sessions at home. This is not however why I do it. As a photographer I feel like it’s my responsibility to help my subjects feel comfortable and capable of giving me their best, no matter where we’re shooting. I pride myself on my ability to do this. To me, it’s a HUGE part of my success as a photographer (Uh oh. I feel a post in this regard coming on… check back soon). I shoot maternity sessions at home primarily because it’s wonderful for a couple to have a capture that truly shows what their life was like at the time their baby came to be a part of their family. I’m a second generation photographer so I’ve got some really lovely shots of my sweet momma awaiting my arrival. My favorite however is a simple picture of her standing by my bassinet with her hand on her tummy. I CHERISH it.

No matter where you shoot, studio, home, outside, 7Eleven, you’ve got to simplify your surroundings. The beauty of a mother anticipating the arrival of her child should be captured in a way that allows the miracle to speak for itself. Pregnancy doesn’t require anything “else” to be present in a photograph to help tell it’s story. Everything in the frame that may not belong will simply serve to distract from the story that’s already being told, naturally. Pay attention to background.

Women don’t generally feel very sexy when they’re pregnant. Understandably so, and trust me I connect with this feeling as much as the next gal. But just because an expectant mother doesn’t feel sexy, that doesn’t mean she’s not totally knock out. Bring that out in her. Pull that beauty out of her. A good way to do this is by talking as you shoot. It’s perfectly appropriate to say things like: “That’s beautiful!” “Yes, perfect!” “Oh that’s just LOVELY.” “Pregnancy looks good on you girl!” Whatever works! If you’re a male photographer you’ll need to be careful about what you say in this crazy world of sexual harassment, but you’re even more capable of pulling the beauty out of her than a female photographer. It’s one thing when your girlfriend tells you you’re beautiful, but when your girlfriend’s brother tells you that you’re looking good, you actually believe it. Obviously be careful and be genuine. The success of this tip will depend on your personality, but you can help her help herself. If she feels pretty she’ll look a whole heck of a lot better. It’s that simple.

Hopefully new babies are coming into a loving home. I always try to include photographs that highlight the tender relationship between mom and dad, because bringing a child into the world with someone is arguably love in it’s purest form.

Remember that often a baby is coming into an established family unit (not to say that Mom and Dad alone aren’t an “established family unit” but for the sake of my point, go with me on this one). If the siblings are available, make sure to include them in at least a few frames. I have to mention the dog, because I’ve got a sister-in-law who’s dog, Wanda (seriously that’s her name) is her pride and joy. When she and her hubby have kids, you can trust that Wanda will be right there in at least a handful of her maternity photos. She’s as much a part of the family as the next guy.

Don’t just shoot what’s always been shot. This is a good general rule of photography. I really try to be “consistently inconsistent” (I recently heard another photographer, Nate Kaiser of theimageisfound.com, use this term and I had to pirate it). Let me explain, you’ve got to approach each shoot as it’s own. I’m very committed as a photographer to tailoring each shoot for the subject I’m photographing. Like I said before, this is a good general rule that applies particularly to maternity photography. Even though millions and millions of mothers have given birth to millions and millions of babies for millions and millions of years, a momma-to-be needs to feel like her pregnancy is miraculous, special and sacred, that the things she’s experiencing are unique only to her. Because they are.

Happy Shooting!!
