Yo ya tengo mi kino permanente :) No hay chileno que no sueñe con ganarse el Kino y hacer realidad sus sueños. Y siempre es motivo de consulta, para los que trabajamos en el área matemática, sobre las probabilidades de ganar este juego o si existe algún método para obtener tan importante premio. Cuando conocen que la probabilidad de ganar es 1 : 3.268.760, o sea 0,0000003 con 15 números y que ahora que bajaron a 14 números es 1 : 4.457.400, o sea 0,0000002 se desilusionan al ver tan lejano el ansiado premio que se entrega los miércoles y domingo de cada semana, cuando hay ganador(es). Y así muchos juegan al azar, sin seguir ningún método, con lo que las posibilidades se reducen y son mínimas. Mi objetivo con esta sección es aproximarlos a los 14 aciertos siguiendo algunas condiciones que están basados en el análisis matemático de combinatoria que he realizado de este juego de azar. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. elsongarces Dr.Joker

Some of the most interesting light can come from doing the unexpected with your flash. Here are five great techniques to boost your off camera lighting. After exploring those five you’ll have a great toolbox for shooting pictures with off camera flash. By jwlphotography Ring light is one of the lighting modifiers very commonly used in the fashion industry. Packing two Canon speedlites and a pocket wizard this mod may not be suitable for the poor, yet if you have the lights around, you’ll get a semi-pro ring light for the price of two ball bungees. By mingthein Some of the hardest things to light are specular objects. The “secret” to light specular object is that you don’t pour light directly on the object, but on the surface that reflects off the object.

Selling Your Photographs Through Stock Libraries: A Primer « Light Stalking Before the advent of digital photography, there was no micro and macro in stock photography, royalty free was a little used term and image catalogues were large glossy books with just a selection of the best images. To purchase an image you either asked one of the library’s researchers to look for it or you went in person and trawled through thousands of transparencies on light boxes. Apart from a few big stock agencies there were hundreds of smaller ones each dealing in their own niche’s such as music or historical images. The face of traditional stock photography was changed beyond recognition by two major developments, the advent of the digital camera and the rise of the Royalty Free license, both of which lead to the development of the microstock agency . So What is Microstock and Macrostock? Lets start with a brief explanation of each, starting with the new kid on the block – the microstock agency.

The Rogue Grid for Lighting Macro Photos When photographing tiny little flowers I sometimes have problems with the size of the light modifiers I need to use. Recently the Rogue Grid became my smallest softbox, and it just works great. The Rogue Grid is a honeycomb grid that can take a collection of LEE Filters. Softboxes, even small ones, are sometimes too big for photographing small flowers. Whether because they're emerging from the middle of vegetation that cannot be moved away or at a position that does not let me place light at the exact point I want, I tend to have problems placing my lights for that kind of shots. My studio: a vase on the windowsill, with the Rogue Grid and flash on a Justin Clamp above the flower to be photographed. I do a lot of photography with flowers in the wild but also in vases, as we tend to buy, grow and nurture some flowers both to embellish our home but also for my photography fun. An example of what is possible to get from the setup above. Thinking Outside the Grid A Rogue Amidst the Flowers
