Startrail photography 10mm5/8/2023 ![]() One last thing to check – make sure there are no sprinklers set to run while you are out there. You’ve got the camera settings set, you’re location picked out and your shot framed. But be sure to bump your ISO back down – the lower you can get it, the better. ![]() If it’s too dark outside to see your framing, up the ISO on your camera as high as it will go so you can do a shorter shutter speed to snap a photo until you get the framing you desire. Once you’ve found your spot, you’ll need to frame your shot. I use The Photographer’s Ephemeris app ($8.99 USD) on my iPhone, which is a very handy app for night photographing. You’ll also need to pick a time when the night will be at its darkest and when the moon won’t be making its way through your framed shot. I think photos work better when they have something terrestrial in them – a photo of just the stars doesn’t help put the beauty of the heavens and the earth into perspective. You want to get away from city lights if possible, as you will see more of the stars and have less light pollution. One of the trickiest parts will be selecting your location. Photo Quality: I prefer RAW, but you could go straight JPG.Here are the settings I used for my photo: So you’ll want to maximize everything you can to have a 30-second exposure capture enough light to make it worthwhile. With the end product in mind, you’ll essentially capture as many 30-second photos as you can and later combine them together to create the star trails. iPhone (because it can get pretty boring with nothing to do).The Photographer’s Ephemeris App for iOS.A sturdy tripod (Manfrotto is what I use).I hope I made sense in explaining that, but I found it to be a pretty neat celestial capture (if I do say so myself).īefore even heading out to the location of your choice, you’ll need a few things. The point in the middle of these curves would be the equatorial line. On the right, you’ll notice they curve to the top and right edges of the photo. If you look at the star trails on the left side of the photo, you’ll notice they curve to the left and bottom of the photo and become more noticeable the further you get to the outskirts of the photo. While this was a pretty amazing outcome for my first attempt at this technique, and I thought I would share with others the steps I took to create it so that you can, too.īut first, I want to point out something in the photo that I think is really cool, and was only possible to capture to this degree using a wide-angle lens (10-22mm). Here’s the final outcome from my hour-long, 120-photo adventure. ![]() So I did some online photography research before heading up to the lake, and once the moon moved behind the cabin (roughly 12:30 am), I set up my gear and a camping chair and went to work – at least until the sprinklers came on one hour later. The lights from the cabin would have become washed out with a 10-15 minutes exposure, and I wanted to go a lot longer than that. But while vacationing at a family cabin along the shores of Bear Lake, I had to take a different approach. ![]() Up until now, I always took one long exposure photo to capture the nightly movement in the heavens, and it’s worked well for me on previous occasions (Arches National Park). I’ve always been amazed with photos of star trails, more specifically circumpolar ones. ![]()

Philips somneo vs smartsleep5/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, a problem lies within one of SmartSleep's more innovative features- the integrated speakers. Philips doesn't state that the SmartSleep can be used only when users sleep on their back, and this isn't entirely untrue. Sure, it resembles a headband, but it isn't nearly as inconspicuous as that term might suggest. The SmartSleep is advertised as a "deep sleep enhancing wearable headband" but to call it a headband seems indescriptive. While many wearable sleep trackers are also worn on the user's head, I've always found this unpleasant. What did surprise me, however, was how unimpressive the SmartSleep's design was. I was initially unaware that Philips had a line of sleep tech but considering their status as one of the technology industry's giants, I shouldn't have been surprised. The Final Verdict on the Philips SmartSleep.A Compelling Alternative - Philips SmartSleep vs Dreem.What Can You Expect From Philips SmartSleep?.Still want to browse some other options? See our article where we outline the best light therapy alarm clocks to buy today. ![]() If relaxing before bed and charging a phone is a necessity for you, invest in the Somneo, otherwise, the HF3520 can save you some money. ![]() The HF3520 similarly has a wind-down option, but not any USB or auxiliary ports. However, the HF3520 has a lower price with many similar options, like five alarms with solid audio quality, and the same gradual light brightening and fading. Unlike the HF3520, the Somneo offers the breathing exercises, USB phone charging port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Philips HF3520 Wake-Up LightĬompared to its cheaper sibling, the Philips HF3520 Wake-Up Light, the Philips Somneo’s extra features set it apart. While pricey, the Somneo really boasts all the bells and whistles you may want or need. We especially liked the radio preset feature as well as the auxiliary option for phone playback - an extra option nearly all other light therapy clocks lack. However, you get what you pay for: great audio quality, gradual, subtle light changes, and more alarm options than most clocks on the market. Once you become familiarized with it, though, it’s simple to maneuver.