FX Photo Studio Creative Boost

I created a story around my submissions to the FX Photo Studio Creative Boost contest. Posterous really needs some sort of image caption feature.

Suddenly the sky over the fair grounds was lit with a blinding flash of orange-yellow light.

A flying craft lit with blue light appeared over the fairground. I could see a glowing yellow light descend from the center of the craft toward a group of people lokking up.

An ominous being appeared before. I knew something bad was about to happen.

I watched in horrow as some sort of tractor beam pulled several people out of the crowd.

Then in another flash of light they were gone. We stood there stunned, not believing what we had just experienced but relieved that we were not taken.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Properly Reviewed

There are two major reasons that the Tab and iPad are not direct competitors: size and app stores. This may seem like it should not be that big of a difference, what’s three inches after all – additionally the Android Market is a pretty robust app store right? Well no, not really. There may be a lot of apps in the Android Market, but there are not many good apps. Oh, and three inches turns out to be a huge difference for a tablet.

People buy hardware devices to do things — solve problems or entertain — not because the hardware specs are cool.

Four Sides to A Frame

It follows, and this is worth noting, that the photographer decides where to place each of those four sides with respect to the subject of the photograph. That decision can be made consciously and purposefully. Or it can be made unconsciously, by default. No matter how the decision is made, it can have a huge effect on the impact the image has on the viewer.
