![]() ![]() The Golden HourAchieving the perfect lighting for outdoor shots can be a challenge for even the most experienced photographer. In the middle of the day, the harsh overhead sun can cause overly bright highlights and dark shadows. To get the best shot, photographers often wait for the "golden" or "magic" hour—the first and last periods of sunlight during the day. The low sun creates a warm light that is ideal for landscape photos and enhances the colors of a scene. How long does the "golden hour" usually last? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() England's Lincoln Cathedral Is Consecrated (1092)Not long after William the Conqueror named Remigius de Fécamp bishop of what was then the largest diocese in the country, he decided to move the seat of the diocese to a more central location. For the next 20 years, Remigius oversaw construction of a magnificent new cathedral in Lincoln, only to die days before its consecration. Today, its architecture is considered to be priceless. When Queen Eleanor died nearby in 1290, which parts of her body were buried at the cathedral? More... Discuss |
![]() ![]() Howard Carter (1874)An experienced archaeologist and Egyptologist, Carter began searching for the long lost tomb of the ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun in the early 1900s, excavating Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt, through funding by his financial backer, Lord Carnarvon. In 1922, Carnarvon gave Carter one last season to make a discovery. He did, unearthing the pristine, treasure-filled tomb that became world famous.

Hi Patty!
Boy, you sure got around Vegas!
How long were you there?
I love the night shots, and getting the ceiling of Freemont Street is not easy is it?
Did you make the video of her at Hunter college? I'm not clear on the connection. Sorry if I seem dense, but if you didn't make the video, where's the conncetion?
Thank you for pointing me here.
Hope to hear from you again.

Hi Isaac,
I was in Vegas for a week. Yes, I did get around to many of the sights while there.
The Fremont Street light show was really difficult to capture...too crowded to set up the tripod.
I don't know if you watched my Bellagio Fountains video but that was done using a small tripod sitting atop one of the speakers. You were referenced in my answer to one of the comments ;-)
No, I didn't make the video of Rosie's speech. When she announced on her blog that she had been asked to speak there, I waited until there was a video available online....(there always is). I found it on bliptv and got permission to embed it on my blog. I am assuming that people were writing in to Rosie-asking where they could see it. My guess is that she did a search for it, picked the link she liked and then linked to it on her blog. That's the connection. Whatever the case may be,I am grateful.
Thanks for the visit and comment.
