![]() ![]() The color of the reflector also influences the quality of the light. A reflector with a shiny surface produces bright reflections, while one with a matte surface reflects less light and produces a soft and even light. Reflectors are characterized by reflectivity and color. They work equally well with flash and continuous light sources, sunlight, and artificial light sources. They often take the place of a secondary light source. Reflectors are a great way to use a single light source in multiple ways. By adjusting the reflector’s position, you change the reflection angle and control the lighting effect. This allows you to change the direction of the light onto your subject.įor example, if the light source is on the subject’s left side, you can place a reflector on its right side and achieve illumination from both sides. As a result, when the light hits the reflector, it bounces back at an equal angle. What is a Reflector?Ī reflector is an object with a highly reflective surface. Two simple options for modifying the light in photography are reflectors and diffusers. You have to be able to adjust the intensity, direction, and color of the light to put the amount of light you need in the right place - whether you use natural light, an artificial light source, or a combination of the two. How well you control the light dictates the quality of your photos. You can have a really unique and versatile reflector that you won’t have to pack with you nor feel guilty about leaving behind.Getting the right lighting is essential for both outdoor and indoor photography. So the next time you are in a strange city, and need a little extra light, consider the Shiny Board option. Below are a few shots that the “shiny board” was used on. That means you can throw fill in from greater distances than you normally could with the basic reflector. ![]() The best part is, it’s still more intense than the average fold up silver reflector because of the Mylar’s reflective properties. This will soften/diffuse the light that comes off of the board. By either applying dulling spray or taking the time to painstakingly scratch up the front of the plexiglass. But that’s not all! Not only do we have the optional white fill that we built in, you can also intentionally “distress” the plexiglass. However, that is what I like about it, it’s a quality of light that most people are afraid to use because of it’s unforgiving nature, but I think the results are worth the extra few frames to get that hot spot in just the right area. The “Shiny Board” is a bit tricky to get used to because it does, by design, create hotspots on the subject, as well as create very hard shadows. Emergency Camping Blanket ($4) The key ingredient, found at pretty much any store that has a camping section.Īs you can see there is a significant difference in the intensity and shape of the light between our freshly made Specular Reflector, and the basic fold up silver reflector. You know the saying, if you can’t Duck it… - Scissors ($1.50- $400) Supersharp hair styling shears are preferred, but you can use a $1.50 pair too. What you’ll need : - 24×36″ Poster Frame ($10) These come in all sizes, but you need the ones with plexiglass fronts, easily found at any superstore - Duct Tape ($1.50) Also found at the superstore. There is however a cheap and readily available solution, and that is a camping emergency blanket! So combining the Mylar blanket with a couple of other items I was able to create a remarkable source of light, that is cheap, and versatile. Then I thought about Mylar! Well now rolls of Mylar aren’t super hard to find, but also aren’t readily available in a lot of locations. I first started messing around with mirrors, but they didn’t really do what I wanted, not to mention they are heavy and dangerous if broken. That’s not too hard to accomplish with strobes, but remember, I get lazy. I wanted to create a very hard light (in addition to the sun) to use on my model while on location. I came up with the idea for this reflector through experimentation and just obnoxious luck. Especially when the trip is on my own dime and I don’t have a budget to rent the cool toys I want to have. In my travels, I have to carry a LOT of gear. I call it the High Fashion Specular Reflector or “shiny board” for short. I’ve got a fun little DIY light modifier for you today.

![]() It’s a device that can pick up both a toothpick and a 2-liter bottle full of liquid. ![]() Other Grapplers have been used by bomb squads to add a little extra distance when picking up hazardous explosives or chemical materials. Others can be used to reach down wells or pipes to dislodge items. Some crews even use them to reach deep down into the pit of toilets at campgrounds to retrieve trash. ![]() Grapplers of various sizes are used in alternative ways as their length and strength make it easier for people to pick up something while riding along in a tractor or utility truck. The most popular option is the 33-inch long Grappler, used by the vast majority of individuals who need a litter pick-up tool to remove trash along highways, in yards, at schools, etc. These options range from 2-8 feet long and can be used in a variety of situations. Not only are they longer, but they are also much stronger and have greater grabbing and reaching capabilities. We do offer a number of other standard-length pick-up tools that are longer than any of our competition. And they were so happy with the first one that they ordered 4 more! It was made for one purpose only and for one customer only. Because of its length, it is impossible to pick up anything with one hand in a horizontal position at any angle.Īrchimedes said, “If I had a lever long enough, I could move the earth.” While this is not that lever, it is certainly a long device. A whopping 16 feet long! The photo above shows Jay Theissens holding the Grappler in order to give you the proper scale to understand how long this Grappler really is! It is worth emphasizing that this Grappler is meant to be used only for moving items directly up or down. After consulting with this company to understand exactly what was needed, we set out to produce the world’s longest grabber tool. ![]() However, since these will not be cropping up on the exam then we will not go into too much detail, but if you wish to research the uses of these types of sequences please feel free. These types of lists are formed from using the number of the value to a certain indices, so they will use, etc. For your exam you will not be required to calculate rules for a list which involves jumps of different sizes, e.g.
