Creative Food Photography

By James Wong

There are a number of different tips that could be learned when discussing the subject of food photography and what every food photographer should know. We will go cover a few of the introductory tips here. Some of the important ideas to keep in mind are lighting, props, quickness and enhancement. Here we will learn techniques for food photographers to take the next step.

Light

Light is obviously the tool of a photographer second to the camera itself. Getting this right is always the trick with any kind of photography. With food photography though it is super important. Get it wrong and no amount of photoshop work will bring the picture to life.

Using Props

The right props can bring a simple food dish alive. Some food types like fast food is dull and lifeless so choosing the right props of fresh fruit, vegetables, plates, candles etc will make the dull become magic. To be s good food photographer you must have a special eye and flair for design. if you have this skill naturally you will fly.

If you do a lot of food photography then shopping at second hand markets can be a great way to build your box of props. You can pick up expensive items like large pots and dishes and vases for a few dollars and a smile. If you do not do much then you may have to go shopping for what you need and bill the client!

Speed is essential

If you are a slow-coach perfectionist then food photography may be hard for your to master. Like master chefs that throw masterpieces dishes together in minutes master food photographers capture the essence in minutes too. Be quick else it will be a mess is the thing to remember with food photography. As soon as food warms or cools it droops, melts, discolours and a whole range of other things. Be ready with all the lighting and use placeholder items such as places to get the lighting right. Once the food is there you should be shooting.

Way to improve your photographs in an instant

An excellent food photographer will want to learn this last but not least creative technique when it comes to taking photographs of food. And that is to use a small amount of vegetable oil that you have on hand and brush it on the food. This will make your dish glisten and stand out deliciously in your pictures.

Touch base with the chef

You will usually be working with a food professional be it a stylist or chef. Hopefully you are not on a low budget shoot and have to do the displays yourself.

Take a few minutes before the shoot to talk with the chef and ask them how they like to work. Ask them if there is anything you need to know about the food that may not be obvious. If nothing else this will make them feel good so you will then be able to work closer and better together.

Where You Can Get Furniture on a Budget

By Dirk Williams

There are plenty of people at one time or another that find themselves having to live on a tight budget and you will often find people who are first time homeowners that fall into that category as well as people who might be going through career or lifestyle changes.

Believe it or not, it is actually very easy to come by furniture that does not look like what I call early marriage, you know the hand-me-downs and the garage sale items or the culmination of what you had or your spouse had before you got married, the stuff that really clashes. It is very simple to find furniture that does not cost a fortune and can add a more coordinated, mature look to your home.

As a single parent at one time, I had a very tight budget and post divorce, you do not necessarily want to keep furniture items that remind you of the union of marriage that has now been dissolved, so I had to find ways to make my very tight budget stretch in order to get some new furniture when I moved.

I do not want to mislead you into thinking that these ideas will instantly lead you to the perfect piece of furniture you are looking for because chances are, it wont. In fact, you will probably have to do a lot of searching to find everything you want and are looking for, but its not too hard to have a good time doing this because the trips you take to look for furniture can be quite interesting and comical as well.

One of the best places to look is at garage sales. Depending on the time of year when you are shopping, you can find some great deals on some very well taken care of furniture that people just have either no room for or just do not want anymore. The last couch I found at a garage sale was well maintained and had no flaws or stains and it was very close to what I was looking for and I was able to pick it up for $25.00. Now, seriously, how can you beat $25 for a very well maintained couch? I have not been able to find that great of a deal since, I have found some great deals, but none as great as that.

Flea Markets are another good choice because there are tons of communities that have a flea market on the weekend and vendors who are looking to make you a deal to get rid of their stock are usually bountiful at a Flea Market. Just because their furniture might be cheap does not mean it is cheaply made, remember, these vendors do not have the overhead that the owners of a furniture store do and this is why they can cut you a great price break.

Thrift stores, consignment shops, scratched and dented rooms in the bigger furniture places are all great places to look for your next piece of furniture on a tight budget. Keep these tips in mind when you are looking and also, keep in mind that you might want to discuss this with family members, they might have a great piece of furniture to add to your home that they are willing to part with or have no use for.

Planning A trip To Paris- Guide To Its Modern Art and Architecture.

