Academy Awards & Circles of Light
Hi there---Did you see the Academy Awards?
Nice show....I love the way they have now set a limit on how much a winner can talk.
Last night they still had trouble getting out on time, but they were close. We're glad that
Sandra Bullock won & Jeff Bridges, too. Now we'll have to go see The Hurt Locker--
winner of Best Picture & many other awards. I appreciated the way they dedicated the award
to all who are serving in uniform to keep us safe here and in the war zones far away.
I hope next year The Book of Eli will get some attention. Denzel Washington is always good.
This movie he co-produced. It's a world that is in ruins, and he is protecting one of the few
books left on the planet. Some violence & bad language, but the message is powerful.
Backlight is beautiful, but ever wonder why you get those little circles sometimes?
Well, it goes something like this...an image is created by light, and light is made up
of various wave lengths. Different waves lengths translate into colors. Like you can
see in a prism. Light changes when it passes through different materials.
These big fuzzy round circles are caused by the sun hitting the edge of the glass lens &
bouncing around (refracting). It forms the shape of the aperture, almost a circle, but actually
the flat edges of the shutter opening. Look closely and you can tell it's not a perfect circle
Compare it to the purple one from I created in Photoshop.
PHOTIP: Use your lens shade to prevent the light showing up unexpectedly as little circles
in your pictures. Don't let the light hit your lens directly, unless of course, you want the effect.
Blessings!
P.S. Last chance to see THE BEAUTY & THE BEASTS
