Generation Gap’
I’ve entitled this image ‘Generation Gap’ as there is a spacial separation between the young people on the left and the more senior couple on the right hand side. This shot is another one taken in Cavill Mall.
I know, there is some over-exposure of the image - it was a very hard light - I could have reduced that when doing the RAW file conversion but I left it exposed to the right to convey the feeling of the dazzling southern hemisphere sun.Just a stone’s throw away is Surfers Paradise Beach but here in the Cavill Mall there are lots of colorful people enjoying leisure time in a wonderful summer playground.
The sky was clear and blue on this day and so a good hard light made for high contrast pictures. It wasn’t all that difficult to do some street photography in this location as it is normal for tourists to be taking photos here. Therefore, cameras are commonplace and people don’t pay much attention to photographers.
I still haven’t posted any seascape or landscape images for a little while now - I’m giving you all a break from those - but I might sneak a couple with in which show a glimpse of the sea a bit later. For those who do like landscapes and seascapes, I will run some more of those series down the track a little.Well, I didn’t expect to come across any more mannequins but was again surprised to see these ones watching the traffic along the Gold Coast Highway. Unlike the previous mannequin shot I posted, at least these are not naked but they are bold to be out of their shop standing in full sun alongside a main road. I think the tall one could do with a bit of lipstick to match that red thing she is wearing and she ought to straighten her sunglasses. The flowers are a nice touch but I’m sorry to see she’s hurt her shoulder.
It’s been about a week since I have been able to do any photo blogging. I had to do some long days at work, a couple of 12 hour shifts and the rest were 9 hours each so I was just too tired to post pictures or visit anyone else’s sites.
I’m still wanting to do some film stuff - these models might have made a good subject - so I did make time to order a ‘Holga’ camera and some rolls of film. I expect it will take about a week or so for them to come through the postal system.Pavilions on 5th is a 125 million dollar development right in the center of Palm Beach on Queensland’s Gold Coast consisting of beachside apartment blocks with retail and dining space below. Its part of urban renewal in the area.
I didn’t get up early today to catch the morning light but the afternoon sun looked pretty good to me glancing on this construction. I used the Photoshop channel mixer for the monochrome conversion of this shot and I subtracted some blue to darken the sky and give a slight infrared appearance to the image.Out on foot again and pointing my camera this way and that ever searching for a special capture. You can’t get photos sitting at home - you have to go walking for street photography.
This alfresco lunch is really an afternoon snack - just look at the shadows on the pavement. However in a seaside town, with the beach just a hundred meters away, life is free and easy and eating can be at any time one feels like doing it.These mannequins were a bit of a surprise! I was walking around the streets in an urban commercial / light industrial area looking for things to point my camera at when this vista came into view.
Ooow, I thought, what am I to do? … I’m looking for captures for my photo blog … this would be quite a departure from my usual staid seascapes and landscapes I reasoned. However, a wicked little voice inside said, ‘go on! get it!’Having posted many seascapes and landscapes in recent times. I wish now to run a series of photos of an urban theme. These shots are of the kind seen when out on foot exploring back streets, industrial areas and commercial precincts.
I really would have liked to have got some of these images on film as some of the subject matter is from the retro era and 35 mm would have been a very apt medium for such scenes. However until I can find a replacement for my aged Pentax SV I will have to be content to do them with my D70 DSLR.
Today’s subject was just something that caught my eye as I strolled along a back street sidewalk. I liked the patina of age portrayed by the deteriorated condition of this side door.I’m finishing this Numinbah Valley series here with a closer view of this conical shaped rock which looks so impressive rising from the valley floor. I hope to do another series from this location at a later date.
By the way, I shot a roll of black and white film down at the beach this morning with a 1960’s vintage Asahi Pentax SV 35 mm SLR camera which belonged to my father. Sadly, it transpired that there was a problem with the shutter. It must have been catching slightly causing very uneven exposure and severe shading across frames. I’d gone to some trouble to repair the clip-on exposure meter too.The light was falling nicely on this paddock and a cloud shadow was darkening the trees behind it, catching my eye and presenting me with a photo opportunity.
As can be seen, there are thousands of gum trees on the steep sides of the Numinbah Valley; only relatively small areas on the valley floor are cleared for pasture.Continuing on with this series of Numinbah Valley landscape postings, here’s a view looking up a hillside on the eastern side of the valley at a couple of the better maintained farmhouses in the area.
