When it comes to portrait photography, there are two very important things you need to remember about taking a portrait. There’s a subject and the setup.
Let’s talk about the setup first.
When it comes to lighting, you should use it to accentuate the subject. You should use soft lighting – that means a bare halogen bulb pointing straight at someone’s face is a bad idea. Instead, use window lighting or a softbox. Harsh lighting can create shadows that make your pictures turn out quite poorly, so do spend a little time making sure the lighting is setup well.
When you take pictures, shot from eye level or above. How many great photos have you seen that have been taken from below? Probably very few or none. That’s because nobody looks good when the photographer is shooting from an upward angle. It makes the person’s head look tiny and in general looks awful.
If all else fails, then don’t be afraid to use the portrait setting on your digital camera. For many pictures it will be good enough.

As someone who has been playing paintball for a few years, I’ve seen my fair share of markers in my day, and used most of the top guns on the field. Lately there’s been a competitor who has been giving manufacturers like Tippmann a run for their money. Of course I’m talking about Angel paintball guns. But are they worth the higher price. First, Angel makes some amazing markers. They’re clearly high end and will give you an edge, no one can argue that. Ask yourself how important it is that the next time you go out on the field you’re using the best gear you can find. If that’s what you’re after, you can’t do better than an Angel in my opinion.

This question is far more complicated than most policy makers and analysts typically realize. To adequately address the question, you must evaluate the fiscal impact of the film tax credits and the a economic impact of the expenditures and job creation that they generate. Other important questions include are there other alternative public policy initiatives that might be more cost-effective in creating jobs than film tax credits or are there other incentives that might more cost effectively create a business climate that attracts film production.
These questions must be weighed against each other to evalute the competitiveness of various states in attracting film production and the effectiveness of the public policy question asking whether film tax credits are cost-effective.

Is it written somewhere in some great and ancient annals that in order for one to have an adventure, there must be peril, loss of life or limb, and a trip to some exotic land? Well, maybe that is right, but I am personal proof that you can have an adventure right in your own living room! For example, I discovered myself being quite bored in my apartment last weekend and I was just vegging out. All of a sudden, Christine, my next door neighbor, throws open my door and screams that a famous guitar buyer was downstairs and giving away a free guitar! Needless to say, that little adventure led to Christine and I getting married 2 weeks later!
