Umbrellas and softboxes are common lighting devices in photography, each creating distinct lighting effects. Softboxes produce soft, diffused light with blended shadows, while umbrellas generate stronger, more directional light leading to higher contrast. Photographers should choose softboxes for softer illumination and umbrellas for sharper, wider light, with beauty dishes as an option for semi-hard light.Lighting techniques for photography

Light is an electromagnetic wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and can travel through space. It spreads in straight lines and carries energy. Light sources such as the sun emit light, while objects that do not emit light themselves are called dark bodies. When light hits surfaces, it can be reflected, absorbed, or pass through depending on whether the surface is opaque, translucent, or transparent. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Shadows form when light rays are blocked by an opaque object.Lighting and scenery

Light travels in straight lines at a speed of around 300,000 kilometres per second, much faster than sound. We see objects because they reflect light into our eyes. Shadows are formed when light is blocked by an object. Light reflects off surfaces at the same angle it hits them, following the law of reflection. White light is made up of the colors of the rainbow which can be split and recombined.際際滷 unit 6 light

Light is radiant energy that allows for vision. It travels very fast at around 300,000 km/s and comes from the sun as the main natural light source. There are two types of light - natural from sources like the sun, and artificial that is man-made such as light bulbs. Objects can be transparent and let all light pass through, translucent and let some light pass through, or opaque and not let any light pass through. Light interacts with objects and the environment in various ways such as reflecting, transmitting, scattering, and causing shadows, rainbows, and colors.Light & flash photography

Light is an electromagnetic event that charges matter and bends through solids and gases. It is a constant flux but our perception of it is manipulated by time. Light occupies a small spectrum of electromagnetic energy that our vision can detect. Photons emitted from charged gases or solids emerge coherently and in phase, allowing lasers to form. Light has no mass and photons have no molecular weight. With practice, we can train our vision and retinal response to customize how we see the world. The angle of incidence of light hitting a surface equals the angle of reflection. Photography transposes scenes by capturing a limited brightness range compared to human vision.Period 6 presentation 2

Light is a form of energy that travels in waves and can be classified as either luminous (light-emitting) or non-luminous (not light-emitting). Luminous objects like stars emit light in all directions, while non-luminous objects like the moon can only be seen when light reflects off of their surfaces. Light travels in straight lines called rays, and its interaction with materials determines whether shadows are formed and how objects appear. The document goes on to describe properties of reflection, refraction, the formation of colors, and more.Light & Reflection

Light travels in straight lines called photons at a fixed speed of 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum. Reflection occurs when light hits a surface and bounces off, either regularly like a mirror or diffusely, scattering the light. A shadow is the dark area behind an object that blocks light from directly reaching a surface, forming a two-dimensional silhouette of the object.HDR Intro

Geometric shapes use mathematical equations while organic shapes are irregular, uneven and often inspired by nature.Resistance to the Holocaust
Resistance to the HolocaustDan McDowell
油
Resistance during the Holocaust faced significant barriers due to the superior armed power of the Germans, the isolation and lack of weapons among Jews. Collective punishment policies meant that any acts of resistance would result in large-scale retaliation against the local Jewish population. Despite secrecy and deception employed by the Nazis, some Jews resisted through small acts of defiance, spiritual resistance, and partisan fighting. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising saw 750 Jewish fighters hold off German troops for 28 days, marking a turning point as it inspired others to resist through armed struggle.More Related Content

The document summarizes the transition from feudalism to capitalism in Western economic systems during the early modern era. As political stability increased, populations grew in cities and towns as serfs escaped manors to take advantage of open markets. Merchants gained more wealth than feudal lords and supported kings, shifting power. Governments adopted mercantilist policies to increase state power domestically and internationally through controlling trade and granting trading monopolies. Increased trade with colonies provided raw materials and wealth, fueling the rise of joint-stock companies and criticism of restrictions by Adam Smith who advocated for free markets and laissez-faire policies.Convergence: Islam & Hinduism in India

The Cold War began due to mutual distrust between the US and USSR following World War II. Though they allied against Hitler, ideological differences grew after the war as the Soviet Union installed communist governments across Eastern Europe and ignored promises of self-determination. Both sides wanted to spread their political and economic systems, seeing the other as inherently evil, leading to a policy of containment by the US and an arms race involving nuclear weapons that raised the stakes of a potential conflict.The War In The Pacific

The War in the Pacific 1941-1945 saw the United States and its allies including England, Australia, New Zealand, and China engage in a brutal conflict against the imperialist forces of Japan. After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the US was left with a crippled Pacific fleet and was forced to engage in a strategy of island hopping to reclaim lost territory from Japan. This strategy involved clearing Japanese forces from islands one by one to build up bases closer to Japan. Major battles included the Battle of Midway in 1942 which marked a turning point, as well as the long campaign to retake Guadalcanal from the Japanese that year. Fighting was intense as the Japanese refused to surrender and the AlliesEnd of WWII/Cold War 2008