By the way, Australia has vast areas of wooded land covered with what are commonly referred to as ‘gum trees’. The leaves when crushed with your fingers give off a strong scent of eucalyptus. There are times when the atmosphere in such areas assumes a bluish haze which is attributed to the presence of eucalyptus vapor in the air.
There are numerous varieties of these trees; iron bark, stringy bark, spotted gum, red gum to name just a few. Australia lays claim to the second tallest tree in the world with a giant swamp gum recently found in the state of Tasmania. It is 101 meters in height - that’s 331 feet! Of course the gum trees in this scene are only midgets by comparison.

Photo Snow Globes
Photo Snow Globes - Make Your Own in 15 Minutes (or Your Money Back!)
The great snow gods have not been kind to us this year. If you’re still pining for wintery white, or just hoping it’d go away, we recommend a quick (and heartfelt) appeal.
Luckily, we have just the thing to melt their frosty disposition: Photojojo’s Make-Your-Own Photo Snow Globes.
Grab a bottle, photo, glitter, and corn syrup and you’re on your way to making an offering not even the gods could refuse.*
Photojojo’s Make-Your-Own Photo Snow Globes
www.photojojo.com/content/diy/photo-snow-globes/
* Rigorous, double-blind studies have also proven Photo Snow Globes effective in melting the hearts of spouses, friends, and children.
Ingredient List
Water Bottle or empty mason jar - Fred works great!
Two photos (or 1 transparency)
Clear packing tape, the wider the better.
Scissors
Goo Gone
Glitter & sparkles
Clear (light) Corn Syrup
Good old-fashioned Water
Step 1: Clean your Bottle
Peel any labels and stickers off your bottle, scraping it gently to remove as much as possible. Apply Goo-Gone with a paper towel and spread it onto any sticky surfaces left on your bottle. Let it sit for a few mins, then rub it off.
You should now be left with a clean bottle. (Later, rinse, and repeat if necessary.)
Step 2: Crop your Photos
Trim your two photos (or your single transparency) to about a half an inch shorter and thinner than your bottle or jar, leaving enough space to let the photo float freely but snug.
Step 3: Waterproof your Photos
If you’re using a transparency, skip this step. Otherwise…
Measure out enough tape to cover both sides of your photos, with a little bit extra for a small border.
Lay down a strip of tape sticky side up and press the first photo face down onto it. Ease it down from top to bottom, pressing gently to remove air bubbles. Use a second piece of tape to cover the rest of your photo if your first piece wasn’t wide enough (overlap a little to prevent water from entering.)
Now turn your photo over and put the second photo down on top of your first photo so they’re back-to-back. As before, use tape to cover the surface of the second photo, making a photo sandwich. Remember that the tape is waterproofing your photos, so don’t leave any areas untaped, watch out for tears, and make sure the edges are tightly closed.
Finally, trim the edges so there’s no more than a quarter of an inch on each side.
Step 4: Plop that Sucker in!
Roll up your photo and put it through the opening at the top of your bottle. Do it quickly so the photo doesn’t stay rolled up for long. It’ll unroll on its own after a while.
Step 5: Activate Photo Snow Globe!
Pour water, corn syrup, and glitter into your bottle. We found that a 50-50 water/corn syrup mixture slows down the falling glitter perfectly. And it kind of tastes like flat Sprite. Without lemon or lime.
Ta-Da! Shake and enjoy.
Make it Extra Special
Use a jar instead of a water bottle.
Use a grater to grind up a white PVC pipe to create plastic snow.
Glue the cap onto your jar to make sure no water comes out when you shake it.
Use a glue gun to draw on the outside of your jar or bottle, then pour glitter onto hot glue for a neat effect.
Use a transparency (try the local copy shop) instead of photos.
Add sequins and buttons to your glitter for variety.