![]() It also makes clear how hard it is to convert one sort of fame to another. The series, with no small effort, establishes that the niche it depicts consists of very well-known people. This makes “Hype House” very likely an introduction to a class of celebrities for some segment of the audience, though it’s hard to imagine who among the uninitiated will keep going once certain unhappy central facts of “Hype House” become clear. Certainly, unlike A-listers whose star quality has an ineffable effect, this crowd can catalyze action from a quantifiable fan base with every move.īut, unlike Lawrence, Hanks, and their peers, TikTok stars would seem to lack that in-between level of awareness: Many people who have not seen “Don’t Look Up” literally know who Lawrence is, whereas to not follow Petrou is quite possibly to be unaware he exists, or that he is working daily to please his massive viewership. Viewed in a strict mathematical sense, he and his peers could be argued to be as famous as Jennifer Lawrence or Tom Hanks or take-your-pick. (To wit: Petrou is introduced with us with a chyron next to his name indicating that he has 8.1 million followers.) And, while Petrou’s work strikes this viewer as a dog whistle only those deeply attuned to the world of TikTok can hear, it’s fair to note its impact. ![]() They use the house to create content - video clips measured by the attention they elicit. Whereas in the old “Real World” mansion, simply living in an extravagantly emotional way was the job, this reality show features people in an endless work-from-home cycle. The house in question is one shared by TikTok stars, whose work and whose interpersonal conflicts make up the storyline of “Hype House.” These young people reside in a Los Angeles-area mansion that become notorious via New York Times reporting by Taylor Lorenz. “My whole goal with this house in the first place,” states Thomas Petrou, “was, why can’t people who hit millions of other people be as famous as A-list celebrities?” ![]() “ Hype House,” a new reality soap series on Netflix, opens with a very fair question. Incidentally, to illustrate this letter, the Times ran photos of Britten, Shostakovich, Strauss, and Schoenberg - but not Williams.Īn interesting observation and a perfectly valid opinion taken purely in musical terms. By the transformation of grief into art, Williams has created a memorial in music to the six million whose lives ended when those of others were just beginning. The haunting violin solo at the beginning of the film gives voice to the victims whose voices have been silenced by providing them with a musical signature, almost like a leitmotif. Williams's music is neither a threnody nor a requiem, but a meditation on the fate of those who perished in the Holocaust. 24): No one, not even composers like Benjamin Britten, Dmitri Shostakovich, Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg, evoked the Holocaust in music as eloquently as John Williams did in his score for Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" (1993). Regarding Kira Thurman's review of "Time's Echo," by Jeremy Eichler (Sept.

