Paradise (Coldplay) - Eigenharp Alpha Arrangement - Technical Demo
This is an arrangement of Paradise from Coldplay that was intended to be part of a larger video-collaboration project with other instruments. That project was cancelled. It thought it would nonetheless be interesting to show the Eigenharp Alpha part. So please bear in mind that this was intended to be heard with other musical parts. I debated to add the original Coldplay song in the background but for copyright reasons I don't want to take the risk.

This uses the following software instruments and effects:
* SonicCouture Glass Works Le Cristal

Nikon D800 Specifications
http://sfphotoschool.com/nikon-d800-d800e/
London, UK, 7th February 2012 Nikon today announces a groundbreaking new 36.3 megapixel FX-format professional D-SLR, the Nikon D800.
Designed to answer the needs of tomorrow's photography and video today, the masterful Nikon D800 is packed with new technology that delivers unprecedented levels of depth and detail in photography, and offers all the flexibility necessary to shoot broadcast quality video.
Firmly establishing a league of its own, the Nikon D800 offers imaging potential to rival medium format cameras, but with all of the agility of the D-SLR format — giving professionals who demand attention to detail the freedom to create monumental images.
In an industry first, this exciting launch includes a special edition of the D800 -- the Nikon D800E. With a modified optical filter, the D800E offers a unique alternative for those seeking the ultimate in definition.
Kentaro Kusakari, Product Planning Manager, Nikon UK said: "The D800 sets a new benchmark for photographers shooting both still images and video. The combination of the powerful 36.3 megapixel resolution that records detail like never before, and the comprehensive video options will captivate photographers and moviemakers of all disciplines. He added: "We're excited about the D800 and how it will help to shape the future of the way we capture images and movies."
The big picture
The groundbreaking 36.3 megapixel FX-format (full-frame) CMOS sensor incorporates key technologies that enables unprecedented levels of detail and tonal range.
12-channel readout with 14-bit A/D conversion and high signal-to-noise ratio: delivers images of remarkable quality with low noise and wide dynamic range.
Broad ISO: offering an ISO range of 100--6400, extendable up to 25600 (equivalent) and down to 50 (equivalent), the D800 will set a new benchmark for D-SLRs with this level of resolution. The camera's intelligent noise reduction systems manage noise without sacrificing fine details, allowing superb flexibility under all lighting conditions: images are crisp and clean, even at higher ISO settings.

