Defy The Alpha(s)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Photograph and Walk
There was a close connection between photography and walking. Walking provided a rich source material and a variety of shooting scenes for photography. For example, when walking in Hangzhou Iron and Steel Park, one could use the light and shadow composition of the escalator in the three-story sinking space, or use the turning staircase lines as the background, highlight the main body through color contrast, and increase the layering with the help of oblique light to carry out photography creation; Walking on the ancient Shu Road in Guangyuan, even the misty weather could become a unique photography picture; Walking along the railway, one could carry out photography creation of the train track. Different areas during the journey, such as Yunxi Botanic Garden in Guangzhou, could be used as photography locations. In short, walking allowed the photographer to come into contact with more different elements such as light, scenery, space, etc., thus enriching the content and expressiveness of the photography work, while photography could record what they saw and felt while walking. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The Metaphor of Photograph
There were many kinds of metaphor for photography. For example, the relationship between photography and photography could be compared to the relationship between mathematics and calculation; photography could be compared to makeup; and people who recorded good times with a camera could be compared to time architects. In terms of the use of light, people described the camera as a " brush " and compared light to " paint." In terms of color, there were warm and cool colors. For example, red represented warm colors, and ice represented cold colors. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Photograph animation
The following are some operations related to photo animation: - ** Creating photo-taking animations with specific apps (such as Pixaloop)** - To import photos: click on the "album" icon in the upper left corner to import the photos that need to be "moved." The interface will have animation, sky, coverage, elements, camera effects, adjustment, and other functions. - [Animation Function: Mainly uses the "animation" function. After opening it, there are functions such as path, anchor, speed, and so on.] The "path" determines the direction of the "movement" of the picture. For example, if you want the clouds in the photo to move to the right, you can draw a few strokes to the right, but the whole picture will move at this time. To make the relatively static elements (such as mountains and characters) not be affected, you can use "anchor" to stop the animation, which is to add anchor points where you need to stop. You can also use the "Lock" function (suitable for people with trypophobia) to wipe out places that don't need animation. If you accidentally wipe too much, you can click the "Unlock" function to cancel it. You can also adjust the animation speed through "Speed". - ** Other functions to make photos move ** - Sky function: Similar to MIX's "One Touch Change Sky" function, it can change the sky while moving the sky. To make the effect more natural, you can click on the filter you choose to adjust the skyline, environment, details, and other options according to the image. - Overlay function: For "still" photos, click "Overlay" to see dynamic elements such as hearts, bubbles, and stars covering the entire picture. After selecting the appropriate special effects, use an eraser to wipe away the places that do not need to be covered by the special effects. - Element function: Different from Overlay, Element can add small animations to parts of the photo, such as butterflies, birds, smoke, fireworks, etc. You can use this function to add elements to double exposure photos to increase creativity. - [Special effects: Add movie effects by default, such as the push-pull and rocking techniques in movie shooting. You can add them with one click.] The generated GIFs were saved in a video format. The size could be selected, and the picture quality was 1080P. Some of the functions required the Pro to pay, but the basic functions were free and easy to operate. In addition, stop-motion animation is also related to photo animation. For example, you can use the iMotion App to shoot stop-motion animation. After installing and opening it, the main page has a total of five items. You can watch videos uploaded by users all over the world in the iMotion gallery. My movies has the shooting content and displays the movie usage and remaining memory capacity.(click the + sign to delete the current animation), there is a description of the button function in the help.(Although it's in English, it's not hard to understand). When creating a movie, click on new movies to enter the option settings. For stop motion animation, you usually choose to manually change the shooting mode. The shooting steps are to choose the front and rear cameras, name them, select the shooting mode, and then press Start to shoot. Enter the shooting interface and click Tools to set the picture mark, flash, grid lines, manual/auto focus, exposure compensation, white balance lock, etc. After shooting, you can adjust the frame speed. Finally, he chose the save format and clicked on the photo library to complete. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

What makes a photograph a famous photograph that tells a story?
