How to copyright photos in Lightroom: protect your images in 6 easy steps In this Adobe Lightroom tutorial we’ll show you step-by-step how to copyright photos by adding your contact details to every photo’s metadata. It’s common practice to share your digital photos as electronic copies. You might do this by emailing them to clients, posting them on your Facebook page or presenting them in an online gallery. Once you’ve shared a photo you can’t control where it ends up, because it’s easy for others to make an electronic copy. As the creator of the image, you own the copyright to it, so others must seek your permission if they want to use it. When your camera processes an image to render its colours and tones, it also includes information about the camera settings used to capture the photo, such as the shutter speed and aperture setting. This metadata is stored with the image file, so where the image goes, the metadata goes too.

Il kireji, di Hiroyuki Fukuda e Valeria Simonova-Cecon – CINQUESETTECINQUE Il kireji (切れ字), o “carattere che taglia”, si potrebbe definire uno speciale “strumento” letterario impiegato nello haiku. Un kireji è un termine che non possiede un significato vero e proprio, ma accompagna una parola, mettendola in particolare rilievo. Da un punto di vista stilistico, un kireji (usato solamente nella lingua poetica scritta e mai nel parlato) conferisce al componimento un certo tenore nobile, alto, propriamente poetico. Un kireji, posto all’interno di un verso, lo rende quasi automaticamente “gradevole” da un punto di vista letterario. Dal punto di vista grammaticale e ritmico, un kireji crea una cesura (se si trova all’interno del verso) ossia una pausa (se posto alla fine di un verso, non tagliandolo). Eitan (詠嘆) – profonda commozione prodotta dalle cose;Yoin (余韻) – riverbero, retrogusto, ossia il senso che si rivela oltre le parole. Ai nostri tempi si usano principalmente tre di essi: 「や」- ya, 「かな」- kana e 「けり」- keri, mentre gli altri assai di rado. ah, Matsushima!

13 Signs You Are Deficient In Magnesium And How To Fix It Every organ in your body, and especially your muscles and heart, needs magnesium to function properly. In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical processes. That’s a pretty tall order, so you definitely want to be sure you are getting all you require. But there’s a good chance you are actually deficient in magnesium. Why do I say that? Because up to 75 percent of Americans don’t even meet the minimum daily requirement for this mineral, which is 310 to 320 milligrams for women and 400 to 420 milligrams for men. The reason why most people are deficient in magnesium has a great deal to do with diet.

Tutoriel photo de nuit Depuis mes débuts en photo, je suis attiré par la photo de nuit ou plutôt par la photo « entre chien et loup ». J’ai donc passé beaucoup de temps à pêcher ces lumières si particulières. On me demande souvent comment faire ce genre de photos. Ce n’est pas très compliqué et je vais essayer de vous donner quelques trucs et astuces pour réussir. En préambule, je tiens à dire que je ne vais parler dans cet article que de photos de paysage en milieu urbain. Côté matériel, n’importe quel appareil fera l’affaire à condition de pouvoir désactiver le flash et qu’il permette des poses de plusieurs secondes. En numérique il est préférable de travaille en RAW, car cela nous laisse une bien plus grande latitude de traitement, qui peut s’ avérer bien utile en photo de nuit. En revanche, le trépied est l’accessoire indispensable !! Un photographe et son fidèle trépied… Le 1er conseil que je peux donner est de ne pas faire les photos ? Une photo ? Miroir sur la Garonne
