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.

Nikon Aperture
Nikon lens aperture parameters are as follows: 1. ** Aperture Symbol and Type ** - For a zoom lens, if there was only one label at the aperture, it was a constant aperture lens, and if there were two labels, it was a floating aperture lens. - Nikon lens aperture types were divided into (without a postfix), D, G, and E. No Suffix means that the lens has an aperture ring and cannot provide distance information;D Suffix means that the lens has an aperture ring and can provide distance information;G Suffix means that the lens does not have an aperture ring but can provide distance information;E Suffix means that the lens does not have an aperture ring and is an electromagnetic aperture that can provide distance information. 2. ** Aperture characteristics of different lenses ** - The Nikon 50mm F1.4G lens had a full aperture with a dark corner. The center resolution was good from F1.4 to F8, and the center edge transition was smooth. - The Nikon 17 - 55f/2.8G was a constant 2.8 aperture zoom lens on the APS-C frame. - The 18 - 35mm f/1.8 ADC HSM Art was a full-length F1.8 constant aperture lens. - The Nikon AF-S 70 - 200mm f/2.8G ED VR II was a constant 2.8 aperture lens. - The Nikon 200 - 500mm f/5.6E ED VR was a constant 5.6 aperture lens. 3. ** Relationship between Aperture and Focus ** - In traditional single-lens reflex cameras, such as the telephoto cannon (Canon Nikon's 800 telephoto cannon aperture value was 5.6), in order to meet the minimum brightness requirements of autofocus, the aperture could not be less than 5.6, otherwise many cameras could not autofocus. In the era of micro-single, because the focusing method was changed to direct focus on the mos, the aperture value that allowed the minimum focus was greatly increased. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

seven aperture exquisite
Seven orifices exquisite was an idiom that described cleverness and dexterity. It was said that the heart had seven orifices, so it was called. This idiom came from Lao She's Zhao Zi Yue. It was used to describe a person who was smart and agile. This idiom meant that a person was meticulous and had active brain cells. In the Romance of the Gods, Wang Shubigan had a heart with seven holes, which was the "Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart". Later, Su Daji instigated King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty to cut open his heart and die. Now, this idiom could also be used to describe a person who was quick-witted, eccentric, and slick.

