or most commonly known as the wacked dude -Salvador Dali

Depicted in this painting above, it shows St. Anthony not only being penitent but humble before God in his sheer nakedness before the temptations that face him.
This for me is a better depiction of the deadly sins, firstly because it shows the man before the the committed sin and secondly, it shows his struggle against powers that we constantly fight.
I'm not sure of the exact depictions of the temptations but this is what they are to me:

• Horse in front represents Power 
• First elephant carries a woman emerging out of the chalice, which represents Lust
• Second elephant represents Envy
• Third and forth elephants carry temples which serve as shrines for Gluttony and Sloth
• The last elephant carries the tower of Babel, which biblically was the attempt by all people to be as great as God by building a tower to show how great they are (Genesis 11)

Bounce

Unfortunately not the dance scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa1B5_w0xoM&playnext=1&list=PLF7A1B354491DFC10 but the technique of Bouncing on-camera flash.

The soft lighting effect provided through the technique has revolutionized photography for me. It enables me to shoot with my flash set on half-power Manual mode and just play around with Manual camera settings to get the light i need. This shot was at a sweeeet bar in Nottingham Road, namely, The Beerfassel. Was inside a white marquee so was a perfect situation to bounce the flash. As shown in the pic, it gives a beautifully even and soft light.

 One of the most useful aspects of Bounce flash, is the fact of using a macro or wide-angle lens without loosing crucial light on the subject.
With the following two pics, i turned the flash to the side and bounced off my hand and the surface they were on. When the macro lens is so close to the subject, the direct TTL flash head cant cover the subject with light, or is to harsh (too close). Which leads to the fact of turning the flash head away from the subject, then bouncing the light back onto it.

This pic on the left is a wide angle (16mm) shot that will only be represented truthfully by either 2 studio flash-heads with shoot-through umbrella's (R8000) or a single ceiling flash bounce. The bounce technique is quick, effective and maneuverable.

Here ends this mornings reading.
