The Confused History of Sequels That Use "Too" Instead of "2"
Features By Christopher Campbell on June 19, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThis may just be a pet peeve involving semantics, but the use of the word "too" in sequel titles over the past 30 years has been really irritating. The logical reason for having a title ending in the word — as opposed to the explanation that it's simply different from using the homophonic number, as "2," "II" or "Two" — is to indicate that the new movie is not so much a continuation of the original as a fresh start with a similar protagonist or premise. "Too" in this case means "also," as in another. Sure, it can also mean "more," but it makes greater sense if Think Like a Man Too is about new characters who must think like men rather than the same guys who must further think like men. But it isn't. I'm not sure of any kind of literary precedent to the "too" sequel prior to Hollywood's apparent first use in 1984. There isn't an easy way to filter through the history of books for examples. But it is something that occurs, and just recently there was a work of erotic fiction called "Checking Her Cherry, Too," which must be commended for getting the usage correct. According to the official description on Amazon, "It's not necessary to have read the first 'Checking Her Cherry' to enjoy this story, but after reading it, you'll certainly want to! This sequel features different characters, but shares the same title theme." Clearly it's not too difficult to understand when "too" is appropriate […]
The Hidden Real People Behind 6 Famous Comedians
Cinematic Listology By Ashe Cantrell on September 29, 2011 | Comments (11)There's an old maxim that states that everyone in show business is fake. The traditional interpretation of that is that everyone in Hollywood is ready to be kind to your face, but stab you in the back and probably piss on the wound. That may be an exaggeration, but in the case of these 6 comedians, though, they really are fake. As in literally fake. Their public personae are carefully crafted, and you only occasionally see the real person behind it. Most of the time it's just an extension of the person's actual personality, but some of them are completely and totally fictitious people. For example, Bono is an experimental attention-seeking robot. Or take Neil Patrick Harris, who is actually a shaved ferret. You had no idea, right? Here are six comedians that almost never break the fourth wall to reveal their true selves.

Psychiatrist, MD
"My specialty is related to the treatment I provide instead of focusing on a specific diagnosis. I provide the comprehensive care that comes from one clinician integrating both psychotherapy and medication treatments. Many psychiatrists no longer incorporate psychotherapy into their practice and have become specialists in medication management only. Modern medication is important in the treatment of psychiatric illnesses, but psychotherapy is a scientifically proven treatment as well. Studies indicate that patients treated with the combination of these two modalities show the most improvement. The one-clinician approach also provides the convenience of "one stop shopping".

"It is not uncommon to find ourselves somehow off track and disconnected from who we thought we were. Our relationships may seem stuck and deeply unsatisfying. We feel lost and unsure of our place in the world. This may be accompanied by feelings of depression, anxiety or as physical problems. It can be experienced as a deep alienation, sadness and suffering. When we are called to make a change and resist, it can cause havoc in our lives; this can happen whether the change is in the outer circumstances of our life, our inner attitude, our world view, or some combination.

