20 More Photographs Taken at the Exact Right Angle

Clip Source: www.bspcn.com

What is the most critical element to taking amazing photographs? There are a number of candidates including lighting, focus, timing and camera type, but one device has been at the heart of producing some of the funniest and strangest pictures around: proper angle. Sorted into three categories, here are some awesome examples of images taken at just the right angle! If you enjoy these, you may want to look at the others in the series: 20 Photos at the Exact Right Angle and 25 Photos at the Exact Right Time. These also follow in the rich tradition of The 7 Giants in the Streets and The Amazing Little People of London.

usually used to comic effect in perfect-angled photographs, is the use of overlap to create an illusion of an impossible, unlikely or entirely strange set of circumstances. These kinds of images are easy to stage, it’s catching candid ones or creating compellingly staged ones that is the real challenge.

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess".

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want."

Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

Eddie Izzard Quotes

I grew up in Europe, where the history comes from.

I wanna live 'til I die, no more, no less.

I'm a one-man idiot.

If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.

MAC gave me 55 lipsticks to test. These are the same lipsticks I got caught stealing by the police when I was 15. How ironic.

Never put a sock in a toaster.

So the American government lied to the Native Americans for many, many years, and then President Clinton lied about a relationship, and everyone was surprised! A little naive, I feel!

They tend to come out a colour called 'Pants left in wash'

You know, Catholicism, we believed in the teachings of Cathol, and everything it stood for.

clipper's remarks: Later, Seán's brother Gerry, who runs the pub, tells me an old Paddy Coyne's story. Long ago, there was apparently a "sign rivalry" between Mannion's in Clifden, Hamilton's in Leenane, and Paddy Coyne's in Tullycross, all of which were not only pubs but general merchants and undertakers. Mannion's traded under the slogan "For All Your Needs, from Maternity to Eternity". So, Hamilton's went one better: "For All Your Needs, from Womb to Tomb". Paddy Coyne and Sons thought hard, and eventually settled on their own slogan. "Paddy Coyne's - For All You Wish For, from Erection to Resurrection."

Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that there's storytelling going on here.

STORYTELLING: You never know what you might stumble upon on a stray night in Connemara. In this pub, drinking takes second place to storytelling

AROUND EIGHT O'CLOCK, it starts to get crowded. I've been sitting here, with my bottle of Miller and my Newsweek, for quite a while. In this Connemara pub, I couldn't look more like a blow-in if I had orange ears and five eyes.

But that doesn't matter. I know, because I've been coming to Paddy Coyne's in Tullycross for years, sitting by the fire in the cosy front room. I still smile when I see the sign over the bar: "No Credit Given to Women" (beside it there is one that reads simply, "No Credit"). Wednesday is the best night here.

Outside, there is a small blackboard with "Smoking Area" chalked on to it, and a sign pointing towards the "Beer Garden". Tonight, however, there is no beer garden. Under the hanging baskets and the old beer ads, there is a stage.

Puck Fair: Ireland's Oldest Fair

clipper's remarks: It is said that in recognition of the service rendered by the goat, the people decided to institute a special festival in his honour and this festival has been held ever since.

Other legends regarding the origin of "King Puck" relates to the time of Daniel O'Connell, who in 1808 was an unknown barrister. It seems that before that year, the August fair held in Killorglin had been a toll fair, but an Act of the British Parliament empowered the Viceroy or Lord Lieutenant in Dublin to make an order, at his own discretion, making it unlawful to levy tolls at cattle, horse or sheep fairs. Tolls in Killorglin at this time were collected by the local landlord - Mr Harman Blennerhassett - who had fallen into bad graces with the authorities in Dublin Castle and as a result the Viceroy robbed him of his right to levy tolls. Blennerhassett enlisted the services of the young Daniel O'Connell, who in an effort to reverse the decision decided that goats were not covered by the document and that th

August 10th, 11th, 12th

Killorglin, in the geographical heart of Kerry, is the venue for one of Ireland's most unusual street festivals - Puck Fair. The fair is one of Ireland's oldest and longest celebrated and is held without fail on 10th, 11th and 12th August every year with 12 hours of free family street entertainment.

It is related that while the "Roundheads" were pillaging the countryside around Shanara and Kilgobnet at the foot of the McGillycuddy Reeks, they routed a herd of goats grazing on the upland. The animals took flight before the raiders, and the he-goat or "Puck" broke away on his own and lost contact with the herd. While the others headed for the mountains he went towards Cill Orglain (Killorglin) on the banks of the Laune. His arrival there in a state of semi exhaustion alerted the inhabitants of the approaching danger and they immediately set about protecting themselves and their stock.

Gnomes In Crisis

The gnome population of Britain is in crisis according to a new report published exclusively in the Null. If nothing is done, the report's authors warn, gnomes could vanish from the British countryside all together.

