Why Some People Don't Look Good In Photos?

I have been taking photos of people since many years. It is common for me to observe that some people who look good normally don’t look good in photos, whereas some people look good in photos than what they are. It is not the fault of the camera nor is it the weather or the background. It is called photogenic thing which is usually seen with our movie or TV celebrities.

Some people who say that there is no such thing like photogenic, has no good experience with photographs. Though you cannot do anything with your god-given face, there are some tips that will make a person look photogenic. And a good photographer always suggests his clients with tips of looking good in photographs. There are some people who get irritated with the suggestions of photographer, but if they want to look good they have to obey him.

People these days have many soft wares like photo-shop to mend their photos, so photogenic is not an issue now.

Drinking Tea Can Be Better Experience

Most commonly offered drink by most of us to our guests is tea. Tea is refreshing and many like the taste of it. Everything is made by hand, leaves are picked by hand, sorted, processed and then brew by hand. So, much effort is put for just single cup of tea.

Most of us have a habit of tasting the dish before serving to others and same can be the case with tea. Process starts with opening the can or pack of tea powder and smell of it touches your nose within seconds and you enjoy the smell of it, even want to smell for many times. Then experience the color and texture of dry leaves, the whole leaves are curled or rolled with minimal dust is treated as best quality tea.

Based on the instruction on the pack, brew them after brew the tea powder is ready and excellent tea is prepared with this. After brewing them you can observe the color of tea after brewing them. Finally, each tea has different color like black tea has dark reddish tint etc and enjoy the flavor, which you like the most, and you can also experiment with different types of teas.

In this fast moving society many of them prefers junk food even though it is not good for health. Junk food is fat loaded with high sugar contents and other unhealthy elements.

Many people often wonder why it is important to have a healthy diet. Life at times can be very busy and some people just don’t have time to cook.

A Different Approach of Super-Hero Movie

I never liked Bruce Willis in super hero movies. He has some other capability and some other charm. I don’t know why he always tries to be in shoes of a super hero and exaggerate himself when he could do much more in other themes.

But his performance in the movie Unbreakable was remarkable. Though the plot and the story line were boring, it had some good performances by the cast.

The movie could have fared well, if the Bruce’s character had little more power in the plot like in those classic comics of other super hero movies.

I have never heard of any successful super hero taking much time to be convinced that he is a super hero. People don’t use this formula because they know how it embraces audience. I wonder how Shyamalan dared to use this in this movie.

I am sure I am not going to purchase any DVD of this movie because it is not worth it.

Do man-eaters still exist?

When I say about man-eaters, the Tsavo incident is the most famous one. The victims of the attacks of two man eating lions are as many as 563 people. Not a cool number. There was actually a film released named The Ghost and the Darkness in 1996, named after those two lions.

Then the next famous incidents are the adventures of Jim Corbett in India where he fought with savage tigers. Of course the book on his experiences is also very famous.

Africa and India are said to be the most areas where these incidents occurred. Not only lions and tigers, animals like bears, wolves, leopards, jaguars were said to attack humans.

Whatever may be the reason for this, people have started hunting down all the animals which they thought are dangerous. This resulted in extinct of these animals all around the world, thus causing a great threat to the natural food chain.

Immaculate Beauty: "The Planet Earth"

It would be a wonderful experience seeing the earth from space. Earth, our home planet, is a beautiful blue and white ball when seen from space. The third planet from the Sun, it is the largest of the inner planets. Earth is the only planet known to support life and to have liquid water at the surface. The amazing thing is that the liquid water is about 79% and the land is just 21% of the earth. When we see a dazzling collection of photographs of Earth taken from space we get an idea of how beautiful earth really looks like.

One of the most fantastic records of Earth's beauty, Seen from space, Earth has no national borders, no military zones, and no visible fences. The entire atmosphere of the planet-- all the air we breathe, all the sky we fly through, even the ozone layer is visible as the thinnest rind. The home planet book gives us the amazing pictures of earth and that reveals the awesome beauty of our mother earth.

The green forests, mighty hills, valleys, mountains, the great golden deserts, beautiful islands and flowing rivers all these made the earth as heaven for the living beings. Earth at its most marble-like and blue is not just a feast for the eyes that nature gives us. The Earth is a unique planet which supported life for billions of years.
