Photography with Imre Z. Balint: Episode 9 - Polarizing Filters

Wow. To say the least, I think Episode 9 has taken by far the longest to complete. For several evenings last week I spent my time researching the technical aspects of light polarization, to ensure that I would represent it as accurately as I could for the video. Then all day yesterday I wrote and finalized the script, along with recording the narration and shooting all the video. As for the editing and uploading, well that was all done today. Yet, I still somehow managed to squeeze a little extra energy out of me to complete some details on my Facebook profile. Feel free to become a fan by the way!

As I'm getting hungry and my budgies need their cage cleaned, I'll write my supplementary post for this episode tomorrow evening. To view my videos in glorious HD, check out my YouTube Channel, where you can also subscribe so you can stay up-to-date with my videos.

Well here I go again! I just finished Rave Girl: Change My Mind , and I've already started on a new sci-fi / fantasy web novel, Protostar: Error in Transmission . This is my first foray into this arena, but I'm hoping it'll have some benefits. First off, this book is currently free to read! So click the link above or the book cover below, and have at it. Second, this book is incomplete. Only chapter one is done, and I'll upload the rest as soon as I'm done writing each one. I'm aiming for a chapter a week... we'll see how that goes, but I should be able to pull it off. Anywho, below is the description. I think this'll be a fantastic story and merges the worlds of science fiction and fantasy, in a hopefully fun and entertaining way. Enjoy! ***** Captain Kane St. James never expected his post-service life to be as exciting and outlandish as this. Leading the IFS Protostar, a retrofitted frigate now scout vessel, St. James and his crew of five would commonl

Astrophotography, Part 1; Supplemental Post (B) - Photography with Imre - Episode 32

In this supplemental post I'll be discussing photography using telescopes, in contrast to  part "A" of this two part text that is focused on photographing the night sky without one. A Little about Telescopes and Eyepieces Before getting into the photography side of this topic, let's first take a quick look at the three families of telescopes that I mentioned in the episode . I've only written fairly quick summaries below with the intention of providing you with some overall information. If you are interested in finding out more (and believe me there is a lot to learn about scopes), check out the Web resources section. Refractors:  Refractors are basically your classic telescope style; a tube with an objective at the front and eyepiece at the back. The objective is usually comprised of two or three optical elements, the former design generally referred to as achromatic and the latter as apochromatic. Both designs reduce the effects of spherical and chromatic
