Darth Vader’s original wimpy voice [video]
9 Feb 2010 | 11:15 amImagine a galaxy far, far away where Darth Vader sounded like any other British bloke strolling down the corridors of the Death Star. Before James Earl Jones provided the menacing voice of the Dark Lord of the Sith, English actor and bodybuilder David Prowse delivered the lines from inside the Darth costume. While George Lucas never intended for Prowse’s voice to make the flick’s final cut, it’s weird to imagine how different Star Wars would have been with a different Vader voice.

20 Criminal Terms You Should Know
8 Feb 2010 | 5:00 pmDISCLAIMER: This is a random list of frequently heard terms that relate to criminal activities. It is NOT comprehensive. It is NOT to be construed as legal advice. If you need reliable legal information, talk to a lawyer who practices law where you reside. Broadly speaking, U.S. law recognizes two types of crime: misdemeanor and felony. Not every state agrees as to the classification of misdemeanors and felonies. For example, in some states domestic abuse is a misdemeanor; in others it’s a felony. Nonetheless federal guidelines determine the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor… -
Word of the Day: Ostracize
7 Feb 2010 | 5:13 pmOstracize means to exclude someone from society or from any group of people. It comes from the Greek ostrakízein, which was the practice of banishing citizens by popular vote. Yet there is still a woeful reluctance in Africa to chastise, ostracise or help to oust villainous leaders, such as Mr Mugabe or Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir, who has been indicted as a war criminal at The Hague; indeed, too many African leaders have rejected that court altogether. (The Economist) Nicholas D. Kristof reports on rape survivors in eastern Congo struggling to recover from violence and trauma in the face of… -
Having a Yen
7 Feb 2010 | 5:00 pmThe word yen has described a Japanese monetary unit since the 1870s. This use of the word derives from Chinese yuan, “round, round object, circle.” In English the word yen can also mean “desire” or “wish.” Do You Have a Yen to Go to College? Have a yen for policy?

Razed to the Ground
7 Feb 2010 | 5:00 pmThe englishmonarchs.co.uk web site reports that many monasteries were “raised to the ground” by Viking raiders during the reign of King Ethelred I. But how can a monastery be “raised to the ground”? Although commonly seen on the web, the phrase “raised to the ground” is almost always a misspelling of “razed to the ground”. Whilst it is possible for something to be “raised” to the ground, it would, logically, have to be below the surface beforehand. Miners could raise ore to the ground. But when talking about a building or a city the phrase should be… -
Word of the Day: Gestalt
5 Feb 2010 | 12:57 pmA gestalt is a configuration or system so unified that it cannot be described by the sum of its individual parts. In Germany, a country that is home to Mercedes-Benz and the autobahn, life in a car-reduced place like Vauban has its own unusual gestalt. (NY Times) Now comes a fresh, noble perspective from Leander Kahney, news editor at Wired.com and a longtime follower of Apple and its mercurial co-founder. Rather than float on the periphery of the Jobs gestalt, he’s decided to get inside the man’s head. (USA Today) Your eBook: Click here to download the Basic English Grammar…

Most people don't know this, but Mr. Johnson was actually a very generous person – if a detention slip is your idea of a good present.

A Writer’s Greatest Tool: the Smartphone
7 Feb 2010 | 7:32 amA guest post by David Pierce from Digitizd I’m a writer, and I don’t carry a notebook around with me. Heck, I don’t even carry a pen. Do people even use those anymore? Pens. So old school. Instead, I just use my cell phone. In my life as a writer, there’s been no tool more useful or worth the investment than a smartphone. For such a small device, its benefits are enormous. For writers, the benefits might not be as obvious as they are for, say, money managers, but they‚Äôre no less fantastic. Since owning a smartphone (mostly meaning a phone with a functional… -

A New Way to Look At Writing Blog Posts

At the time, blogging was just starting to be used as a way to connect with your audience and attract more eyeballs to your products and services. Back then, I didn’t care about building a readership or writing posts that hit the Digg homepage, I simply kept writing content so that Google would send me more traffic. Of course, a lot has changed since then. I now couldn’t care less about search engine traffic to my blog and instead focus all of my energy on building a vibrant,… -

