The Coral diviner

The Coral diviner

Benin City, 1895. Adesuwa Eghosa reads cowries in the market square, inheriting both her mother's gift and her mother's disgrace. Iyeman Eghosa was cast out of the palace's inner court fifteen years ago for reasons no one would ever explain. When master bronze-caster Idehen is found dead among his molds with the Ivie-Oba, the Oba's sacred coral regalia, shattered beside him, the palace has one moon to solve it: the anniversary rites are coming, and a British trade delegation is already asking pointed questions about what treasures Benin still holds. Captain Osaretin Ediae, the Iyase's son, gets six days of nothing. At the chief priest's insistence and over Osaretin's open scepticism. Adesuwa is brought into the workshop, where she reads what his evidence can't: no fear in the room, only argument. Idehen knew his killer, and the killer left through a door only an insider would use. Their investigation uncovers not a robbery but a year-long haemorrhage: fourteen treasury "restoration orders" in eleven months, all bearing the seal of Chief Iyoha, the Keeper of the Treasury, and the uncle who raised Osaretin after his mother's death. Idehen had been quietly weighing pieces, suspecting substitutions, and was due to bring it to the Oba directly the morning after he died. At the far end of the chain sits Aldous Kerr, a British trade agent buying palace antiquities through a river trader. As Adesuwa and Osaretin fall for each other across an unbridgeable rank divide, the palace closes ranks: a fifteen-year-old apprentice is framed, Adesuwa is dragged before a hostile priestly council, and a coral bead is left on her mother's divining cloth as a warning. Osaretin stakes his standing before the full court to defend her, and they finish the case as outsiders working the alleys instead of the offices intercepting Iyoha's next shipment on the river with his own ledger inside. Iyoha doesn't deny it. He argues he was selling what the British would seize anyway, building a fund to outlast an invasion he sees coming and admits he never intended to kill Idehen, only to reason with him. He's exiled, stripped of title. The coral is repaired with bronze beads where real coral couldn't be recovered, and the rites proceed unblemished before the delegation. Eleven pieces are already gone forever, bound for glass cases abroad. Adesuwa accepts a court appointment as consultant to the priesthood on condition she keeps her market stall and she and Osaretin end the book together, with a foreign ship still at anchor in the harbour.

Chorus photography
There were many aspects that needed to be considered in the chorus photography. Pay attention to the use of light when shooting the chorus scene. If it was an indoor chorus, such as a student's indoor chorus performance, it was necessary to make good use of the indoor lighting equipment to avoid dark or bright areas. If it was an outdoor chorus, like a chorus of ten thousand people, one had to pay attention to the direction of natural light to avoid strong shadows on the subject. In terms of composition, the chorus should be included in the picture as a whole to highlight the sense of teamwork. Different angles could be tried. For example, shooting from the front could fully show the lineup and expressions of the singers, and shooting from the side could capture the interaction between the singers and the layering of the arrangement. As for the camera settings, he adjusted the aperture, shutter speed, and so on according to the needs of different scenes. In a dimly lit indoor environment, a larger aperture, a higher IQ value, and an appropriate shutter speed may be needed to ensure that the image is clear and the brightness is appropriate. In a well-lit outdoor environment, the aperture size could be adjusted according to the desired depth of field. In addition, he could also capture some details in the chorus, such as the movements of the conductor, the expressions of the singers, the reactions of the audience, etc. These elements could make the photos more story-telling and impactful. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Coral photography
Here is some information about coral photography: - In terms of shooting equipment, Canon's EOS M6 could be used to shoot corals. Some people even used Canon's eos M6 camera to shoot precious superfluorescent button brains, candy brains, and 3 mm button corals (information 4). - From the perspective of photography techniques, it would appear more fluorescent if the white light was turned off (Information 7). - As for the use of the filter, choosing a yellow plus red filter would produce a more vibrant color, but the color adjustment should be careful, because it was easy to over-adjust and appear fake. It was not recommended for Xiao Bai to adjust the color (Source 7). When shooting with the original camera of the phone, the Mat60 Pro, adjust the color temperature in professional mode to filter out the blue light to show the original color of the coral. If you choose the bright mode, the color will look better, and the yellow filter can also make the color more beautiful. However, when using the filter, you have to consider the situation where the color of the coral bone will be filtered out a little, and the shooting effect under natural light may be more moderate (Information 6). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