Some of you may have seen my thread in electric brewing but this forum seems more fitting. After months of debating on the system design I think I finally have it. (Fingers Crossed) I moved from an electric three vessel HERMS, to what will be a two vessel electric automated HERMS. I wanted to reduce the size of the brewery but continue to be able to do 12 gallon batches or 8 gallon big beers. I plan on using my current keggles but rebuilding them once the design is complete. I will be based off the Brewtroller 3.3, which was picked due to the volume sensors and 1-wire temp sensors. After watching the youtube videos operation of the system doesn't seem to be an issue. I had been struggling with design setup as each time I made a diagram I would find an issue. I was also not looking to clone a current design out there. I was amazed by rebab25's single pump b20, but after talking with him realized it was more trouble then it was worth. Below is my final valve diagram, if you see anything wrong please point it out. DO NOT be shy, as I plan on diagramming out and only buying the parts I need. Not shown are a few check valves just to avoid any flow back.
Over 80 views and no comments Anyone want to just chime in and say that this layout will work. Then I can start gathering parts.
A minimal valve and pump design would need 5 valves in the wort path, and 2 in the water for auto fill and chill. You can get by with one pump, 2 float switches to alternate sparge and flow to BK for a minimalist control scheme with a Brutus 20 setup. If you use a tube type CFC chiller in series with the HERMS coil then the 2 valves for water control could automate fill and chill without plumbing or hose changes. The CFC could be sterilized by pumping boiling wort to bring it up to temp, then starting cooling water flow. The configuration would be like the letter "H" on its side, pump and HERMS coil in the middle , and valves in horizontal arms controlling flow to and from the respective kettles. The fifth valve would be tee'd in above the pump to direct wort to the fermenter after cooling.
As much as I appreciate the comment, a picture is worth a thousand words. If I'm understanding you correctly I can eliminate a switch by adding two float valves? I'm going to be using the pressure sensor of brewtroller for volume readings, so I will likely avoid float valves. Would it be too much to ask you to draw out what your saying? I think for simplistic reasons I will stick with two pumps, but if you have a diagram that spells things out I'd like to see it
It will have to be monday before I can CAD up the diagram at work, sorry. Level measurement with the bubble tube sensors is a better method than float switches, with the idea of shifting a gallon at a time between kettles during sparge cycle, and finally pumping out the MLT the design approach.
Here is a quick and dirty sketch in Paint of what I was talking about
I would assume efficiency with constant recirc and temp control would improve. Plus with the system being automated, I can truly learn how my system brews, not much room for human error. That way I can adjust my recipes for my system. The goal is to have a system that I will not want to upgrade in 2 years like I've done with all my previous setups. Also with the hopes of some day moving indoors (still trying to get that one past the wife) it will take up a much smaller footprint.
I have decided to break up my wiring into two boxes: 240v Box (located on the brewstand): - Main Power Input - 2x Dryer Outlets - 8x 3P MIC connectors - 8P MIC ( Connects to Relay board in CP - 8 Valve Signals ) - 8P MIC ( Connects to Relay board in CP - Element Trigger, 120v, Neutral, Ground, vDC+, vDC-, 2x Pump trigger) - 4x 40A SSR + Heatsink (2x used at 30A, can upgrade to 4x when 50A available) Control Panel: - Brewtroller - DC PSU - 16 port relay board - DC Airpump / Sensor Still haven't decided if I want to run temp probes to the 240v or directly to CP.

HINESBURG-The Hinesburg Fire Department was officially organized in 1943 by a small group of volunteers. It was wartime, and few able bodied men were available to help fight fires. But the community responded and the tradition of a sustained firefighting effort was established.
The Town of Hinesburg has a volunteer fire department that averages 30 to 35 active members. The members are all from within the town; they are dedicated to serving the community in which they live as firefighters and first responder/EMTs.
The mission of the HFD is clear. It's mission statement says: "As first responders to fires, medical emergencies, disasters, and other public safety issues, Hinesburg Fire Department protects the lives and property of Hinesburg residents and visitors, promotes public safety through its fire prevention and health care education programs and offers timely delivery of these services to enable HFD to make significant contributions to the safety of Hinesburg and surrounding communities."
Fire Chief Al Barber expressed that the overall mission as volunteer firefighters and first responders is to assure the citizens of Hinesburg that fire, rescue, and medical services will continue to be the highest quality available in order to meet our community's expectations of the greatest level of protection and care at a reasonable expense.
The HFD covers all fire, medical, HAZMAT and heavy rescue calls for the Town of Hinesburg and the Town of St. George in southern Chittenden County. It also provides mutual aid to surrounding towns in both Chittenden and Addison counties as needed.
The HFD responds to approximately 450 calls per year according to Barber. The HFD has a first response license with Vermont that allows its medically certified members to respond to medical emergencies and car accidents to treat patients while waiting for the responding ambulance.
Hinesburg does not have its own ambulance, which makes the department's first responders a very valuable asset to the community.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Visions of America Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Notes to the Designer […] a monumental monstrosity peculiar to our times, a huge console combination of radio-phonograph (hi-fi with three speakers) TV set and liquor cabinet, bearing and containing many glasses and bottles, all in one piece […] This piece of furniture (?!), this monument, is a very complete and compact little shrine to virtually all the comforts and illusions behind which we hide from such things as the characters in the play are faced with…. (Notes.16.36-47)
The console is a focal point of the set. Williams makes a point of drawing our attention to it so that we know exactly where it is and what it is. The console contrasts greatly with the history that surrounds it. In a house that is over 100 years old, the console represents modernity and all of the latest technology. It represents a "new" America that is in love with sensory-enticing technology and that is capable of producing multi-functional things. Each of the functions (the TV set, the radio-phonograph, and the alcohol) serves to both drown out reality and to connect the watcher, listener, and drinker to others. By making a point of describing this console, Williams shows us exactly what Americans were interested in during the 1950s.
STAGE DIRECTION A phone is ringing in hall. A Negro voice answers: "Mistuh Polly's res'dence." (I.45.653-654)
One of the few times we hear the voice of an African-American character, it seems important that the voice is detached from the actual speaker. As an audience, we hear the voice without seeing who speaks it. As a reader, we see the racist stereotype of the manner of speaking demonstrated, and we notice that the "Negro voice" does not belong to a character with a name. Here, this character is naming the owner of the house. In this way, we see the power structure between the Pollitt family and its maids more clearly.
STAGE DIRECTION Negroes in white jackets enter with an enormous birthday cake ablaze with candles and carrying buckets of champagne with satin ribbons about the bottle necks. (I.68.131-133)
Here we see further one-dimensional, derogatory depictions of African-Americans, and we also see the exorbitant wealth and luxury on which the Pollitt family live. This wealth, taken in conjunction with the fertility we see evidenced by the many children running and around and by the success of the Pollitt plantation, becomes bizarre when juxtaposed with the encroachment of death.

