The back lighting suprise


I've been more conscious of framing, and lighting. It makes a huge difference in the presentation of the image. Rather than keeping the sun at your back, I've been attempting to angle the sun of the upper right, or lower left. Highlight rather than full on lighting. In this shot I knew I was going for a soft back lit type of exposure. I focused on the center wild flower, but what I discovered upon viewing the image after I downloaded it was an incredible green/gold back lighting. The darker green leaves and the back lighting seem to be the theme of the image rather than the wild flower which was my original intention.

The structure:
Shutter Speed 1/160
Aperture Value 4.0
ISO Speed 200
Lens EF70-200mm f/4L
Focal Length 160.0mm

The magic is the unexpected creative shot that happens!

Router modes and channel impairments

What does it mean for a wireless network to be operating in "infrastructure mode?" Clients connected to a base station (an access point or router) are operating in infrastructure mode. They communicate indirectly through this access point or router which serves as a bridge to a wired network. Ad-hoc mode networks are networks that do not rely on a router or access point infrastructure. As a result, each client participates in the routing by forwarding data to the other connected clients. What are the differences between the following types of wireless channel impairments:  path loss, multipath propagation, interference from other sources? Multipath propagation is when packet loss occurs due to electromagnetic waves reflecting off of ground objects which then take paths of different lengths between sender and receiver. Interference from other sources happens when there is interference from radio sources transmitting in the same frequency band. Wireless phones and wirel...

Maine summer 2014 photo shoot

Wells Maine beach drive I made a trip up to Wells-Ogunquit Maine last year for my vacation. I was fascinated with the coastal rock formations along the beaches that other photographers had posted throughout the web. I wanted to try my hand at capturing the dawn light and the sunlight reflecting off of the rocks with a long exposure time. In addition, some much needed away time to ride my bike and read. Marginal Way Day one consisted of scouting locations. Perhaps a quick bike ride or beach outing followed by a lobster sandwich. After unpacking I took my bike out through the streets of Wells Maine. I was struck by how similar it was to the town in the movie Jaws Martha's Vineyard. Wells is a small town with narrow streets and older homes. The beach drive featured a fantastic stretch of road just perfect for biking. After a great seafood dinner I scouted the Marginal way.  A combination of site seeing and shooting with the iPhone.  I really underestimated the amount ...

Database Normalization Basics

There are 3 primary reasons why a database should be normalized: It brings data integrity to the tables (entities). This facilitates proper inserting, updating, and deleting of data thereby preventing data anomalies. If a table is not normalized it runs the risk of inconsistent data, data redundancies, and inconsistent result sets.   To create entity relationships thereby providing referential integrity. Referential integrity ensures that relationships between tables remain consistent when entities are altered. To avoid having one set of users with a biased view of the data. For example a marketing department may view the data in line with their revenue needs rather than having an objective view of the data as it applies to the entire organization. We begin by analyzing the current relationships that exist between the attributes within each entity. Apparent in the Orders entity is the repeating data in the ITEM_NAME, ITEM_DESCRIPT, QUANTITY, and PRICE attributes. We bre...