Alone in the wilderness 2 - The Story of Dick Proenneke
Richard Louis "Dick" Proenneke (born May 4, 1916 – April 20, 2003) was an American naturalist, who lived alone in the high mountains of Alaska at a place called Twin Lakes. Living simply in a log cabin he constructed by hand, Proenneke made valuable recordings of both meteorological and natural data.
Proenneke's father, William Christian Proenneke, served in World War I and later made his living as a well driller. His mother, Laura (née Bonn) was a homemaker. His parents married in late 1909, or early 1910, and had three daughters and three sons: Robert, Helen, Lorene, Richard, Florence, and Raymond. The year of Richard's birth is often given as 1917, but social security and census records prove him to have been born in Primrose, Harrison Township, Lee County, Iowa, on May 4, 1916.
Proenneke served in the United States Navy as a carpenter during World War II. It was during this service that he contracted rheumatic fever and was bedridden for nearly six months. According to Sam Keith, a life-long friend from Duxbury, Massachusetts, this illness was very revealing for Proenneke, who decided to devote the rest of his life to the strength and health of his body.
Following his discharge from the Navy, Proenneke went to school to become a diesel mechanic. The combination of his high intelligence, adaptability, and strong work ethic turned him into a very skilled mechanic. Though quite adept at his trade, Proenneke succumbed to his love of nature and moved to Oregon to work at a sheep ranch. He moved to Shuyak Island, Alaska, in 1950.
For several years, he worked as a heavy equipment operator and repairman on the naval base at Kodiak. Proenneke spent the next several years working throughout the state of Alaska as both a salmon fisherman and diesel mechanic. He worked for the Fish and Wildlife Service at King Salmon on the Alaska Peninsula. His skills as a mechanic were well-known and extremely sought after, and he was able to put away a modest nest egg for retirement. Proenneke retired to Twin Lakes.
On May 21, 1968, Proenneke arrived at his new place of retirement at Twin Lakes. Before arriving at the lakes, he made arrangements to use a cabin on the upper lake of Twin Lakes owned by a retired Navy captain, Spike Carrithers, and his wife Hope from Kodiak, (in whose care he had left his camper). This cabin was well situated on the lake and close to the site which Proenneke chose for the construction of his own cabin. Proenneke's bush pilot friend, Babe Alsworth, returned occasionally to bring food and orders that Proenneke placed through him to Sears.
Proenneke remained at Twin Lakes for the next 16 months, when he left to go home for a time to visit relatives and secure more supplies. He returned to the lakes in the following spring and remained there for most of the next 30 years, going to the lower 48 only occasionally to be with his family. He made a film record of his solitary life, which was later recut and made into a documentary, entitled Alone in the Wilderness. It has aired on PBS numerous times. In 2011, a sequel was produced after it was revealed Proenneke had shot enough footage for at least two more programs. Alone in the Wilderness: Part 2 premiered for the first time on December 2, 2011. A premiere date for Part 3 has yet to be announced.
In 1999, at age 82, Proenneke returned to civilization and lived the remainder of his life with his brother in California. He died of a stroke April 20, 2003 at the age of 86. He left his cabin to the National Park Service, and it remains a popular visitor attraction in the still-remote Twin Lakes region.
In 1973, Sam Keith edited the book One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey, from Proenneke's journals and photography. After years in print it was re-issued in a new format in 1999, and won the 1999 National Outdoor Book Award (NOBA). In 2003, some of the copyrighted text from the book used with permission and some of Proenneke's film was used in Alone in the Wilderness, which began appearing on U.S. Public Television. The film centers around Proenneke building a cabin from the surrounding natural resources and includes his film footage and narration of wildlife, weather, and the natural scenery while he goes about his daily routine over the course of the winter months.
In 2005, the National Park Service and the Alaska Natural History Association published More Readings From One Man's Wilderness, another volume of Proenneke's journal entries. The book, edited by John Branson, a longtime Lake Clark National Park employee and friend of Proenneke, covers the years when the park was established. Dick had a very close relationship with the Park Service, assisting them in filming sensitive areas and notifying them if poachers were in the area.

"Если посмотрите на человека глазом ясновидца, он представляет следующую картину. В середине находится человек, а от него тянутся множество нитей, которые держат его связанным. Эти нити как лучи солнца. Его задача, как ученика в Школе, заключается в том, чтобы постепенно разрывать эти нити одну за другой. Разорвав последнюю нить, он, становится совершенно свободный, может располагать своей жизнью так, как посчитает для себе лучше всего". - Учитель

Nikon D800 Vs D4 - Hands on Comparison
The Nikon D4 and D800 (& D800E) are both about to hit the market, and for those looking to upgrade their current gear. I went Hands on with both cameras during my recent trip to Japan, at Nikon's office in Tokyo, and there's a question that needs asking, "Which one should I get, the D4 or the D800?", asking "which one is better the Nikon D4 or the Nikon D800?" is pointless, because they're both "better" at certain things, so let's break down what those are... and look at the new Video shooting "D-Movie" modes too.

FT1 - The Mount Adapter for Nikon 1 series (니콘 1 전용 마운트 어댑터 FT1)
The FT1 mount adapter allows NIKKOR F mount lenses to be used with Nikon 1 cameras equipped with a Nikon 1 mount. The angle of view of an F mount lens mounted on the FT1 is equivalent to that of a 35mm format lens with a focal length about 2.7 x longer.
The FT1 can be used with more than 60 lenses, representing almost all the NIKKOR lenses currently on the market.
It almost goes without saying that it also supports autoexposure/autofocus and vibration reduction. Electronic rangefinding is available in manual focus mode.You can also explore the new forms of expression offered by the Nikon 1's unique Motion Snapshot mode.
The adapter can be used with the following F mount NIKKOR lenses, including DX lenses but excluding IX-NIKKOR lenses, lenses for the F3AF, non-AI lenses, teleconverters, and auto extension rings.