DH has either sensitive skin or allergies or both. Finally went to family doc, who did NOT think the rash had anything to do with our hot tub, even though DH told him that I get in the hot tub with him, and nothing happens to MY skin. Prescribed cortisone cream, which took care of rash with two applications.
Got back in hot tub yesterday, and rash returned. We can't afford an allergist and wonder if anyone knows of a particular chemical used in hot tubs that would cause this problem. Thanks. chery-va |

We had this after a hotel stay. Skin Doctor said it was from bacteria in the water. I would drain your tub, clean and refill. Bet it will help. Judy Good |

Some people are sensitive to the bromine that is used in most hot tubs. Check all the systems and have the water tested. |
There are a lot of different sanitizing chemicals for hot tubs. Chlorine, bromine, etc. If you get a particular cartridge for your tub's filter (can't think of names right now...) you can reduce the amount of chlorine/bromine used. Do a bit of web research and experiment with different brands/formulations. Also could be the heat - how hot is your tub? Try it a little lower, maybe. We keep ours around 95, unless it's really cold outside, in which case it's 100. My DH's sensitive skin doesn't do well with prolonged heat exposure. |

Nature 2 is the cartridge....this should help alot because of the small amount of chemicals....But you ph may be low which would also account for the rash..Hot tubs should be drained every 4 months and rebalanced.... |

There may be also another reason of your problem that cleaning of hot tub is not done in proper manner.You have to clean your hot tub by vinegar and also wash it with products which are available in market.Proper cleaning and maintenance of hot tubs is must. |

Tarot cards have been used to predict people's fortunes since the 15th century. Typically, the cards depict a character of whatever the card's name is. For example, the Wizard would feature a Merlin-esque portrait.
However, Russian designer Anton Shlyonkin decided to redo the prophetic playing cards to reveal typography instead. Due to their symbolic nature, Shlyonkin saw this as quite the undertaking. He explained, "The Lovers is a Gemini ruling card. So, to express its dual nature, I made an ambigram." At the same time, he also took some creative liberties with the tarot cards. The Force, for example, has a decidedly 1980s science fiction film feel.
Shlyonkin custom designed every letter particularly for this project.

