3款时髦发 任何脸型都能变小V脸

       脸型可以靠发型来修饰这个大家都知道的，可是每次到了发型屋剪了个“瘦脸发型”，没过几天就变了个样。有没有一些简便的DIY方法，让发型恢复瘦脸效果呢？

你经常羡慕那些瓜子脸的女生吗?有没有发现现在满大街都是小脸MM?今天小编为你介绍3个发型重点，无论你是哪种脸型，只要简单的2步，就可以DIY最适合你的瘦脸发型，你也可以拥有小V脸噢!


point1：蓬松发尾显小V脸
瘦脸重点：发量多的人往往有个错误的想法，就是把头发弄得贴贴服服的，不出任何的“乱子”。其实，这样反而会让你看起来呆板、脸大。其实只要你做个小小的改变，脸型能够立刻变小。把头顶至脸颊的头发以光泽亮丽的直发为重点，用有保湿效果的喷雾可以增加光泽度，给人健康、有活力的感觉。脸颊两边开始上不规则的卷度，凌乱蓬松，视觉上加宽了两颊的宽度，加强了下巴的曲线，脸部马上呈现V字型!


打造步骤：
step1：挑出表层三分之一的头发，喷上喷雾，用夹板或者电棒把表层头发烫顺，切记只烫表层，里面的头发做蓬松支撑的作用。
step2：头发的卷度放在两颊到下巴之间，卷的方向可以随意打造，内卷和外翘交错，制造出凌乱、蓬松的发尾。







point2：小发饰大变化
瘦脸重点：如果你的脸型是比较宽和短的话，推荐大家利用发饰帮发型“增高”!把视觉效果放在头顶，不但能够会把脸型拉长，显现出尖下巴，还可以轻松变换不同风格的发型呢。比起原来扁塌塌又毫无亮点的发型，不用动剪刀，只要轻松的两步就可以马上提升你的魅力了。


打造步骤：
step1：把发尾微微烫卷，两侧留出些许头发，沿着脸颊烫出包覆式的卷度，头顶部位的头发用梳子打松，如果头发太塌的，可以上点蓬蓬粉，直接用手抓蓬松。
step2：把耳后的头发随意往后拨，发量集中在后脑勺，两侧留出两撮卷发修饰脸型，再戴上喜欢的发箍或者其他发饰即可。

point3：弧度刘海修脸型

瘦脸重点：中分或者是侧分刘海不适合长脸型的人，这样只会让脸看起来更平、更长。长脸型的MM想要有小V脸的话，重点不在下巴，而是在额头和颧骨。用带有弧度的刘海修饰、遮掩额头到眉骨的位置，你会发现脸型会马上变得精致、立体了。

打造步骤：

step1：在发尾的地方也是可以烫上内外交错的卷度，翅膀外翻的效果，可以让发尾丰满一点，修饰过长过瘦的脸。短发的话，在发尾的4厘米处上卷度就可以了。

step2：把原本侧分的刘海全部梳到前额，然后沿着额头用电棒烫出弧度，可以带着弧度把刘海稍稍往侧分，但不要有明显的发线，尽量遮盖整个额头。

N8 for FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

 

The fashion photography scene is rife with Hasselblads, D3X's and 1Ds mk4's, with clients needing the most tack sharp and high resolution pictures possible by today's technological standards. So what happens when a team of professional photographers ditch the lumbering beasts for a more svelte imaging solution, the Nokia N8? The results would probably astound you.

 

Shooting for the cover of South African magazine PiX, the photographers swapped studio monoblocks in favour of continuous lights as there is no way the Nokia N8 could sync with traditional studio flash systems. The 12MP cameraphone, which is probably the best in the market does well, producing nicely rendered colours and sharp pictures. This just goes to show that it's not your gear that makes a picture, rather the person behind the lens, discounting the bajillion dollars in studio lighting of course.

While this concept is eerily similar to what f-stoppers did with the iPhone 4 a while back despite the videos claims to be a world first, I like things like this, pushing the limits of technology and using it in to break the norm. What's next? iPhone 4 feature films? Oh wait…

The Accurate Watch - Remember you will die !

