25 Things About Me: Snow Villiers Of Final Fantasy XIII

1. I founded NORA (No Obligation, Rules, or Authority) which started off small by hunting wild animals and turned into the rebel group fighting the Sanctum.

2. I almost tried out for the Bodhum baseball team, the Mud Frogs, and that was the same day I met Serah.

3. My Crystarium crystal is heart shaped. Not very manly if you ask meò€¦.

4. Unlike the other founders of NORA, I"m a cat person. They all prefer the smell of wet dogs in the morning. Ugh...

5. Regardless of Lightning"s disapproval of me, I plan to marry her sister, Serah Farron, because I vowed to be hers forever!

6. Everyone comments on how similar I am to Zell Dincht, but I don"t know himò€¦. Is he a Hero too?

7. You might wonder about my choice of weapon which is the very off-white trench coat I wear. Pretty cool, huh? Its government issued and enhances my natural strength depending on what emblem I have sewn on it.

8. My nickname through high school was Mr. 33cm. Why was I called that? I"d like to think it"s related to something cooler than my shoe size.

9. Things I like to do in my spare time: play Punch Out, make ice-cream, and get in a lot of training breaking down ice sculptures! Hey, the coat can only do so much for my strengthò€¦.

10. I like going fast which is why I have a collection of motorcycles. I even have the one that Cloud Strife drove in Midgar.

11. When I can listen to music, I prefer most rock and some jazz. Living so close to the beach and hearing beach music daily has killed my interest in it.

12. I"m a very patriotic guy, who also happens to have a soft spot for the less fortunate. So remember to vote for me in the next election!

13. My favorite emblem set is Save the Queen because it makes me feel like a Hero.

14. In Cocoon, I hold the record for having the biggest feet and sure glad I don"t have to compete against Robert Wadlow, whose feet is bigger than mine, a record breaking 47cm!

15. I have a lot of respect for women like Lightning and Hope"s mom. Lightning is one tough cookie while Hope"s mom showed me she would do anything for her son.

16. Growing up, I was always the kid that others turned to for help. You could say that I was like a protector.

17. There are a couple Latin phrases I really believe in: Carpe Diem (Seize the day) and Meum pactum dictum (My word is my bond).

18. Out of all the Eidolons, I believe I got the best one. What more can an avid motorcycle fan such as myself ask for than the two Shiva sisters?

19. I have to say my cooking is pretty good that even Lightning admits to liking them. My specialty dish is the fried cactuar with apricot sauce.

20. After becoming a I"Cie, I found out that I didn"t need to use Hand Grenades anymore. Which is a shame as throwing those were how I practiced my pitching skills.

21. The fashion police have knocked on my door before. Apparently, if you wear an off-white trench coat and black bandanna while sporting a stubble, it"s a crime.

22. Despite how I act in front of hundreds of people, I do suffer from stage fright. But I learned this cool trick from an old friend: picture everyone in their underwear. Don"t ask me how it helpsò€¦.

23. My favorite things to snack on when I can"t cook are string cheese, Ritz crackers, and banana bread.

24. How strong am I? Let"s just say that even carrying two people while I"m running won"t slow me down.

25. I tend to let my emotions get the best of me. Like when I heard the news of there being no sequel to the Chrono Cross game. I spent days using most monsters as a punching bag to vent how I felt.

Tripods - The Photographer'S Best Friends

What a tripod is doing is to create a very stable platform that the camera you have can use and allow you to take long exposures and not have the risk that the camera will shake and spoil the picture you take. Of course, you could just rest the camera somewhere, but with the help of the tripod, you could lock the camera in any position and you dont have to be afraid that the camera will fall over. But you might ask yourself how long would a long exposure be? The factor is the camera shake. Long exposure is considered one which you can not hand-hold steady enough. For example, if you zoom out to wide angle, the time can be somewhere at 1/30 to 1/60th of a second however, if you zoom right in on one long lens, it can be very short, 1/600th or 1/1000th from a second. You might think this is not a very long exposure. Maybe we need a new term for tripod"s little here. Probably you noticed that sports photographers that are doing long lens, they usually work with amono pod, instead of a tripod, on their cameras. Thats not because mono pods are better, but because of their convenience in changing locations really quickly which outweighs the advantages that a tripod brings. Hence, a mono pod is really useful only if you need some quickly shots on a long lens , taken from different positions. Even if you use a tripod, there is a chance that the camera will move while you take the shot. Thats because the act of pressing on the shutter may cause movement. Even if this will be slight, the effect of magnifying of the lens will transform it to camera blur or shake blur. One way to avoid this phenomenon is using a cable release or a remote control when you use a tripod. The camera"s self timer can also be used in case you dont have any of these. So in the case where the camera moves at the time when you press the shutter, this will have settled long time before the photograph actually is taken. Some of the cameras do have a self timer option precisely for this purpose, also called a short self timer. A longer shutter speed gives you benefits in the sense that a smaller aperture can be used for some greater depth of field or you can use a lower ISO for better quality. But, its a minor benefit compared to the psychological one brought by the tripod to the process of taking a photo. Simply using a tripod will slow you down, but that"s a beneficial thing. Havent you looked at a photo and said: "it looks great, but there is one little mistake, that I wish I had spotted at that time." So, that"s one helpful thing that the tripod brings. The explanation for you noticing the problem is that more time is spent by you carefully looking at the pictureafter you have taken it. Its always easier to spot mistakes after you made them. I hope that, people will understand the need of a tripod and its usefulness. The best thing I can advice to anybody is to get a tripod and use it in order to improve the skills ofphotographing.
