Beauty of High Speed Photography Posted: 12 Nov 2008 06:40 AM CST High speed photography is as much an art as painting a beautiful water-painting. There are many parameters that go into the successful capture of a high-speed photography. Things like equipment, patience, technique, environment all need to be considered. The successfully capture of an event taking place within a split-second depends largely on how quickly the film is exposed to light. Thus, photographers try to get extremely short flash periods, where the shorter the burst of light, the better. Noticed that most high-speed pictures are taken against a background of black? This is precisely why, since the photographer can just leave the camera’s shutter open and the film won’t get exposed in complete darkness. Once the event takes place, the short burst of flash from the camera will cause the event to be the only imprint left on the film. Flash durations can be as fast as 0.00003 seconds. Then how does a photographer take high-speed shots in broad daylight? By relying on extremely fast shutter speeds of their very very expensive cameras. Enough said, hope this allows you to better appreciate these beautiful photographers that probably took lots of time and effort to produce. |

Alizee Poulicek - Miss Belgium 2008 Posted: 12 Nov 2008 06:08 AM CST When Alizee Poulicek was chosen as Miss Belgium 2008, she received the crown with resounding boos from the audience. Yup, it cannot be her lack of good looks that resulted in the dissatisfaction, but the fact that she completely failed the language test of the competition since she could neither speak or understand Dutch, the official language of Belgium. She does speak French and Czech though, if it is any consolation. The behaviour of the audience was noted across Europe, and the Flemish newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws sarcatically put the headline “Miss Belgium doesn’t speak Dutch. Our country is in a deep crisis”. Whatever the case, I’m pretty sure none of you here will even bother about what she says when she comes on the stage. |

Posted: 12 Nov 2008 06:00 AM CST You can achieve a “runners high” by sitting up. The sun is too loud. You are missing several days from this week. Trees begin to chase you. You can see individual air molecules vibrating. You wonder if brewing is *really* a necessary step for the consumption of coffee. You say the same sentence over and over again, not realizing that you’ve said it before. You can hear mimes. Things become “very clear.” Everything is “very clear, indeed.” You ask the drive-thru attendant if you can get your order to go. Your heart beats in 7/8 time. You and reality file for divorce. You say the same sentence over and over again, not realizing that you’ve said it before. It appears that people are speaking to you in binary code. You can travel without moving. Antacid tablets become your sole source of nutrition. You discover the aesthetic beauty of office supplies. You begin to talk to yourself, then disagree about the subject, get into a nasty tiff over it, lose, and refuse to speak to yourself for the next day. |
