Advantages: 180* Field of View, Color Correction Filters, Crisp Detail at close shots. Disadvantages: Only fixable to the Sony DSLR-A100 Camera.
...As a skateboarding photographer, I find that finding a decent quality lense is just as important as finding the camera itself, and the Sony SAL-16F28 is that high quality kind of lense. A superb fisheye lens with a look all its own -- a fascinating perspective on landscapes, cities, crowds and special events. With a 180 degrees angle of view and extraordinary corner-to-corner sharpness, this lens achieves crisp, clear detail from about 8 inches upwards. This lense also includes 4 dial-like filters, that can be used to adjust color correction, and red and blue tone elimination, ensuring that everything captured, is to a standard that the user is completely satisfied with. Only issue concerning this item, is that is only mountable on the Sony DSLR-A100 camera, although possibly fixable if an adapter is used. An amazing product, that I...
Advantages: Gives you something to do while thinking up a Review! Disadvantages: It's not quite the 'accepted' thing to do on Ciao!!
...Yes - I know it's another challenge or A - Z but as I'm at a loose end of what to do for my next review and this was sitting in my waiting reviews box for a month, I thought Why not? So I apologise now to those of you that hate 'em and encourage those who DO find them interesting to go ahead and do this one yourself!!
A. If you'd been born a girl instead of a boy or vice-versa, do you know what name(s) your parents would have given you?
As I had two older brothers, my parents wanted a girl next, so only had girl's names in mind. I was named after my Mum's mother, who's name was Sarah but it was shortened to Sal by her husband, (Mum's father) who'd died when Mum was only 3 - hence I was named Sally. When my Mum's best friend Irene died just before I was born, they chose that as my given 2nd name.
B. Do you share...
Advantages: Location On The Beach, Fantastic Staff Disadvantages: Later Season = Hooligans, Cleanliness of floors in apartments
...We went to Sal Rossa as our first ever family holiday abroad. On arrival (late at night) we were shown to our room, I was thrilled to bits to be allocated a room on the ground floor. The smile soon disappeared as I opened the patio curtains and found my view to be a bush eek. The room was very very basic, our children had the bedroom, I had the sofa and my better half had the bed on wheels, a tip for anyone going to this resort, the bed on wheels does rise up to the sofa bed level, we discovered this a few nights before we left haha.
Even though the maids couldnt speak any english, they were very friendly, changed our sheets and made sure we always had clean towels, floors were dirty though. The pool area was always spotless, until the tail end of our stay when large groups arrived and left their glasses and rubbish round the pool...
Advantages: Appealing main character, one of a series I enjoy Disadvantages: Neither the character or the author are at their best in this book
..."Then maybe none of it would have happened like it did. None of the whole, stupid, bloody mess of it".
So says Sal at the beginning of this novel. She takes on a couple of cases which sound like the bread and butter of PI work.
Lucy Barker asks Sal to come and help her find out who is threatening her. She's a hotel receptionist. She can't think why anyone would have a grudge against her. Sal agrees to talk to some of Lucy's colleagues and see if the neighbours know anything. Maybe she can find out and confront the perpetrator who'll back off. Even Sal doesn't really believe it but this PI is a single mother who needs to keep earning money to keep her life ticking over.
Of course this case needs to be complicated to as fictional PI cases do to fill a whole novel. Sal soon finds out that her client doesn't have many friends...
Advantages: The feeling that you're holding the author's hand the entire time. Disadvantages: Spontaneous prose will not necessarily suit everyone's tastes
...On The Road is an exciting and enchanting perpsective on post-war America's cultural enlightenment, denoting a people's social revolution on the backdrop of an American 'halcyon' idealism.
It highlights the desperate yet opportunistic nature of the 'beat' generation as they expand their horizons across the huge stretch of an entire continent.
Outlining the experiences and revelations of a fragmented group of college peers and other random associates, it delves into the fiery-hearted life of drug experimentation and liberal thinking, in a decade where the clasp of the state was becoming ever more relinquished. As a psuedo-biographical work the author loosely basis the narrator, Sal Paradise, on his own turbulent past, and specifically that of the character he befriends and idolises, Dean Moriarty. The scope of the events that...
