Note that the subject and the light together create the dynamic range of a scene. (The same is true of shade, which is why portrait photographers often prefer to position their subjects under trees during midday photoshoots!) Whereas overcast light is very flat the world under a blanket of clouds features far less tonal variation. High-contrast light, like you find at noon on a sunny day, creates lots of highlights and shadows, resulting in a high dynamic range scene. If you place a dark subject on a dark background or a light subject on a light background, you’ll have a low dynamic range scene (i.e., very limited tonal variation).īut if you place a dark subject on a light background, like a black motorcycle in front of a snow-covered hill, you’ll generally have a high dynamic range scene. ![]() Other subjects are dark, such as black motorcycles, oak tree bark, and light-blocking curtains. What causes high versus low dynamic range?ĭynamic range is caused by a combination of your subject and the light.Ĭertain subjects are bright, such as silver cars, white egrets, and snowy landscapes. And once the dynamic range of the scene exceeds the dynamic range capacity of your camera, then you get blown-out highlights and/or clipped shadows (i.e., loss of detail at the dynamic range extremes), which is a major photography no-no and should generally be avoided.įor example, a standard camera might offer a 12-stop dynamic range, which makes it very easy to capture an image like this one: The details are irrelevant what’s important is that a scene with 10 stops of dynamic range has greater tonal variation than a scene with 5 stops of dynamic range, and so on.Įvery camera is capable of capturing a certain dynamic range. In photography, dynamic range is quantified in terms of stops, where each stop corresponds to a doubling of light levels. So a scene full of bland, gray midtones – such as an elephant against a tan wall – has a low dynamic range, while a scene with intense highlights and shadows – such as a sunset over a shadowy forest – has a high dynamic range. The more tonal range present in a scene, the greater the dynamic range. What is dynamic range in photography?ĭynamic range refers to the range of tones in a scene, from the darkest, blackest shadows to the brightest, most brilliant highlights.

Good sources of mulch include bark chips, straw, and leaves. Mulching at least 4 inches deep at the base of the plant can increase soil temperatures enough to prevent cold damage to the herb roots. The cold temperatures of winter may damage or kill some perennial herbs. ![]() The woody or dead center of the plant can be removed and placed in a compost pile. Be sure to water the sections after replanting to aid in establishment. Sections can be replanted in new locations. Use a shovel to cut the plant into sections taking as much root as possible. Divide herbs in early spring or fall when the plant becomes too large or the center dies, usually every two to four years. Several perennial herbs will benefit from division including: tarragon ( Artemisia dracunculus), sweet woodruff ( Galium odoratum), horehound ( Marrubium vulgare), oregano ( Origanum spp.), chives ( Allium spp.), lovage ( Levisticum spp.), mints ( Mentha spp.), lavender ( Lavandula spp.), and thyme ( Thymus spp.). Additional Care for Perennial Herbs Division Avoid over irrigation, as herb flavor may be negatively affected. When needed, irrigate until the top 6 to 8 inches of the soil are moist. Fertilizing promotes plant growth, which can make the plant vulnerable to damage or death from cold winter temperatures.Ĭheck soil moisture using a trowel, moisture meter, or your fingers, and irrigate when the soil is dry a few inches below ground. Stop fertilizing perennial plants when fall temperatures are around freezing. Fertilization should be based on soil-test recommendations. In general, herbs do not require large amounts of fertilizer and will lose flavor when over-fertilized. A good trick is to cover the seed packet with plastic (plastic wrap or baggies work well) and staple it to a wooden stake or use the ready-made plant label that came with the purchased plant. Label the herbs individually or at the end of a row as a reminder of what was planted. Avoid overcrowding because it can lead to favorable environments for insect and disease pests. Proper spacing will facilitate optimal plant growth. ![]() When planting, space herbs according to the recommendations on seed packets or plant labels. ![]() ( Coriandrum sativum), cumin ( Cuminum cyminum), parsley ( Petroselinum crispum), fennel ( Foeniculum vulgare), caraway ( Carum carvi), and borage ( Borago officinalis). These include anise ( Pimpinella anisum), chervil ( Anthriscus cerefolium), dill ( Anethum graveolens), cilantro/coriander It is important to note that some herbs do not transplant well and should be directly sown from seed.

