DOWNLOAD EBOOKSee the complete picture...once you complete the maze. On the surface, these unique puzzles may look like other mazes you've done before. But at the end, there's a nice surprise when the lines that found the right pathway are the key to creating an image, too. To add to the fun, there are two different types of puzzles: basic and reversed. For either one, start out by solving as usual. Then, for the basic variation, just take a dark marker and color in the route you traced. For the reversed style, fill in all the wrong paths, instead. Each puzzle has a label from 1 to 7 for its level of difficulty, and the pictures include portraits, animals, and action scenes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConquer portable strobes and hot shoe flash to create extraordinary portraits! Whether you use small, portable strobes or hot shoe flash, flash photography has always been daunting for most photographers. Without a system and workflow for thinking about and working with flash, you can easily end up feeling stuck, or you end up flailing—randomly changing settings, positions, and modifiers—and hoping for the best. It’s not surprising that this leads to failure and frustration. Enter bestselling author Roberto Valenzuela and the Picture Perfect Flash System, which he created to empower you to finally conquer your flash and create photographs that fulfill your intention and vision. There are two key components to this system, which Roberto calls FACES and NAME. The FACES component provides a framework for thinking about how you want or need to use flash in a particular scene: • Fix the Light: Do you need to fix a low light problem, an unwanted color cast, or a situation with poor quality of light? • Add Light: Do you need to add more light to boost or enhance the available light or create separation? • Create a Mood: Are you using light to create a desired mood for a location or subject? • Effects with Flash: Are you using flash for creative visual effect? • Sculpt the Light: Do you need to sculpt the light to add drama, shape, and contouring? Once you’ve found your purpose for the light, the NAME component provides an essential workflow for carrying out your flash photography in a methodical way so that you get consistent and predictable results: • Number of Flashes: How many flashes do you need? • Angle of Flashes: Where do the flashes need to be positioned? • Modifiers for Flashes: How do you need to modify your flashes? • Energy of Flashes: What power do the flashes need to be? The Picture Perfect Flash System is covered in Part One: The Flash Advantage, which is the core framework of the book. In Part Two: Flash Basics Explained, Roberto covers the flash features you need to know: TTL, Manual, 1st and 2nd Curtain Sync, High Speed Sync, and Channels and Groups. Finally, in Part Three: Dynamic Flash Exercises, Roberto gives you a dozen lighting exercises that will substantially hone and advance your skills. With Picture Perfect Flash, you’ll finally be able to conquer your flash...and make the kind of portraits you’ve always wanted to create.

Now free to explore and understand without mortal consequences, the scientist uses his meditative powers to return to his inner-self, knowing there is work left to be finished. Along the way, those he meets and works with are just as stunning as the parallel world he must navigate. Apep is angry, destructive, and more determined than ever to seek revenge for the loss of Dr. Adams, the one he wanted to enslave for all eternity. But what his monstrous form does not realize is that his soul is on the verge of no longer being. As Apep tries to manipulate the sixth dimension to reveal its open portal, he hopes to find his way into the three dimensional world and force the humans to worship him. Meanwhile as UCLA scientist Allyson Rayburn works to finish Dr. Adams AGE project, she and several others embark on a mission to first find the portal to the sixth dimension and then determine how to control it--without becoming the next victims. Unfortunately what they believe is possible is rapidly becoming an irrepressible force. In this continuing tale, a scientist must rely on help from his colleagues as he searches for spiritual oneness and understanding and attempts to defeat the evil within the sixth dimension.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNon-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is a combination of computer graphics and computer vision that produces renderings in various artistic, expressive or stylized ways such as painting and drawing. This book focuses on image and video based NPR, where the input is a 2D photograph or a video rather than a 3D model. 2D NPR techniques have application in areas as diverse as consumer and professional digital photography and visual effects for TV and film production. The book covers the full range of the state of the art of NPR with every chapter authored by internationally renowned experts in the field, covering both classical and contemporary techniques. It will enable both graduate students in computer graphics, computer vision or image processing and professional developers alike to quickly become familiar with contemporary techniques, enabling them to apply 2D NPR algorithms in their own projects.
