How Do You Get Rid Of Ringworm On A New Tatto
creativity and experimentation.
42 photos with Canon 550D, 15mm lens. F / 4, shutter 3.2 sec. at 100ISO.
Amateur Astronomer - see his photos on Flickr - and apparently attracted by all that is tied to natural events, in a particularly good night last June, has seen fit to devote himself to photography of lightning in immediate vicinity of the stadium in Athens. Nothing extraordinary one could argue, were it not that put his camera on the stand he took over half an hour 51 pictures (he also appears in one), and 42 of them (the remaining 9 were discarded for because of light exposure) made a sandwich, getting a really great result.
It seems that the biggest lightning, which seems almost flat on his head, and fell only a few hundred yards away. Apart from the data shown in the photo, are not provided more details about the shooting or the subsequent processing: watching the water falling from the upper deck at the top, you'd think that for one of the photos have also used a bit of flash , since the long exposure time did not allow to freeze the large drops that fall (unless it is due to the strong intensity of the flash closer) may also have required a good job in preparation, data the long sequence of images to overlap, and the need to balance the weight of each photo on the overall result.
But the aspect that has convinced me more than anyone else in deciding to offer this image is not purely technical; looking at his other photos on Flickr I could sense a gradual approach to photography: 's use a compact Canon A75 to capture a snowfall in Athens in 2008, then the Canon 300D camera attached to a telescope photograph the moon, until the last experience with the new 550D, which is exploring the field courses rarely even advanced amateurs and professionals. Transpires a progressive involvement, the fact that it does not stop to buy a new camera and a nice goal, but that is taking him to study and experiment with creative new ways. Bravo Chris! We look forward to your next picture.

Confirmation Letter Daughter
Approach to Macro - up lenses
The term macro is often used improperly, because we can talk about only if the macro magnification ratio is at least 1:1 , ie when the image reproduced on the film or sensor is the same size as subject. If the magnification ratio is less than 1, it is more correct to talk about photography at a distance close, otherwise defined as "Close-Up."
A first step for the latter discipline is to use additional lenses: These lenses are positive by 1 or more diopters, which can easily be fitted over the lens through the threads available for use filters. The benefits of additional lenses are not limited to practical use, it is also cheaper than other solutions and not have the need to vary the exposure.
The disadvantages stem from the fact that they can not be optimized with respect to the objective on which are mounted, involving lower quality (especially at the edges), which obviously depends on the quality of the lens, and usually increases with the number of diopters or more if we use the lenses together. 
The lens has the additional effect of reducing the focal lens is mounted on which, however, given that the draft (distance from the mouth of the lens mount from the focal plane) remains unchanged, the target group + lens able to focus at a distance less than the maximum allowed by one goal, making it possible to photograph the subject more closely.
Let's see what results you get with a 50-200 zoom lens and three 1, 2 and 3 diopter that I own (see photo at the beginning of post). In the tests I photographed an old bill from £ 1,000 well-preserved; to have a meter By comparison I would remind you that the size of the note are 11.4 x 6.1 cm.:
Magnification approximately 0.05
Magnification approximately 0.1.
Magnification about 0.15.
Magnification approximately 0.21
Magnification approximately 0.1
Magnification approximately 0.21.
Magnification approximately 0.32.
Magnification approximately 0.43.
Magnification approximately 0.22.
Magnification approximately 0.47
Magnification approximately 0.71.
Magnification approximately 0.96.
My preference towards the 50-200 zoom lens comes from the fact that the additional have a more pronounced effect on the lenses and they allow to stay further away from the subject, which, in many cases is an important advantage (such as when photographing animals).
As a last notation, remember that the use of an additional lens, due to the change in focus on introducing, on the one hand you get closer to the subject, the other will not allow focus to infinity, appearance little significance if we consider the situations in which we will make use of the lenses.
To conclude: even when you do not feel particularly attracted by the close-up photography, I think worthwhile to invest a few Euros on an additional lens, I am sure that after some testing you will discover a world of interesting and varied and you will not regret buying: look at the picture on the side and see if you guess what I photographed ...
The ability of slow to converge / diverge light rays is expressed in diopters, representing the reciprocal of the focal length in meters (also applies to the objectives). The power in diopters D of an additional lens with a focal length F (in millimeters), is determined by the following formula:
Using the number of diopters D and the focal length of F , in meters, we can calculate the focal length Fc + objective lens system resulting from the following formula:
Fc = F / 1 + DF
Starting instead from the lens focal additional ( F lens ) , and the objective F , the focal length Fc lens of the complex target can be calculated as follows:
Fc = (F lens x F) / (F slow + F)
(with focal always expressed in millimeters)
If we want to know what the minimum focus distance of a target by using an additional lens, just apply the following formula:
d min = (F lens xd ob) / (F + lens d ob)
where: d min = Minimum distance focus of the whole "objective + lens".
ob d = minimum distance of focus of the lens without additional lenses.
lens F = Focal length of the additional lens.

