A photographic lens (or more correctly, objective) is an optical lens used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically. While in principle a simple convex lens will suffice, in practice a compound lens made up of a number of optical lens elements is required to correct the many optical aberrations that arise. There is no difference in principle between a lens used for a camera, a telescope, a microscope, or other apparatus, ...

Cinematography literally means "writing in the movement", and is the discipline of making lighting and camera choices when recording photographic images for the cinema. It is closely related to the art of still photography, though many additional issues arise when both the camera and elements of the scene are in motion. In the film industry, the cinematographer is responsible for the technical caliber of the images, but also works closely with the director to ensure that the aesthetics are supporting the story bei ...

The letter F is the sixth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is ef, spelled eff when used as a verb. On keyboards, often the F and J keys (or occasionally the D and K keys) have a raised dot or bar on their surface, perceptible to the touch, to assist in typing, especially for the blind. All other keys can be found with their relative positions around these two keys as the index finger normally rests on F and J keys (or the middle finger in the case of D and K). F - Hi ...

Poltergeist:

German word meaning 'noisy or troublesome spirit'. Poltergeist activity may include unexplained noises, movements of objects, and outbreaks of fire, floods, pricks or scratches to a person's body. Unlike haunting, which are associated with specific locations, poltergeists typically focus on a person (the focal person or poltergeist agent) who is often a young child or adolescent. Many physical mediums experienced poltergeist activity in their childhood.

Zoroaster, the prophet of Zoroastrianism, was born in the Balkh area, (northern Afghanistan and Transoxania) and was possibly Bactrian (the partial ancestors of the Tajiks). Zoroastrianism had been adopted by Persian emperors as a state religion and was practiced during the Samanid era in central Asia until being overrun by the Arabs. The Shahs of Somoni made Bukhara their residence and a focal point for art and science as well as an administrative center. In this period, the personal interest and support of the Shahs in the arts and science ...

Herein lies the individualistic tendency which distinguishes him from his predecessors. He conceives it as his prophetic mission to strive to reach his brethren and compatriots individually, to follow them, and to win them back to God; and he considers himself personally responsible for every individual soul. Those redeemed were to form the congregation of the new Temple, and to exemplify by their lives the truth of the word that Israel was destined to become a "kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6). Law and worship--these are the two focal poin ...

The damage from TBI can be focal, confined to one area of the brain, or diffuse, involving more than one area of the brain. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with concussion (a shaking of the brain in response to sudden motion of the head), diffuse axonal injury, or coma. Localized injuries may be associated with neurobehavioral manifestations, hemiparesis or other focal neurologic deficits. Types of focal brain injury include bruising of brain tissue called a contusion and intracranial hemorrhage or hematoma, heavy ...

Eyeglasses

If the person in the dream normally wears eyeglasses then this symbol is an extension of daily life. However, if the person does not wear glasses, or the glasses are the focal point in the dream, several interpretations could be made. You may need to do a "reality check" or ask yourself if you are seeing the world through "rose colored glasses." Either way, your unconscious mind may be encouraging you to make an attempt to see things more clearly.

A photographic lens is composed of several lenses, to reduce the effects of Chromatic aberration, Coma, Spherical aberration, and to allow focusing, and possibly zooming capabilities. A simple example is the Cooke triplet, which was used in early cameras, but has since been replaced by more complex systems. Another, the Angenieux retrofocus allows the distance between the last lens and the film to be larger than it would be otherwise. This design is necessary for wide angle lenses on manual cameras, since otherwise the last lens would need t ...
