Discovering the Beauty of Photography

While on holiday in Tasmania recently I discovered a new hobby I really hadn’t considered before. Photography. I have never owned a camera before but while away I saw some simply inspiring sights and I really had an overpowering urge to photograph them. I found a gallery which featured Tasmanian photography and spent almost a whole day simply absorbed in the photographs. I had visited a couple of well known locations like Russell Falls and Cradle Mountain and just from my limited experience in Tasmania I could recognise the beauty that the photographers had captured in their images. The next stop I made was to a camera store where I splashed out on a new camera. Obviously not having any knowledge I wanted something simple to operate but the sales staff convinced me to get a good camera – if I want to one day take great shots I am going to need a proper camera. Now my trip is over I have signed up for camera tuition. I can’t wait to begin.

The Origin of Free Audiobooks

 latest freebies let you score a free purse-sized lotion at CVS, free ...It was in 1931 that the United States Congress first established a talking-book program. The intention was to help blind adults who couldn’t read. This program was called “Books for the Adult Blind Project.” The American Foundation for the Blind developed the first talking books in 1932. In 1935 Congress approved the mailing of free audiobooks to blind citizens and The Books for the Adult Blind Project was in full operation. Little did anyone realise then how important audiobooks would become in the future or how the technology would develop, enabling the ease of free audiobooks to circulate the world. No one would also realise how the need for these audiobooks would cover the globe and would be created in hundreds of different languages. Today, it is not only the blind that make use of audiobooks but many different people from all walks of life of different ages for different reason, for both work and leisure purposes. The fact that they are free is an added bonus as it encourages the use of them and leads to the spreading and sharing of knowledge worldwide.

Bokeh in a Sony 70-400

The Sony 70-400 lens has a lot of positive aspects to it, especially when you are considering it for outdoor photography. Unfortunately, though, bokeh is not a strong area for this lens. Especially when it comes to the long end of the zoom range, at 250 mm and above, the bokeh is very visible. Bokeh is nothing but the out of focus blur caused by the lens when the coverage area of the subject is large and the focus is narrow. You can see examples of severe bokeh in most reviews of this lens where field test results are published. The quality of bokeh is an area of concern for all zoom lenses, and unlike their prime lens counterparts, most zoom lenses score very weak in this area. Bokeh, however is manageable at shorter focal lengths and therefore the lens is still a great lens to have, despite this glaring glitch.

My Potted History of Observing Graffiti

|The first time I came across graffiti art was when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I was sleeping at my brothers flat which was a 5 or 6 storey block with an alleyway directly underneath it. When we walked to the shops we had to walk through this alleyway which had graffiti tags all over it. On one side it extended to the fence of someones back garden. I wondered how they did that because when I used a paintbrush in school on A3 paper it looked nothing like what I saw. I just assumed a talented artist had been paid to paint these numbers and letters on the walls. Once I got older I noticed more graffiti tags in the parks and on some fences, this is probably around the time graffiti cans were becoming popular, I started to have a negative opinion on these tags because it looked disgusting and I started to hate graffiti cans plus you couldn’t even read what it was meant to be yet some of the tags looked pretty impressive even though they couldn’t rub mistakes out. It wasn’t until the mysterious Banksy exploded out on the scene, with his impressive work using graffiti cans, that I realised this can actually be quite a beautiful art form if it’s in the right place i.e not on fences. Around this time graffiti artists sprayed over the tags and painted a picture of the youth years on the park wall, the same was done in the alleyway. Yet after a while people tagged over these new pictures. Another graffiti artist like Banksy said he always used graffiti to express his emotions and his opinions, maybe these teenagers of today are doing the same thing when they tag but we don’t see it from their point of view.

Best Birthday Ever

My last birthday was a blast. I received text messages from my friends and greetings from people on both Facebook and Twitter. On that very day, I also received a gift from my best friend. My best friend is one of the most thoughtful people I know. And one of the few people who really and truly knows me well. She knows me from the tip of my toes up to the strands of hair.

I had no idea what the gift was all about. I was just so happy with her presence as we rarely get to see each other nowadays. And I couldn’t hide the fact that I was so excited to open the gift.

When I opened it, it was a music CD with our favorite songs. Songs, that remind us of our friendship and that we both love music. I was so touched. I couldn’t help but cry. We’ve been through a lot and music has been a big part of our friendship.On that day, we were just in my room listening to the music. It was the best birthday ever!