You know I have no idea why I decided to write about this watch on December 24, a day when people are supposed to be celebrating with family, friends and loved ones, and generally in a pretty upbeat mood. Because this watch is an instant kill-joy. It’s like having a cold, hard dose of reality strapped to your wrist. It’s called ‘The Accurate’ because the hour hand reads“remember” while the minute hands reads “you will die.” So while technically that sentence only comes into perfect alignment at 9:15 am & pm, the message will stick with you the entire day. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

It’s available from Mr Jones Watches directly for $145 for the regular model, and $150 for a special edition model which features a case coated in black PVD for a longer lasting finish.

2010’s Top 10 Buzzwords Over Internet In China

Xinhua recent published an article on China’s top 10 internet buzzwords for this year. Check it out after the break.

给力 (gei li), 团购 (tuan gou), 秒杀 (miao sha), 围脖 (wei bo), 神马都是浮云 (shen me dou shi fu yun)…how many of them do you know?

“神马都是浮云 (shen me dou shi fu yun)” defines as “It’s all fleeting clouds” or means everything is meaningless, unimportant, illusory, fleeting, or not worth mentioning.

---

“给力 (gei li)” means giving strength or possessing strength. The words originated from a Japanese comedy, appeared in the Chinese-dubbed version. The buzzword “gei li” has even attracted the attention of America’s “New York Times”. In its report, the Chinese internet buzzword “gei li” has already been acknowledged by officials, and was even been “translated” into the English “gelivable” and French “très guélile”.

The word also shows in Chinese newspaper heading.

---

“团购 (tuángòu)” simply means group purchasing, which people do group purchasing is because they can gain more benefits from this way of purchasing.

---

“微博 (wēi bó)” means Sina MicroBlog which similar to what twitter does, a platform for sharing, disseminating, and accessing user information.

---

“我爸是李刚 (wǒ bà shì lǐ gāng)” is saying “My dad is Li Gang”. Well, Li Gang is the deputy chief of a public security bureau in Baoding City, and this sentence shouted from his son, Li Qiming who was drunk driving at night, caused one death and one injury within the Hebei University campus. Eventually, this incident became a hot internet topic rapidly.

---

金庸 “被辞世” (Jīn Yōng “bèi císhì”) has an incident behind it, which basically about a famous person “Jin Yong” has passed away, but he wasn’t actually and many netizens are questioning about it. Finally, the word “被辞世” means “to be passed away”. One way to understand it is that someone declared you to have passed away when you have not actually passed away.

---

“非常艰难的决定 (fēicháng jiānnán de juédìng)” literally means “extremely difficult decision”, as started from a fierce contest between Tecent QQ and 360, and Tencent QQ sent its users telling them that they will not be able to use their QQ instant messenger service as long as they have 360 software installed on their computer. In that letter, they said their decision to force users to choose one or the other company was an “extremely difficult decision” for them. At that point, no one believed QQ’s sincerity and it became a joke.

---

“羡慕嫉妒恨 (xiànmù jídù hèn)”, this word actually made up of three words, saying envious, jealous, and hateful. The word comes from a movie producer “Zhang Weiping” to respond critique on their comedy “三枪拍案惊奇 (A Simple Noodle Story)”.

---

“羊羔体 (yánggāo tǐ)” 羊羔体 refers to Che Yangao’s poetry, one of which won a Lu Xun Literary Prize in 2010 but was widely criticized by netizens as being very “pedestrian”, not like poetry, something that anyone could write. The buzzword originated from a short message posted on Sina Weibo that asked “‘梨花体’后’羊羔体’?” which referred to “Zhao Lihua”, a woman whose poetry is also widely criticized. This is not quite understanding as people who are not following Chinese poetry.

---

“闹太套 (nào tài tào)” means “not at all”, came from a song “One World One Dream” that performed during the 2008 Beijing Olympic, the buzzword was just having a similar pronunciation of “Not at all” in Chinese.