Plant companies can be readily found online. Often, you can find a wider variety of seeds and transplants through plant companies than garden centers. It is difficult to impossible to improve plant quality. When purchasing transplants, pick plants free of insect and disease pests and that look healthy. Seeds and transplants are commonly purchased at garden centers. Herbs should be planted based on the recommendations on the seed packet or plant label. Removing the entire weed, including the roots, will prevent weeds from vegetatively propagating. This is also a good time to remove any weeds from the soil. Mix peat, horticultural sand, vermiculite, and/or compost in with the soil, backfill the area, and then level the soil. To correct this problem, remove the top 12 inches of soil from the area that will be planted in the early spring prior to planting. If water remains pooled on the top of the soil several hours after watering or a rain event, then the soil drainage is poor and should be amended to improve water infiltration. It is best to plant herbs in soil with good drainage. For example, chervil ( Anthriscus cerefolium) grows best in full shade, thyme ( Thymus spp) will grow well in partial shade to full sun, and sage ( Salvia officinalis) grows best in full sun. This information can be found on seed packets or plant labels. Select the herbs to be grown based on the light exposure of the site they will be planted in. Herbs can be incorporated into any garden, planted in spaces between shrubs and trees, or be grown formally in a garden of their own. Herbs are some of the easiest plants to grow because they tolerate a variety of soil types and have relatively few insect and disease pests. ![]() This will result in a permanent ban from the subreddit.
![]() Mike's fascination with the history of Derry is informed not only by his experiences with Pennywise, but also by his connection to his father. However, the choice to give the history plot to Ben meant that IT: Chapter Two needed to change some of the motivation behind Mike's decision to remain in Derry. Related: IT: One Book Character The Movies Utterly Wasted So, rather than invent new stories for both characters, giving the history connection to Ben was a pragmatic choice for the film. Ben is also missing a key piece of his story from the novel - his skill for architecture is discovered when the Losers build a dam in the Barrens. Mike learns much of what he knows from his father, and in doing away with that relationship, the film removes his hypothetical access to that information, leaving Ben as the next in line to trace Pennywise’s many appearances throughout the town’s history. It’s a logical enough shift, given Ben’s love of the library in the novel, but it does take away a big part of Mike’s story. Mike spends his adulthood working on his own history of Derry in the novel, but in IT: Chapter One, it is Ben Hanscom who does research for the gang. Mike’s father is a very involved parent, and teaches Mike a great deal about Derry’s history, which informs Mike's life as an adult quite significantly. While it would not have served the film as well as it does the novel, Mike’s relationship with his father is quite beautiful, marked by a tenderness most of the other Losers don’t get at home. Mike’s own relationship to racism isn’t explored as fully as it is in the novel, even though his grandfather’s advice can certainly be taken in that context. ![]() The issue of racism is addressed in the film, but mostly as it exists as a form of hatred in Derry. ![]() This comes out especially when his father teaches him about what he must face as a young black man in a small, mostly white town. Though Mike still works on the family farm, his father is much gentler in terms of the lessons he teaches to Mike. In the novel, however, Mike has a very close and loving relationship with his parents, especially his father. It’s effective, and lends itself well to the idea that adults ( especially those in Derry) are cold and often completely absent when children need them. Furthermore, Mike’s grandfather uses the sheep as a metaphor, explaining the dangers of the world to Mike in a somewhat harsh way. This is a key motif throughout the film, chiefly because the bolt gun they use on the farm becomes Mike’s primary weapon when facing off with Pennywise. The two work together on the family farm, where Mike is troubled by the routine execution of sheep. Though he grows up with two parents in the novel, Mike is raised by his grandfather in Muschietti’s films. Let’s take a look at what IT: Chapter One changed about Mike Hanlon. It is no surprise that the IT films shave down on some character’s development and backstory not everything can make it into the film. In the novel, Mike is definitely consumed by his work, but his dedication comes from a different place, connected to fonder memories. This decision, however, is strongly linked to factors from his backstory that are changed for the film, and the influence of these changes can be seen in It: Chapter Two, where Mike’s dedication to stopping Pennywise is re-framed more as an obsession. One hallmark of Mike’s character is his choice, in adulthood, to remain in Derry, waiting for It to return, vowing to call the Losers back home to honor the promise they made as children. Related: IT: Every Character Who Appears in Another Stephen King Story As is the case with most adaptations, the skeletal plot remains, but many details of Mike’s life are rearranged and altered, mostly in an effort to distill Stephen King's massive work into a two hour film. ![]() But there are some key differences between IT the film and the original novel, especially regarding Mike's backstory. When the Losers help protect him, Mike joins the fold, sharing his experiences with his new friends and joining them in the fight against Pennywise. Mike Hanlon is a later addition to the Losers Club, befriending the group after running into them in their favorite hangout, The Barrens, while being chased by racist bullies.