Īt $199.99, the Somneo is priced on the high-end for light therapy alarm clocks. There is a volume section under the FM radio where you can easily increase or decrease it, though it was confusing to find at first. We couldn’t flip back and forth between the options, but rather cycled through the other stations before coming back to the original. The user can preset five radio stations, and can easily control swapping between them. Lifewire / Jordan Provost Radio: An extra convenienceīecause the audio is superb, we thoroughly tested the radio feature. It offers seven different audio options for the alarm itself, ranging from birdsong to soft gongs, but not your own phone’s tunes. ![]() The Somneo ended up waking us up naturally a few minutes before the audio alarm sounded. The light didn’t pop on, but gradually brightened. You can read from it, but it’s just not an optimal bedside light.Īs we discovered the next morning, the same gradual light changes are available for the morning alarm. There are 25 brightness levels, but we noticed that while the Somneo is a great nightlight, the high brightness wasn’t quite good enough to be a lamp. If you want the light to stay on, you can use it in lamp mode to let it double as a night light or a bedside lamp. This feature also comes into play during breathing exercises, as it brightens as you breathe in and fades as you breathe out. We like that the lights don’t suddenly switch off at the beginning and end - every light-related feature with the Somneo gradually fades and brightens. Simply tap the wind down button, and then tap the sunset option, and the light slowly diminishes from a bright yellow hue, morphing to oranges and reds before it completely turns off. The unique feature about the Philips Somneo is that it offers a “wind down” feature, which includes both a sunset simulation and breathing exercises. The Philips Somneo is a top-tier product in the light therapy alarm clock market. ![]()

Symantec vip access sdk5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The Yubikey can implement multiple schemes. In addition to NFC, the device has a dongle for USB-A connectivity so it can double as an authenticator on laptop and desktop computers, and Yubico says that it's crush resistant and waterproof. The NEO does not require a battery to function, nor does it need network connectivity, and Yubico says that it is "four times faster" than typing a traditional one-time passcode. It has been possible for developers to integrate with YubiKey NEO since iOS 11 launched in September, but the debut of the SDK should lead to wider adoption since it will be far easier for developers to introduce support for the device's NFC abilities. ![]() Once set up with a LastPass account, the YubiKey NEO generates a one-time password, and when the user gets to the 2FA log-in screen, they simply tap the NEO near the back of the iPhone to authenticate. With the launch of the YubiKit 1.0.0 iOS SDK, the company is allowing developers to add support for the YubiKey NEO into their iOS apps, starting with sole support from LastPass. With the NFC-equipped YubiKey NEO, Android users have been able to authenticate their log-ins with a tap, and this week Yubico announced that ability has launched for iPhone users as well (via The Next Web). ![]() Enter this security code along with your password to add strong authentication to your favorite websites.Yubico is a company that sells the "YubiKey," a small piece of hardware that protects access to computers and online accounts by providing strong two-factor authentication in lieu of receiving a text message code on a smartphone or other 2FA steps. Scan a QR Code at participating organizations such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and more to generate a security code every 30 seconds to securely sign in. You can generate a security code even if you do not have a network or mobile connection. The strong authentication method you use depends on the method implemented by your participating organization. Note: Fingerprint authentication requires that your mobile device is fingerprint capable and that you have registered a fingerprint on the device.

