Antler lamps also compliment many other rustic elements for rustic d?cor.  In the Northwest or ?north woods? style antlers may be added to snow shoes and complimented with rawhide lamp shades to fashion fabulous wall sconces.  The light wood and rawhide lacing of the shoe along with the leather binding and hand stitched shade with its warm glow make a perfect harmony.  Weather you prefer to compliment your antler lamp with southwestern light rawhide shades or western style dark rawhide lampshades, the choice is yours and the result will be stunning.

Small antler chandeliers may be made from white tail deer antlers while large chandeliers may have several tiers of huge elk antlers.  Weather your space is large or small an antler chandelier will bring the old west home.  In Jackson Hole, WY the town square is adorned with antler arches made from Elk antlers that are shed each spring.  It is truly unique and you can capture the same LED Garden Lights Manufacturers spirit in your special area.

The Lesson

"The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Bible, Matthew XXVI: 41

"Not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the  spirit giveth life." Bible, II Corinthians III:6

"Spirits are not finely touch'd But to fine issues." Shakespeare, Measure for Measure I:1

My neighbor (who passed away last year) had this dog from the dog pound. Her name is Lucky. She's lucky to be alive. Lucky was about to be killed because nobody wanted her. She was abused by her owner and she is as crazy as a loot. Still, my neighbor adopted her.

Lucky is naturally happy, despite her history. But she has gone off her rocker and doesn't know when not to be so happy. When I visited the home, Lucky came charging up at me, her tail wagging, and about knocks me to the led stadium light manufacturers ground. You had better protect yourself or she would jam those big paws of her's where it hurts.

We would go into the house and her owner, a grand old lady in her eighties would say, "Lay down, Lucky!" Lucky may or may not lay down on command. If she does, she jams her foot into her mouth up to the elbow. That is, if dogs have an elbow. More likely, Lucky just runs in a circle chasing her tail. Lucky just can't control herself. Her spirit was broken by her first owner and now she is nuts.

Some adults are no better off than Lucky. They are in mental hospitals, or prisons, or in the land of the homeless. Some were abused as children. They have lost their spirit. They live in Never Never Land. And we all know spiritless adults who have been abused by their employers for years. They have become afraid of their own shadows and they have a great fear of losing their jobs. They became as predictable as robots, doing their bosses bidding, but never initiating anything new because they are afraid the boss will disapprove.

There's a place for such bosses! Jesus Christ said of those who offend these little ones that it would be better for them to tie a millstone around their necks and jump into the depths of the sea. His actual word were, "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea." Luke XVII, 2.

Remember the poor beggar? His name was Lazarus and he went to a rich man and begged for bread. (This Lazarus was not the friend of Jesus Christ who He revived from death.) Lazarus didn't get one crumb from the rich man. The poor beggar, Lazarus, died and went to heaven. The rich man died and went to hell. He begged Father Abraham to send the beggar down to give him a little water. Abraham told the rich man that Lazarus could never cross the great gap that separated them. See Luke XVI:22.

If you love your fellow men, you will never fall into abuse.  Sadly, some folks don't consider their children as fellow men.  The Golden Rule says that we should treat others as we would like to be treated. That includes our children. Never abuse your children physically or mentally. If you do, you might break their spirit, say nothing of the complete unhappiness you will bring upon them.

The spirit has needs.

It can be nourished by the fine foods of art, music, ethics, morality, and humor. It helps for children of all ages to know that they are God's offspring and that He loves them just as earthly parents love their children. A person needs to know how he fits into the realm of things.

What is life all about anyway?

Life is a time to develop those talents that God gave you, to find joy and happiness in serving others, and to find God.

Nurture your children.

For The Little Children

Rachel was very sad. Daddy had given her a spanking that she didn't deserve.

She was playing with Kitty when Kitty bumped the lamp that Daddy had given Mommy for her birthday. The lamp fell to the floor and shattered. It was an accident.

Mother was at the store buying groceries. She felt something was wrong, like mothers do at times. She hurried to the checkout stand and then drove home. When she got home, Rachel ran out to the car crying. ?Daddy spanked me!? Mother gave Rachel a hug and said, ?I knew something was wrong. Now stop crying and tell me what happened.?

Kitty knocked the lamp over. It wasn't my fault.?

Oh, I see,? said Mother. ?I'll bet it was the lamp Father gave me for my birthday.?

