"Another name for Solar Inverter is PVInverter. The general function of an inverter is to take current from battery and convert current (AC) to run any common load. In this case, Solar panels are made to convert direct current from a photovoltaic array into alternating current .For more information visit www.ecosmart-solar.com

"Card Spring Inverted"
Happy Earth Day!! In honor of nothing, today's image is of a card flourish. It is sometimes called a "card spring", and some call it a "Russian Shuffle." Whatever you call it, it makes a fun sound. I initially lit these paws with a small, hard light from the front, against a white background. Deciding it was not dramatic enough (like, Doug Henning dramatic), I went with a black background and lit from below. What sold me on the bottom lighting were the highlights and shadows on the right hind. It reminded me of the joining of hands in Michelangelo's Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel. While I am making no comparisons, I just liked the pose of the hand. I was of course working in complete darkness. That is because if any ambient light was present, there would be a blurring around the cards. It is the strobe's job to freeze the action without any blur. While that slight blurring can be interesting, I was doing all I could to avoid it in this situation. Because I was working in the dark (and using both hands), I had to once again trigger the camera with a remote in my mouth. Needless to say, it took a few exposures before I ended up here. Once I saw this one on the LCD screen, I dropped the camera and walked away. I was going to put a cool filter on the image in post, but decided it didn't need it. Oh, I decided to flip the image 90 degrees. Just thought it was more interesting. Thanks for springing by!!

On the beach below the resort on Apo Island, right in front of the dive shop, a bunch of children from the village were doing acrobatic back-flips in the sand. When they saw that I was photographing them, they offered to pose.
I showed them I could take mini-movies of their tricks, which drove them absolutely wild. You can see the insanity that resulted by clicking here.
