Alton Towers Lift 3D Scary Shocking Illusion

lifts can be a terrifying place to be in, particularly if something goes off incorrect. Since childhood, concepts of being tricked by an lift, or a malfunction happening at the instant we use them, has given us nightmares. Still, I don't think its that common that each time we step onto a raise, the prospect of staining crosses our minds. We understand the odds are in our favor, so if certain thing occurs, it will probably occur to somebody else, right? Shoppers in London, however, were in for a frightening ride lately. The lift at the Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth, London, provided shoppers a factual shock. The lift had a very sensible optical illusion painted, just like that Anti-smoking ceiling we featured before. This time the floor was finished in a way to appear it was missing. As customers stepped onto the elevator, their hearts skipped a trounce as they were surely in for a shock. If this over-the-top PR stunt is only a preview of a new travel hitting the Alton Towers topic reserve next month, it noise thrilling!

You never seen this types of artwork in you whole life. Creative person Andrew Walker make this 3D illusion to promote a new travel called "Nemesis Sub-Terra" at the Alton Towers theme park. The lift ride opens on March 24, and when it does, it will take visitors on an underground ride from side to side an complicated network of caves. Supposedly, "it will be unlike anything seen before in the UK". Let's wait and see. Below I will attach a perfect video for your entertainment and you get right idea that how peoples shocked.

Dramatic Afternoon Sky

I took this shot several months ago during an early summer afternoon when the clouds were at their most dramatic. I used an older Canon Rebel XT body but was still able to create a very good exposure using my EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM glass. The clouds that afternoon were spectacular to look at.

Lightroom 2 Black and White Bird Photography

Sometimes the light is just not right or the background is too distracting. You make the best exposure possible under poor conditions but the image just doesn't "pop". Rather than flagging your image as "Rejected" in Lightroom 2, take a moment to see what happens when you convert it to grayscale. You may be surprised at the results.

Moon Photography: 6 Tips for Better Moon Photos

The moon is something so familiar to us, and yet so strange that it's mesmerizing. It's at once commonplace and extraordinary. As photographers, we are drawn to it in an attempt to convey the intrigue we feel when we look at it.

But moon photography can be tricky.

A bright full moon creates one of the most high contrast situations there is, posing a difficult challenge for photographers. Often photos of the moon appear like a spotlight in the sky that looks more like the sun than the moon.

Moon Photography Tips

To get the best possible pictures of our one-and-only moon, it's important to know a few things about it first.

1. Learn the Phases of the Moon

The moon itself emits no light, it's simply a huge rock being lit up by the sun. As it orbits the earth, and as the earth orbits the sun, how much we see of that reflection changes from a bright, full moon to no apparent moon at all.

Because of our counter-clockwise trajectory around the sun, the shadow it casts on the moon is always moving to the left; after a new moon (no moon), the illuminated side starts to creep in from the right edge, expanding towards the left side each night. As the moon's apparent size gets bigger, we call it "waxing".

Once the moon is full, the shadow starts to reappear - again on the right side - and grow leftwards, shrinking the visible moon until it is dark again. This is called "waning". Therefore, any time you want to know what the moon will look like tomorrow, look at it tonight; if it is lit on its right side, it is waxing towards fullness. But if it's lit on the left, it is waning, and will soon be gone.

The twilight sky also holds clues to the lunar phases. If the moon is visible before sundown, it is waxing, but if you can see it before sunup, it's waning. Alternatively, you can always look up a calendar online, or download a moon phase app that will do the calculations for you.

2. Use the Right Equipment

To maximize the success of your moon photography, there are a few bits of a gear that will come in handy.

• A zoom lens.
  If you've ever taken a shot of the moon and been disappointed by the tiny white blob that results, you're probably using too short of a focal length. A standard wide-angle lens makes everything appear smaller, particularly things that are far in the distance. To get a close-up shot, use a focal length of at least 200mm or more. Longer lenses will result in greater magnification and detail.
• A tripod.
  To support the weight of this large lens, and to allow the slow shutter speeds that may be necessary to get a good exposure, mount your camera securely on a sturdy tripod.
• A shutter release.
  These come in both wireless and wired options and will allow you to fire the shutter without having to depress the shutter button and risk camera shake. If you don't have one, use your camera's self-timer to achieve the same benefit.

3. Get a Good Exposure

The moon is very intricate and detailed, with craters, channels, and mountains dotting its surface. If the moon in your photo turns out bright white, it is overexposed. This happens frequently because the blackness of the surrounding sky throws the light meter off.

To fix this, turn down your exposure compensation (+/-), or use your camera's spot metering mode to expose for the moon alone. Check your camera's manual for information about how to do this on your specific model.

For best moon photography results, bracket your shots. Some cameras will have an automatic bracketing feature, but if yours doesn't, you can simply do it manually. First, take one shot at the automatically-determined settings. Then, using exposure compensation, take the same shot at -0.5EV, and one at +0.5EV. Do the same at -1EV and +1EV, and continue to +/-1.5EV and beyond if necessary. Later, you can choose the best exposure when you view them on your computer.

4. Find the Best Times and Places to Shoot

Unless the city is a part of your scene, you probably don't want a lot of urban light pollution spilling into the sky when you're trying to photograph a pristine moonlit night. You'll get the cleanest shots outside of dense civilization. Explore backcountry roads, or take a hike into the nearby mountains to find truly dark night skies.

That said, a common problem photographers run into with moon photography is the harsh difference between a brilliantly lit moon and a pitch-dark sky. To avoid this, consider shooting during the "blue hours", when the sky glows faintly after the sun goes down, or before it comes up. There is less contrast at this time, though the moon is still bright.

A moon phase app can help you determine when there will be a full moon during twilight.

5. Create an Interesting Composition

As compelling as a beautifully sharp, detailed image of a lonesome moon is, once you've seen one, you've seen them all. Getting that perfect close-up is excellent practice, but try to get creative by placing the moon within a more complex composition.

For instance, you could try framing it behind trees and buildings, or reflecting it off the surface of a still lake. Placing other objects in the foreground gives the moon context and scale that it lacks on its own. Think of the moon as a single element which should be incorporated along with other compositional elements and techniques to make a great final photograph.

6. Combine Multiple Exposures

Incorporating other objects can complicate things though, and you may find that the perfect exposure for the moon doesn't match that of the rest of the scene. Sometimes natural light doesn't cooperate, and the camera doesn't see things the way our eyes do. This is where digital photography comes in really handy, allowing you to play with your images to create the scene the way you saw it, even if the camera saw it a little differently.

To do this, take several shots at different exposures by bracketing, as mentioned above. When you open the files on your computer, choose two: the one with the best exposure on the moon ('Image 1 ), and the one with the best exposure on the rest of the scene ('Image 2 ). Using an image editing program, select the moon from Image 1 and copy it, then paste it into Image 2, covering the moon in that picture. Use the eraser tool with a heavily feathered edge to remove any imperfections and blend the edges together. This method may take some trial and error to get it just right, so try it several times with several different shots to get the hang of it.

When performing this technique, try not to stretch or enlarge the size of the moon. The goal of image editing is to faithfully recreate a scene that the camera simply can't capture all at once, so beware of any visual exaggerations that make the composition look unnatural or inauthentic.
