Lens

her stern gaze present on book covers and articles seems to give off a sense of feminine mystique. But after careful venture into her work, it is my understanding that while feminism plays a role in what Didion tackles as a writer, it is merely one lens out of many that she uses to advance her writing. Didion has had an upbringing in Northern California as a “daughter of the Golden West” (Fabian 1), and the stories of her family, along with personal observations during…

light will travel through the aqueous humor which is a watery substance between the cornea and lens. Once the light hits the lens, attached to the ciliary body, it is focused onto the retina. The ciliary bodies pull on the edge of the lens in order to change its shape so that it can focus the light onto the retina correctly. The third mechanism requires the correct focus of light onto retina by the lens. As the light is being reflected onto the back of our eyeballs (retina) it is traveling…

Going to New York City of technology for a few years now, I started in 2013 I didn’t really know what major I really wanted to be in. I first thought I was going to do nursing or rad tech but the more I learned about the majors I was not really interested in them. Some of the duties you had to do especially for nursing really pushed me away from the major. So I recently became undecided in what I wanted to do. Out of nowhere I found out about Vision Care. I didn’t even know about this department…

When looking at a flashlight, it can be determined that the flashlight itself resembles a parabola. Flashlights are supposed to be able to focus on a single point, which is infinitely small. Since a flashlight is supposed to mirror a parabola, the flashlight has similar components as a parabola. The filament, which is the part of the flashlight that gives light, resembles the focus on a parabola. The filament is a three dimensional object so it is infinitely larger than a point, yet the filament…

What’s the most common word that comes to mind in a week? Mine is sorry. Most common phrase? Always beginning in under, less than or lacking. You are underrepresented in society. You are lacking in the opportunities many other people have had. You’re less than prepared. Sorry for letting you down. But those are just words. Seeing is believing. Who do you see as you look in the mirror? Someone's loved one, someone’s support, or simply someone? Yeah, it takes one to know one and all that jazz, but…

The Kinect V2 is composed of a time-of-flight continues-wave camera with a resolution of 512*424 pixels (width*height), an RGB camera with a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels (width*height), an array of 4 microphones and some electronics for signal elaboration. The camera is able to acquire images at a maximum frequency of 30 Hz. Sending out invisible structures pulses into the scene whilst measuring the individual traveling time of each point in the pulse (See figure 3.1, page 16). The operating…

Journal Entry 1 I personally have myopia. I am negative 3.75 on each eye and wear eye contacts everyday. There are many things that are annoying about being myopic: wearing contacts, not being able to see without them, feeling blind without them, making sure you always have an extra pair of contacts on you in case you lose one. One of the more frustrating aspects of being myopic is whenever you are not wearing your contacts or glasses and you run into someone you know – and you have no idea who…

1. How are the photographs taken with a 3D microscope different than those taken with a regular camera? How are they similar? The 3D microscope photographs are used to show detail that a regular photograph could not, for example at a crime scene. The similarity is the basic image, it is the same image but the only difference it has with a 3D microscope is the detail shown. 2. How can photography allow us to view the world around us in different ways? Photography captures not a second of the…

Shot #1: I zoomed in on the roof of our chicken coop to illustrate horizontal lines. The chicken coop is built with all the lines listed, however, the longest of the lines, are horizontal. So, the horizontal lines made for the longest shot time. Shot #2: I focused in on the gold stitch, the other toys in the background blurred, creating the depth of field visual element. Shot #3: I zoomed in on tree bark at a local park to illustrate texture. Shot #4: I zoomed in on a building window arch to…

1. look of the photo you are taking by altering the natural colors, or enhancing certains points of shadowing or lighting. 2. What is a polarizing filter? What benefits does one have for photographs? Polarizing filters improve the saturation and make the colors appear deeper and saturated. Instead of seeing a glare or uneven lighting. 3. What is one piece of equipment that should be used, if possible, for panoramic photography (in addition to the camera)? Why? A tripod is an important piece of…
