Polish culture of football     posted on 22nd of february, 2008

Some say that Polish football fans are the most manner less and violent. That is only the one dark part of our football culture.

Every men I know love football, my father, brothers, cousins and friends also some women love this sport and I will say that they behavior is ok. We are supersensitive about this subject – when our team wins we shout, scream, sing and other loud actions, when we lose we in depressed always try to find scapegoat but it is the same in other cultures.

 

Euro 2012 is the chance for our country and culture to show who we really are. When I heard that we win I was so happy, (everyone where happy and act loudly) know after few months I am defeated. All news, papers and opposition politics say that we will not make it (and everyone ...

Frozen vegetables better then fresh.     posted on 22nd of february, 2008

What about that.

Some scientists where study frozen and fresh vegetables and they discover that frozen are better then fresh.

They all have almost the same value vitamins and calories. In that point fresh vegetables and fruits are even better but yet frozen are better. Why, because of pesticides. Productions of frozen products are more controlled then ‘production fresh products’.

 

 

When we buy fresh goodlooking salad we have no idea where it was growing, maybe in some charming garden but maybe in some charming garden near the busy road.

 

 

 

Ok so you will say that is only matter of better control of this product, but I do not want to awake some day and find salad more ...

Hi Sherry I love summertime too, as well as fresh fruits. Ania - posted by Papuga2006 on February 28, 2008
All I know is that I'm a bit tired of getting fresh fruit (particularly raspberries) home from the grocery store only to find that the majority of them are moldy - or mold follows quickly. We've had super luck with frozen bags of strawberries, mixed berries, raspberries. Best part - absolutely no mold, thus no waste! Super economical. But I'm still anxiously awaiting summertime!

Colors of planets     posted on 26th of february, 2008

 

Creating the graphic work for DT discover the colorful variety in our cosmic life. There are many illustrations and even photos of space, earth and planets on dreamstime, that I have been wondering is there a chance to find all of the planets from great Solar System. For beginning I want to remind the System. In increasing distance from the sun there are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Mercury is the smallest planet in the system, it is similar in appearance to our Moon.

Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, the brightest natural object in the night sky, except for the Moon, that is way it is so light bright grey colored.

Earth is the most known planet for us, it very colorful because of it natural ...

Symbolic of white     posted on 29th of february, 2008

White like no other color (o should I say absence of color), have many symbolic meaning in our and other cultures. In many cultures white is a symbol of perfection, purity, innocence, rebirth, live and even death (Islam), north direction or wisdom (freemason). Every one knows the meaning of words white raven, white magic or white flag. White is naturally opposite to black like light is opposite to shadow. Let’s try to measure with this subject.

Waiting for right moment     posted on 29th of february, 2008

Grab camera go outside and search the world for some truly beautiful photos. This is what all of us suppose to do, but haw to find a right moment. You should be patient, observe, maybe a little help the scene. It is different then photography in studio. There we can choose the subject, prepare the scene, set up the lights. I search Dreamstime stock looking for some examples of those photographers that I think got the shoot in right moment. From many examples I choose those.

Color single out subject     posted on 29th of february, 2008

One color used on photo to single out the subject from it. Colored objects in monochrome photography is like discover the right meaning of photo. In seconds we see what was on photographer’s mind, idea of photo is readable and clear for addressee. Those photos (if they good) are excellent for advertisement, web usage and important to contributors but almost all of them where computer manipulated to create such expression.

I find photo that really inspired me, colors are the background to almost white subject delicate chameleon excellent and beautiful in it simplicity.

Expose frequently photos     posted on 29th of february, 2008

I was reading about this technique in photography, the meaning is that the background of photo is exposed different then the subject. Try to find such photos in Dreamstime with that mystical expressions and choose some of them to illustrate the idea.

That technique can also be done in for example Photoshop it is difficult and the result is not identical to what camera can do, but let try. You can take two photos of the same scene but with two different expose and then in graphic program compound one image based on those two or just put layer with blur filter (Gaussian Blur). Have a fun…

Thank you for choosing my photo. I don't know if it's a good example for this technic through. I adjusted Levels in PS, a bit of sharpening and added an orange colored gradient. That's all! - posted by Linleo on March 03, 2008
I jut thought that it is a good example of this technique, not necessarily did by PS. It could also be made by good quality equipment. Ania - posted by Papuga2006 on March 03, 2008
Hey thanks for including my photo. But I must say on this specific one, I have not used any photoshop on this one. I generally use PS only for images that have to create a more colorful expression like this one - [imgl]3197589[/imgl] And I can't always do that because to use photoshop I have to use my friends PC as I cannot afford the original copy and I am against using pirated ones. - posted by Thefinalmiracle on March 03, 2008

Underwater architecture     posted on 29th of february, 2008

Next to beautiful colorful underwater nature we can find some things, objects, garbage that are not natural to this environment like wrecks, airplanes, bicycles and even locomotive wheels. Are they only garbage from our culture or the specific architecture of the deep oceans.

Someday we can also be a part of this strange blue architecture and become underwater people.

International Woman’s Day in Poland     posted on 29th of february, 2008

This holiday is marked on March 8 every year in Poland.

Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries but in Poland it started from Russia I think (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). It was a time that every man usual gives to woman, girl, mother, wife or female friend, some small gift usual cloves necessarily red. Why because those flowers are inexpensive, and it was a politically correctly to give such flower to every woman (My father even now say that he do not celebrate this day because it was the communistic propaganda, but he only say so, he buy my mother bouquet of roses for this occasion).

For some time, the day lost its political accent, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love ...

Wild nature     posted on 29th of february, 2008

I saw some photos from exhibition Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2007 and was wandering if I could find such artistic perfection, technical advanced and natural beautiful photos at Dreamstime stock. I choose some from many that I think should join to this exhibition.

 

Underwater photo of hippopotamus is my favorite in this category. Great, big, dangerous hippo swimming in light blue water. He seems to be sleeping I calm but this animal is known as the most dangerous in Africa especially in the water. Maybe the photographer will consider imparting with his skills or narrate the story related to it.

Discover objects     posted on 29th of february, 2008

One of the most popular subjects in Dreamstime are macro photos of objects, nature and other. They discover another world for us by closing to it.

Simple clock is complicated mechanism, leaf is textured map of lines and simple roll twine is pointing the black hole in side. Without some description from photographer/illustrator I could not guess what is on some of photo.

Guess what is it on this photo. Remarkable

Favorite subject of my husband     posted on 29th of february, 2008

The tiger is a mammal, the largest of four ‘big cats’ Lines, Tigers, Jaguars and Leopards, lives in eastern and southern Asia, reaching up to four meters long and weighing also a lot. The most recognizable feature is his pattern fur dark vertical strips on orange and white.

Big, majestic, dangerous and beautiful wild animal is a symbol of power, life energy and dignity. That’s what my husband says and that is why he loved them so much. There are same more examples of what my Andrzej is loved most.
