About: photography...

...You know it will be difficult for me to explain in English the way I want, but I'll try at least to give some guidelines about the basic thingsExif data of the file missing but as far as I can see - for this picture, fill flash was used?These reflections are a result of direct flash lightning.Now, the lighting, and in particular - artificial or the additional lighting are a vast topic...I will try to be helpful with a few simple thingsAs a general rule and most often, should be used flash-diffusers to avoid this "effect".If you use an external flash, it usually has one built-in - a thin plastic film that is retracted into the housing and which must be pulled out in front of the flash when do we need.Or otherwise - has included in the set diffuser - such as cap or dome - something like that:The aim is to avoid these glares by direct pointed flash and to provide a mild and uniform illumination.Also, with or instead of the diffuser, is often used a photographic trick or technique known as "bounce flash" - rather than firing your flash directly at your subject, you point it elsewhere - up or at an angle, bouncing off a wall or ceiling, in order to “bounce” light to soften it before it hits your subject.When is used a white card or other light transmitting material such as paper or lightweight fabric, attached to the flash, but did not cover it entirely as the diffuser, and reflects light output completely or partially, then we have something between both the techniques.For bounce flash to be applicable, however, you must have:- an external flash - they are designed to be able to adjust the angle of the flash head at different angles, as well as to rotate;- It is powerful enough;- you have something to bounce off within a reasonable distance.When using the built-in flash of the camera - the most common case - then you can buy one of many offered diffusers, OR -- you can use your imagination and adapt any suitable material that you have at hand - cigarette paper for hand-rolled cigarettes (I am a smoker and always have handy), or some kind of plastic, or a piece of cloth... you will see sorts thinkable and unthinkable ideas, if only ask google about "DIY flash diffuser"It is only necessary to be matt, in any case not very dense, so as not to reduce luminous flux drastically.Also a tip aside from the flash - nice would happen if the window (or in general - the entrance of natural light) is covered with a light curtain or a light transparent paper - for the same reason - will soften the light in the room and will get smoother shadows.

Suggestions for a sweet cheapie for all occasions?
...I must say in advance that sweet, or business/office-safe perfumes are not exactly my track!However, suddenly the ideas came pouring out and I couldn't stop myself :) Some suggestions from my experience coming...Unjustified assumption, but I think this may be the closest match (how was the phrase... a crowd–pleaser?):"CK One Shock for Him" (cashmeran I see there, but ... maybe is worth the sacrifice to test once.)With more class and sophistication:"Aigner Black for Men" - discontinued but still easy to find"Salvatore Ferragamo pour Homme" - discontinued but still easy to find.And while we're in the same house:"F by Ferragamo pour Homme"A more safe bet:"Visit for Men"---"S.T. Dupont pour Homme""Azzaro pour Homme Elixir" - intriguing, surpassed my expectations"Avant Garde""Altamir""Silver Shadow" - not identical, but brings the same character as another creation from Kurkdjian - APOM pour homme, just a bit more unpolished, sort of alpha-version"Individuel""Rochas Man""Paul Smith Man""Molinard Homme II"Even if they are not good ones, are still a sort of ideas :D

Your Most Worn Perfumes

Re: Your Most Worn Perfumes
...Apicius:Actually, I would find it a good idea if we could automatically display this statistic to each other.Indeed, it a good idea, would be interesting.my statistic:PS. I see that I had not been thoroughly accurate and consistentin this top 16, at least three to five of the my most often worn perfumes do not appear - Hinoki by Comme des Garçons, "Oud" by Kurkdjian, also "Guerlain Homme L'Eau" and "Comme des Garçons 2 Man", "Versace L'Homme" - more than 20 times I've worn them for sure

...+ "Rose of Bulgaria for Men"Everyone would say: "no way so inexpensive to be a good one", i know, I know! - (here in Bulgaria it costs 6 euros) :P Yeah, we have pretty much roses here :)And it will be in a mistake.I was in skeptical frame of mind, even cynical, I would say. But only before you give it a try.I can not describe it better than Coutureguru did it in his excellent review, and there is no point even trying.I'll just say "not everything is money, friends, at least on Beauty" - Worth it more than the price presupposes.

...Over six hours - with high density and intensity, the base notes are there with a strong presence after 8 hours and more.Actually, it is too loud to me - two sprays max... any dose above and turns this density into unbearable, and longevity - annoying.

...from time to time, it sounds like. :-) Any idea what gives it the ability to do that? Maybe I can find a comparable domestically sold product.WolfM, you touched on a good point: all these basic items I use work way better than any product I've tried.Just thought of another use for baking soda...

...Apicius:I use suntan oil to remove dirty chain oil from my hands after bicycle maintenance.Same here - only did I use body-milk or makeup remover. but I'll try suntan oil - - perhaps it would be even better.They also do a great job of cleaning the leather furniture, and for car seat leather. If it is heavily soiled - drop a very small amount koreselin inside (about 10 ml per 250-300ml bottle). Cleans perfectly; it is obligatory not to rub - just be applied and gently wiped almost immediately. This works better than any product I've tried (more than 6-7 of the most acclaimed on the market)
