Seven Steps to Learning Photography

Being a photographer is a great profession. You travel and have the chance to meet and shoot many people. Your pictures can touch many people and leave an impact. However there are a few small things you should remember when dealing with photography. Just seven points which can help make you a better photographer.

The first point is rather simple, keep a notebook. This way you can keep track of your clients and what supplies and tools you may need. Second, always carry your camera. Frequently, take pictures of everything and anything. You are always learning about photography. Whether it is lighting and shade and perception you are always learning with your camera. This also helps build confidence in your photography. The camera should be an extension of you.

The third pointer is to shoot in different conditions. Always be diverse with what it is you shoot with your camera. Shoot the sunrise or shoot people or activities. Always have a feel for many different visual subjects. Take note in your note book what you have learned.

Always remember to set goals. This is the fourth pointer for photography. Is there something you haven't done yet with your camera? Then shoot it. A certain technique you would want to perfect or learn. This is where you start to publish your work for others to see.

The fifth pointer is to remember to read. A photographer reads about the trade. There are many books on the subject of photography. Always have a new book to read so you can always be ready to learn something new. Especially with the internet there is lots of information available at your fingertips. News about new cameras and photograph technology is always available.

Number six is to ask questions. No one is perfect. Travel around, find other photographers and then ask questions. Examine other artist's work and see what others may do with their work and compare it with your own.

The final pointer to always remember is to change your perspective. Don't just shoot things from a basic angle or point of view. Common pictures are common in this industry. Always try and maintain a new and evolving style. If you can vary your perspective, you will be able to capture the moment with that feel of a pictures.

In the end always remember no matter how good you are there will always be a better photographer out there so learn from them and prepare to excel!

Rewarding the best performances in the international game of show business

"I liked getting the best villain award. I thought that was funny – Stephen Dorff" No one likes to play the bad guy, and every one wants to be the good guy but that cannot happen every time. Some one has to fill in the shoes of the toughest acts involved in the toughest game in the world which is called Hollywood. There are many talented actors in the world who work till they drop to get to the point where they want to be. Most people who play the part of the bad guy have to shut their own identity away and assume the persona that they have to reflect into the screen of the movie theaters.  This is known as method acting which helps actors assume different identities in the different roles they play. It is the hardest thing to shut your own identity away and become a whole new person who is not you. This is a tough game to master but those who achieve the highest peaks deserve to be commended for their years of hard work they put into their work. The award designers take this fact into consideration when they make a specialized trophy for the deserving candidates who are going to be apprised in the worlds view.

The big question is when you picture a villain in your own mind the image comes of a horrifying demon who would consume any one that comes in their path. This is not far from the truth, because they personify the worst of human characters like greed, lust, and hunger for power, ego and many other attributes that brings out the worst in us. They are the kind of people who have a negative effect on any one that comes into their proximity.  This is the kind of persona that many successful stereotypes of Hollywood have taken that represent the anti- social elements of society. Molding ones persona into such a negative state can be a hard task at times, which the professionals of Hollywood perform after years of training. This is the kind of amazing effort that deserves to be commended by the world because it is the negative character of the plot builds the whole movie around his character. After all, there can't be a movie without a powerful villain in the mists. These wonderful actors are not really bad in real life, just merely playing the part. The best in the showbiz industry are promoted and brought into the eyes of the public through the Gala Hollywood events. The award design is developed by the best technology and different materials which makes the item very valuable to the one who is at the receiving end.

Dear Santa, this year I would like a videogame

There are many weeks left until Christmas, but those who have a passion for videogames already know what to ask Santa for: in the next few months, indeed, many interesting videogames will be released.

The offer of videogames to be released soon is very wide and varied and will be able to match all tastes: both if you love soccer videogames and if you prefer those games that are focused on Formula 1 and races in general, in the next few months you will be really spoilt for choice, non to speak about the games that have wars and battles as a main subject. The offer will get at its heart in November, so that videogame fans can write their letters to Santa, but we can claim that many interesting videogames have already appeared on the shelves of specialised shops. This is the case, for example, of Forza Motorsport 4, which was released in the States on the 11th of October and in Europe on the 14th. The fans of this game and of this type of driving simulators have already had the possibility to test all the novelties of this new chapter of the series and get to know the 500 cars that are at the players' disposal. And the people who have already played this game seem to be satisfied: Forza Motorsport 4 is at the top of the chart of the best-selling games in the United Kingdom.

