3,200 Year Old Tree Never Been Captured In A Single Image... (Distractify) Cloaked in the snows of California’s Sierra Nevada, the 3,200-year-old giant sequoia called the President rises 247 feet. Two other sequoias have wider trunks, but none has a larger crown, say the scientists who climbed it. The figure at top seems taller than the other climbers because he’s standing forward on one of the great limbs. The trunk is 27 feet wide and the his mighty branches hold 2 billion needles, the most of any tree on the planet. On top of that, he still adds one cubic meter of wood per year – making him one of the fastest growing trees in the world. Giant sequoias exist in only one place, where The President and smaller trees that make up his “House” and “Senate”, reside. The team painstakingly put together a set of pulleys and levers to climb the tree. Awesome stuff. Chael Nichols, Ngm staff. Order Large Format Prints at: NationalGeographicCart.com
Rules for Perfect Lighting: Understanding The Inverse-Square Law In technical terms, an inverse-square law is defined as "any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity." With a definition like that, you're probably wondering what on earth this could possibly have to do with photography (and no one could blame you). Inverse-square laws apply to many, many things in the world. Today however, we're only going to be looking at one of them: light. For those of us without an intense knowledge of advanced mathematics (or even very basic mathematics for that matter) something such as the inverse-square law can seem incredibly daunting. The law itself, in photography, applies to lighting. Let's say we have a light source which is on full power and our subject is 1 meter away it. According to the law, the power of the light will be inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction The Most Wonderful Castles From Around The World Since childhood castles are explaind as grand places, full of your favorite fairytale characters and their dreaded evil step mothers. No matter where it is or who lives there, castles contain such a majestic air about them. Castles can be romantic, spooky, historical, or downright beautiful, and usually they are all of the above. Back in the medieval period, most castles were built as a form of control, so that a ruling family could keep watch over their surrounding town. Today many castles from the past stand tall and proud, a memory of all that has happened there, and all that stands to come.

Back Button Focus: What is it and why should you try it? What operation on a camera could possibly be more simple than pressing the shutter button to take a picture? There’s not much to it, really – you look through the viewfinder (or at the LCD screen on the back of the camera), press a button with your index finger, wait for the camera to focus, and voilà! You’ve got a photo. Well, as the popular saying goes, what if I told you there was a better way? Hidden deep within the settings of most cameras is a feature called Back Button Focusing, and enabling it can transform your approach to photography. A Brief History The Minolta Maxxum 7000 was one of the first SLR cameras with autofocus capability in 1985. To understand what Back Button Focusing is, it’s important to know a little about the history of the autofocus function on your camera. This system remains in place on most cameras today, and it’s probably how your own camera operates. More Creative Freedom Taking the Power Back Do you like to use back button focus?
The Five Best Tools for Creating Videos Without Installing Software Over the years I've published some lists and reviews of free tools for creating videos online. Quite a few of those tools have been for creating simple videos that are really just automated, audio slideshows. See Animoto for an example of this. There's nothing inherently wrong with having your students use those tools, but at some point you will want to take your video projects to the next level. These are the five tools that I recommend for creating and editing videos without installing any special software. Pixorial is the online video creation tool that I hear teachers talking about a lot lately. WeVideo is a collaborative online video creation tool. PowToon is a nice service for creating explanatory videos through a drag and drop process. Wideo is a service that allows anyone to create animated videos and Common Craft-style videos online.

Todo lo que Necesitas Saber Para Encuadrar Tus Fotografías Las fotos primero se sacan con los ojos para luego, mediante la cámara, inmortalizarlas en papel (o en un archivo digital). La diferencia radica en que la visión no tiene límites establecidos (o se ignoran) mientras las cámaras fotográficas sí y dichos límites, conocidos como bordes, serán el marco de todas tus fotografías. La forma en que utilices dicho limite a la hora de encuadrar (componer) tus fotografías puede que cambie radicalmente las sensaciones que tus fotos trasmiten, por lo que conocer los secretos del encuadre se convierte en casi una obligación. En el artículo te contaré no solo que es el encuadre y los distintos tipos de estos, sino que además aprenderás en que situaciones conviene utilizar uno u otro de modo de potenciar los mensajes y sensaciones que estas trasmiten. No te lo puedes perder! ¿Qué es el encuadre? El encuadre, en fotografía, hace alusión a la porción de la escena que como fotógrafo, utilizaras para tus fotografías.

Storyboard That: The World's Best FREE Online Storyboard Creator Zythophile I dunno, you wait hundreds of years for a herb-flavoured beer, and then two come along at once. Just coincidence, I’m sure, but two new beers (ales, strictly), from the Pilot brewery in Leith, Scotland, and the Ilkley brewery in Yorkshire, have been announced this week that go back to the pre-hop tradition of flavouring your drink with whatever herbs and plants you could find in the local fields, hedgerows and woods, or up on the local moors. I’m delighted to see them, because I love herb-flavoured ales. Beer sommelier Jane Peyton supposedly gathering heather for her gruit ale for the Ilkley brewery – except that *ahem* the heather isn’t in bloom and so wouldn’t be that great for brewing with – and she’d need more than could be gathered with a pair of scissors. Both the breweries producing these new herb ales call them “gruit beers”. That’s not to say there were no ales brewed with herbs in Britain. I’d love to see either of those recipes reproduced.
