Photography Challenge. Learning Objective: To experiment with perspective and composition. Giants and monsters: I really didn't like this one, it was confusing to take and hurt like hell! Although the challenge of it was fun. Reflections: This one I actually liked a lot, it was hard to find the perfect place to do it - and we didn't even find it - but it ended up looking quite good. Patterns in nature: This one was interesting as we had to find something that had quite a pretty pattern on it, which meant a lot of walking to find it. Hand Stars: This one was actually surprisingly hard. We had to think about who's hands went where, what would look best, and most surprisingly the lighting. Horseman: I absolutely hated this one, it was aching my knees, Kai had trouble bending his head to the side for too long. It was a disaster. Framing your shoot: This one was also very tricky, I was on my toes ...

Successful interview techniques. Listen. From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace. Don't talk too much. Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position's requirements and relating only that information. Don't be too familiar.   The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the inter...

Script Heritage day is a Cornish holiday, it officially started in July of the 1980's. It was started because of the hunting and trials of the Beast Of Bodmin. The story of the Beast of Bodmin is based on reports of an animal that looked like a big cat, such as a panther. Sightings were common in the  1980's-1990's . During the Bodmin Riding Festival, the beast is shown as a large hairy monster, which is pursued through the town by hunters known as “helliers”. Eventually the monster is caught and put on trial for his crimes, he is punished in various ways until left dead.  It has always taken place outside of Shire hall, which at the time it started was known as an Assizes court until 1988. This is why he is put on trial. Nobody knows if the beast really did exist back then,as there is no evidence, what do you think?    Bodmin Shire Hall 1919. Interview questions: What do you do with the beast? Do you take turns in the costume? ...
