indication that they do well in comparison with other makes. Nevertheless, they undergo many improvements during the following years.Nowadays we all know the brand which is similar to high quality camera-lenses

Fishing around the Southpole


When the commercial whaling moratorium was introduced by the IWC in 1982, Japan lodged an official objection, but withdrew this objection in 1987 after the United States threatened it with sanctions. Therefore, in 1987, Japan stopped commercial whaling activities in Antarctic waters, but in the same year began a controversial scientific whaling program Japan's scientific whaling program has remained controversial, with conservation groups and anti-whaling countries such as the US and Australia maintaining that the number of animals killed is much greater than demanded by scientific purposes and that the real reason for the scientific kills is to provide whale meat for Japanese restaurants and supermarkets. The Japanese government points out that IWC regulations require that whale meat be utilised upon the completion of research. The Japanese government insists that it be allowed to continue research into whale populations and breeding habits in order to refute claims that commercial whaling threatens the sustainability of the populations. In 1994, Australia attempted to stop some of the Japanese whaling program by enforcing a 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around the Australian Antarctic Territory. However, Antarctic territories are not generally recognized internationally.  Starting in 2007, Japan plans to harvest up to 50 humpback whales and 50 fin whales annually.



The park theater


Stagecraft is a generic term referring to the technical aspects of theatrical, film, and video production. It includes, but is not limited to, constructing and rigging scenery, hanging and focusing of lighting, design and procurement of costumes, makeup, procurement of props, stage management, and recording and mixing of sound. Stagecraft is distinct from the wider umbrella term of scenography. Considered a technical rather than an artistic field, it relates primarily to the practical implementation of a designer's artistic vision. In its most basic form, stagecraft is managed by a single person who arranges all scenery, costumes, lighting, and sound, and organizes the cast.

Avila the roof of Spain



Tips:
Work towards the best possible production value for your videos to ensure viewers don’t click away just because you’ve ignored basic production best practices (lighting, sound quality, shot-framing).
Make sure your video’s audio and sound recordings are clear and balanced. Properly light your video so it’s easy for viewers to see.
Edit and Condense
Depending on your content, your audience, and your objectives for the video, the right editing style, technique, and execution will vary.
Only include necessary footage in your videos. This is a subjective, creative decision, but assess whether any part of the video can be edited, trimmed, or condensed to improve the overall quality.
Avoid sloppy editing. It can be more distracting and difficult for the viewer to watch than if there were no editing at all.

Post-production, or postproduction, is part of the process of filmmaking, video production, and photography. It occurs in the making of motion pictures, television programs, radio programs, advertising, audio recordings, photography, and digital art. Post-production includes all stages of production occurring after shooting or recording individual program segments.

Traditional (analogue) post-production has mostly been replaced by video editing software that operates on a non-linear editing system (NLE).

Dutch Remix


The footage I used in this remix of mine, comes from internet blogs and the sound from a radiocast from a famous Dutch DJ who on his turn had a German artist in his studio who remixed popular soccersongs from the Netherlands. Mambo Kurt is a German artist who does covers various mainstream and classical/modern Rock hits. . but when he plays the covers , he does them a little different from the usual type of song, as he plays a Hammond Organ, generally has a squeaky out of tune voice (which is actually his main selling point, due to the fact that his songs are actually catchier than the originals)

It is hard to convince others that you are a professional using top-rate technology when your equipment appears to be the same as a squealing teenager snapping a shot of a pop star at a concert or a father trying to capture his baby’s first steps in the park. The number one thing that separates the pros from the amateurs, however, is gear that enhances the iPhone’s capabilities and provides
filmmakers with the flexibility and adaptability that they need. However, there are some benefits for filmmaking on an iPhone.

Hi-definition video cameras have recently arrived (1080i) which, like high definition television screens, will provide the best of quality and image resolution.
The trend today is toward replaceable memory cards for recording, or internal hard-drives built into the camera. This provides maximum versatility, high recording time options, and few mechanical breakdown possibilities, not to mention minimizing problems with condensation affecting the recording (tape) media of previous generations. The subsequent files may be easily transferred to a computer and edited with low-cost software solutions (and a reasonably high performance computer and video card). The subsequent results may be transferred to a CD or DVD (and more recently Blu- ray Disc) for easy distribution or archiving.

Erzgebirge/oremountains


The Ore Mountains were virtually unsettled during the Middle Ages and covered with dense forests. In the 15th century the discovery of silver and tin deposits led to the settlement of the mountains and the foundation of cities. The name is derived from the richness in mineral resources. Segmented Erz- gebirge, the name takes Erz- from the Tuscan city Arezzo, which produced such fine metal that its name became the German word for metal. Gebirge are "mountains." Today the mountains are also a popular winter sports resort.

The Ore Mountains are famous for many Christmas traditions. As the silver and tin deposits declined, former miners had to look for new ways to feed their families. In
addition to lace making and weaving, the inhabitants went into wood carving. Nutcrackers, "smoking men", "pyramids" (carousels with figures of the Christmas story or from mining) and Schwibbogen (wooden arcs with candles in the windows, symbolising the opening of a mine) are some of many Christmas goods made in the Ore Mountains. Seiffen in the East Ore Mountains was a centre of the wooden toy industry.
