Approaching photography hill

CROWS Synopsis: When Crows are on the rampage they are hungrey for you. Breathtaking VFX/CGI effects and spectacular animal photography by the special effect producer and animal trainer of the hit documentary movie “Winged Migration” A number of crows that have been specially bred for scientific study escape after a traffic accident. Unknown to the surrounding areas, a horror has been unleashed upon them that will soon have millions of people battling for their very lives… The young vet Alexandra is the only one who recognizes the warning signs, and she alone must try to avert the approaching disaster. As the birds begin to mount more and more baffling attacks, Alex manages to break through a wall of silence that a certain group of scientists have built, a group that has several reasons for trying to prevent the truth concerning the special crows from being known. The aggressive birds display an uncanny talent for organization, flocking together to form veritable flying armies. It’s not just individuals that are being attacked –with an eerie intelligence; the deadly crows are also targeting the population’s food supply. The authorities decide to deal with the danger by poisoning the birds – which could result in a truly catastrophic scenario. A breathtaking SFX showdown begins between a couple trying to build a home for themselves and a sky full of enemies who far outnumber them.   Starring: Susanna Simon Jochen Nickle   Category: Thriller   Age Restriction: 13 PGL

Cook Islands 2 dollars180 years of Photographie Camera Obscura Silver Coin 2006 Edition Technical Specs Presentation Country:   Cook Island Metal Purity:    Ag925 Box:   Yes Year of Issue:   2006 Weight:   10 g CoA:   Yes Face Value:   2 dollars Dimensions:   30     Quality:   Brilliant UNC     Mintage:   2500   A camera obscura (Latin for "dark room") is an optical device that led to photography and the photographic camera. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside, where it is reproduced, inverted (thus upside-down), but with color and perspective preserved. The image can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a highly accurate representation. The largest camera obscura in the world is on Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales.[1]Using mirrors, as in an 18th-century overhead version, it is possible to project a right-side-up image. Another more portable type is a box with an angled mirror projecting onto tracing paper placed on the glass top, the image being upright as viewed from the back.As the pinhole is made smaller, the image gets sharper, but the projected image becomes dimmer. With too small a pinhole, however, the sharpness worsens, due to diffraction. In practice, most camerae obscurae use a lens rather than a pinhole (as in a pinhole camera) because it allows a larger aperture, giving a usable brightness while maintaining focus. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