Quick Tip - Getting sharp photos with Single Focus Mode
http://froknowsphoto.com/qt-singlefocusmode/ Click Here to see the full res sample images from this video.
Have you ever shot in single focus mode and you can swear your focus was locked on but when you looked at the image it was out of focus? Let me try and explain how single focus mode works and how you can use it properly to get tack sharp images.
For the purpose of this quick tip were only discussing focus, not exposure which is equally as important.
Before I fully break down single focus lets look at the focus modes you may encounter. For the most part you have single focus, continuos focus and manual focus.
Single focus is best used when your subjects are not moving such as portraits, landscapes or still lives. The idea behind single focus is that you hold the shutter button down until your focus locks on your subject. At that point as long as your finger is held half way down on the shutter button your focus will not shift away from where it locked.
This is a good thing when your not shooting moving subjects like i said above. Where some people run into issues with single focus is they lock the focus than they move or their subject moves. When this happens your focus is no longer going to be spot on from where you locked it. When the focs plane changes either by you moving or your subject moving you have to refocus.
Some tips to keep in mind are once you are locked in do not move forward or back. Try to keep the same focal plane and if you or the subject moves be sure to re focus. Depending on your fstop setting if you shoot at a higher number such as 8, 11, 16 you give yourself more leeway for movement.
But my major tip is to always re focus if you or the subject moves. One last tip is to focus on the subjects eyes opposed to focusing on their nose or forehead. This is best done in single focus where you focus on the eyes than recompose your image to where you would like it all without changing your focal plane.

LOVING YOU - MINNIE RIPERTON - (1975)
Minnie Julia Riperton (November 8, 1947 -- July 12, 1979) was an American singer-songwriter best known for her vocal range of five-and-a-half octaves, and her 1975 single "Lovin' You". She was married to songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph from 1972 until her death in the summer of 1979. They had two children - music engineer Marc Rudolph and /comedienne Maya Rudolph. grew up on Chicago's South Side. As a child, she studied music, drama, and dance at Chicago's Lincoln Center. In her teen years, she sang lead vocals for the Chicago-based girl group, The Gems. Her early affiliation with the legendary Chicago-based Chess Records afforded her the opportunity to sing backup for various established artists such as Etta James, Fontella Bass, Ramsey Lewis, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and Muddy Waters. While at Chess, Riperton also sang lead for the experimental rock/soul group Rotary Connection, from 1967 to 1971. In 1969 Riperton, along with Rotary Connection, played in the first Catholic Rock Mass at the Liturgical Conference National Convention, Milwaukee Arena, Milwaukee, WI, produced by James F. Colaianni. Riperton reached the apex of her career with her number-one hit single, "Lovin' You," on April 4, 1975. The single was the last release from her 1974 gold album entitled Perfect Angel. In January 1976, Riperton was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a radical mastectomy. By the time of diagnosis, the cancer had metastasized and she was given about six months to live. Despite the grim prognosis, she continued recording and touring. Riperton was one of the first celebrities to go public with her breast cancer diagnosis, but did not disclose she was terminally ill. In 1977, she became a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society. In 1978, Riperton also received the American Cancer Society's Courage Award which was presented to her at the White House by President Jimmy Carter. She died at age 31 on July 12, 1979.
Vocal ability
Aside from her various hits, Riperton is perhaps best remembered today for her ability to sing in the whistle register, in which she had rare facility. Riperton possessed a five-octave vocal range (the liner notes to her Petals legacy album ascribe five-and-a-half octaves to her). Riperton's ability to enunciate in the high registers set her apart from most other whistle-register singers. This feature is most notably heard in the song Here We Go, where she sings "here we go" in the whistle register. Whistle-register enunciation can also be heard in songs such as "Inside My Love", "Adventures in Paradise", "Expecting", "Only When I'm Dreaming", and also in "Teach Me How to Fly" and "Like a Rolling Stone" with the Rotary Connection. Riperton was also noted for her ability to sound almost mechanical or instrumental in the whistle register. In "You Take My Breath Away", she sang a portamento ending two octaves above the staff. She has also been credited for her ability to sustain notes in the sixth and seventh octave for long periods of time, as in "Reasons", "Could It Be I'm in Love", "Adventures in Paradise", and "Inside My Love" and also "Love Me Now" with the Rotary Connection. Having an innate ability to imitate many instruments helped lead to Riperton's discovery while she was a secretary at Chess Records. In her recordings. Riperton's highest recorded note reached in the whistle register was F7 on the third scale of "You Take My Breath Away". Minnie reached this extremely high note before on an early recording of "Teach Me How to Fly" and "Could It Be I'm in Love". Also in a live performance of the song "Ruby Tuesday" from Rotary Connection, she sang an F#7. In a 1998 interview for Vibe magazine, Mariah Carey cited Riperton as an influence on her.