But if the fans of this games have already got what they wanted, many other players and fans of other videogames are still waiting. One of the most awaited videogames is Mario Kart 3DS, the 7th chapter of the series, which is supposed to have many novelties, first of all a major personalisation of the karts. Like the precedent episodes, Mario Kart 7 will be animated by some of the traditional characters of the series, like Mario and Luigi. But the category of driving simulators is really fruitful, and another evidence of this is given by Need for Speed: The Run, which will be released in November. The new episode of Need for Speed will be available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Microsoft Windows, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and mobile phones. A game that was already born few weeks ago is F1 20011, the videogame focused on the Formula 1 Championship that has already been positively described by those who have already played it. F1 2011, indeed, has been improved in comparison to the precedent editions and has some novelties: the safety car (just like in a real Formula 1 race), the possibility for up to 16 players to play together (not 12 like in the past), Pirelli tires instead of Bridgestone, a renewed AI of competitors, a bigger realism as far as car damages and tire consumption are concerned, and the red flag for the race suspension.

So, have you already chosen which game you want to ask Santa for Christmas?

Sony Computer Entertainment brings you Resistance Fall of Man, a game all about how the US and England team up together to help defeat this alien band of parasites that come together to take over England. Now, in this game, there are lots of stunning graphics as well as scenes of the dangerous and out of this world looking Chimera, some scary alien type parasitic peoples that will try and kill you. Their forces are in Russia and they are planning to breed multitudes and come after you, so you must use skill and cunning and some major action sequences to defeat them once and for all.

2K Games brings you Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, a game where you can choose between sixteen different worlds such as America or China or Germany or Russia or England and you can colonize them. First you create a special team like an army and then you get on a ship just like they did in days of yore and then you defeat your enemies as you plan to take over the entire civilization. And you build your world and have a chance for adventure and quests as you head for world domination while you build the world that you would like to see ruled by you in the way that you would like it to exist. This game is great for people who love history because you get to go back and change it or repeat it and then enjoy the results.

Another game is by Sega of America Inc who brings you Thor the God of Thunder, a game that is all about the god Thor who tries to defeat the Norse gods as he uses his mythical strengths and skills to do it. If you enjoy myths and the ancient culture of the gods and goddesses and if you liked the motion picture basded on the comic, then you might really take heart with this game because it has all kinds of action sequences and effects and aspects you might really love.

Two other games are Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and also Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, both of which are action packed games that you might really enjoy if you like to pick your own characters and get them custom set up for your own combat. The fact that you can pick your own characters shows that you have a very personal kind of connection and influence on the fame and it will feel more real when you win or lose. Both games use lots of fight sequences and themes that center around fighting and violence and adventure so maybe this is the game for you.

Lastly, Gundam Crossfire is ny Namco and it is all about war in the future where high tech type lasers and other devices are used to command and fight down various things so that you can attack and halt and gather and dash and do a number of other things while you fight the Zeon forces and at the same time update and customize yourself.

Peter Frampton reviewed by Dwight Hobbes

Peter Frampton

Dwight Hobbes/TC Daily Planet

If Sept. 30th's concert at Minneapolis's State Theatre is any indication, '70s superstar Peter Frampton's still got it. He had it when he played at the same venue as part of the 1997 incarnation of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band. Swinging through the Twin Cities on his Frampton Comes Alive! 35 Tour, the historic rock idol clearly hasn't been sitting around gathering dust all these years and, indeed, plays better than ever before—cleaner, subtler and with startling imagination. He scarcely played a predictable note all night and did it with passion.

Back when his career-defining album hit LP (weren't no CDs in them days, barely even cassettes), Frampton Comes Alive! charted an incredible 97 weeks. After coasting on that success, he summarily subsided into has-been oblivion, eventually returning with 2006's Grammy-award winning instrumental album Fingerprints. Last year, he released Thank You Mr. Churchill and, if his re-emergence can't be called a huge comeback, Peter Frampton—moving discs, drawing howling crowds—certainly is doing one hell of a good job of hanging on.

Frampton dedicated the first half of his three-hour set to excellently performing the Frampton Comes Alive! album, delighting a not-quite sold out crowd to delirium. A nice touch was his humorously self-deprecating banter between numbers. An annoyance was his encouraging sing-alongs for "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do"—over-a-thousand voices, only about 3 of them on key, mangling a melody you'd much rather hear the star sing. The other shortcoming was his half-assed vocal on what otherwise would've been a fine cover of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." 

You had to wonder what he was going to follow with after the intermission. It turned out to be a killer finish, including beautiful instrumentals, a visitation of material from his old band Humble Pie's "Four Day Creep." He also did "Shine On" in the first half and a gorgeous encore, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that gave up absolutely nothing to Eric Clapton's eternally lauded guitar solo on The Beatles (that's the actual title of the famous The White Album). Frampton is never going to make Jeff Beck nervous, but he inarguably acquits himself as a master musician.

The screen behind Frampton and his band at the beginning of the show was a little odd, which displayed images from his heyday. It gave the impression this was principally going to be a night of the rock star reliving his baby-faced, golden-locked glory. Glancing back and forth from the montage to the spry old geezer up on-stage after awhile, well, it just got weird. After about a half-hour, though, the backdrop changed to a vintage, acid-worthy light show, making it a lot easier to just sit there and enjoy Peter Frampton playing his ass off. Which he did all the way up until he sent everyone home with an experience to well remember him by.
