Ho già scritto in vari post ( qui , qui e qui ) di fotografia di food, soprattutto in relazione all’uso della luce. Ma con questo post voglio proprio partire dalle basi, cioè dai fattori indispensabili per produrre una immagine di food che, anche se non professionale, riesca a trasmettere la bontà del piatto che avete preparato. 1. Usate una macchina fotografica reflex Fregatevene di quello che dicono le varie pubblicità, recensioni di riviste, negozianti, conoscenti, eccetera. Anche

The flames from the silencer of the car burst out, as if the car would fly. The bright red spoiler adds to the glamour of the car.

I’ve talked about a coming tech boom that could be related to wireless electricity. Nobody really knows exactly when that will happen except that it could be 5-10 years away. Well, it could be even sooner that that. Much sooner. Read more here: Electronics such as phones and laptops may start shedding their power cords within a year. That’s the prediction of Eric Giler, CEO of WiTricity, a company that’s able to power light bulbs using wireless electricity that travels several feet fr

What is electricity? It is something that defines a lot of different effects and usually there are just two terms in particular. These are electric charge and electric current. The term charge is a way to define the properties of specific subatomic particles. Atoms can actually be composed of neutrons, protons, and even electrons, and protons and electrons are able to carry a charge, while protons are positive energy. Usually it’s balanced, but there is a chance that there will be too many or ev

Saturday science subject: Electron-stimulated luminscence – The Tech Report No matter how you look at it, the days of incandescent light bulbs are numbered. Despite generally being more power efficient, however, replacements have their downsides—compact fluorescents emit cooler light, can take a while to warm up, and are trickier to dispose of when they break, for instance. LED bulbs are also expensive and have thermal limitations. A firm in Seattle, Washington claims to have something of a

Lynn asked: in August of THIS year. Can this turn into a judgement? Can I get sued? The original balance is for $2,345. Someone posted this site (it is for my state, WV) but the ‘legaleze’ did not make sense to me, please help me understand, what the law is in my state. And is it likely that I will get sued??? My credit is otherwise good. I do not own a home nor do I have a fancy new car…I really dont have anything they could take. I am afraid that if I contact them, they will try to

Anyone who has watched the Lion King has listened to the song Circle of Life as they talked about the food chain. Grass is eaten by antelopes who in turn get eaten by lions. When the lions die they decompose and fertilize the grass that the antelopes eat. Each plays their part in the food chain and the transfer of energy along the way. In nature the food chain in this scenario is simple: grass, antelope, lion, grass The economy has its own food chain. An idea is generated and a produ

During September, narcissus and many of the small flowering bulbs, such as snowdrop, crocus, grape hyacinth, and so on, should be planted. If you plan to naturalize daffodils, plant the bulbs in drifts. Make the holes at least 5 inches deep with a grub hoe or spade; then place a bulb in each hole, replace the soil and sod, and tamp it down with your feet. Small bulbs are more easily planted if a light crowbar is used to make the holes. First make all the holes, or all the holes in one section,