BBC SOUND MODIFICATION FOR SONY VX2000
At our Global-DVC Center many DVC-members are using the Sony VX2000 and PD150 for TV productionwork. For better sound with the VX2000 we always adviced the StudioPro1 mixer box underneath the camera for XLR and or MiniJack use. BUT it is good to see what the high-tech department of BBC has figured out to obtain higher sound-quality for the Sony VX2000:

BBC SOUND MODIFICATION FOR SONY VX2000
At our Global-DVC Center many DVC-members are using the Sony VX2000 and PD150 for TV productionwork. For better sound with the VX2000 we always adviced the StudioPro1 mixer box underneath the camera for XLR and or MiniJack use. BUT it is good to see what the high-tech department of BBC has figured out to obtain higher sound-quality for the Sony VX2000: Notes for Sony VX 2000 Audio Mod. The modification is designed to reduce audio hiss by 12dB. * Phono audio o/p's on camera are converted to audio i/p's - they no longer work as audio o/p's. * To use phono's for audio i/p menu item TAPE SET - MIC LEVEL has to be set to MANUAL. * The mod is designed to be used with a GlenSound GSTN1 mic amp with phono connectors and peak o/p level of approx -30dBu. * For audio o/p the headphone socket or i.Link (FireWire) connector has to be used. NOTE - the level from the headphone socket is controlled by the volume buttons on the flip-out LCD screen. (peak level approx -12dBu) * Dummy plug in the EXT MIC socket is supplied to disable wind filter (low cut). * To use on the board microphone - remove the dummy plug and set MIC LEVEL menu to AUTO. * To use external mic (without using GlenSound box) connect to EXT MIC socket and set MIC LEVEL to AUTO. With the BBC audio mod the VX2000 may well be better than the PD150. It will also cost about the same. PD150 DVCAM has locked audio, which is of little or no practical advantage in the NLE world, and setable time code and user bits, which can be employed as a way of avoiding recapture errors, identifying what camera was used for a given shot, etc., all of which are useful but not indispensable.Glensound will give you superior sound Quality - better than the PD150 or even more expensive camera's - checkout the GSTN1 box at www.glensound.com A new version of the GSTN1 is now available designed to be compatible with the VX2000. When used in conjunction with a modification to the VX2000 (undertaken for a fee by a department of the BBC (contact details on request)) this new GSTN1 offers a superior sound than Sony's professional DVCs. Please quote GSTN1 (VX2000) when ordering.

Folder 4 7 Global Business Communication Tips for working with people from India
Posted by Beverly Cornell
Saturday, July 5, 2008
In a recent blog post I read, there were several tips for communicating with Indians that may be of interest to you. More and more people and companies are doing business in this emerging country and these tips may help you understand the people better and lessen your cultural frustration. If you are interested in any of these subtle communication approaches, please visit Sudesh Oudi’s Blog post.
1. Never accept the word "yes" by itself for an answer - listen to what the person says next as an indicator of what the Indian person really means.
2. There are many ways an Indian can say "no." Are you paying attention?
3. Indians say they are behind schedule in various ways and almost always it is not "I am running late" on this.
4. There are numerous approaches Indians use to say something is possible or they are not available. Including not answering.
5. Indians don’t necessarily ask for help out right. They might refer to someone else or the past to indicate help is required.
6. Indians express negative criticism in very different terms than Americans do, including a loud silence.
7. Ways to encourage more direct communication with Indians may require constant positive feedback when they show more direct behavior.
Ultimately, Indians perceive our directness as rude and will need some time to get comfortable with being more direct. A cultural middleman may help you in certain situations.
Communicating within our culture can be challenging, patience and understanding are essential to creating an open and direct line to ensure your success.

Specifications:12x zoom with 58mm filter. 3 1/3-inch CCD with 2 times better sensitivity , low smear about 1/3, and 2dB in s/N when compared to VX1000, resolution claimed to be 530 lines for NTSC. Using advanced HAD technology there is a 6dB improvement in picture noise under low light. Switchable from interlaced to progressive mode..A 200,000-pixel 2.5-inch /6.35cm LCD monitor is also built in. Also memory stick slot for up to 64Mb memory for still pictures. Audio level could be adjusted during shooting. 12 bit and 16-bit PCM recording modes available.