Virtual aperture photography
Virtual aperture photography was mainly used in the field of mobile photography. On the phone, some of the display apertures that could be adjusted were not the real aperture structure like the camera, but a virtual mode of the software, which was equivalent to the blurring and sharpness adjustment options in the retouching software. The phone's "large aperture" mode had the following characteristics: 1. The virtual aperture value can be changed within a certain range, such as f/1.0 - 16, and the virtual minimum aperture value may exceed the minimum aperture value of the phone's main camera lens. 2. It was a separate setting for obtaining a blurred background effect, independent of the phone's light measurement system. The change in the virtual aperture value would only affect the blurred background of the subject and the clear range. It would not affect the amount of light passing through the lens. Different brands of mobile phones had different menu settings and ways to activate the "Big Aperture". Some brands of mobile phones had this mode set separately, and it could usually be activated from the "More" menu of the mobile phone camera. Its main function was to blur the background and highlight the main body. It was more suitable for shooting scenes such as daily shots of people or still life, portraits, and so on. Although the equivalent aperture of the phone lens was roughly equivalent to the F11 - F13 of a full-frame camera (which belonged to the small aperture range), the virtual aperture algorithm could provide a good background blurring effect in most scenes. However, there might be problems such as misjudging the blurred object. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Food photography aperture
In gourmet photography, the aperture setting needed to be carefully chosen. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to use the largest or smallest aperture. The maximum aperture might cause the depth of field to be too shallow, making it impossible to correctly distinguish the outline and shape of the food, thus affecting the effect of the photo. The minimum aperture may not be able to meet the ideal exposure or artistic effect requirements in some cases. The most suitable aperture range was around 5 - 11. The aperture in this range could ensure that the outline of the food was clear and the shape was recognizable. It could also create a three-dimensional effect and produce a better food photography work. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Museum Aperture Shutter
When shooting in a museum, the aperture and shutter settings needed to take into account many factors. ** 1. Aperture ** 1. ** Large Aperture (Small F Value)** - A large aperture could increase the amount of light entering the museum in a dimly lit environment, making the photo brighter. For example, in some museum scenes where the light was not good and it was not suitable to use a flash (because it might cause light damage to the cultural relics), if a large aperture lens such as Canon 50mm f/1.2L was used, it could guarantee enough light to take clear photos. - A large aperture could make the depth of field shallow, and the background was easy to blur. When taking close-ups of an exhibit in a museum, you can highlight the main body of the exhibit and blur out other interfering elements in the background. 2. ** Small Aperture (Large F Value)** - If you want to make the entire scene clear, such as taking a full picture of a museum exhibition hall or displaying a display scene of multiple items, you can use a small aperture. A small aperture would allow less light to enter, and the overall picture would be a little darker, but it could obtain a larger depth of field, ensuring that the front and back of the picture were clear. ** 2. Shutter ** 1. ** High-speed shutter (Denominator large)** - If there were visitors walking around in the museum or if they wanted to capture moving elements such as staff, a high-speed shutter could be used to clearly freeze the moving object. For example, if the shutter speed was set to 1/640 second, it would be able to capture the instant motion better. - With a high-speed shutter, the amount of light passing through the shutter would be shorter, and the image would be darker. Therefore, in a dimly lit museum environment, a high-speed shutter might need to be used with a large aperture or high sensitivity to ensure the brightness of the photo. 2. ** Slow Shutter (Denominator Small)** - A slow shutter speed would allow light to enter the camera for a longer time and increase the amount of light entering the camera. It was suitable for use in a museum with insufficient light. However, if one held the camera, the slow shutter speed would easily cause the image to blur due to hand shake, unless the camera had a good anti-shake function or a tripod was used. - In the museum, if you wanted to capture the artistic effect of light and shadow, such as the light trajectory through the stained glass, you could use a slow shutter, but you had to be careful not to capture dynamic interfering objects to avoid blurring the picture. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The bigger the camera aperture,
The larger the aperture of the camera, the larger the aperture of the lens, and the more light enters the lens per unit of time. The deeper the depth of field, the blurrier the background. In Aperture Prerequisite or Manual Mode, if the shutter speed is not fast enough or if you don't use a ND dimmer, the photo is more likely to be overexposed. The image may become softer when the lens uses the maximum aperture.(The more advanced the lens, the more serious the situation.) The subject may not be sharp enough. The depth of field before and after the focus becomes smaller. If the camera moves forward and backward, the subject will easily move out of the depth of field and become blurred. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

A cinematographer's aperture shutter
In cinematography, the aperture and shutter had their own specific uses. ** 1. Aperture ** 1. ** Depth-of-field and rendering ** - The aperture not only controlled the light coming into contact with the sensor, but more importantly, it controlled the depth of field and the way the image was rendered. In cinematography, from one shot to the next, the depth of field needed to be consistent. For example, if you prefer shallow focus, you should maintain this style throughout the entire shooting process; if it's deep focus, you should also maintain it throughout the entire shooting, otherwise the lens image will appear incoherent. 2. ** In terms of exposure control ** - Most cinematographers used the aperture as the primary method of changing exposure, keeping the aperture consistent or close to consistent in every scene. The cinematographer would decide the ideal aperture according to the scene to be shot, so that the aperture of each shot was close to ensure that the physical rendering and depth of field of the shot matched each other. ** 2. Shutter Speed ** 1. ** Eliminate blurred motion ** - For a cinematographer, the shutter speed was mainly used to eliminate blurred motion in a movie. If the frame rate was 24 frames per second, the shutter speed would usually be set to 1/48 seconds or 1/50 seconds. For a frame rate of 60 frames per second, the shutter speed would be 1/60 seconds or 1/125 seconds, depending on the subject. 2. ** General settings ** - Most of the time, cinematographers shot at 24 or 25 frames, maintaining a shutter speed of 1/48 or 1/50 of a second. This was different from still life photographers. In cinematography, there was no need to frequently change the aperture and shutter speed to create a cinematic exposure effect. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