I would not say that my couponing habit was ‘extreme’ like some showcased on the TLC hit series, but I did have a pretty good stockpile of dried goods, paper products, and junk food at one point. But, when you do the math, if you save a minimum of $200 a month by using the stockpile-coupon method and you are only investing 3 hours per week, then you are paying yourself $16.67 per hour.A number of years ago I took a couponing workshop to learn how to save a lot of money on everything from groceries to clothing to furniture. I’m busy too and there are weeks where I just cannot breathe let alone look in the direction of my coupon binder. But, if there are items I need that are not on sale elsewhere or perhaps that I just notice on the shelves, the prices are crazy high compared to the rock bottom sales prices which come available at other stores every six to eight weeks. When I can go and match sales ads from other stores to make a one-stop shop, it works. I have tried over and over again to go to Walmart and snatch a deal. I will just shop at Walmart because they always have the lowest price so who needs coupons! Of course, a coupon matchup list works best for a person who organizes their coupons inserts by date. She even has a Coupon Database for finding the coupons which might not be listed through the matchups. Personally, I use Southern Savers and would not go to the store without checking there first. Did you just say that you match the sales advertisements to the coupons yourself? Save yourself some time and energy by using a website which offers coupon matchups. ![]() Matching the sales advertisements to the coupons is too much work. But, watch for the next sale and restock your pantry. Now, if your stockpile is low, you need something NOW, and it is not on sale, check the price per unit and pick up the generic if it is a better value. If a brand name item is at a rock bottom sales price and you can use a coupon on top of that price, you will save a large percentage in comparison to the generic product. This is a HUGE myth but some people refuse to believe anything else. Generics are cheaper than name brand products even when I use a coupon. ![]() Still, just from that selection, our savings are significant. Our family does not eat convenience foods and our cleaners are homemade so my coupon use is limited to coupons for personal products and toiletries, dairy, cereals,diapers, and pet care items. (Check out my COUPONS tab for a long list of online coupon websites or DAY SEVEN of the Online Coupon Workshop for more information about where to find coupons.) Maybe you just do not know where to look. Whether organics, produce, dairy (I have a coupon for milk on my printer as I type this)… coupons come available for almost everything eventually. I apologize for the sarcasm, but these days, with the popularity of coupons, you can find coupons for just about anything. Really? You don’t bathe? Use shampoo? Deodorant? There are not any coupons for what I use. So, I decided to tackle some of those misconceptions. Beliefs that coupons are not worth the effort. ![]() Ensuring that the displayed travel times are accurate provides motorists with confidence that the information provided is indeed accurate and reliable. Travel time information can also be used to assess the overall performance of the transportation network. The department is constantly performing travel time verification, both in the field and by comparison with other available data sources, to perform quality control and quality assurance checks on this critical traveler information data. The minimum accuracy and maximum latency of travel times calculated and disseminated by WisDOT is governed by United States Department of Transportation Federal Rules and Regulations.
