...Evolving Photography After comparing print ads from the 80’s and today, you can see a lot has changed. The intent of the photography hasn’t neccicarly changed, but it’s simplified. Images have become more simple with only a few words vs. the 80’s where photography contained an article of info about the product. The photographers perspective has changed now to have the focus on a specific person or object, instead of the photo as a whole. Subjects still look into the camera. The background of images has also become much more simplified, so you focus on the subject instead of things going on in the back. Since the 80’s the number of print ads have gone up and have increased in size on each page. The photos change depending on the type of magazine they are in. Family photography now, has become more realistic with photos taken outside or in a more natural way than standing in front of a backdrop. Print ads have gone the same way as well. Subjects are posed to look more natural and casual. Families take photos preserve a moment as children grow and things change. A snapshot is something not taken with intention. They are typically taken to capture a memorable moment. Snapshots have an artistic value as they capture everyday life. Family photography has changed from less posed to more natural. People no longer all match in similar outfits and are posed in front of a backdrop. Throughout the next ten years photos will be taken more in HDR and have higher resolutions. Everything...

...------------------------------------------------- Harley-Davidson Question 1: What are Harley-Davidson’s current sources of competitive advantage? The challenge for a marketing strategy is to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. A competitive advantage is an advantage over competitors gained by offering consumers greater value, either by means of lower prices or by providing greater benefits and services that justify higher prices. At present, Harley-Davidson has a number of sources of competitive advantage. 1. Brand image: Since its inception, Harley-Davidson established an image of “raw power”, which became its major selling point. Throughout its history, Harley motorcycles were associated with people who were willing to break the traditional mold or willing to live on the edge. Its brand image reflected rugged individuality and the frontier spirit of the United States. This strong sense of nationalism connected to Harley motorcycles resulted in brand recognition and loyalty that continues to this day. Harley’s “tough” brand image is a competitive advantage in terms of attracting customers who favor or relate to this image. However, in some cases, its brand image is a competitive disadvantage because it does not appeal to certain target segments such as female riders. 2. Product customization: The most distinctive feature of Harley was the V-twin engine. The V-twin engine’s simple design allowed owners to tinker with their engines. At present...

Although he is no longer with us, he left behind a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. As my stepfather, my supporter, and my friend, he showed me the value of not only a hard days’ work, but also the importance of taking time to enjoy the precious moments life has to offer. By example, he taught me to take my work seriously, but to take myself lightly. His playful spirit will forever be an integral part of my daily life, and his gentle approach to loving others will always help guide me in each of my relationships. I am honored to have known such a tender and loving man. Copyright © 2009 by Mitche Graf. All rights reserved. Published by: Amherst Media, Inc. P.O.

Gadekar2 1 Department of Computer Engineering, JSPM’s Imperial College of Engineering & Research, Wagholi, Pune Bhosale.harshawardhan186@gmail.com 2 Department of Computer Engineering, JSPM’s Imperial College of Engineering & Research, Wagholi, Pune devendraagadekar84@gmail.com Abstract: The term ‘Big Data’ describes innovative techniques and technologies to capture, store, distribute, manage and analyze petabyte- or larger-sized datasets with high-velocity and different structures. Big data can be structured, unstructured or semi-structured, resulting in incapability of conventional data management methods. Data is generated from various different sources and can arrive in the system at various rates. In order to process these large amounts of data in an inexpensive and efficient way, parallelism is used. Big Data is a data whose scale, diversity, and complexity require new architecture, techniques, algorithms, and analytics to manage it and extract value and hidden knowledge from it. Hadoop is the core platform for structuring Big Data, and solves the problem of making it useful for analytics purposes. Hadoop is an open source software project that enables the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of commodity servers. It is designed to...

...1 Digitization: Image: Image representation: visual perception: The distinction between Human eye and photo camera 成像 imagation formation: Photo camera: * Lens has fixed local lenth. * Adjust the focal length by varying the distance between the lens and the imaging plane. Human eye: * Distance between the lens and retina is fixed. * Focal length for proper focus obatained by varing the shape of the lense. Question: All the center squares hv exactly the same intensity. However, they appear to the eye to become progressively darker as the background becomes lighter. Why? Other example? Answer: The human visual system tends to undershoot or overshoot around the boundary of regions of different intensities. e.g. Although the intensity of the stripes is constant, we actually perceive a brightness pattern that is strongly scalloped, especially near the boundaries. Therefore, perceived intensity is different from the actually intensity. e.g: a piece of paper that seems to be white when lying on a desk, but can appear totally black when used to shield the eyes while looking directly at a bright sky. 2 Matrix and Pixel: ● Matrix is the result of sampling quantization and , which is a matrix of real numbers. ● Each element of the matrix array is called an image element, picture element, pixel, or pel.

...4 Cinematography We are affected and defined by light. Light is the most important tool we have to work with, not only as cinematographers, but as people. —Laszlo Kovacs Courtesy Everett Collection Section 4.1 The “Look” of a Scene CHAPTER 4 Chapter Objectives After reading this chapter, students should: • Have a working knowledge of the cinematographer’s job • Understand the difference between cinematography and mise en scène and recognize the importance of each • Understand the importance of color and lighting and how they affect the tone and feel of a film • Be familiar with different methods of photographing a film, and with terms such as panning, tilting, tracking shots, deep focus, and aspect ratios • Understand how different focal length lenses affect the look of a shot • Recognize what special effects can do for a movie—and what they can’t do 4.1 The “Look” of a Scene W hen we are first introduced to Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather, played by Marlon Brando, the Mafia boss is sitting in the study of his home. Along with his consigliore, or adviser, Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), Corleone is listening to a line of people requesting favors on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Corleone is immensely powerful, as we learn by the scope of the favors he is asked to grant, which in one case includes the desire of a singer to be cast in a film to revive his musical career, and Corleone’s ability to grant them. However, it is not just what...