I love, love, love these shoes! They fit my wide foot better than any other style and the hot pink color matches my Dachshund cell phone case perfectly. It also matches my miniature Dachshunds collar and harness so when we go for walks we match.
Not very roomy
I do like these because they're cuter than the regular clog style. I wear a wide width shoe and have a terrible time finding a cute Crocs shoe that will fit me. But these are supposed to be "Roomy" and they don't feel like it. They feel like barely a "Relaxed" size. I still wear them when I'm going out somewhere that I don't want to wear the regular clog style but on a hot day when my feet tend to swell they get really tight. Tossing them in the dryer for a few minutes before I put them on does help some though. But they definitely are not Roomy. PLEASE start making more cute styles in a wider width!
A little snug
I like these but had to go a size larger than normal to be able to get my foot into it. They also aren't nearly as comfy on the bottom and the Classic Croc clog style is. My feet hurt on the bottom after a long walk. They're ok for slipping on to run out to take the dog out or take the garbage out but I wouldn't wear them if I had to walk any distance.

Thank you to everyone who entered our Sixth Anniversary giveaway – I loved reading all your answers as to why you love romances. It was a total celebration in the comments – thank you!! And special thanks to Kate who sent me an email with a gift:
Okay, I know you know Maureen Johnson, and perhaps you are aware of her proud tradition of #crapfts?
In honor of your sixth anniversary, I have crapfted you a (virtual) present:
It depicts, as you can see (well, maybe you can), a heroine with flowing golden tresses and huge blue eyes and a rosebud mouth.* She is clutching to her (heaving) bosom a romance novel, because romance novels are the true love of her life.
* There is also the possibility that it's Fabio in a pink evening gown.
You will note that there is also a rainbow emerging from her backside. I considered blue flames or the more traditional oddly-colored mist, but in the end a rainbow seemed most appropriate. I did include the traditional rearing horse, although I almost gave up on him because horses turn out to be surprisingly difficult to draw in MS Paint.
I drew this just to amuse myself, but I've been laughing at it for half an hour now, so I thought I'd share. Happy anniversary! Thanks for all you've given us in the last six years.
Oh, my GOD, you guys. Feast your eyes on this! (Click to embiggenate.) Thank you, Kate!
So with that pink crowning achievement looming over us, it's time to announce the winner of the giveaway! The winner, drawn by the Random Integer Generator, wins 4lbs of chocolate covered cherries, an iron, a 5lb bag of wood, and a Hello Kitty vibrator – because the traditional and modern gifts for a sixth anniversary are candy, iron, and wood! And the winner is… Pam at 10:42am! Congratulations Pam – please email me at sarahATsmartbitchestrashybooksDOTcom with your mailing address, so you can enjoy some ironing, chocolate, and, um, wood
Thank you to everyone who entered for both the anniversary wishes and the wonderful reminders of how much we love romance and why. I have joked that the romance readership is so diverse that the only thing to romance readers may have in common with one another is a book they both liked, but after reading that list, I'm reminded that we have a lot more in common than just books. Thanks for coming by every day to celebrate and giggle and critique and comment upon romance. Happy anniversary to you!

Photography Courses for Kids
We just love kids! And we know what it is like to be a kid with a passion to photograph anything and everything! Today in the digital world it's even easier to give your kid the camera to shoot as many photos as he could, unlike the old film days when it was too expensive to do that.
Miriam Shaker, the co-founder of The Photo Makeup, not only has the passion for but also the experience. She has been doing this for more than 3 years now. With both school kids and underprivileged kids as well.
Photography is not just so exciting for any kid, it also helps kids see and engage in the world around them differently and helps grown ups around them see the world through their eyes. Photography introduces kids to so many things in life like light, shadows, textures, colors, perspective, compositions, sizes, proportions, beauty, and the list goes on.
In our course we introduce the kids to everything photography from the history of photography, through the anatomy of the camera, to composition, the role of light, and not just that we also give them an idea about photo editing on the computer (depending on their age and computer knowledge.)
We offer courses for schools and we also hold courses at our studio.
The Photo Makeup Team

In metallurgy, refining is the process of removing impurities from a material such as silver ore or mined gold. When impurities are removed, the result is a stronger, richer, more desirable material. Metal refining does not cause a chemical change in a material. It remains chemically identical to the original, only more pure, more of what it's supposed to be.
In this week's scripture reading, Malachi writes of God purifying his people, "refining them like gold or silver." Malachi, of course, is refering to the refining of our souls, removing impurities so that we more closely resemble who we were created to be. Christians believe this means to be more authentically Christ-like. God desires that we remove impurities so that the light of Christ shines through our life more brilliantly.
Where might we begin in our own refining process? For Catholics a regular Examination of Conscience and use of the Sacrament of Reconciliation would make a good start.