That’s all by the way, if you have any interesting buzzwords that wants to share with us, please leaves us a comment.

fwd_Wedding Photography – 21 Tips for Amateur Wedding Photographers

“Help me – I’m photographing my first Wedding!… Help me with some Wedding Photography Tips Please!”

It’s a question that’s been asked a few times in our forums over the last few months so while I’m not a Pro Wedding Photographer I thought it was time to share a few tips on the topic of Wedding Photography.

I’ll leave the technical tips of photographing a wedding to the pros – but as someone who has been asked to photograph numerous friends and family weddings – here are a few suggestions.

Wedding Photography Tips

1. Create a ‘Shot List’

One of the most helpful tips I’ve been given about Wedding Photography is to get the couple to think ahead about the shots that they’d like you to capture on the day and compile a list so that you can check them off. This is particularly helpful in the family shots. There’s nothing worse than getting the photos back and realizing you didn’t photograph the happy couple with grandma!

2. Wedding Photography Family Photo Coordinator

I find the family photo part of the day can be quite stressful. People are going everywhere, you’re unaware of the different family dynamics at play and people are in a ‘festive spirit’ (and have often been drinking a few spirits) to the point where it can be quite chaotic. Get the couple to nominate a family member (or one for each side of the family) who can be the ‘director’ of the shoot. They can round everyone up, help get them in the shot and keep things moving so that the couple can get back to the party.

3. Scout the Location

Visit the locations of the different places that you’ll be shooting before the big day. While I’m sure most Pros don’t do this – I find it really helpful to know where we’re going, have an idea of a few positions for shots and to know how the light might come into play. On one or two weddings I even visited locations with the couples and took a few test shots (these made nice ‘engagement photos’).

4. In Wedding Photography Preparation is Key

So much can go wrong on the day – so you need to be well prepared. Have a backup plan (in case of bad weather), have batteries charged, memory cards blank, think about routes and time to get to places and get an itinerary of the full day so you know what’s happening next. If you can, attend the rehearsal of the ceremony where you’ll gather a lot of great information about possible positions to shoot from, the lighting, the order of the ceremony etc

5. Set expectations with the Couple

Show them your work/style. Find out what they are wanting to achieve, how many shots they want, what key things they want to be recorded, how the shots will be used (print etc). If you’re charging them for the event, make sure you have the agreement of price in place up front.

6. Turn off the sound on your Camera

Beeps during speeches, the kiss and vows don’t add to the event. Switch off sound before hand and keep it off.

7. Shoot the small details

Photograph rings, backs of dresses, shoes, flowers, table settings, menus etc – these help give the end album an extra dimension. Flick through a wedding magazine in a news stand for a little inspiration.

8. Use Two Cameras

Beg, borrow, hire or steal an extra camera for the day – set it up with a different lens. I try to shoot with one wide angle lens (great for candid shots and in tight spaces (particularly before the ceremony in the preparation stage of the day) and one longer lens (it can be handy to have something as large as 200mm if you can get your hands on one – I use a 70-200mm).

9. Consider a Second Wedding Photographer

Having a second backup photographer can be a great strategy. It means less moving around during ceremony and speeches, allows for one to capture the formal shots and the other to get candid shots. It also takes a little pressure off you being ‘the one’ to have to get every shot!

10. Be Bold but Not Obtrusive

Timidity won’t get you ‘the shot’ – sometimes you need to be bold to capture a moment. However timing is everything and thinking ahead to get in the right position for key moments are important so as not to disrupt the event. In a ceremony I try to move around at least 4-5 times but try to time this to coincide with songs, sermons or longer readings. During the formal shots be bold, know what you want and ask for it from the couple and their party. You’re driving the show at this point of the day and need to keep things moving.

11. Learn how to Use Diffused Light

The ability to bounce a flash or to diffuse it is key. You’ll find that in many churches that light is very low. If you’re allowed to use a flash (and some churches don’t allow it) think about whether bouncing the flash will work (remember if you bounce off a colored surface it will add a colored cast to the picture) or whether you might want to buy a flash diffuser to soften the light. If you can’t use a flash you’ll need to either use a fast lens at wide apertures and/or bump up the ISO. A lens with image stabilization might also help. Learn more about Using Flash Diffusers and Reflectors.

