![]() Position your camera so that you’re looking through the droplet to the flower beyond. I used a Lume Cube, but a small flashlight can work as well. I carefully used the syringe to place a drop of water on the petal then I positioned my single light source so that most of the light fell on the flower and a small amount spilled over onto the petal. The Helping Hand clamps are…well…very helpful in achieving this. I positioned the flower and petal about six inches or so apart. Helping Hands are extremely useful for home-studio macro photography. Positioning the water droplet on the flower petal with the syringe. ![]() I’ve chosen to photograph the entire set up in a light booth I had, but that’s not necessary. It could have been better with a narrow gauge needle which would have allowed for finer control over the water droplet, but I didn’t have one, so I made do with just the syringe. Finally, a small syringe with tap water serves as my source of droplets. I’m also using a couple of Helping Hands clamps to position the subject. ![]() I took another table-top tripod and put a Lume Cube as a single source of light. I set it up on a simple table-top tripod. I’m using a Sony α7R IV with the Sony 90mm f/2.8 G Macro lens. Photo by Mahesh Thapa ( Sony α7R IV, Sony 90mm f/2.8 G Macro lens. Let me first share with you the equipment I used and how I set everything up. The image below, for example, was made with a flower petal, a drop of water and a single rose. I’m referring to shooting through a single or a few droplets of water to frame something special beyond it. I’m not talking about taking pictures of plants with water sprayed on it. Recently, I discovered the magic of water droplet imaging. I love macro shots of flowers, but I wanted to do something different. If you can learn a little bit of that from me, then I’ve accomplished my goal. However, I do think it’s the process that’s most important. None of the ideas I present are novel and so many creators have brought them to light much more elegantly than I am about to. "With my Sony α7R IV & Sony 90mm f/2.8 G Macro lens, sound knowledge of photography fundamentals and a few homemade tools, I’m trying to create some photographic art on a small scale."īecause I’m so new to macro, I’ve been doing a ton of research online, so you won’t have to. I hope you’ll join me as I try to set up and photograph everyday things I find in my home and backyard. However, sometimes I feel it’s equally helpful to get the perspective of a novice and ride along on the journey of discovery and synthesis. There is no substitute for learning from a master ( like this Macro Quick Start Guide by macro pro Caroline Jensen). With my camera and a macro lens (I'm using a Sony α7R IV and the Sony 90mm f/2.8 G Macro), sound knowledge of photography fundamentals and a few homemade tools, I’m hoping to create some photographic art on a small scale. This is the first of a series of tutorials where I’ll share my journey into everyday macro at home with you. I’m definitely not a macro shooter by design, but necessity has made me into one.

Advantages of a Shipping Container HomeĬrafted from durable, weather-resistant steel that’s made to take a beating during international travel, shipping containers are designed purely for functionality. Unlike other types of tiny homes, container dwellings have the added benefit of being a scalable modular structure and impart a cool, urban-inspired industrial aesthetic. Since a standard high cube shipping container is typically 20 feet by 8 feet or 40 feet by 8 feet, a shipping container home build can have anywhere from a 160 to 320 square feet floor plan to work with, similar to a tiny home, and up, depending on how many you stack together. Here, you'll find everything you need to know, including building, buying, and inspiring designs to help you get started.Ī container home is a small living space converted from one or more, new or repurposed shipping containers into custom homes.

Once on the fringes, shipping container homes have solidified their place in the mainstream for being a durable, versatile, and believe it or not, aesthetically-pleasing shelters for seasonal and full-time living.

Here is an interesting article that involves solitaire from The Telegraph newspaper in the UK. Whether played on the latest computer or by hand, it is an ideal mind exercise and stress reliever, more popular now than ever before. Players don't need to shuffle and deal the cards for each and every hand, making game play more enjoyable. Microsoft has included the game as part of the Windows operating system since 1990. In the 1980s, personal computers made solitaire more popular. The game of Roosevelt was named after him, although his favorite solitaire game was Spider solitaire. Roosevelt was another well known patience player. However, Napoleon enjoyed the more popular games of the day such as Whist, Vingt-Un and Piquet, so whether he played those solitaire games or actually invented them is unclear.įranklin D. Helena, Napoleon's Square, Little Napoleon. ![]() Many games bare his name or the name of the island he was exiled to: St. It is said that Napoleon played solitaire during his exile. Before this, there had been no literature about it, not even in such books as Abbe Bellecour's Academie des Jeux (1674), Charles Cotton's The Compleat Gamester (1674), and Bohn's Handbook of Games (1850), all of which are used as reference on card games. The first collection of solitaire card games in the English language was written by Lady Adelaide Cadogan with her book of Illustrated Games of Patience published in 1870. The outcome of a game could possibly have been thought to be a type of fortune telling. Other languages, such as Norwegian and Danish often use the word Kabal, which means secret knowledge, to describe these games. In modern France, the game is more often called réussite, which means success. In Britain, it is still often called Patience. Playing by one's self probably came out of people enjoying practicing for competitive games. It was described as a competitive card game where players would take turns to play with separate decks of cards. It has its earliest written appearance in the 1783 edition of the German book of games, Das neue Königliche L'Hombre-Spiel, where it is referred to as Patiencespiel. It could just as likely have its roots in Germany or Scandinavia. But that doesn't necessarily mean it started in France. Several games are of French origin, such as La Belle Lucie, Le Cadran, La Nivernaise, Le Loi Salique. It's a bit of a mystery where solitaire actually comes from.

Dawson City was founded where the Klondike and the Yukon River meet. Only around 40,000 actually did, and only 4000 of those managed to get some gold.īoom towns appeared along the route to accommodate the prospectors. If a column in the tableau is empty, any visible king can be moved to fill that space.Īfter gold was found in Rabbit Creek in north-western Canada in 1896, the Klondike stampede saw an estimated 100,000 prospectors trying to reach the gold fields.On the tableau, cards are played in descending order, alternating colors.Cards of the same suit may be played on each ace in ascending order, from low (2) to high (king). As they become available, the four aces can be played onto the foundations.If the card you turn over is playable (either on a foundation or on the tableau), you may do so. Turn cards from the draw pile over one at a time.Build all four suits up from ace to king in separate stacks.The cards that are left after setting up the tableau are placed in the draw pile, face down.The top card of each pile is turned face up.28 cards are dealt out into seven piles, in the following manner: The first pile (left to right) includes one card, the second pile includes two cards, the third pile includes three cards, etc., so that the last pile has seven cards.The Tableau: The seven columns that make up the main table.The Foundations: The four spaces in the upper right corner.The Waste: The faceup cards next to the Draw in the upper left corner.The Draw: The stack of facedown cards in the upper left corner.There are four different types of stacks in klondike solitaire. |