Her book reviews and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, Glamour, O, Real Simple and People. She is a former senior editor at Amazon Publishing and books editor at Self magazine, and earlier in her career worked at both Workman Publishing and Simon & Schuster. She was Glamour’s books editor for six years and was the co-writer and co-host of “Broken Harts,” a narrative nonfiction podcast about two mothers who drove their six children off a cliff in 2018. ![]() Elisabeth is the author of “A Window Opens,” a novel told from the perspective of a lifelong book lover. In his new role, David will oversee and manage the team’s digital and print workflow, as well as take on more assigning, and if we’re lucky, write more reviews for us himself.Įlisabeth Egan, a much-admired fixture in the book world and true literary enthusiast, will be joining the Book Review as a preview editor after filling in for Gal Beckerman who is on book leave. The Book Review would not properly run without David, who is not only a standout previewer, having assigned books on the arts, sports, music, politics, literary criticism and biography to critics ranging from John Adams to Frank Rich to Elaine Blair, but is also an expert critic in his own right. Tina began her career at Simon & Schuster.ĭavid Kelly, who has been with the Book Review since 1985, will take on the new role of managing editor. She also served as the host of a weekly hourlong Sirius show “Off the Books,” devoted to author interviews. She edited all of the magazine’s book coverage, overseeing not just reviews but features and publishing industry news, assigning some of the very first United States coverage of J. Before joining The Times, Tina was the longtime books editor at Entertainment Weekly, where she worked since the magazine’s founding over a quarter-century ago. She added new columns broadened coverage in thrillers, romance and historical fiction mined the Times archives for stories like the deathbed watch of Walt Whitman and “ Oops! Famously Scathing Reviews From The Times’s Archives” unleashed her love of literary maps and has become a welcome regular presence on the Book Review podcast, among other entrepreneurial ventures on the desk. ![]() Tina Jordan, who joined the Book Review as a preview editor in 2018 and fast made her mark, will become the new deputy editor of the Book Review. We are excited to announce new roles for two current editors and a new hire at the Book Review this month. ![]() Personally I have to stew on it a few more days since I just finished the game yesterday. Plus the fact that the history book existed at all. Which implies that Hope's Peak was real in some form, which goes against her claimes earlier that it was all fake. They pointed out that Tsumugi said she failed the same way in the end for doing to good a copy. Which even the game's characters comment on. That's been done many times in fiction, and we never saw his audition video.Ĥ) Which goes back to the question of what was true and what was a lie in the end. Any imperfections could be written off as a side effect of the raising process.ģ) Well the 'kid' could have been a robot disguised as a human. Just find a similar looking person to the one to be 'raised' and then give them the character's personality and memories. So honestly I think it is one of those things you aren't supposed to think to hard about.Īs for the 'ressurection'.it would be easy. It took two games, and then the anime, to even really have an explination as to what the 'most terrible tragic event in human history' even was. It also sounds like she has been a part of 'Dangonropa' from the start (which raises questions there of fairness), if so having one's memories warped that much.she could have slipped into being 'Junko' at the shock that the show was over.Ģ) I was thinking about that as well, but I also would point out that world building was never in the games as a focal point. But it could also be written off as the fact that she was exposed to the flashlights as well. go ahead and counter, agree, (please don't perjury), or simply add more. ![]() It could just be that I'm reading WAY too deep into all of this, but I'd like to hear thoughts on these points. Mistakes made throughout all the plans imply she's not receiving help with this whole thing, especially with access to memory removing lights which she could have used to reset had her initial "all 16 die if no murder" thing failed. Or possibly that the original premise of "send them into space" was truthful, the cosplayer's memories altered, and sent off to be the "mastermind", which may explain her failure to be complete with her plans. For instance, if danganronpa was real, and the world was despairful, and the ultimate hunt is real, and it was simply hunting ultimates to put into a killing game. This opens up a huge realm of possibilities. Theory 2: The Ultimate Cosplayer had their memories altered. This could explain the robotic body change and the "bring them back" perk as well. doesn't that seem odd as a way of cryosleep or whatever it was? Seemed more like the virtual reality helmets we've seen in previous danganronpa installments. The cutscenes with helmets on their heads. Theory 1: It all takes place in a virtual world. I'm not sure of the implications of this at the moment, though. how does one turn an auditioned normal kid into a robot? Like, what? A robot who can be modified by the ultimate inventor?Ī last point: it makes more sense for them to have ultimate abilities then have them stripped to pretend they were "volunteers" in the videos (memories manipulated to make them believe they were) than to have them just given abilities afterwards. Or maybe they intended to place the character personality into virtual reality? What was the wording on them being "brought back".? what would have happened? What could the ultimate cosplayer have done about that? Were they assuming it would all work out, like they did with the initial time limit into pressure to make a kill? Like with conflicting flashback lights? so what was the plan with the effigies? "You can bring somebody back." If the ritual actually finished. ![]() Second off, it seems like the mastermind had plans and backup plans. ![]() how is the world peaceful? Under the assumption danganronpa is all fake, the ultimate animator never existed to do the ultimate hypnosis, so how is the world at peace? Why isn't there strife if ultimates with bad abilities exist, and if just about anybody could instantly become ultimate anything? An army could be raised in a heartbeat! If anybody can gain talents so quickly like that. Could it be that the Ultimate Cosplayer's memories were also altered, and that she was incorrect in a few of her facts? Could she have been lying, manipulated, or both?Ģ. If memories can be manipulated and talents can be given to just about anyone, that brings up a few questions.ġ. Okay, so, we all saw that ending, right? I have a few questions I wish I could ask though.įirst off, memories. ![]() ![]() If you can afford the loss of Rune Weapons while pking, it's worth it.
