Book YAPN   Yet Another Photographer s Notebook

Download or read book YAPN Yet Another Photographer s Notebook written by Daniel Casper Lohenstein and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceeding systematically and registering data is the starting point to develop techniques and procedures. This book will help you to visualize, calculate exposure in relation to bellows extensions, filter factor and reciprocity and estimate depth of field. It wants to be a compact companion, everywhere, in every occasion. Charts in chronological order provide systematical guidelines. 140 printed forms are waiting for your collected data to be filled in ( e.g. 140 single sheet film negatives or 140 medium format films with 12 exposures on each film). Mastery is not achieved with buying expensive devices or comparing MTF charts. To have routines, training and revision in everyday practise is far more important. Photography is not rocket science. You control perspective, image placement and depth of field on your ground glass. - You define textured shadows and highlights in III and VII and adjust exposure and development to get some contrast. - You know about bellows extension factors and filter factors because making a portrait in 4x5 inch is macro photography and you use an external light meter. Simply add the exposure values in the charts, successively. Did you ever mention to do macro photography with a DX / FX SLR and an incident light meter, e.g. a Sekonic L28c2 or a Gossen Luna-Pro? Why not? It is possible and far more satisfying than 3D matrix metering through the lens. - Large format cameras do not have a depth of field scale. Just read the tables below to make an estimated guess. - But be aware: these charts result from personal experiences: of course there will be no warranty in case of failure. If you want to learn more about theory and techniques of photography there is an interesting bibliography. You will find some of these items in your local library.

Download or read book Yesterday written by Felicia Yap and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this heart-pounding mystery, a woman is found dead—but in a society where only the privileged have memories longer than a day, the chances of solving the crime seem futile. Imagine a world in which classes are divided not by wealth or religion but by how much each group can remember. Monos, the majority, have only one day's worth of memory; elite Duos have two. In this stratified society, where Monos are excluded from holding high office and demanding jobs, Claire and Mark are a rare mixed marriage. Clare is a conscientious Mono housewife, Mark a novelist-turned-politician Duo on the rise. They are a shining example of a new vision of tolerance and equality-until... A beautiful woman is found dead, her body dumped in England's River Cam. The woman is Mark's mistress, and he is the prime suspect in her murder. The detective investigating the case has secrets of his own. So did the victim. And when both the investigator's and the suspect's memories are constantly erased -- how can anyone learn the truth? Told from four different perspectives, that of Mark, Claire, the detective on the case, and the victim -- Felicia Yap's staggeringly inventive debut leads us on a race against an ever-resetting clock to find the killer. With the science-fiction world-building of Philip K. Dick and the twisted ingenuity of Memento, Yesterday is a thriller you'll never forget.

  • ISBN : 6297575053
  • Pages : 318 pages

Download or read book Retrospective written by June Yap and published by Strategic Information and Research Development Centre. This book was released on with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed as an exploratory study of artworks by artists of Singapore and Malaysia, Retrospective attempts to account for contemporary artworks that engage with history. These are artworks that reference past events or narratives, of the nation and its art. Through the examination of a selection of artworks produced between 1990 and 2012, Retrospective is both an attribution and an analysis of a historiographical aesthetic within contemporary art practice. It considers that, by their method and in their assembly, these artworks perform more than a representation of a historical past. Instead, they confront history and its production, laying bare the nature and designs of the historical project via their aesthetic project. Positing an interdisciplinary approach as necessary for understanding the historiographical as aesthetic, Retrospective considers not only historical and aesthetic perspectives, but also the philosophical, by way of ontology, in order to broaden its exposition beyond the convention of historical and contextual interpretation of art. Yet, in associating these artworks with a historiographical aesthetic, this exposition may be regarded as a historiographical exercise in itself, affirming the significance of these artworks for the history of Singapore and Malaysia. In short, which history rarely is, Retrospective is about the art of historicisation and the historicisation of art.

Few Roxwood locals, though, get to reap the rewards of living so close to the glam summer that camp, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents. Goldie's one of them. Even with her "townie" background, Goldie has never felt more at home at camp and now she’s back as a counselor, desperate for summer to start and her best friends, Ava and Imogen, to arrive.

But it’s been ten years since anyone’s seen a vampire, and Ava has lost hope that she’ll ever find one…until she stumbles across a hidden magic show where she witnesses impossible illusions. The magicians may not be the bloodsuckers she’s hunting, but Ava is convinced something supernatural is at play, so she sneaks backstage and catches them in acts they can’t explain.

And to do so, she must put on the performance of her life in a sinister and dangerous competition where illusion and reality blur, and the stakes are deadly.
