Witness and The Quakers

This website was one of the more relevant to our class, with a focus on the environment:

They're everywhere

The lack of a creed or clear description of Quaker beliefs has
sometimes led to the misconception that Friends do not have beliefs or that one can believe anything and be a Friend. Most Quakers take the absence of a creed as an invitation and encouragement to exercise an extra measure of personal responsibility for the understanding and articulation of Quaker faith. Rather than rely on priests or professional theologians, each believer is encouraged to take seriously the personal disciplines associated with spiritual growth. Out of lives of reflection, prayer, faithfulness, and service flow the statements of belief, both in word and in deed.

--from Pacific Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice

"We utterly deny all outward wars and strife and fightings with outward weapons, for any end or under any pretence whatsoever. And this is our testimony to the whole world."

Some tilt photography how to sites.

http://tiltshiftmaker.com/

Does it online for you, here's an example

This is one of the better photoshop tutorials I found.

Tilt-shift, is it the wrong term?

Tilt is rotating the camera on a horizontal axis, so pointing the lens up or down.

Shift is when the lens moves in order to shift the image circle on the film or sensor.

"Many such images are described as employing "tilt-shift", but the term is something of a misnomer because shift is seldom involved and is usually unrelated to the effect produced. The term may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically."

-from wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography

a) Keeping the camera level, with an ordinary lens, captures only the bottom portion of the building.

(b) Tilting the camera upwards results in vertical perspective.

c) Shifting the lens upwards results in a picture of the entire subject.

Example of what a tilt-shift lens looks like for slrs

So the answer is, I think, yes, unless you're talking about the lens itself.

Here's a metaphor i thought of walking in the cold wind, "hood-scoop", as in the hood scoop on a car and a hood on your jacket that scoop cold air down your shirt.

Also this is sent from my phone, did it work?
