PEN Presents: “Secret Sources" brought together NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, Jesselyn Radack of ExposeFacts' Whistleblower & Source Protection Program, New York Times reporter James Risen, and moderator Susan Glasser of Politico to debate the impact of the Obama administration’s aggressive pursuit of national security leaks on freedom of expression. The issue has gained unprecedented national attention following the 2013 revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who joined the event via Skype following the panel in a conversation with PEN Executive Director Suzanne Nossel on whistleblowing and questions of conscience.
This forum builds off of a new PEN report, Secret Sources: Whistleblowers, National Security, and Free Expression. PEN’s research demonstrates that gaps in existing protections for whistleblowers, failure to adequately address retaliation against them, and the Obama Administration’s use of the Espionage Act against leakers is damaging freedom of expression, press freedom, and access to information in the United States.

This sculpture belongs to the early days of the sculptor Josep Reynés, despite that, is considered as one of his best works. Highlights the delicate finesse and sensitivity of the topic "children and flowers." Reflects a very refined taste typical of the era of the late nineteenth century and a clear influcencia of their formation in Paris.

I've been experimenting using HDR image as a light source in Blender and rendering with Yafray. I've used the Biotrust tutorial to set up this scene, with additional info about HDR image setup from Blender noob to pro wiki.
HDR(i) stands for High Dynamic Range (imaging). Normally digital images, eg like jpg's, are just using whole numbers between 0 and 255 to represent one of the RGB colors, this gives about (256*256*256) 16777216 different colors. Such images are also called LDR (Low Dynamic Images). HDR images are using decimal (floating point) numbers to represent their values, and gives a lot more information about the image. That would be like using a value between 0 and 4294967296 to represent just one of the RGB colors.
With digital image processing programs (eg. photoshop or cinepaint) this gives a lot of editing opportunities. It will bring colors out from even quite dark areas of the image. This is why HDR images often are so colorful.
HDR images in computer rendered images (and movies) are for this reason used as light source (like in my image above), and gives the scene a much better and natural lightening of rendered objects. This is especially useful when rendered object are mixed with real images. The HDR image used in scenes are therefore taken from reflections from a Chrome ball where the scene is to be rendered. This technique is called light probening.
HDR images can also be produced by taking several pictures of the same scene using different exposures and composing them together. In this way details in both the bright and dark areas of an image can be seen. Try to search flickr with the keyword 'hdr', and you will discover a whole new world of digital images.
The hdr image used in this rendering was taken from Paul Debevec's homepage.
(please add comments, I am after all a noob at this subject.....)