By Suzanne Crasto

In Paris France, the earliest sign of civilization dates back to 4,200 BC. This was when the Parisii of Gaul, which was a Celtic tribe of boaters and traders, dwelled there. The Romans brought their culture to the Left Bank, bringing palaces, baths, temples and theaters. Once the empire collapsed, rule of the city passed from Germans to the Franks to Burgundians and to the English. Finally, French kings assumed the throne again in 1436. Paris survived a number of upheavals, power struggles, revolutions, wars and disease outbreaks over the centuries. Today visitors staying in Paris hotels can see bits of history all around them, if they know where to look.

Architecture buffs have a number of places to see when they visit Paris France. You'll see palaces like the Palace of Versailles, which was built in the French Renaissance tradition circa 1678; Chateau de Villette, another 17th-century palace, crafted in French Baroque style for Louis XIV's ambassador, Jean Dyel; or the Palais de Chaillot, a stripped classical structure designed for the 1937 World Exposition. Other French Baroque palaces include the Chteau de Maisons, Chteau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, the Jardins des Tuileries, Palais du Luxembourg and Palais Royal-Muse du Louvre. In addition to palaces, there are churches in Paris that date back to the 12th and 13th Centuries, such as the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral (1163), La Sainte-Chapelle (1238), Basilique Saint-Denis (1136) and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (1140). Mont Martre, St. Louis des Invalides, the Church of Saint-Sulpice and the Paris Pantheon are other beautiful, historic churches.

In addition to showcasing beautiful palaces and churches, Paris France is world-renowned for its impressive monuments. The Arc de Triomphe, at the western end of the Champs-lyses, was built in 1806 to honor soldiers who fought for France during the Napoleonic wars. The Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world from 1889 to 1930 and is considered one of the most romantic spots on the planet. For architecture buffs who also are intrigued by history, the Invalides museum is the burial place for French soldiers like Napoleon, Turenne and Vauban, while the Panthon church holds the bodies of Voltaire, Victor Hugo and Marie Curie. There are two Statues of Liberty located on the le des Cygnes on the Seine and in the Luxembourg Garden, which was the prototype for New York's famous monument. The Paris Opera house and the University of Paris in the Lation Quarter are other beautiful places to Paris visitors.

Paris fashion is known for stylishness in much the same way as New York, Milan and London. Paris's reputation for fashion began at the turn of the 19th century, when Charles Frederick Worth opened up a fashion house containing clothes with his signature label. He began advising clients what to wear and designing new ensembles for them. Prior to that, rich nobility would hire no-name seamstresses to tailor custom garbs. Talented illustrators composed sketches of new clothing designs for magazines, which started to draw the international spotlight to Paris couture. Notable designers to come out of Paris France include Coco Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Jeanne Paquin, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Michael Kors, Guy Laroche, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, Gaspard Yurkievich, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and John Galliano.

If you are passionate about food, then you can come to Paris and request a food tour from www.edible-paris.com, www.viator.com/paris-food-tours, www.poshnosh.com/tbkaf/foodlover-paris.html, www.meetingthefrench.com or circatours.com/tours-wine-cuisine/paris-food-fairs.htm.

Whether you stay for a romantic weekend at hotels in Paris or you spend several weeks soaking it all in, you'll find all that Europe has to offer all in one world-class city

What to Consider When Choosing a Hairstyle

By Toni Moretti

There are numerous factors to take into account when choosing a style of hair, as this tends to be a very personal issue. You want to be certain that the style you choose will suit you the best. No one wishes to spend lots of money to change their hair look or color and be somewhat disappointed by an outcome of looking particularly average or ordinary. Be honest, with yourself during this process as it will be only you which needs to be satisfied with your choice of hairstyle and color.

If you happen to have a facial feature that you are not pleased about, you likely do not want to choose a style that is going to accentuate this. For example, if you feel that your eyes are a great asset, then you would not wish to cover them with a style that has long bangs hiding your eyes.

On the other side, if you were displeased about having a large forehead, then you would likely want to choose a style that would cover it up like a fringe or large bangs. The most important, personal and valuable thing you absolutely must do is a self-assessment of your face and features.