12. Shoot in RAW

I know that many readers feel that they don’t have the time for shooting in RAW (due to extra processing) but a wedding is one time that it can be particularly useful as it gives so much more flexibility to manipulate shots after taking them. Weddings can present photographers with tricky lighting which result in the need to manipulate exposure and white balance after the fact – RAW will help with this considerably.

13. Display Your Shots at the Reception

One of the great things about digital photography is the immediacy of it as a medium. One of the fun things I’ve seen more and more photographers doing recently is taking a computer to the reception, uploading shots taken earlier in the day and letting them rotate as a slideshow during the evening. This adds a fun element to the night.

14. Consider Your Backgrounds

One of the challenges of weddings is that there are often people going everywhere – including the backgrounds of your shots. Particularly with the formal shots scope out the area where they’ll be taken ahead of time looking for good backgrounds. Ideally you’ll be wanting uncluttered areas and shaded spots out of direct sunlight where there’s unlikely to be a wandering great aunt wander into the back of the shot. Read more on getting backgrounds right.

15. Don’t Discard Your ‘Mistakes’

The temptation with digital is to check images as you go and to delete those that don’t work immediately. The problem with this is that you might just be getting rid of some of the more interesting and useable images. Keep in mind that images can be cropped or manipulated later to give you some more arty/abstract looking shots that can add real interest to the end album.

16. Change Your Perspective

Get a little creative with your shots. While the majority of the images in the end album will probably be fairly ‘normal’ or formal poses – make sure you mix things up a little by taking shots from down low, up high, at wide angles etc.

17. Wedding Group Shots

One thing that I’ve done at every wedding that I’ve photographed is attempt to photograph everyone who is in attendance in the one shot. The way I’ve done this is to arrange for a place that I can get up high above everyone straight after the ceremony. This might mean getting tall ladder, using a balcony or even climbing on a roof. The beauty of getting up high is that you get everyone’s face in it and can fit a lot of people in the one shot. The key is to be able to get everyone to the place you want them to stand quickly and to be ready to get the shot without having everyone stand around for too long. I found the best way to get everyone to the spot is to get the bride and groom there and to have a couple of helpers to herd everyone in that direction. Read more on how to take Group Photos.

18. Fill Flash

When shooting outside after a ceremony or during the posed shots you’ll probably want to keep your flash attached to give a little fill in flash. I tend to dial it back a little (a stop or two) so that shots are not blown out – but particularly in backlit or midday shooting conditions where there can be a lot of shadow, fill in flash is a must. Read more about using Fill Flash.

19. Continuous Shooting Mode

Having the ability to shoot a lot of images fast is very handy on a wedding day so switch your camera to continuous shooting mode and use it. Sometimes it’s the shot you take a second after the formal or posed shot when everyone is relaxing that really captures the moment!

20. Expect the Unexpected

One more piece of advice that someone gave me on my own wedding day. ‘Things will Go Wrong – But They Can be the Best Parts of the Day’. In every wedding that I’ve participated in something tends to go wrong with the day. The best man can’t find the ring, the rain pours down just as the ceremony ends, the groom forgets to do up his fly, the flower girl decides to sit down in the middle of the aisle or the bride can’t remember her vows….

These moments can feel a little panicky at the time – but it’s these moments that can actually make a day and give the bride and groom memories. Attempt to capture them and you could end up with some fun images that sum up the day really well.

I still remember the first wedding I photographed where the bride and grooms car crashed into a Tram on the way to the park where we were going to take photos. The bride was in tears, the groom stressed out – but after we’d all calmed down people began to see some of the funny side of the moment and we even took a couple of shots before driving on to the park. They were among everyone’s favorites.

21. Have Fun

Weddings are about celebrating – they should be fun. The more fun you have as the photographer the more relaxed those you are photographing will be. Perhaps the best way to loosen people up is to smile as the photographer (warning: I always come home from photographing weddings with sore jaws and cheeks because of of my smiling strategy).
