  • Bill Hurter. the Best of Professional Digital Photography. 2006
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Bill Hurter started out in photography in 1972 in Washington, DC, where he was a news photographer. He even covered the political scene—including the Watergate hearings. After graduating with a BA in literature from American University in 1972, he completed training at the Brooks Institute of Photography in 1975. Going on to work at Petersen’s PhotoGraphic magazine, he held practically every job except art director. He has been the owner of his own creative agency, shot stock, and worked assignments (including a year or so with the L.A. Dodgers). He has been directly involved in photography for the last thirty years and has seen the revolution in technology. In 1988, Bill was awarded an honorary Masters of Science degree from the Brooks Institute. He has written more than a dozen instructional books for professional photographers and is currently the editor of Rangefinder magazine. Copyright © 2006 by Bill Hurter. All rights reserved.

  • Equipment Recommendations
    EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS If you already have a setup that works for you, fantastic. However, if you’re looking to update your gear, below is a list of some of our favorites that we’ve worked with and can recommend. The goal is to help you create a controlled at home studio environment that you can easily rely on. We want to help you focus on your performance...because at the end of the day, that’s what counts. Here are a few user friendly options that won’t break the bank.* SOUND/MICROPHONES MICS FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE STAFF PICK BOYA BY-M1 Lav Mic $19.95 Pros: Budget friendly, long cord (almost 20 feet), easy to use, works great with smartphone. Cons: Only for self tape, can’t be used for live auditions, callbacks, or any live video conferencing. Rode smartLav+ $79 Pros: Easy to use, crisp sound Cons: Shorter cord (about 4ft), less budget friendly NOTES FROM STAFF - These mics are only compatible for self-taping. Please note that these will not work for livestreaming/video conferencing. - Here’s a Lightning Headphone Jack Adapter if you have an iPhone. You will need this for both lavs. MIC FOR YOUR COMPUTER Blue Snowball $54.99 Pros: Great value for the price, USB mic (plugs right in). Works with live video conferencing. Cons: You have to be close to it, not a lot of freedom to move around. Would mainly recommend this as a desktop mic, for someone who will be sitting in front of their computer. NOTE FROM STAFF - The Blue Snowball paired with the Boya BY-M1 Lav is a budget friendly option that should cover all your bases.

  • UNDERSTANDING LIGHT and EQUIPMENT One of the Fundamental Skills That Any Photographer Must Develop Is Mastering Light
    LESSON 1: UNDERSTANDING LIGHT AND EQUIPMENT One of the fundamental skills that any photographer must develop is mastering light. They need to see it, use it, and create it. Lighting defines a successful photo! Think of how light affects the world around you. The landscape is shaped by light and gives you a visual story in showing the layout of the land by defining textures within the landscape. In the studio, lighting for a portrait provides you the visual information about that person, the color of their hair, the shape of their face, and the color of their eyes, and helps create a perception of that person. Products are lit by the photographer to make a product look enticing and/or tasty with the idea that we will buy the product. Lighting techniques make food look better to us, a car more appealing, a model sexier. In this lesson we will discuss a variety of different types of light, light quality, and light direction. Here is an example of one light source, the sun, lighting the landscape in Death Valley. The low angle is creating a texture of light and shadow that gives the landscape a visual impression of the shape of the land. This is ambient light-light I have no control over. This corporate portrait, taken for an magazine article used all artificial light and required 5 strobe heads with umbrellas, grids, and soft boxes as well as color gels on the lights to create this dramatic portrait. Understanding light and how it works is a vital aspect of creating great photos.

  • Non-Invasive Bioluminescence Imaging for Monitoring Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Hematogenous Infection
    Microbes and Infection 8 (2006) 1330e1338 www.elsevier.com/locate/micinf Original article Non-invasive bioluminescence imaging for monitoring herpes simplex virus type 1 hematogenous infection Javier S. Burgos a,*,1, Fernando Guzman-Sanchez a,1, Isabel Sastre a, Cristina Fillat b, Fernando Valdivieso a,* a Departamento de Biologı´a Molecular and Centro de Biologı´a Molecular Severo Ochoa (C.S.I.C.eU.A.M.), Universidad Auto´noma de Madrid, Spain b Programa Gens i Malaltia, Centre de Regulacio´ Geno`mica-CRG-UPF, Barcelona, Spain Received 16 November 2005; accepted 26 December 2005 Available online 24 March 2006 Abstract Traditional studies on viral neuroinvasiveness and pathogenesis have generally relied on murine models that require the sacrifice of infected animals to determine viral distributions and titers. The present paper reports the use of in vivo bioluminescence imaging to monitor the repli- cation and tropism of KOS strain HSV-1 viruses expressing the firefly luciferase reporter protein in hematogenously infected mice. Following intraperitoneal injection, a comparison was made between real-time PCR determinations of HSV-1 DNA concentrations (requiring the sacrifice of the experimental animals) and in vivo bioluminescence emissions in living animals. For further comparison, in vitro light emission was also measured in the ovaries and adrenal glands of sacrificed mice. After infection, HSV-1 spread preferentially to the ovaries and adrenal glands (these organs showed the highest virus levels). Both the PCR and bioluminescence methods detected low viral loads in the nervous system, where the virus was restricted to the spinal cord. The concentrations of viral DNA measured correlated with the magnitude of bioluminescence in vivo, and with the photon flux determined by the in vitro luciferase enzyme assay.

  • Using the Calumet Lights and Sekonic Flash Meter
    USING THE CALUMET LIGHTS AND SEKONIC FLASH METER 1) the instructions for the Monolight and the flash meter are in the bottom drawer of the black computer center in the classroom. Please refer to them as needed. 2) The only switch you need to use on the back of the light itself is the larger on/off switch -- please leave the model light, cell, and mode switches where they are. 3) You can adjust the power of both the flash and the model light on the side of the flash head itself by using the dials. I would start with the flash at full strength and only lower it if you need less exposure, which is unlikely. The model light you can adjust for comfort level and/or brightness. 4) Be sure to turn off the unit when you are finished. 5) If you're shooting 35mm film, remember to only use a shutter speed of 1/60 or slower. If you're shooting with a medium format camera, you can set the shutter at any speed. Do remember to check how much ambient light is in the room to see if it will have any effect on your exposure. The light meter you're using can measure ambient or flash lighting. 6) To measure flash, set the mode so the "T" and the lightnight bolt with a "c" are selected. To measure ambient light, set the mode so the "T" and the sunlight symbol are selected. 7) Remember to correctly set the ISO on the meter for the film speed you're using -- remember that others may be using different speeds and thus will have changed the setting! 8) If you're using the ambient light mode on the flash meter (which is preferable), be sure the meter is directly in front of your subject, pointing at the camera when you fire the flash.