First, it should have a strong visual impact. For example, 'The Terror of War' by Nick Ut. The photo of the children running from a napalm attack is so powerful that it immediately grabs the viewer's attention and tells the horror story of war. Second, it often represents a significant moment in history like 'The Fall of the Berlin Wall'. The pictures of people climbing on the wall and celebrating symbolize the end of the Cold War. Third, it can also capture the essence of a social issue. 'AIDS in Africa' photos show the suffering of patients and the impact on society, thus telling a complex and important story.

Photograph of the Lazar River
The Lazar River was a good place to take photos. From a natural perspective, it originated from the Nyainqentanglha Mountains and flowed through south-central Xizang. There were many beautiful scenery along the way. The river was clear, and there were prayer flags, Gesang flowers, and occasional birds flying around. These elements could add rich color and vitality to the photo. Moreover, it was golden in different seasons, such as late autumn. It was full of harvest. In terms of cultural landscape, it was adjacent to historical and cultural sites such as the Potala Palace and Drepung Monastery. These buildings could be seen from the river. When shooting the river, these ancient buildings could be included in the picture, forming a unique cultural landscape photo. In addition, there were also modern buildings on the river, such as Liuwuwanda, Liuwu Bridge, etc. The fusion of traditional and modern buildings was also very valuable. There was also a lake water city formed by the " river-to-lake " project in the Urban area section of the Tibet River. There were flocks of waterbirds playing, and tall buildings stretched around the lake. Citizens and tourists took a leisure walk in the park on both sides. Here, people could take pictures of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. If you take a sightseeing boat to tour the river, you can also take pictures of the scenery on both sides of the river from different angles, feel the humid lake climate, and experience the natural beauty of the rippling blue waves, birds and flowers. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Photograph through the cup
Here are some tips for photography through a glass of water: - ** Use light **: You can prepare a flashlight to light it up and try different angles, such as shooting it horizontally from the side, or shooting it diagonally from 45° above. You can also use natural light, such as placing the cup close to the window and the lens behind the cup wall to shoot from the side. - ** Color matching and contrast **: If the cup is transparent, you can choose some fruits with brighter colors to put in the cup to form a visual color difference. This way, not only will the color be eye-catching, but it can also add a cool atmosphere. - ** Using reflection and refraction **: When water is poured into a transparent glass, the glass becomes a circular mirror. The surrounding scenery is reflected on the glass, and the photo can be taken like an oil painting. The simpler the background, the purer and more beautiful the reflected color. He could also prepare a tall and low glass and fill it with water. He could hide the item behind the glass and use refraction to magnify and distort the image in the water. - ** Capture dynamic moments **: For example, capture the moment when water is poured or when water splashes. When shooting the moment of pouring water, choose the focus point on the glass, and then increase the shutter speed to capture the scene; when shooting the moment of water splashing, you can first put the fruit into the glass, manually focus and set the high-speed shutter to capture the scene of the fruit falling into the glass and splashing water. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Photograph environment light
There were many factors to consider when taking photos: 1. ** The Source and Direction of Light (CK- 1)** - During the day, the main source of light is usually the sun; at night, it may be artificial light. Although it was difficult to determine the position of the sun on a cloudy day, it was also important to pay attention to it because it helped to determine the characteristics of the fill light and the difference between the actual main light source (such as the white wall reflection as the main light source) and the sun's light source. Indoors, the window may be the main source of light, and its light is affected by the position of the sun relative to the window. It may be direct sunlight or just fill light. 2. ** Flatten surface (CK- 2)** - It was important to have relatively flat objects (such as walls, trucks, bushes, etc.) that were directly illuminated by the main light source near the subject. Large, flat, light-colored objects could be used as reflective plates to change the direction of sunlight. They could also judge the quality, brightness, and color of the reflected light based on their surface properties. 3. ** Backstory (LE- 3)** - It was better to have a clean background, similar color elements (such as brown or green) or patterns, and a uniform brightness level in the frame. This would make the audience focus on the subject, but this was not a necessary condition. 