Kitty litter facial mask- (helps to bring out impurities)

1 bag of cat litter (must be 100% natural clay)

Water

Favorite essential oil

Mix 2 Tablespoon of litter with water until you have the consistency of clay- add essential oil for more spa effect.  Leave on for 15 minutes

 

Dark Circles under eyes:

1 plum

1t.Lemon juice

Mix meat of plum and lemon juice together.  Use cotton ball to place under eyes. Leave on for 20 min.

Also- you can use crushed mint leaves under eyes to help with dark circles

 

Sunburn bleaching cream

2 T fullers earth

I T. witch-hazel

1 t. honey

4 ground cloves

Hair and humidity

Need help controlling your hair in this humidity?

Weekly treatment- Mix equal parts of mayo, olive oil, and egg. Apply weekly to hair and leave on for 30 min. This home remedy will help to condition the cuticles- which in turn helps with frizzy hair

Summer means fun in the water, sun and everywhere outdoors.  It also means a lot of pictures.  Austin Pittman of Bedford Camera & Video has some pointers for taking the best pictures to capture those moments in the summer fun.

 

  • Summer is by far the most popular time for photography
    • Lots of sunshine
    • Vacations
    • Holidays
    • Good weather
  • Can also be one of the most tricky times to take pictures
    • Light can be very bright and overbearing
    • Lots of contrast
    • Heat, humidity, salt, and sand (if you go to the beach) can be very hard on your equipment
  • Lets talk about how to get the best pictures during the summer months
    • If at all possible, try to avoid taking pictures in the middle of the day
      • The light is very bright, and creates so much contrast that is becomes hard to get good pictures, and you lose detail
      • If you are taking pictures of people the midday sun creates shadows around faces, and especially eyes.
      • Also the air is very hazy during the middle of the day, especially in the south.
      • The other advantage to avoiding the middle of the day is that in case you haven’t noticed, it tends to get a little hot in Arkansas in the summer!!
      • You can also use a circular polarizing filter to cut down on contrast, make your colors “pop”
    • Try to take you picture either early in the morning before the sun gets high, or late in the evening
      • The light is much warmer, softer, and more appealing, and you will get much better pictures just by waiting until your light is better
      • If you are forced to take pictures in the middle of the day, use your pop up or on camera flash to fill in shadows
        • You will have to override the automatic setting on your camera in order for your flash to fire
    • Composition
      • Make sure when you compose your picture to crop in as tight as possible
        • This helps to eliminate distracting elements in your background
        •  Unless you are taking sweeping landscapes or panoramic pictures
        • Turn your camera vertical if you are taking pictures of people, which helps to eliminate wasted space in your frame
        • Take pictures at unique and interesting angles, so your shots are different than everyone else’s
  • Now lets talk about how to protect your equipment
    • The first thing to do is make sure you have a good quality camera case
      • Show pelican case for beach, canoing, boating, etc
      • Show regular case
    • Cameras very susceptible to salt, sand, and humidity, so be careful about taking your camera to the beach, and keep it protected
      • Or buy a waterproof/sand proof camera specifically for beach, boat, water pictures (show Olympus Tough camera)