The minds behind The Bookstore Speakeasy know that the Roaring Twenties were about more than drinking bathtub gin and trying not to accidentally bathe in bathtub gin. The restaurant fully immerses patrons in the period, lighting their tables with candles and oil lamps and filling their ears with the bombast of live 1920s- and '30s-style jazz. And the bartenders behind their copper counter give a nod to the bootleggers of the past by preparing classic cocktails such as the Manhattan, the Rob Roy, and the Old Fashioned with fresh juices and hand-carved ice.
Yet the sizable selection of craft beers demonstrates the restaurant's willingness to incorporate some contemporary touches into the speakeasy experience, as does its menu of snacks and entrees. Between sips, groups can share artisanal meats and cheeses, crabmeat-stuffed mushrooms, and flatbreads topped with duck confit, plum-barbecue sauce, and smoked gouda.
Julie Berger's memories are saturated with images of dancers— teachers who inspired her, students she worked with, and professionals she revered. Entranced by the beautiful and transformative art form, Julie practiced dance throughout her life, attending intensive dance programs, performing in competitions, and teaching at local dance centers. Julie discovered salsa dancing while studying in England, and she instantly fell in love with its sultry movements and lively steps. Determined to share the newfound style with others, Julie founded her own salsa-dancing studio.
At Salsa in the Suburbs Dance Studio, Julie and her staff of passionate dancers lead classes in a variety of styles, including salsa, ballroom, and belly dance. The instructors work with students of all levels, helping them master form, technique, and rhythms. The teachers also offer children's classes in ballet, tap, and Zumba, ideal for youngsters trying to be more active or hoping to include a lively dance section in their next chemistry presentation.
Determined to pursue a career in the culinary arts, executive chef Evan Kechely mastered his craft in the kitchens of restaurants, country clubs, assisted-living facilities, farmers' markets, and other venues, opting to learn by doing rather than attending culinary school. His experiences shaped his ingredient-driven and sustainable approach to meals, leading him to fill Leaf's menu with farm-to-plate options built from locally sourced meats and produce. Kechely has also learned that beer and food go together as well as camping and boy-scout repellant, and his staff is able to recommend a brew for any dish on the menu. In addition to pairing suds with the various dishes, staffers can suggest premium cigars that can enhance flavor profiles. The eatery's advanced ventilation system even allows visitors to indulge in a puff without disturbing neighboring patrons or forcing them to stare at failed smoke-ring attempts.
An Exotic Ambiance
Bolts of crimson and green fabric embellished with golden patterns adorn the walls of Fez Moroccan Restaurant. Seated atop cushioned stools, diners surround the room's low-slung circular tables as Moroccan music echoes throughout the space and Friday and Saturday evenings herald the arrival of belly dancers. Collectively, these elements create an unmistakably Morroccan atmosphere.
A Feast for the Senses
As evidenced by the swirling aromas of saffron, honey and almonds, and harissa-cumin sauces, the chefs are equally committed to the task of capturing the essence of Morocco. In addition to the selection of kabobs and tagines, the menu features a variety of vegetarian as well as meat-laden couscous dishes. The savory smells mingle with the slightly sweet smoke of the fruit-flavored shisha smoldering in the hookahs.
What Do the Experts Say About Fez Moroccan Restaurant?
At two locations, Top Hat Dance Studio's passionate team of nationally certified teachers inspires dancers of all skill levels to shuffle off to Buffalo while hustling, salsaing, and waltzing across the dance floor. During group lessons, skilled instructors teach guests to untangle left feet while performing intricate, stylized choreography in the Lancaster location's two-step, ballet, and West Coast swing classes or the Philadelphia location's salsa, bachata, and advanced-level chicken-dance classes. Fledgling fleetfooters can supplement group sessions with private lessons, during which feet will learn to tap out Morse-code messages to a far-away dance partner while sharpening skills with one-on-one instruction. In addition to these dance classes, instructors also specialize in preparing engaged couples for their first dance and offer a number of specially designed youth programs.
Countless fiber-optic cables comprise a titanic custom chandelier in Vango Lounge & Sky Bar's main dining room, casting a glow over tufted-velvet walls and plates of Japanese continental cuisine. During a typical meal, yellowtail and grilled vegetables may top small plates of crostini, and wasabi mashed potatoes sidle up to larger entrees such as braised-beef short ribs in sweet teriyaki sauce. As chefs compose eel and avocado rolls or slice delicate pieces of salmon sushi, bartenders mix specialty cocktails, such as the Sundance with Absolut Raspberri and Godiva white-chocolate liqueur. Luxe decorations—including wall nooks that display sleek bottles of vodka and a wall that holds 200 inlaid fresh roses every night—dapple the 8,000-square-foot lounge. Upstairs on the roof deck, revelers can admire the surrounding skyline from a seat at the bar, boogie on the dance floor to nightly DJs, or secretly read comic books under the covers of king-size lounge beds.