"Having enjoyed relative protection and prosperity for the last two hundred years, the UK gnome population is in freefall," says Holly Larchlike, one of the scientists involved. "We are calling for urgent action to protect these helpless, rosy-cheeked denizens of Middle England."

How gnome numbers have crashed in recent times

One of the most significant threats to the gnomes is the rapid rise in popularity of garden decking. Known as the Groundforce Effect, vast expanses of domestic decking are limiting the amount of space left in gardens.

There has to be a concerted effort to increase gnomeland security," continues Larchlike, who looks much like a gnome herself. "They carry out many important garden functions, yet in t

Smalldon believes the rock art has suffered since mining took off in the Pilbara, which holds some of the richest mineral deposits on earth, in the 1960s.

"We had nearly one million panels of rock art," Smalldon said.

Aboriginal Rock Art at Risk

July 25, 2008 -- Australia's greatest ancient Aboriginal rock art is at risk of being damaged or destroyed because it sits at the epicenter of the country's resources boom, experts say.

The etchings of men and animals on the rocks of the Burrup Peninsula, some of which are believed to be up to 30,000 years old, lie in Western Australia's remote and mineral-laden Pilbara region.

Images carved onto the red rocks scattering the landscape include kangaroos, lizards and emu tracks as well as the extinct native Tasmanian tiger which died out on the mainland 6,000 years ago.

Among the most significant panels are those showing human faces and activities and what experts believe are mythical figures.

"One of the pictures is depicting movement, is showing a man climbing a tree; probably to go hunting a possum or something like that," says archaeologist and anthropologist Sue Smalldon.

"The depiction of movement is quite rare in historic art around the world."

The Writing of the Constitution, (1789) by Lee Lawrie, Pierced Stone Panel South Facade

The third of three documents critical to the founding of America: The U.S. Constitution--1789.

These are the Founding Fathers and this is where your Constitutional Rights were born. It established the Separation of Powers, the Separation of Church and State, The Bill of Rights and built on the social contract, pioneered by Hebrew Law, Roman Law, English Law. All of these documents created covenants between the government and the governed.

There are certain limits to the powers of the Central government, and these are judged constitutional or not by the Supreme Court.

That is why the court must be non-partisan: To preserve equality before the law, and to protect the rights of the least powerful in this nation.

The Constitution belongs to All Americans. It is not something that was drafted by an occupying army in a foreign land. It built upon millenia of civilizations

Cooking with My Punk-Ass Little Sister: Penne a la Betsy!

Ah, is there anything sweeter on earth than having your punk-ass little sister visit? Mine’s visiting this week, which means I’ve totally regressed back to childhood and the water’s great! We’ve sipped wine, laughed until we’ve experienced stress incontinence, and cooked until our fingers are pruney and falling off our hands. And our tummies are plump and full.

Marlboro Man had to go out of town for a couple of days, so one of the things Betsy and I made was our favorite pasta dish of all time. I taught her how to make it long, long ago, just after I’d left Los Angeles. I was a food snob extraordinaire, and I decided I needed to impart all my culinary knowledge to my sister, who hadn’t yet left for college. Among the many dishes I felt compelled to share with her was this pasta, made with an unbeatable combination of shrimp, tomato sauce, cream, garlic, wine and herbs. Then she left home

Gipsy Kings

clipper's remarks: But they began playing rumba flamenca because "we liked to watch pretty girls dance," said Nicolas.

Latin American beats had been joined with flamenco by gitanos since at least the 1950s, mixing complex strumming with rhythmic, percussive tapping on their guitars' tops. The new Reyes generation — soon to meet and join up with three guitar-playing brothers from the Baliardo family — began creating more pop-oriented songs. They played at roma parties and at street corners until they got their chance to record under the group's new name, Gipsy Kings.

Sharp-eyed individuals might have noted that all the left-handed members of the group play guitars strung upside-down; this is usually as a result of the individuals' not having their own guitars when growing-up. Borrowing and playing a right-hander's the wrong way up was the only way to learn.

Gipsy Kings

Gipsy Kings are a group from Arles and Montpellier (specifically from a cité outside of Montpellier called Phobos) in France. Their parents fled from Spain during the Spanish Civil War. They are Roma musicians, best known for bringing Rumba Catalana, a pop-oriented version of traditional flamenco music to worldwide audiences. Their music has a particular Rumba Flamenca style, with pop influences; many songs of the Gipsy Kings fit social dances, such as Salsa and Rumba. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and Romani rhapsody meet salsa funk".^[1]

They explained the evolution of their sound in the 1996 PBS documentary of their lives and music "Tierra Gitana (Gipsy Ground)". Young brothers Nicholas, Canut and Paul Reyes accompanied their father, famed flamenco singer Jose Reyes, who started out singing "cante jondo (deep song)", traditional flamenco with long-running themes of passion, love, death, etc.