The benefits of additional lenses are not limited to practical use, it is also cheaper than other solutions and not have the need to vary the exposure. 
to limit the decline in quality due to aberrations, some manufacturers adopt a scheme to two elements (achromatic doublet), or three elements in two groups on the internet I have read very positive opinions for some of these lenses
- eg.: those Canon 250D (+4) and 500D (+2) - only problem is that the cost goes up to 80-100 € (52-58mm diameters.), compared to 18-25 € a lens Hoya, B + W Kenko or a single element.

- Let's start with the smallest focal zoom, to 50 mm.
Magnification approximately 0.05
Magnification approximately 0.1.
Magnification about 0.15.
Magnification approximately 0.21
- continue with the results of the central focal zoom, the 100mm.
Magnification approximately 0.1
Magnification approximately 0.21.
Magnification approximately 0.32.
Magnification approximately 0.43.
- And finally we see the results on the focal length longer than 200mm.
Magnification approximately 0.22.
Magnification approximately 0.47
Magnification approximately 0.71.
Magnification approximately 0.96.

For those who like to experiment with the calculations, below some guidelines and formulas that I found on the Internet:
= D 1000: F
For example, if an additional lens focal length is 200 mm, its power is:
1000: 200 = 5 diopters
To determine the focal length in millimeters, of course, just reverse the formula:
For example, if an additional lens focal length is 200 mm, its power is:
1000: 200 = 5 diopters
To determine the focal length in millimeters, of course, just reverse the formula:
F = 1000: D
For example, if the power of an additional lens is 2 diopters, its focal:
For example, if the power of an additional lens is 2 diopters, its focal:
1000: 2 = 500 mm.
Using the number of diopters D and the focal length of F , in meters, we can calculate the focal length Fc + objective lens system resulting from the following formula:
Fc = F / 1 + DF
Starting instead from the lens focal additional ( F lens ) , and the objective F , the focal length Fc lens of the complex target can be calculated as follows:
Fc = (F lens x F) / (F slow + F)
(with focal always expressed in millimeters)
If we want to know what the minimum focus distance of a target by using an additional lens, just apply the following formula:
d min = (F lens xd ob) / (F + lens d ob)
where: d min = Minimum distance focus of the whole "objective + lens".
ob d = minimum distance of focus of the lens without additional lenses.
lens F = Focal length of the additional lens.
(also In this case, all measures should be in millimeters).

Tonight, taking advantage of the technical problems of Facebook, I decided to write. A Who? To my former students, their families, but also to those who pass by here ... sooner or later.
This blog contains my feelings, but also those of my former students, Silvia, Antonio, Fatima, Roberto, Sergio, and others who had the ' habit of leaving a comment or just a greeting. All this happened before that a guy from Harvard invented Facebook!
Best wishes to you all ^ __ ^

