• Which aperture gives you the greatest contrast and sharpness, and when to use it 
• Which apertures guarantee the background remains an out-of-focus tone 
• Which one aperture—when combined with the right lens—creates an area of sharpness from three feet to infinity 
• How to creatively use shutter speed to either freeze an action or imply motion 
• Where to take a meter reading when shooting a sunset, snow, or a city at dusk

With new information on white balance, flash, HDR, and more, this updated classic will inspire you to stop guessing and take control of your settings for better photos anytime, anywhere, and with any camera.

2012 US Calendar







2012 US Calendar Overview


2012 US Calendar – Simply Beautiful

This Kindle book is a quick-and-easy-to-use 2012 calendar. It contains a separate page for each month with a photo, as well as a field at the top of the page for quick note recording. This field contains all the days of the given month – for you to be able to record a note for each day.

On the book’s pages, one for each month, I have also stated the number of the week in the year, together with other important items of information like federal holidays and non-working days, plus reminders for the two clock setting days, in March and November. Besides months, the book also contains the full-year calendar for 2012 and 2013, as well as a brief set of instructions on how to record notes.
------------------
Important information related to settings:

When you perform the settings for Kindle, pay attention to two things:
- Displaying should be in "portrait" mode (i.e. press the Aa button on the main page, screen rotation thus becomes first).

- The font size should be a maximum of 4 (this is the default value).
Line spacing maximum: medium, Words per Line: default. (These are all default values.)

To ensure that the calendar stores notes not only in Kindle MyClippings.txt, you must allow "Annotation Backups" in "Settings":

Press "Home", then "Menu", and select "Settings"! Go to the third page, where you will find "Annotation Backups". "Turn on", if it is not turned on.
Once you have done this, all your notes will appear on your own kindle.amazon.com page. Log in and click on the "2012 Us Calendar" under "Your books". All the notes you created in the calendar after turning on "Annotation Backups" will be posted here and you will also be able to share them on your community sites (Facebook, google, twitter) or to make them public on Amazon.

You can also create notes comfortably on your own pc using the "kindle for pc" program: download the book from the "cloud" (Synch and check for new items - or press F5), then select the day of your choice or right-click on it. A small window will appear, in which you can create a note or selection.

When you are finished, remember to synchronise (F5), so that your note becomes available on kindle.amazon.com and on your Kindle reader. (View it full screen, so that the picture does not get pushed to the next page.)

Sketching Light: An Illustrated Tour of the Possibilities of Flash (Voices That Matter)







Sketching Light: An Illustrated Tour of the Possibilities of Flash (Voices That Matter) Overview


Following up on the great success of The Moment It Clicks and The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes, legendary magazine photographer Joe McNally takes us on another memorable ride with Sketching Light, another trip into the land of light--but this time running the gamut from small flash to big flash, and everywhere in between.

Of course, Joe includes coverage of Nikon Speedlights, but he also covers big flash, as well as "in-between" lights as the Elinchrom Quadra. The exploration of new technology, as well as the explanation of older technology. No matter what equipment Joe uses and discusses, the most important element of Joe's instruction is that it is straightforward, complete, and honest. No secrets are held back, and the principles he talks about apply generally to the shaping and quality of light, not just to an individual model or brand of flash.

He tells readers what works and what doesn't via his let's-see-what-happens approach, he shows how he sets up his shots with plentiful sketches and behind-the-scenes production shots, and he does it all with the intelligence, clarity, and wisdom that can only come from shooting in the field for 30 years for the likes of National Geographic, Time, Life, and Sports Illustrated--not to mention the wit and humor of a clearly warped (if gifted) mind.

Concluding this lesson plan is a look at five different real-life photo sessions, each employing a different flash technique. Here, photographers get a deeper understanding of each concept put into practice, marrying the elements of lighting with the natural elements presented by the shoot.

Along the way, he offers his unique insights on such subjects as continuity and discontinuity in editing, dreaming, and reality; criteria for a good cut; the blink of the eye as an emotional cue; digital editing; and much more. In this second edition, Murch reconsiders and completely revises his popular first edition's lengthy meditation on digital editing (which accounts for a third of the book's pages) in light of the technological changes that have taken place in the six years since its publication.

You and I







You and I Overview


Ryan McGinleys first retrospective monograph. For this beautifully realized volume the artist has selected the best photographs from his first decade of work. The first edition is sure to become one of McGinley's most collectable books. Ryan McGinley makes large-scale color photographs of his friends, a group that forms part of New York's Lower East Side youth culture. He uses photography to break down barriers between public and private spheres of activity. His subjects are willing collaborators: drawn from skateboard, music, and graffiti subcultures, they perform for the camera and expose themselves with a frank self-awareness that is distinctly contemporary. The results form a portrait of a generation that is savvy about visual culture and acutely aware of how identity can be communicated through photography. McGinley's newest work signals a departure from the urban youth culture images for which he is best known; he has been working in natural settings outside New York City, creating specific situations for his subjects to lose themselves in the moment. McGinley embraces nature as a site of freedom and captures a sense of buoyancy and release.

Hidden Messages in Water 2011 Wall Calendar







Hidden Messages in Water 2011 Wall Calendar Overview


The Hidden Messages in Water 2011 Wall Calendar presents the revolutionary work of renowned scientist Masaru Emoto, who has discovered that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words and feelings. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Emoto shows that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors.
The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the world around us. Since humans and the earth are composed mostly of water, his message is one of personal health, global environmental renewal, and a practical plan for peace that starts with each one of us.
The interior pages of this calendar are printed on 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer paper, processed chlorine free and printed with soy based inks.