Getting Your Photography Business in the News
3 Feb 2010 | 5:29 amWhen her friend Ellis was posted to Iraq, photographer Kim Crenshaw decided to send him a care package. Like others hoping to support troops serving abroad, Kim filled the package with candy, soaps and snacks but as a photographer, she wanted to contribute a little more. She invited the soldier’s wife and son into her studio and photographed them lying on a bed, pretending to sleep. She then had the image screen-printed onto a pillowcase and included the bedding in the care package. The letter of thanks that Kim received from Ellis, in which he described the pleasure of laying his head next… -
Citizen Photojournalists Win Sales Every Day
28 Jan 2010 | 6:34 amWe’ve heard the hype before. Citizen photojournalism, we’ve been told, is the future of editorial photography. Newspapers are shrinking their photography departments just as cameras have become standard features on mobile phones. With a camera-holder at every news scene, all a media outlet has to do is ask for submissions from any accident, disaster, terrorist attack or demonstration to be immediately inundated with a choice of free, quality images. Why bother sending a pro when the amateurs are already there, good enough and willing to work for next to nothing? It was that hope that led… -
Photography Studio Shares its iPhone App
20 Jan 2010 | 6:26 amOne of the biggest problems for photography studios is amnesia. Clients book a shoot, pick up their pictures… then forget who took them. They might show the pictures to friends occasionally but for the most part, the images stay in the album and the direct connection to the photographer – together with the potential for referrals, repeat sales and additional sales — is lost. That’s a problem that two portrait studio owners are trying to solve by allowing photographers to put not just pictures, but their entire studio in clients’ pockets. Tim and Joy Vertz are co-owners of Shoot… -
Flickr Photographer Says No to Getty
13 Jan 2010 | 8:16 amPhotography: Vanessa Dualib Food photography is usually a difficult niche for a photographer. Getting the lighting right is only part of the challenge. You also need to know how to pose the food, prevent it from drying out under lights and make it look appealing and appetizing. Many specialist photographers work with professional food designers whose job is to prepare the plate while the photographer sets up the shoot. Sometimes though, it can pay for a photographer just to pull out her camera, open the fridge and play with her food. Vanessa Dualib, an artist from Sao Paolo, Brazil, has three… -
When Photography Really Does Mean Business
7 Jan 2010 | 5:21 amPhotography: Craig Holmes It would be great if success at photography were only about talent, technique and the ability to produce a great picture. It isn’t. Earning a living behind the lens also means understanding the business of photography, knowing how to promote services, sell images, and protect yourself against the most damaging competition. That’s hard enough at the best of times. It’s even harder at a time when anyone can buy a good camera, practice taking pictures and start marketing themselves. But the same opportunities that now give enthusiasts access to buyers also allow…

Is your travel photography subject or technique driven?
8 Feb 2010 | 7:13 pmHave you ever pondered this question? When you try a new technique - a new post-processing move, some fancy flash work, a new view of the world with a new lens - are you doing it because you can or because it tells a story?The reason I ask is this. I grew up on a diet of photojournalistic style travel photography in the vein of National Geographic. For the most part natural light, fly on the -

Fighting the resistance in your photographs

Gaining, and Keeping, Your Confidence

Tips for Focusing in the Dark
4 Feb 2010 | 8:18 amTaking a long exposure picture in dark conditions can be a challenge, because the camera’s auto-focus capabilities find it difficult to “see” a point of focus. Manual focus can be hard, too, because you can’t see what you’re trying to focus on through the viewfinder! In keeping with this month’s “long exposure” challenge, here are a few tips for focusing in the dark. Nikon D300 + Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 @ 10mm - 30sec, f/4.5, ISO 1000. 1.

Lens Nomenclature Decoded
3 Feb 2010 | 6:00 amHave you ever looked at the text printed on the barrel or around the front element of your lens and wondered what all those numbers and letters and symbols meant? Some may be clear and obvious, some more obscure. Here’s a “decoder ring” of sorts, to help you sort it all out. Let’s take a Canon lens as the first example: Canon Lens EF 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6. Ø58mm - “EF” stands for “electrofocus”. This means the lens has an internal motor for auto-focusing cameras. - “28-80mm” refers to the focal length that the camera is capable of. In…