Then you should be looking at photos of people with similar features and assess what they have done to their hair and decide how it will look on you. Photos of celebrities would be the best place to start this process, as their stylists are the best at making their good features stand out and hiding the not so favorable features, as well as having such great advice for these stars. And so by selecting the stars that look as close to you as possible, the process of choosing a hair style that bests suits you is now that much more easy.

Other issues you will need to take into account when considering a new hairstyle would be: 1. Permanent- are you seeking a new style for a specific event, such as a graduation or prom, or will this change be more of a permanent toe that you wish to keep for at least a couple of months.

2. Age- your age should certainly be a factor in your new style and almost dictate what the appropriate style should be.

3. Time- not only do you have enough time for the initial appointment but does your lifestyle provide you with enough time to style and maintain your hair style on an ongoing, regular, and daily basis.

4. Budget- again not just at the initial appointment but also on an ongoing basis are you capable of affording any specialized products that may be required to maintain your new hair style.

Qualified hairstylists are a great source of advice in this matter. They are perfectly suited to assist you with the advice you need and help you make the most logical and practical decision regarding you choices.

It is always best to do research first a have a selection of styles you prefer as compared to styles you dislike and discuss these with your stylist. This gives your professional stylist a greater and more precise understanding of what it is you are looking for in a new style.

It better prepares them to lend advice and assist you in the choosing and decision making process to ensure a perfect style that you are not going to be displeased with. After all, your hairstyle says alot about you and is especially important in first impressions.

Grab Readers Through Article Marketing

By Skotten Edelstein

The articles you use for article marketing should grab your readers' attention and hold it. There are various components that go into a piece of writing to accomplish this. When you include them all into an article it will hold your readers' attention all the way through to the finish. You have to start of course with a title that makes the article sound interesting enough for someone to read.

When the title is not interesting enough then the readers will assume the article is just that. So make some extra effort coming up with the article. You need it to be something catchy that entices your reader to be curious about what the rest of your writing is. So pay attention to this first stage.

The first paragraph should speak on the entire topic that your writing work is based around. Allow your readers to have just the right amount of information in let?s say 4 to 5 sentences that they want to read on and learn more. The first paragraph needs to end by introducing the reader to the next section of your article.

Now comes the body for the writing piece, which informs your readers of the facts you want to share with them, and hopefully bring them to your website. So this needs to be written in a compelling and interesting fashion to captivate the readers' focus. Remember you need them to follow the article through to the link you have placed for the website you need them to go to, which is conveniently placed in the end of your writing piece.

Your article should always include the link of your site; this is the main function of the article marketing. You want to attract people to your site in the end. Give the link in an inviting way to encourage people to click it. Write the line to go something like ?For more in depth info on this topic click here...?, but of course you can write whatever suits your needs.

The article does not have to be a long one, say in the range of 400 or 500 words that is if the site is not limited to smaller articles of 250 words. If you have too much information to convey though you may choose a longer article of 750 or 1000 words to get your message across. This all is based on how much information you have to transmit to your readers.

Now after you have told your readers the sum of the information you need to, then you need to write a summary. This summary is not complicated to write and it does not need to be that long. This is to close your article in natural way. Sometimes a section out of the opening paragraph is used, while some people write a wrap for their article. Any of these methods is right.

Just know that the first paragraph starts the ball rolling on the information to gently get the reader to stay with the article. The body is designed for the bulk of the information. The summary or conclusion is for gently finishing off the article.

You should now understand in what way you should be writing the articles for you marketing for your site. The articles take only a short time to write when you are knowledgeable on the topic. Here is hoping you luck for your campaign of article marketing, and hopefully you will reap rewards from it quickly.

You can change into a sweet princess or a hideous ghoul or anything in between when using theater makeup. Whatever character you want to dress up as, it is even more possible with theater makeup.

