Net TV

By Yateonga Kodesla


Sites like Hulu and YouTube dish out free episodes and in some occasions even let you download movies if you know when and where to look for them. Hulu can provide a great array of videos you can look at so long as your country is covered in their service.

Net TV is a brand new way of watching movies and televisions series in a wide array of portables and devices. The World Wide Web is filled with movies and animation clips both in the public domain and under copyright protected websites. Some may let you see the whole thing; some only give you previews until you buy the whole thing online.

Old people prefer watching their channels on an old and possibly grainy television set. What they don't know however, is that as the years pass, net TV has never been easier. Your parents and other older people might be relatively afraid of the new and unexplored region that is Net TV. They think that watching television online is an entirely complicated matter to try and understand.

If you're the thrifty kind, there's always net TV to keep you posted which a relatively impressive array of websites that support streaming so you can go ahead and watch your favorite shows in your finger tips. Why settle for cable? Cable is considered obsolete for our time of digital satellite feeds with subscription-based channels that let use view shows in sparklingly high-quality resolutions.

How Lady Gaga Inspired My Green Quilt

By Jane Green


Yesterday, I was playing around with a few designs for looking at working with a green quilt. However while working on this, a music clip featuring Woman Gaga came on the television.

While watching the clip, I noticed that they both share several similarities. You may not agree with me, however here's what I noticed:

Unorthodox

Lady Gaga is an unorthodox kind of pop star. She is noted just as much for her 'out there' fasion as she is for her music. If you're in any way familiar with her, you'll no doubt have an image in your head of some extreme fashion item she has worn during the past.

In the same way, a green quilt is an unorthodox one too. It is one of the last colors to be used for quilting and when it is, it'll actually stand out from your other quilts. Due to this, it is always a talking topic of any quilters collection.

Experimental

Back to her fashion sense, the pop princess has worn an endless number of experimental fashion pieces. On some occasions, she has actually worn clothing that she has claimed was 'art '. Either way, each time she appears it's with a new, experimental type of clothing.

In a way, a green quilt is experimental also. Each time somebody approaches one of these, it is always a risk that there is not any guarantee that it will turn out right, no safety area of tried and tested colours. It truly is a foray into the unknown, an experiment in itself.

Attention Getting

Whether it is her music or her fashion, Lady Gaga has mastered the art of 'attention grabbing'.

This is the same for a green quilt, it does not have to try. Due to its peculiar association with nature, these quilts stand out even if surrounded by lots of other quilts.

Perhaps Lady Gaga should use a green quilt in her next experimental fashion piece. They seem well suited to one another.

How to Take Photographs From a Plane Window

By Rob Jackson


Photography is a great way to capture beautiful images that you can later transform into different forms of art to be used in your home. One of the most unique ways to use a camera is to take photos from an airplane. The world looks very different from a high altitude, and you can capture amazing snapshots. You can then use these images in your home by getting them printed on canvas prints to decorate your walls or objects you use every day such as photo mugs. If you want to try using your camera next time you fly, there are a few tips that will help you take better photographs from a plane window.

1. Don't put the camera lens right up against the window. This won't help you keep the camera steady or eliminate unwanted reflections. It will actually have the opposite effect because the plane vibrates. Your camera will probably just shake more. A better strategy is to get as close to the plane window as possible without touching it.

2. Don't use your camera's automatic settings. They are meant for photographing scenes you encounter on the ground. Photographing from a high altitude and behind a window often requires different settings. Use the camera's manual mode to find what will work for these unique surroundings.

3. Keep expectations realistic. You might be thinking of replicating the beautiful shots featured in travel brochures. However, keep in mind that those photographs are done by professionals in special planes. They photograph from open windows and know what altitude will work the best. While it's unlikely you'll end up with professional looking prints, you can still take beautiful and unique photographs.

4. Take photographs at the beginning of your flight. Ice and condensation on the plane windows can prevent you from using your camera later in the flight. Your window will be clear after takeoff, so it's best to take pictures as soon as you can.

5. To get photographs you can reuse later, turn off the flash. It won't make a difference in your shot because it is only strong enough to be used on short distances. If it remains on, it can actually ruin your photograph by causing reflections on the window.

Keep these tips in mind next time you are on a plane. Also, keep an open mind about your photograph subjects. If a part of a plane such as a wing gets into your shot, don't give up. Having a focal point can actually create more interesting photographs.

Photographs taken from a plane are unique and will remind you of your traveling experiences. No matter how you intend to use them, photographs taken from a plane can turn out to be some of the best shots you've ever taken.