Accessories:L-series info-lithium batteries can be used .Two new VX2000 SONY HG grade converter lensesalso will be released. 0.7x wide converter will bring lens from 6 to a 4mm wide1.7x tele-converter will zoom up to 120mm from 72
My first day's impression with my new Sony DCR-VX2000 semi-professional camcorder... I wish it wasn’t bright silver...just looks tacky to me. Ergonomically, it’s pretty much identical to the VX1000. I suspect that with a wide angle adapter lens on it and the new external mounted battery, it should balance well. The camera will take the NP-F960 for what Sony claims will give it up to 9 hours of shooting time, without the screen. The 960 is quite a brick but because the batteries fit into a recessed compartment area it only sticks out the back about 3/4 of an inch. The common NP-750 actually sits flush.The handle now has a wavy grip like a pro camera, and that’s nice. With the 2.5 inch screen the handle needs to feel secure because more people will shoot now by holding it from there. The LCD screen is perhaps the sharpest I’ve ever seen, and I believe the screen is the first I’ve seen on a camera that shows focus better than its viewfinder, I kid you not! Of course I wish it was bigger. I miss the direction arrows from the VX1000 that tell you which way to turn the lens to focus, which was dropped from this model. I always felt that was an intelligent thing to have with an unmarked lens. Manual focus was about as swift as theVX1000, possibly a bit faster, and auto focus, for the short period I used it, seemed better than the 1000’s, possibly because of the quick light response of the 1/3" HAD chips.Low light shooting was very impressive. I shot some tape which Sony then played back on a WEGA TV they had set up (no pro monitor...as this was a consumer showcase). The dark weave of a Sony rep’s suit reproduced very well, with very little color noise or aliasing. I must say that this camera seems to handle a wider range of light levels and white balance anomalies than I expected. Blacks and details in the shadows did not crush easily...by the time I found something the camera wouldn’t reproduce, I realized I couldn’t see that part of the carpet with my own eyes anyway. I took it outside and shot a section of the walkway, with half in bright sun and half in shadow, and was able to clearly discern detail in the sidewalk on both sides upon playback. There are now two levels of neutral density filter. And the aspherical glass lens is very, very sharp and gives a nice flat edge to edge image.Of course, I welcomed the return of the manual zoom. It’s the skinny ring closest to you as you shoot. However, it is a servo controlled thing and therefore there is a little lag time, which bugged me. Also, I don’t believe there are any marks on it to tell you where you are in the range of wide to telephoto. A small raised tab would have been, uh... nice. The rocker for the zoom switch has almost no slop in it, and is more predictable than the VX1000’s. A good slow speed, but I believe the Canon GL1’s may be a tiny bit slower.Somebody intelligent must have insisted that the menu, manual mode settings, white balance, shutter speed, and audio controls be mounted on the back of the camera, and steered Sony away from the tom-foolery that infected the TRV900 / PD100A, where they hid many of these vital functions behind the LCD and in the menu. It’s lovely to push the audio level button and instantly control the level, and see a VU meter running across the bottom of your display (even if it is only a single meter averaging (?) the right and left channels...I don’t know how accurate this can be, but it’s helpful). And while I’m streaming about audio, let me commend Sony for beefing up the mini mic jack to a healthy looking stainless steel component that may not have to be replaced as often as my old plastic one was. AND the inclusion of a line/mic attenuator switch next to it, to allow us to run something live out of a mixing board. Thank you very much.The new on-camera mic is now a two capsule, instead of the VX1000’s four. I have no response to this either way...I’ll have to hear it. As I neglected to bring my headphones, and Sony wasn’t playing back audio through the TV, I missed out on one of our biggest concerns about the camera. The TRV900/PD100A is notorious foran abysmal pre amp. Background noise, or hiss was a problem that kept me and many others from buying that camera...if I get my hands on one of these again I will definitely check this out. By the way, the 2000 will now do 16 bit audio on two tracks, or 12 bit on two and leave you two free for audio dub.There is an intelligent shoe for compatible Sony accessories, like their intelligent shotgun (that’s one for the NRA, isn’t it?) mic that zooms audio with your video. The camera captures stills onto tape or Sony’s memory stick at a 640x480 resolution. It WILL shoot in progressive scan, however, I don’t believe this will be the camera of choice for web production. Unlike the Canon GL1, who’s progressive scan is actually smooth enough that some people shoot with it for web video, this camera’s progressive scan mode appears to be more of a convenience to grab a non-interlaced still. (I believe it shoots progressive at 15 frames per second).Shooting 16/9, available in the menu, seems very sharp, although it is of course not a separate chip set but an electronic conversion. There was no monitor available to check the output, but I loved how it looked on the LCD. Unlike Canon’s, Sony’s 16/9 is displayed unsquished, in letterbox, which is much more realistic for composing your shot. Because the lens is now 58mm, your old Sony wide angle adapter will not fit it...they will have a new wide and teleconversion lens to fit. The camera will convert analog video and audio to DV output through its IEEE1394 jack on the fly (you don’t have to record it first or put the camera into record), which is great. The VX2000 will also come with a memory stick reader with a USB jack to download images to a computer, and it can also upload images onto the memory stick media. Inside the LCD screen compartment are the controls for a 20 shot assemble editor, two levels of zebra stripes, and the obligatory digital and picture cheeze effects that Sony insists on foisting onto the world. Does anybody actually use these things?This camera will come out of Sony listing for about $3000, which probably means that we’ll eventually see it on the street for something like $2600. I have to say, I dug it muchly. Would I give up my GL1 for it? Yes, I think so. But it’s gotten to the point where I wish I had a gun rack with half a dozen DV cameras on it, ready to go, because each one is perfect for a different shooting situation. But yes, barring any potential audio problems, which one should not yet assume its free of, consider this unit Approved.