Kitty looked up when she heard the screen door slam. Father was coming out of the house. Rachel hid behind Mother. ?Little accident,? asked Mother, looking at Father.

Father said, ?It's okay, Rachel. Daddy isn't mad at you. I'm sorry I spanked you when Kitty knocked the lamp over.  I know you were just playing with Kitty.?

Then why did you spank me, Daddy? We were just playing.?

Mother said, ?The lamp was special, Rachel. Daddy felt bad when Kitty broke it. But we can get another lamp, can't we??

Yes,? Father said. ?But we can't get another little girl just like you Rachel.?

He gave Rachel a big hug. Rachel was happy again.

Yellow daisy, oh yellow daisy - please tell me about fills and flags! How does one use them effectively?

Good question sighs my daisy. An answer or two...

One can shoot anything straight without flash in good daylight and get okay results. I've read a load of articles in the last few months saying that bright sunshine is bad, bad, really bad, for color saturation when shooting flowers or anything for that matter - true often, but not always so.

One needs to consider all sorts of things - purpose, time of day, result required, etc! Dawn and dusk produce warm, shadowy light and if one wants to take a landscape photograph of note, this would be the ideal time to do it...using a tripod of course! Shutter speeds slow down in order to get the depth of field required, f16 or even f22, so one is often shooting at ? or ? a second. I've met a few people who can handhold shutter speeds that slow but most of us...never in a million years! In the landscape led tunnel light manufacturers world tripods rule okay!

I know, I know, ironic considering that I spent a bit of Mild Obsession #2 justifying my desire to shoot unfettered by a three legged monster. I did say in my defence, though, be consistent. Part of that consistency is recognition of the tools needed in each particular situation. Life is a balancing act, no more so than in the world of photography.

Another natural lighting situation to consider is sunlight mid-morning to mid-afternoon (harsh front light, but often awesome backlight), tricky at the best of times but even this light can be used well and effectively if one knows how to control it.

A really good way to learn lighting in controlled circumstances is to use angle poise lamps and a small subject on a plain background. For my subject I chose a yellow daisy...not the same one plucked from a faraway field, no, a yellow painted tin daisy, beautiful nonetheless, which I stood up on a piece of white A3 card!

What about color balance you cry? At the risk of being boringly repetitive...digital technology...white balance (WB)... All hail the little tiny green men inside one's camera, running around changing the color gels so that we can shoot color corrected images no matter what the light source. Incredible stuff!

Try this...

Grab a plain backdrop, a cotton sheet, piece of white card or anything that detracts as little from the subject as possible. Take your subject, place it on your backdrop not too close to the background, set up an angle poise lamp to the left side of the subject and point the light directly at the subject (preferably slightly above). You should be producing huge, harsh shadows. Interrogation time!

Now grab a piece of white card and line it up side on to your subject on the other side from the lamp and move it around until the shadows on the subject are softened to some degree .i.e. fill...The more one can soften the light on subject the better, so next step is to soften the source.

Turn the angle poise around pointing away from the subject angled 45 degrees up, then place a piece of white card in front of it reflecting the light back toward the subject - hey presto softer light -much softer. Soften things even more by playing with more fills on the other side of the subject too. A good soft result, not so dramatic perhaps, but eminently flattering.

I hasten to add at this point that I have done fashion shoots in the past using just harsh direct light, emulating movie-lighting of the 30's, and achieved gorgeous results. It all comes down to control i.e. positive decision making rather than negative.

Play with this studio lighting setup in miniature until you get a feel for it. There are so many possibilities...

Try this too...

Shine two lamps at the center of your background, one each side, angled at 45 degrees to the plane of the background. Make sure that your subject is flagged to stop any light falling directly onto it. How? Place black card (flags) on each side of the subject (slightly back of the subject) showing the background clearly but not allowing light from the lamps to spill onto the sides of the subject. Now place two pieces of white card in front of the subject facing the background. Leave a small gap to shoot through.

Result?

A subject only lit by backlight and reflected light from the card in front. It's a really good way to produce a backlit daylight feel. I use it all the time with studio shots of people. It can be fantastically flattering, if done well.

Play! Play lots. Light control is very satisfying when you get the hang of it.

Remember always - good lighting is good lighting period. Sounds obvious, I know, but real easy to forget.

See the beauty!
