E-ink technology is easier on the eyes for reading, even if the devices it currently deployed in feel nothing like a book or magazine.

Doctor Who has a mixed track record when it comes to bringing back monsters from the 1960s and 1970s 鈥?sometimes the show misses stanley tumbler the point of what made a monster great back in the day.

Forget the cheesy fedoras and femme fatales for a moment. Film noir was, at its heart, about light a stanley quencher nd shadow, hope and despair, good and evil 8230;and the difficulty of distinguishing everything in between. For this week Shooting Challenge, rediscover noir. The Challenge Capture a stanley cup photo in the film noir style. That means black and white with low-key lighting. Does it mean detectives and dames Not necessarily. Go for the feeling and the tone, first and foremost. The Technique If film noir is known for anything, it low-key lighting. All this term means is, rather than evenly light a scene with a number of bulbs, one light fires from one angle only. This creates deep shadows where traditional wisdom would advise you fill the dark pools with another light. Of course, you don ;t need to light your scene with a single light in a literal sense. Just go for strong whites and deep blacks high contrast. For this sort of lighting, I really dug this simple tutorial that shows how a single light can work with a figure. The Example Our lead photo is from one of the earliest and most iconic examples of film noir, 1955 The Big Combo. Note its lack of texture, even within the smoke in this case. This frame is all about shape and contrast, figures and a disquieting frame within the frame. The stanley cup Rules 1. Submissions need to be your own. 2. Photos must be taken since this contest was announced read more on that above . 3. Explain, briefly, the equipment