Halloween is such as fun holiday, since both children and adults can dress up as anything imaginable. Stage makeup can be used to make a cute little girl look like a fairy, or even a little boy look like the scariest vampire. Stage makeup can be used to create scars or wounds for those dressing up as zombies and goblins, or it can be used to put fake blood on a witch or other magical character. Stage makeup can make the young look old, the old look young, and the prettiest look like an ugly hag. Theater makeup is great to achieve almost any look for Halloween, and it is fun for all ages. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Game-Costumes-title0-p-1-c-555.html

Theater makeup is also great for school plays and other performances, since it can transform almost anybody into something completely different. Stage makeup can make a sweet little child look like a yellow daisy, red like an apple, or even like an adult. When children perform history plays in their classrooms, they can use stage makeup to add a beard, mustache, and even wrinkles to look older. Stage makeup can also make children look like fairly tale characters from their favorite movies and cartoons, so they can put on a play about a topic they love. Stage makeup is great for children to use for their school plays, since they can transform into almost anything.

Sometimes theatrical makeup is also called "clown makeup." Basically since the image of a clown immediately conjures a white face with distinctive eyes and mouth. Every day makeup could never duplicate this look, which is why the term "clown makeup" was created. If you visit a costume shop and can't find the makeup you are looking for ask for clown or theatrical makeup. The owner will know exactly what you need.

Theater makeup works for adding additional characteristics to almost any character, such as pointed ears or fake wounds. The theater makeup helps to blend the prosthetic parts onto the face and other parts of the body, making them look much more realistic than if they didn't have any makeup. Moles can be added for a witch costume, and funny ears can be applied for fairy or elf costumes. The theater makeup can also add additional effects to the latex prosthetic pieces, such as adding fake blood or pus by using different colors.

You can brighten things up a bit, at sports games while painting your face with your team colors if you have any Halloween makeup hidden away in your cabinets or makeup drawer. There is no better way to show your team spirit while cheering on your favorite sports team while wearing Halloween clown or stage makeup. http://www.costumecauldron.com/Kids-Skeleton-Ghost-Costumes.html

When using theater makeup, it is possible to transform any actor into a fantasy character. Theater makeup works great for children's plays and performances, as well as Halloween costumes. Children entertainers such as clowns and mimes also frequently use stage makeup, which makes it possible to entertain kids in disguise. Theater makeup is a must have for holidays as well as school events, and all parents should have some on hand in case they need to transform their child into a princess or goblin.

What To Demand In Your Next Pressure Cooker

By Jim Samposzi

Pressure cookers are sealed units that don't allow the escape of air while cooking. This style of cooking your food is very different than any other methods. Pressure cookers are usually constructed with stainless steel or another type of metal. Nowadays, these devices are much less dangerous to use than they used to be. In its earlier days, pressure cookers weren't manufactured with safety in mind. In this time, these pots were known for exploding and causing damage to people's skin. Although the older models were dangerous, the ones nowadays are built with the following features:

* Handles - A lengthier handle on one end of the pressure cooker where the lid is air-tight and a smaller one on the opposite end make it very to pick up the pressure cooker when you need to. Because of this feature, there is risk of burns while handling the pressure cooker. A longer handle will be a lot cooler than something that is not as long for the increased distance from the flame.

* Locking system - Typically, the cover of the cooker is pushed into the top and then locked tightly. This feature reduces the risk of the lid popping up in someone's face while cooking because of the pressure. The lid and the rim of the base pot keep the lid interlocked so the lid cannot open from pressure. Safety lid locks are another feature, where the unit will not start cooking if the lid is not shut tight; this mechanism is usually initiated by a button.

* Weights - Older model cookers used to jiggle when pressure built up. Today, weights are placed on the lids of pressure cookers to reduce the rattle. Also, a manual dial feature or rising valve stem is also included to the pressure cooker. These parts reduce the escape of water from the food. In case of unwanted pressure, the built up pressure is safely moved through a series of secondary valves.

* Metals - A stainless steel type cooker is perfect for cooking a variety of different meals as this material will not react with acid ingredients like tomatoes. Stainless steel cookers can be safely used on any surface. They can also be used on the grill or directly in a fire. Also, a metal spoon is good to use in a stainless steel pressure cooker as they will not scratch or discolor the unit. Moreover, stainless steel pressure cookers will live forever without rusting out or coming apart.

* Pop up pressure indicator - Pop up pressure indicators show when the wanted pressure setting has been reached. This feature eliminates guesswork and accurately depicts the pressure level that is inside the pot.