4. ** Ambient-Light Modifier (CK- 4)** - Pay attention to the texture, color, shape, material, and size of the objects near the subject (such as walls, curtains, sheets, doors, plants, trees, paintings, cars, etc.). 5. ** Ground characteristics (CK- 5)** - The color, material, and texture of the ground where the subject was located needed to be specified. 6. ** Shadows on the ground and walls (ule- 6)** - Description of the shadows on the ground and walls, including whether the light and shadow lines can be distinguished (where the projection meets the direct sunlight), the direction of the shadows, the darkness, whether the edges are clear or soft, etc. If the shadows and edges are soft, find the source of the fill light. 7. ** A small piece of pure light in the shadows (CK- 7)** - If there are scattered shadows or clear shadow patterns on the wall or ground, small pieces of pure light can be used as visual elements to enhance visual interest. 8. ** Open structure connected to the outside (CK- 8)** - If the shooting location has a ceiling that can produce open shadows, or a space with three walls and one open side (such as a garage connected to the outside), the direction of the light can be changed (from vertical to horizontal). 9. ** Light intensity difference (CK- 9)** - The difference in light intensity between the background of the shooting location and the subject would affect the image. This difference might be beneficial to highlight the subject, or it might distract the audience's attention from the subject. 10. ** Light reference point (CK- 10)** - The reference point of the light based on which the subject's light was shot was determined, as well as whether the subject's light and the reference point were similar or repulsive. For beginners, considering these environmental light factors was a visual and imaginative exercise that could increase their sensitivity to light and help them take ideal photos. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

ceiling light photograph
If you want to do overhead light photography, here are some relevant points: ** I. About the characteristics of lamps and the use of ceiling lights as light sources ** 1. ** The characteristics of the ceiling lamp as a light source ** - If one used a ceiling lamp as a light source indoors, it would be like an indoor ceiling lamp. It was a light source with a large area and soft light. If the effect of shooting people indoors was not good because of the top light, it could be improved in some ways, such as raising the head to face the direction of the light source to let the face receive light evenly; if the head was lowered, the book could be used as a reflective plate under the face to supplement the light. 2. ** The role of other lamps in overhead light photography (auxiliary lighting, etc.)** - When lighting, if you want to shoot lamps such as Zhongshan table lamps, wall lamps, spotlights, crystal lamps, etc., you can use a soft light box or other reflective light source as the main light source in front of or above the lamps to highlight their shape characteristics. At the same time, auxiliary light sources could be added, such as hard light boxes or spotlights placed in the opposite direction of the main light source to simulate environmental light. You can also use a reflective board to reflect light in front of or above the lamp to increase the softness and details. You can also use a transmission umbrella to soften the light and place it in front of or above the main light source to simulate the lighting effect. 3. ** Selection and settings of photography equipment ** - ** Equipment Selection **: Professional photography equipment such as a camera, lens, tripod, shutter release, etc., as well as auxiliary tools such as a reflective plate, soft light box, and transmission umbrella. - ** Camera-setting **: The camera can be placed directly in front of or above the lamp to highlight its characteristics and shape. The aperture was usually set between f/8 - f/11, the shutter speed was set between 1/125 - 1/250 seconds, and the USB was set between 100 - 200 to ensure the quality and exquisiteness of the photo. 4. ** Techniques of shooting with overhead lights in different scenes ** - On cloudy days where clouds and light were not prominent, a single light could be used to brighten the subject and dim the background. When the subject was too bright or the environment was dark, the output index of the light could be reduced, and the distance between the light and the model could also be adjusted. If it was backlit, the light on the backlit side would be soft and natural, and the face would not have a Yin Yang face. Moreover, the silhouette or details could be taken by adjusting the exposure. At most, one could carry a reflective plate for outdoor backlit shooting. If the light in the environment is messy and unevenly distributed, you can consider backlighting, black-and-white photography to reduce color interference, and find a clean light source. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
