Физиогномика - это учение о существовании взаимосвязи между внешним обликом человека и его характером. Изначальными корнями эта дисциплина восходит к древнекитайским учениям. Физиогномика служила предпосылкой многих типологий характеров, однако никогда не имела научных оснований.

It could almost be a stairway to heaven. This remarkable picture of the full moon was taken by photographer Alisdair Macdonald from the South Bank this week after 20 years of trying. It is not a montage but one picture exposed 10 times.

We hope you enjoy the fun, whimsy and wonder of these selected works from Martin Waugh. Please take a moment and see where your imagination takes you.

So I moved the closer together, got away from the white line and tried again. I only took a couple of more shots trying different poses finally choosing the one where Ellie is finally getting her revenge on big sister. My focal point was on the grass between the girls so that one would not appear out of focus or if your camera has an infinite manual setting you could use that also.

At first I was very disappointed. The butterfly wings were not all in the frame. The depth of field is so shallow that major portions of the butterfly, especially the wings,were ruined. I like my butterflies in sharp focus. Actually, I'm lucky to get anythingat all before they dart off. Butterfly photography is hit and miss. They are generally hand held macros set at a relatively fast shutter speed with wide open lenses so therefore have shallow depth of field. You don't get second chances. Mostly you just chase them around a lot.

Travel Photography is a topic close to my heart and is something that I know many others get excited about also. Here are a few tips that might help get the best out of your digital camera while on the road.

The earliest American attempts in duplicating the photographic experiments of the Frenchman Louis Daguerre occurred at NYU in 1839. John W. Draper, professor of chemistry, built his own camera and made what may be the first human portrait taken in the United States, after a 65-second exposure. The sitter, his sister Dorothy Catherine Draper, had her face powdered with flour in an early attempt to accentuate contrasts.