It was Hissterical! SONY Japan built us a new Year 2000 Supercam which was directly placed on many charts as Number One! Picture Quality specially in Low Light situations has never been as good before. BUT recording Sound was not good. If one used AGC Automatic Gain Control with an extra mic on manual level a strong Hiss was heared. We tested several VX2000 ( and PD150) cams and heard a very present Hiss on both new models! After world wide tests and claims, for the first time Sony admitted this problem ONLY for pro version PD150. In the US first models sold could get a Sound Update on request, but had to pay extra for that. In Europe Sony was more generous and did the Sound update for free. For VX2000 they did not do anything. First seriemodels did have sound problems too! We tested it and AGCoff was NOT Hissfree!

You applied a drop shadow to an object on one layer, and later you applied a bevel on another layer but in the Bevel and Emboss dialog box, you notice that the position of your drop shadow just moved as well. This occur because Photoshop uses a feature called global light which might intended to help users to avoid doing the error in drawing light behavior. I surely will asked to somebody if I saw an image which have many shadows and casts to various directions. It’s like a silly failure.
It’s a great idea since all you need to do is move one shadow and all the other shadows on other layers would move to the exact same angle. But sometimes you don’t want to use this feature because you want to set the angle of your certain layer separately from the rest of your image. No worry, all you need to do is uncheck the Use Global Light box in the Layer style dialog box. It’s all done.

25 Easy Tips to Decrease Global Warming This Winter
Whether we like it or not, winter is upon us, especially in the Midwest. Along with the winter breezes and snow, higher electricity bills will inflate conjointly with hazardous Co2. Before autumn ends
and winter begins, it is time to turn "Green" and turn your house into an eco-friendly environment. 1. Purchase draft protectors for doors and windows. There are many different types of winter protection such as long cotton looking snakes that are filled with snakes or beans. You place these cotton snakes in front of your door or window to prevent the winter chill from coming into your house. Some eco-friendly people also like to place blankets over windows that are not in use to save heat from going out. 2. Purchase a water heater blanket. These are insulated heater blankets that now come in eco-friendly materials that are placed over your water heater to keep it from getting too cold. The blanket will keep the water heater from having to turn on frequently to reheat the water inside. 3. Place a blanket or winter protector plastic sheet over all animal flaps to the yard. These flaps are usually on your back door to allow your animal to access the backyard when you are at work or at play. 4. Cold proof your mailbox flap if it goes into your house. We have a 70 year old house with a mailbox drop box that drops mail from the outside wall to indoors. Air comes in though so it is wise if you place a thick piece of 100% cotton over the flap to assure no cold air goes out. 5. Stuff your freezers - the more the food in the freezer the longer it stays cold. If you purchase things in bulk, you are doing two good duties at once. 6. Change your current light bulbs to energy saving light bulbs. These can be purchased almost anywhere today and are usually cheaper than the traditional light bulbs. 7. Take showers instead of baths. Baths take up too much hot water and electricity. 8. Try to stay away from that car. If you have to drive to work, try to carpool. Or resort to public transportation if it is available in your area.
