Foto de libro. Para este desenfoque mejor un f2.8, aunque el f3.5 da el pego. La profundidad de campo ha de abarcar exclusivamente al sujeto, y el fondo ha de estar desenfocado lo justo para crear un contexto separado pero reconocible. No es necesario una Leica de 4000€ para hacer una foto así. Está claro que no es la flecha sino el indio. De todos modos el grado de desenfoque se elige en función del tipo de escena y las distancias relativas entre cámara-sujeto-fondo hasta conseguir el efecto deseado.

United Launch Alliance (ULA) engineers and technicians completed a successful pathfinder exercise to assess procedures and operations in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in preparation for the first Vulcan Centaur launch.

The pathfinder used a mass simulator built specifically to mimic the mass of Vulcan Centaur's core stage, as well as an outer diameter of 17.7 feet. The simulator was transported from the Port Canaveral wharf, where the R/S RocketShip will deliver Vulcan Centaur rockets, to ULA facilities for processing.

The highlight of the rehearsal was hoisting the simulator at the Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) to verify the tools and techniques that will be employed next year for the next-generation rocket's maiden launch campaign.

This selfie was taken in one of the gyms on OSU's campus. Because I live in Park-Stradley hall, which is on South campus, I often go to Jesse Owens South (where this photo is taken). In the image, I am running on one of the elliptical machines. In order to distract myself while running, I either watch my show, Suits, on Prime Video, or listen to my "Workout" Spotify playlist. All last year, I only worked out a few times. However, this year my roommate and I decided that we would encourage each other to go to the gym every other day. Since working out, I now feel that I fit in better with the principles held in high esteem by my family. Since my brothers have always played sports, exercise has always been very important to them.

This selfie has made me change the way that I see myself because it has made me proud of spending my time somewhere that people go to better themselves by improving their physical fitness. This is important to my identity because it has to do with the influence of health. I decided to start working out because I wanted to get into better shape and improve my well-being.