These cookers have come a long way since earlier models. Nowadays, most people are familiar with this style of cookers and sometimes use them for cooking meals. Many individuals use these pressure cookers during holidays and other celebrations. And, many people use them often to feed their family. Either way, pressure cookers provide an effective way to cook.

Coleslaw - You Need To Try This Recipe

By Mike Sasaki

Coleslaw is a delicious treat consisting mostly of shredded raw, white cabbage. It sometimes includes carrots, too and kids love raisins. There are tons of variations of the recipe which include red cabbage, pineapple and apple. Coleslaw is always mixed with some sort of dressing which traditionally consist of vinegar though modern cole slaw often contains mayonnaise, milk, or creme fraiche. Some love mayo and others hate mayo, so you can vary how much mayo you have in your coleslaw. A variety of seasoning may be added, too. The dressing is allowed to settle on the blended ingredients usually for several hours before being served. It is served chilled and probably tastes best if the ingredients are allowed to sit together over night.

Here is a little history on coleslaw. The term "coleslaw" arose in 1794 as a partial translation from the Dutch word "koolsla" meaning "cabbage salad", which obviously fits. It was commonly called cold slaw in England until the 1860's when "cole" meaning cabbage was revived and used. "Cole" originated from the Latin colis meaning "cabbage", and is the source of the Dutch word as well. The term coleslaw is a late 19th century term, which originated in the United States.

This is my favorite coleslaw recipe of all time.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs (cored, quartered, shredded) Cabbage, 3 Tablespoons Vinegar - Cider, 2/3 Cup Mayonnaise, 1 Small (grated) Onions, 2 (grated) Carrots, Seasoning - Salt.

Cooking Directions: 1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cabbage with the vinegar and salt. Grate the carrots and optional onion directly into the bowl. Add the mayonnaise and toss well.

2. The slaw can be served immediately, it is much better, more tender, if allowed to stand and tossed occasionally for 30 minutes. For a very limp slaw, refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Regardless of what you think of coleslaw, you will love this recipe. And the great thing about coleslaw is that you can easily modify it to suit your taste. For example, if you like mayo, you can add mayo.

Tips on Shopping for Wheels and Tires

By Will Treps

Finding and buying the right wheel now can save you the time and money for replacement later. You also ensure your safety and that of your passengers. Here are some basic tips when shopping for tires and wheels.

Look for Package Deals

Wheel and tires can be sold separately. This may be an option for you if you don't really need to replace your wheels just yet. Sometimes though, it makes better sense to shop for package deals. You can order all four car tires with their wheels. This can usually help you save a few dollars in shipping than if you ordered separately.

One other added advantage of ordering package sets is that you get only the best fit and mounting service from your dealer. If you aren't very experienced in fitting wheels and tires, you should just really leave it to the experts.

Look for a Lot of Options

Specific vehicle types should only be fitted with specific tire sizes and dimensions. This doesn't mean though that you have to be stuck with only just one tire and wheel brand or model. Look for dealers that can offer you wider selections and options for your vehicle.

Ask for Installation Instructions

Be certain that they come with full installation instructions. Reputable dealers won't forget to insert the appropriate guidelines but you can never be too sure. Nothing spells frustration better than getting a whole package of wheels and tires and not knowing what to do with them.

Make sure your dealer is willing to offer help with finding someone who can install it if it doesn't come with any instructions on installation. It can be tricky finding installers on your own if you do not personally know any good ones. Look for an online tire dealer who already has a good list of installer prospects to choose from.

Read Reviews

Find out more about what you're buying. After reading through product information and the advice of your dealer representative, you should look for even more unbiased opinion. You can usually get that from other consumers who have tried and tested tires and wheels of different brands. Look for consumer opinions in forums or in online review and rating sites. This will help ensure that you aren't just being drawn by a sales representative who's trying hard to sell.

Evaluate Policies and Terms

Rules and terms may vary from dealer to dealer. Make sure that you read all the fine print before clicking the buy button. You would want to be sure about shipping policies, exact costs, hidden costs, warranty rule and return policies. You would have to be at ease with all of your dealer's terms before you get a tire and wheel package.

Look for Customer Service

Look for a good customer service. Your dealer should have knowledgeable personnel who are ready and willing to answer all your wheels and tires questions.
