A burning-glass is a large convex lens, which can focus the sun's rays on a small area and so ignite materials. Used in 18th century chemical studies for burning materials in closed glass vessels where the products of combustion could be trapped for analysis, the burning-glass was a useful contrivance in the days before electrical ignition was easily achieved. The technology of the burning glass has been known since antiquity. Aristophanes mentions the burning-lens in his play The Clouds (424 BC), and Archimedes, the ren ...

An image is said to be burned when its original gamut considerably exceeds the target gamut, or when the result of processing considerably exceeds the image's gamut. In other words, an image is burned when it contains uniform blobs of color, black, or white where there should actually be detail. All known mediums for storing or capturing images at this time, analog or digital, are unable to store an unlimited number of color hues, and they are bound to a certain gamut. Squeezing an image with a given gamut into a medium with a ...

In his documentaries, Burns often gives life to still photographs by slowly zooming-in on subjects of interest and panning from one subject to another. For example, in a photograph of a baseball team, he might slowly pan across the faces of the players and come to a rest on the player the narrator is discussing. The effect can be used as a transition between clips as well. For example, to segue from one person in the story to another, he might open a clip with a close-up of one person in a photo, then zoom out so tha ...

Much of the lands of the Tillamook burn had come to be owned by the counties of Tillamook, Yamhill, and Washington through foreclosures on unpaid property taxes; at the time of the forest fires, most of the land was owned by timber companies who also paid the cost of fighting the fires. A measure was submitted by the Legislative Assembly to the voters to float a bond to finance reforestation, which narrowly passed in 1948. In a book published that same year, Stewart Holbrook wrote about the Tillamook burn in < ...

At the time, Washington was a minor port with only about 8,000 inhabitants — about 1,300 of whom were slaves. What it lacked in strategic value, however, it made up in symbolic value. The British had long sought revenge on the United States for the destruction they had caused on the capital of Upper Canada at York (now Toronto) after the Battle of York in 1813. The naval commander, George Cockburn, wrote that he hoped the destruction of the new re ...

The thick sandstone walls of the President's House survived, although scarred with smoke and scorch marks.
