  • Here's Some Ideas
    On that “Perfect Moment.” “Sometimes there’s that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears” John Legend. Covid-19 Safety Concerns The LCC executive advises against heading out right now. By staying home, you are protecting your life as well as the lives of others. If you are out and about though, remember to keep 2 meters apart, watch what you touch and wash your hands often (yeah, I know- I sound like your mom…). May 2020 Theme- Blue Hour. Definition: The blue hour is the period of twilight in the morning or evening, when the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade that is different from the blue shade visible during most of the day, which is caused by Rayleigh scattering. The requirement to have taken the picture at the Blue Hour has been suspended. Feel free to use post-production techniques in your editing software to add in the “Cool Blues.” Take out some of your old, Blue Hour images and work at enhancing them to best suit this theme. Here’s some ideas: Tim Shields critiques a number of pictures to describe what makes a great Blue Hour shot. Tim does a good job describing what works and what doesn’t. The video is about 15 minutes long but only the first 7 minutes is on the Blue Hour. Tim also touches on how some of the contributed photos could have been enhanced through simple steps in post production.

  • Roadmap #84 Hardly Any Light ⏤ Which Means Much Slower Shutter Speeds As Well
    BREAKFAST STOCK CLUB PREMIUM CHALLENGE #84 SEQUOIA CLUB Blue Hour By Marilyn Nieves Also known as the blue hour, twilight is what I call the magical hour of the day. As winter settles in and we experience shorter days, it’s the perfect time to have some fun with night photography. The blue hour comes twice a day. It’s called the blue “hour” but in reality, the average time frame is about 30 minutes, depending on your location. It happens just before sunrise and then again right after sunset. I typically go out to capture it in the evening as the sky’s blue deepens and you see hints of purple and magenta. As city lights turn on, their golden hues seem even more vibrant and eye- catching in contrast with the sky. No matter where you are, there’s just something wonderful and magical in blue hour images. It’s a sliver of the day that transforms everything we see. Twilight Images as Stock Blue hour images are not only eye- catching but they can create a mood of wonder, mystery, and exploration among viewers. Think of destinations from the perspective of the traveler and what would feel inviting and make you want to explore that place. Blue hour light can create some stunning stock images useful for travel related advertising projects. From a slightly more abstract point of view, with the aperture wide open to give you just a hint of the city, this image can be used in so many ways. For example, other than as a travel concept it can also be used as a broader conceptual business theme about looking towards the future and unlimited possibilities.

  • The American Air Almanac
    THE AMERICAN AIR ALMANAC In 1933 the U.S. Naval Observatory prepared and published an air almanac planned especially for the aviator. This almanac, designed to eliminate many steps previously required for solving celestial sights，was enthusiastically received by airmen and led to the issuance of air almanacs by several foreign governments. Lack of sufficient appropriations prevented the Naval Observatory from continuing the publication of the American Air Almanac. However, coincident with the increased acceleration of aviation activities, funds were recently made available to resume publication of the Air Almanac. This publication will appear in issues covering periods of four months, the first issue being for the months of January, February, March, and April, 1941. It is expected that this issue will be available for sale early in December, 1940，through the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. All data for one day are concentrated on a single sheet. These include coordinates of the Sun, Moon, principal planets, and stars, as well as sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset tables. Interpolation tables are placed adjacent to this daily sheet and so arranged as to be easily understood. Every effort has been made to shorten the number of operations required in working sights of heavenly bodies, an obvious saving of time as well as decreasing the chances for error in computation. At the time when the Aircraft Navigational Manual, H. O. Publication N° 216 was • prepared, the manuscript of the American Air Almanac was not available for use in illustrat­ ing the^chapter on Celestial Navigation. The values contained in the American Air Almanac, however, may readily be substituted for those taken from the American Nautical Almanac and used with even greater facility.

  • Evening Or Morning: When Does the Biblical Day Begin?
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Vol. 46, No. 2, 201-214. Copyright © 2008 Andrews University Press. EVENING OR MORNING: WHEN DOES THE BIBLICAL DAY BEGIN? J. AM A ND A MCGUIRE Berrien Springs, Michigan Introduction There has been significant debate over when the biblical day begins. Certain biblical texts seem to indicate that the day begins in the morning and others that it begins in the evening. Scholars long believed that the day began at sunset, according to Jewish tradition. Jews begin their religious holidays in the evening,1 and the biblical text mandates that the two most important religious feasts, the Passover2 and the Day of Atonement,3 begin at sunset. However, in recent years, many scholars have begun to favor a different view: the day begins in the morning at sunrise. Although it may be somewhat foreign to the ancient Hebrew mind to rigidly define the day as a twenty-four-hour period that always begins and ends at the same time,4 the controversy has important implications for the modern reader. The question arises: When does the Sabbath begin and end? The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the day begins in the morning or in the evening by analyzing the sequence of events on the first day of creation (Gen 1:2-5), examining texts that are used to support both theories, and then determining how the evidence in these texts relates to the religious observances prescribed in the Torah. Because of time constraints, I do not explore the question of whether or not the days in Gen 1 are literal.

For sunlight, we can distinguish the following light phases depending on the elevation of the sun: golden hour, blue hour, twilights, daytime and nighttime. Starting time and duration of these light phases depend on the location you are. This is why it is so important to thoughtfully plan for a right timing when your travel abroad. Predicting them is compulsory in travel photography. Also, by knowing when each phase occurs and its light conditions, you will be able to assess what type of photography will be most suitable for each moment.

  • Solar Terminator Effects on Middle- to Low-Latitude Pi2 Pulsations
    Imajo et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2016) 68:137 DOI 10.1186/s40623-016-0514-1 FULL PAPER Open Access Solar terminator effects on middle‑ to low‑latitude Pi2 pulsations Shun Imajo1*, Akimasa Yoshikawa1, Teiji Uozumi2, Shinichi Ohtani3, Aoi Nakamizo4, Sodnomsambuu Demberel5 and Boris Mikhailovich Shevtsov6 Abstract To clarify the effect of the dawn and dusk terminators on Pi2 pulsations, we statistically analyzed the longitudinal phase and amplitude structures of Pi2 pulsations at middle- to low-latitude stations (GMLat 5.30°–46.18°) around both the dawn and dusk terminators. Although the H (north–south) component Pi2s were affected= by neither the local time (LT) nor the terminator location (at 100 km altitude in the highly conducting E region), some features of the D (east–west) component Pi2s depended on the location of the terminator rather than the LT. The phase rever- sal of the D component occurred 0.5–1 h after sunrise and 1–2 h before sunset. These phase reversals can be attrib- uted to a change in the contributing currents from field-aligned currents (FACs) on the nightside to the meridional ionospheric currents on the sunlit side of the terminator, and vice versa. The phase reversal of the dawn termina- tor was more frequent than that of the dusk terminator. The D-to-H amplitude ratio on the dawn side began to increase at sunrise, reaching a peak approximately 2 h after sunrise (the sunward side of the phase reversal region), whereas the ratio on the dusk side reached a peak at sunset (the antisunward side).