Hazara Afghans in Italy united to protest against attacks on Behsood kuchi, Daimirdad and the District of Nahur
Hazara Afghans in Italy, join together in a demonstration to protest against the recent attacks on peaceful villages of the nomadic Taliban Hazara located Behsud, Daimirdad, in the districts Nahur Maidan and the province of Ghazni.
In these recent fierce attacks, thousands of innocent people have been forced to flee, many have died, among them women and children, their homes are burned under the fire of weapons of nomads Taliban.
E 'also be considered genocide, the systematic and well organized series of attacks, which they propose to move the war from the southern part of the country on the peaceful Hazara provinces, blocking the progress of the Company Hazara, which is one of the most oppressed and discriminated ethnic groups of Afghanistan in the history of this country.
I kuchi (nomads Taliban), armed with heavy weapons, they come with their vehicles and destroy agricultural land of the Hazaras, burn their houses and they kill them when captured.
massacred for the first time since tyrant King Abdul Rahman Khan in 1890 for the second time by the Taliban in 1990 and subsequently recognized as the most democratic and the people in the various progressive political and social arenas, the Hazaras are under the pressure of fundamentalists and fanatics Taliban are imposing a war against them.
The Taliban knows that the Hazaras, as their opponents are stronger than the wall against fundamentalism and terrorism in Afghanistan today. They know that to enter the territory and achieve their political objectives must first pass this wall.
the racist government of Karzai, however, is giving the Taliban (gavels?) based on their racist policies, not only is not reacting against the Taliban but welcomes them warmly in the political arenas of the country. This is not acceptable to the Hazaras who have long been victims of the Taliban.
During these three weeks of war against peaceful tax districts and provinces, the corrupt and racist government of Karzai and his international allies, the UN special representative,
The Hazaras give value to the process of peace and democracy in their country, although it is fragile and symbolic. Based on these values, after the war have laid down their arms to begin a new era with the international community and to rebuild their war-torn country, but they had to go up against a racist government, the opposite of what they deserved.
Considering the previous years, the Hazaras have played a significant role in the legitimacy of the elections in Afghanistan with a remarkable presence of women and men of various cities and provinces.
Again, while this year's parliamentary elections approach, the fanatical fundamentalists can not tolerate a strong presence of the Hazara that legitimate elections, so they attacked their areas, supporting the nomadic Kuchi and using violence.
Since 2002, the Hazaras have been a support to peace in Afghanistan, moving quickly towards education at different levels.
The Hazaras have supported the process of democratization of the country for a long time, playing a major role in national presidential and parliamentary elections and in the years of peace processes. They have always been a society of government support in the face of ethnic bias, prejudice and ill treatment.
The Hazaras assess the human rights and freedom of thought, speech and expression.
assessing the rights of women, the first woman minister in Afghanistan's history, the first woman governor and first woman mayor in the history of Afghanistan were all Hazara women.
farms cultivated oats and other cereals in place that nourishes and enriches the opium war of terrorists. The Hazaras are against any kind of terrorism and fundamentalism and condemn all types of terror and attack. The Hazaras want peace, security, equality and social justice.
For all these reasons mentioned above are increasingly threatened by extremist and fundamentalist fanatics.
Through peaceful demonstrations, the Hazara Afghans in Italy condemn all forms of violence, crime against humanity and even condemn the genocide that took place in Behsud, to Daimirdad and in the districts of Nahur.
We want to push the Italian government and European officials to consider the idea of \u200b\u200bno longer support a government guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity against its own citizens.
continue our peaceful and lawful protest until our voices are not heard by the international community and as long as it will break its silence and act to resolve this problem , thus ensuring safety for citizens of Afghanistan. If this does not happen, the Hazaras in Afghanistan should arm themselves and defend themselves, so that the relative peace brought into the country will break again and as we all know the consequences of such a war would be unpredictable.
Date and time of the meeting: Sunday, June 6, 2010

pilgrims to Jerusalem
devoting my time to the management of sites " The Road to Santiago ... and Beyond" and "Francis came here to" virtually my blog is mostly neglected.
But today I want to refresh ... we are in spring and in our country is digging the gardens and the flowers are put on the windows to highlight the fact that the winter is past and there is rebirth. So
to give new life to the blog, add a link to some great photos done by a special pilgrim, great, unique Valmadre Stefano della Valtellina.
Party on foot from March 1, Rome, May 25 has come to Jerusalem, passing through Albania, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel and Palestine
a great journey, thanks to his almost daily contacts with the chat site but most of all the images you download, we did live in parallel with him.
The pictures are beautiful and speak for themselves.
The photos were divided into four albums, only the last attached ... that collects photos of the journey in Palestine-Israel, but I invite you to see the other three albums>> click here <<