Doctor Who To Be Axed, Again
Re:Let the SCi FI Channel Make it (304 comments)
What little charm remains to Doctor Who is entirely lost to the American monster that is the American television industry - just look at that awful test pilot and you'll see what you Americans deserve when it comes Doctor Who. Anyone who suggest that the Sci-Fi channel can make it deserves another twenty years of Star Trek with continual Nazi episdodes and/or trapped in the Holodesk stories. If it wasn't for the last film, I'd say that you didn't deserve Batman after what you've done to him!
It would end up as a cross between McGuiver and Start Trek. There'd be a alien love affair in every episode, compulsory self congratualtory moral superiority and all problems would be solved by reversing the polarity on the sonic screwdriver. Bad guys would have the doctor pontify against them in each episode before sending them to space jail and the Tradis would become a flying sports car.

Well, it's official 2013 is no more, hello to 2014. What better way to remember 2013 than to make a family year photo book? Sound daunting going through all of those images? It doesn't have to be at all when you have a plan. We asked Adoramapix member Jennie Canzoneri on how to make the Family Yearbook.
The Perfect Family Yearbook
When you hear "yearbook," you likely think of the book you passed around to all your high school friends, watching it get filled with promises to "stay in touch" and "be friends forever."
Thanks to AdoramaPix (and all those ridiculous high school memories), I'm reclaiming the word "yearbook" to mean a photo book filled with memories from any given year. Something to proudly display now instead of something to gather dust in my attic forever.
A few years ago, I set out to make a photo book to remember the previous year, and I wanted to pick the perfect photo website. I wanted ease of use but, more importantly, I wanted a quality book I could look at with fondness for years to come. A book I could pass along to my son one day, too, since we started this family yearbook tradition when he was barely two years old. These would become the books of his life.
I found AdoramaPix through a Pinterest search, and I spent the next few days (okay, maybe weeks, I'm a bit of a perfectionist!) putting my first book together. Now that I have three of these books under my belt, I have some tips to help you put together a yearbook you'll love, as well.
Organize your photos as you upload them to your computer! Thankfully, iPhoto does this for me, but I take it a step further and flag (and try to edit in real time) every photo that I think may end up in the yearbook, so that when it's time to upload to AdoramaPix, I'm uploading from one folder and not a dozen different places.
I make a list of the events I want to highlight. I usually include birthdays, vacations, holidays, and special occasions, but I also try to fill in a few extra "general" pages: a page dedicated to the friends that made our year special, my son's first few soccer seasons, etc. Writing this list before I start my yearbook helps ensure I don't forget any important events and that my book's in the order I want it.
This is probably the most important one, but pick up your camera throughout the year! Because of these yearbooks, I leave the house with my camera more often. Not just my phone's camera, which we're all a little too dependent on these days, am I right? But my other, fancier cameras too. Camera photos work just fine in the AdraoamaPix books, I should say, but I like to add more "professional" photos, as well.
Once you have all your photos uploaded to AdromaPix, and you begin laying out your yearbook, I suggest you make it as unique as possible. Change the spreads around, add fun graphics, adjust photo sizes, and make the fonts what you want them to be. The default yearbook is awesome, and if you're stretched thin, it'll make a fabulous book. But when I get my book in my hands, it feels that much more special because of how unique I've made it.
I've introduced a ton of family traditions over the years (breakfast for dinner on Christmas Eve, a huge brunch on Easter morning, lighting Chinese lanterns on birthdays) but our family yearbook through AdroamaPix is easily one of my favorites.
Thanks to member Jennie Canzoneri for her help on how to create the family yearbook.