Drawn to life mayor5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Though he's clearly on the road to recovery by the end, having even forgiven the man who accidentally killed his parents, it's no less painful seeing what Mike has to go through. Mike is clearly depressed underneath his happy exterior, blames himself for the accident and for the ripple it had on Belleview's community, and can't help himself from shutting himself out from and occasionally lashing out at his own sister. Two Realms is Lighter and Softer than its predecessor by margins, but even in retconning the darker aspects of the previous ending, the story takes place entirely around and doesn't shy away from the traumatic impact this has had on Mike and Heather. ![]() The art in the changed ending also looks similar to the Scribblenaut's official game artwork. Instead Mike falls from a tree trying to catch fireflies so Heather's face is shown as just fine and uninjured. 5th Cell themselves even thought the ending to the sequel was too depressing, and actually went as far to change the ending to The Next Chapter in the Compilation Rerelease into something much gentler than the ending described above.All this is shown during a very sad song.The questions were asked by a police officer, interviewing Heather of the events leading to the crash, your sketch is Heather's sketch of what happened, and Heather's gibberish finally comes through to Mike as he wakes up - it's a prayer for Mike to wake from his coma. The game starts by having you answer three questions and sketching a picture (introducing you to the drawing mechanic of the game), but you have little idea what the significance is, and Heather makes an appearance speaking in gibberish.Not only that, but in the end credits, you see that Mike's parents died in the car crash that sent him into a coma and his sister was horrifically injured. And now this game, the loss of color in the world is symbolic of, what else, death. The spreading darkness in the first game? Symbolic of Death. All of Wilfre's schemes, in all 3 games? They were meant to perpetuate the existence of the dream world. Then you get into actually interpreting what everything that happened in the series actually meant. Now this in of itself is somewhat heart-rending. When he finally wakes up because of your efforts, all of the Raposa vanish while Mike, the in-universe one, is watching, and asking why it is all happening in a panic. The Next Chapter on DS reveals the entire world of Raposa has been a dream of the kid Mike, in the real world, in a life-threatening coma. ![]() Even more so when he later finds out she's Not Brainwashed. And since she's an opera singer, her last song is conveyed through an actual song.

Affinity photo vs lightroom5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() They give the software the maximum amount of information to work with. Most of you will be aware that the best file format for using in Photoshop, once you’ve converted it from Raw, is a 16 bit TIFF or PSD. Lightroom Classic saves you hard drive space The screenshot below shows how I’ve used Collections to organize photos to upload to Instagram.Ģ. Lightroom Classic does this better than any other application. Collections allow you to organize your photos in the way that suits you best. ![]() Photos organized by client or job (for professional photographers).Photos organized into themes and projects.Photos to post to Instagram and other websites.But you can add them to as many Lightroom Classic Collections as you want. You can only save those photos in one folder. It does this using Collections and Collection Sets – virtual folders that can be set up any way you like.įor example, let’s say you go outside today and make some black and white photos. But Lightroom Classic opens far more possibilities for organizing and categorizing your images. You still need a sensible folder structure for saving photos. That’s one of the reasons why Adobe created Lightroom Classic and why it’s become so popular. ![]() It’s up to the photographer to organize his photos by using a well thought out folder structure. One of Photoshop’s weaknesses it that it doesn’t have any tools for organizing your photos (although Adobe Bridge helps). It was the number one option and most of the other applications we can use now didn’t exist then. Most photographers used Photoshop to develop their black and white photo photos. You can use Lightroom Classic to organize your black and white photos as well as develop themĬast your mind back to the days before Lightroom Classic. Now let’s look at some of the reasons why Lightroom Classic is so good for black and white photography. Next month I’m going to publish a follow up tutorial that looks at the best alternatives for black and white photographers. If you’re not a Lightroom Classic user then I haven’t forgotten you. Or Lightroom 6 if you haven’t upgraded to Lightroom Classic yet, the reasons still apply. Then use other applications and plugins to supplement that.Īnd the application that I recommend you use to develop your black and white photos? That’s easy – Lightroom Classic. Learn one application in depth so you understand its strengths and weaknesses. My conclusion is this – that the best approach is to keep things simple. That’s partly because it’s my job (I write about them) and partly because of curiosity. I’ve used many applications for black and white photography. Could your photos be missing some kind of edge gained by using an application or plugin you don’t have? What do the pros know that you don’t? Then there’s the fear of missing out factor. With so many companies competing for your attention it can be hard to know which application to use to develop your black and white photos. The list of applications you could use to develop your black and white photos seems to get longer every year.
