Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
C.B. VisionsPublished about a month ago in PhotographyUsing a Continuous Light for Photography
Studio photography is something that I struggled with for the first part of my career. It can be difficult to learn how to shape lights when you don't have access to them or to the spaces to use them, but one of the things that I've found over the years of working as a photographer is that this problem can be simplified when you realise that you can achieve a lot with just one light. Further, using continuous lights, as we will do in this shoot, can be a great way to get to grips with shaping lighting in a way that feels more natural and much easier than using strobes.

I'm in the center of the geographical region in Uruguay attempting to locate this. A woodland fashioned like a fingerprint. We're right here due to the fact of a screenshot of Google Earth that someone posted to Reddit. In 2022, a Reddit consumer named tarek619 determined “strange DNA-like forests spanning some 30 kilometers in Uruguay.” I regarded at the forest. I wasn't completely positive what was once “DNA-like” about it, however it used to be strange. And then I zoomed out. And noticed that it was once simply phase of a total array of forests, all in spell binding designs. Then I zoomed out more. Forests like this included the complete country. But I could not cease searching at this one. It seemed like a fingerprint. From Street View, I should simply barely make out what it was: Long rows of equal trees. If I desired to see inner one of these forests, I would have to go see it for myself. So I went. And observed some thing tons extra complicated than I expected. But it all commenced with one question: Why did this wooded area seem to be like a fingerprint? Before I left, I commenced with some distinctly superior lookup methods. And I started out reading. According to a Uruguayan authorities report, about 1 million of Uruguay's 17 million hectares of land are included with pine and eucalyptus plantations. Tree farms. Artificial forests. That's why they had been planted in these rows of same trees. Reading more, I discovered that the majority of these bushes are became into pulp. Not pulp like orange juice, pulp like timber pulp: Soft, wet, chemically-separated cellulose that turns into the fundamental ingredient in making paper products: Printing paper, paper towels, loo paper, napkins, anything. And in accordance to the very first end result on Google search, these forests had been a “miracle.” On a continent devastated through deforestation, Uruguay used to be one of the few international locations the place wooded area cowl had truly expanded. It sounded like a huge accomplishment. These strikingly organized forests seemed to be section of some nationwide project. If it simply was once a miracle, I had to see it. After three flights, to Miami and then to Lima, I have sooner or later made it to Montevideo. I am sitting in visitors proper now, ready to pick out up Faustina Bartaburu. Hey, how's it going? She's a journalist based totally right here in Montevideo. I'll be there in like five minutes. Between discovering the forests on Google Earth and coming here, I'd related with her to assist us locate professionals in Uruguay. Experts who ought to assist us analyze greater about the forests. Starting with a consultant from the forestry industry. That's “afforestation.” Not reforestation, the place timber are restored to a depleted forest, however the place timber are planted in a region the place no timber existed before. Just forty years ago, these forests weren't right here at all. In 1987, the Uruguayan authorities exceeded a regulation that included the country's native forests, however additionally declared a “national interest” in growing new “forestry resources,” “forestry industries,” and a “forestry economy.” The regulation set the stage for a increase for the forestry industry. All over the country, the transformation was once dramatic. Today, Uruguay has extra plantation woodland cowl than native woodland cover, and the country's timber pulp enterprise employs hundreds of people. Wood pulp has come to be Uruguay's second-biggest export, totaling over $2 billion in 2023, and it is on the verge of turning into the biggest.

"Just Another Day" at Theater 555 was written by Dan Lauria and directed by off Broadway guru, Eric Krebs. The play begins with projections of old stars of yesteryear to the song "No Strings Attached". When the two actors take the stage, Dan Lauria and Patty McCormack seem confused... at-least Dan (Man) does. McCormack (Woman) seems refined in her salmon colored sun dress. Often appalled at Lauria's language, she seems distant to his behavior.