She lives in one of the most scenic areas in the world and photographs weddings in adverse weather conditions – most notably, the snow. Anastasia Chomlack is from Whistler, British Columbia and she believes whole heartedly in capturing weddings and love with the natural environment that is Whistler. This includes beautiful green pine trees in the summer and breathtaking, snow capped mountains in the winter. Anastasia gives us a few tips on photographing in the snow and cold.
This goes for the photographer and the client.
I used to apologize to the bride when I was dressed in boots, and layered in jackets and sweaters and she was in a dress… but honestly the warmer I am- the more patient I can be, the more time and care I can take to get the right photo. When photographing a wedding outside my best friends are my fingerless gloves and I have stopped apologizing for that!
Even though the dress may be strapless or lightweight I always encourage my brides who want snow photos to bring warm accessories that make sense in the snow; warm yet cute boots- a shawl, wrap or small jacket- even mittens… I want to take photos that are authentic and real- not just set up and styled. A bride freezing and underdressed in the snow just does not make sense:)
2. Know your snow, and communicate it to your couple.
Small flakes will fall for longer and often that means its colder… large flakes will soon turn to rain and will not last for long. Communicate all of this to your client. The bride in this photo wanted to have the large snowflakes- they started to fall literally minutes before the ceremony- I immediately went to the couple and told them this was the window for large snowflakes and also told them that if we took the photos now they would be wet for the ceremony- They went for it- we spent five minutes outside, the guests loved the opportunity to watch the couple run outside in the snow and these photos were the brides favorites even if her hair was wet for the vows.
I make sure to share all of the different weather possibilities with my couples- and never promise a clean or dry dress after photos. There are so many unknowns when photographing in the winter- it is best to be prepared for anything!
The white dress on the white background can be tricky with the light reflecting off the snow creating highly reflective surfaces. When photographing in the snow I am watching my histogram more then the image itself- knowing that to to get white snow your graph should be roughly in the middle, and to the right.
Especially in the snow you need to remember that you are smarter than your camera- your camera will want to expose to the bright snow and end up creating underexposed photos.
Another tip is to be aware of the time of day- I do everything I can to not shoot in harsh sunlight during these sessions- always location scouting to make sure I can find open shade.
Moving inside and outside for ceremony, reception and outdoor photos can create condensation and fogging which could limit your readiness to capture an important moment. Knowing my schedule is important- and I try to keep a second camera for indoors ready to go- so that my outdoor camera can warm up gradually to avoid condensation.
Another trick is to invest in some silica bags to put in your camera bag to quicken the drying up.
The cold will also make your batteries drain more quickly so pack extra batteries on cold days!
5. Go with it.5.
We're so excited to announce that all our custom cover photo books are now available in even numbered page counts. This is the first time we have ever offered this service since we first started producing photo books back in December of 2008. You can now choose between 14 and 76 pages. You have the freedom to build the book you want, without compromising on the beauty and durability you've come to expect from AdoramaPix.
Adding extra pages in PixPublisher is easy. All books now start with the minimum 14 pages. Click on the +/- icon at the bottom right corner of the editor screen to add any number of additional spreads to your book. There is a fixed cost for each spread, and the new total cost for your book is reflected in the upper right of the editor on the order button. Once you've added pages beyond the minimum of 14, you can remove pages in the same way and just as easily.
We believe this small change will make a big difference when it comes to designing photo books with Adoramapix.
