"this sentence has five words. here are five more words. five-word sentences are fine. but several together become monotonous. listen to what is happening. the writing is getting boring. the sound of it drones. it’s like a stuck record. the ear demands some variety. now listen. i vary the sentence length, and i create music. music. the writing sings. it has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. i use short sentences. and i use sentences of medium length. and sometimes, when i am certain the reader is rested, i will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals—sounds that say listen to this, it is important." - Gary Provost

I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people over the weekend.
This is Chris Hanna and Laura Hash.
We talked a bit about what makes a person unique. Laura used the analogy of novels. (Assuming all are in one language) Novels often contain the same letters, words, themes, and even structures. But the summation of all the words and sentences, in the order they play out, makes each one unique.
I am unique.
You are too.
What do you think makes you unique?

the sentence has nothing to do with the scene in the photo, but if you just set your mind up to something, you've got to follow it, and maybe it will turn out to be perfect, and by perfect i mean "like you imagined it, or even better" perfect is when you've achived your goal. satisfied

Shi Tao is serving a 10-year sentence in China on charges of "leaking state secrets abroad." Shi worked as an editor for Dangdai Shang Bao (Contemporary Trade News), a newspaper in the city of Changsha, in Hunan Province. He also wrote essays calling for political reform that were posted on overseas news Web sites that are banned in China.
He was arrested in November 2004 for posting notes from a directive issued by China's Propaganda Department that instructed the media how to cover the 15th anniversary of the military crackdown in Tiananmen Square. Shi's appeal was rejected in June. His mother has filed for a review of the appeal, charging "serious procedural defects."
Shi's imprisonment highlights the Chinese government's intense efforts to control the Internet, the only alternative to China's officially sanctioned print and broadcast media. The government monitors Internet content, blocks Web sites, requires bloggers to register their identities, and solicits the help of companies doing business in China. In this case, the U.S. Internet giant Yahoo helped authorities identify Shi through his e-mail account.
The other sentence I read on the outside of the DVD cover for OneLight Workshop read,...
Aperture controls flash exposure.
What does this mean?
Once more, for this series of photos, I was standing in the living room/dining room. All the lights were still turned on, and the brightest light in the room, the dining room candleabra, was behind me and slightly to the camera's right.
As you can see in these photos, very little to no ambient light (as seen in the previous series) made it into the exposure. Pretty much the only light was that of the flash. In the photo in the upper left, I started with an exposure of 1/250 sec at f/3.5, with an ISO of 100. I chose to start with this exposure for the following reasons: 1) 1/250th of a second is the fastest speed at which my camera will sync with the flash; 2) f/3.5 is the largest aperture available at the focal length I used (35mm); and 3) the sharpest and least grainy images are obtained at the lowest ISO.
The sequence of exposures go from left to right, top to bottom. If you move your mouse over the notes, you can see the exposure for each image. Going from the first to the last photo, the difference between each exposure is 'one stop' of light. That means that in each subsequent image the smaller aperture used reduced the amount of light entering the camera from my flash by one-half. So, the difference between photo #1 and photo #3 is one-quarter, and the difference between photo #1 and photo #4 is one-eighth, etc.
This is pretty much the basics behind flash photography. There are other factors, but these two are your primary means of control over the lighting of your subject. Everything else is practice and perfection of craft.
(One effect of changing your aperture, whether you use a flash on- or off-camera, or even if you don't use any flash at all, is that the DOF changes. Some call DOF 'depth-of-field' and others call it 'depth-of-focus'. Both are accurate terms, but 'depth-of-focus' is, for those not familiar with this term, probably the most descriptive of what actually happens. At each aperture, there is a range of distance that is in focus. The larger the aperture (represented by smaller numbers, like f/3.5), the smaller the depth-of-focus. It is this smaller depth-of-focus that creates the effect called 'bokeh'. The smaller the aperture (represented by larger numbers, like f/22), the greater the depth-of-focus. So, if you want to take a photo of something, and have that background thrown out of focus, use a large aperture.)
You might be wondering why this series shows only six photos and not nine, like the last set. Simply put, I wanted to demonstrate one-stop intervals since that involves cutting the amount of light in half, or doubling the amount of light. At 35 mm, the smallest aperture available on my current lens is f/22, and that was just one-third of a stop down from f/20, the last stop used in the sixth photo. You can see, though, that if I'd been able to go down by one more stop to f/29, that a seventh photo would've been completely black. Any photos beyond what I've shown here really would've been pointless.
