Where to find high quality boat patterns?
Boats Building Patterns Download
For the past 6 years, I’ve spent thousands of hours buying, reading and restructuring boat plans. Restructuring, because most plans on the market left me with questions – not answers! Their diagrams are confusing, unclear, or even wrong and they often skip important parts. No wonder boat building seemed so hard!
When I built my first boat, almost 20 years ago, I thought I had it all figured out. 4 exhausting months later, I still wasn’t done – I thought I had every detail measured out, only to find that I’ve got it all WRONG. So I decided to find a better way.

Wide Angle Lenses – Five Tips for Photos With More Impact

Wide Angle Lenses – Five Tips for Photos With More Impact
Photographers shopping for a new digital camera are bombarded with information about the power of modern zoom lenses. “This camera has eight-times optical zoom and up to twelve times digital zoom but this camera has twelve times optical and…” You know the drill.
A powerful telephoto lens is terrific, and essential if you are shooting lots of sports photography, wildlife photography, or any photography that requires you to capture your subject from a distance. But with all the marketing that goes on around telephoto power, you could be forgiven for believing there is little value in a good wide-angle lens.
This is simply not the case. In fact, if you take a lot of travel photos, you may find that your powerful telephoto rarely gets a workout. As a landscape photographer, I use my wide-angle lens a lot more. I can tell you right now that even though the wide-angle lens makes everything smaller, it can create images with massive impact if you use it well.
So here are my five tips for creative photography with a wide-angle lens.
Wide-Angle Photography Tip #1. It Really Is A Wide Angle. When using a larger lens, you narrow your field of view considerably, so if you focus on a subject in the foreground you really don’t capture much of the background. On the other hand, with a wide-angle lens you capture a much wider field of view. Your foreground subject may still be the focus of the image, but you can make use of the background to add interest to the picture as well.
As a result, your picture can tell more of a story. Instead of a photo that says “Here is a shot of my kids” your photo can say “Here is a shot of my kids at the beach, you can see what a beautiful day it was and I managed to capture a sailboat going by as well.”
Wide-Angle Photography Tip #2. Depth Of Field. The wide-angle lens has a much stronger depth of field than a larger lens. Not only can you make a feature of both foreground and background, you can keep everything in focus while you are at it. To achieve the same result with a larger lens, you may have to close the aperture, which means slowing the shutter speed, which means using a tripod…a lot of exta effort. After all that, the depth of field may still not be as strong as if you had used your wide-angle lens.
Wide-Angle Photography Tip #3. Perspective. Perspective is exaggerated by a wide-angle lens, so it makes long objects seem even longer. If you are shooting a fence-line, a jetty, railroad tracks, a road…anything that stretches away into the distance, the wide angle lens can really give your photo a boost. The result will be a truly three-dimensional sense of depth. The strong lines of the composition will lead the viewer into the picture, so they feel they are not just looking at the photo, but right into it.
Wide-Angle Photography Tip #4. Powerful foregrounds. The exaggerated perspective of the wide-angle lens makes objects at different distances seem much further apart than they really are. Foreground objects may seem a bit smaller, but objects in the background can seem many miles more distant. As a result, the wide-angle lens is excellent for adding impact to a foreground subject. You can stand very close to a person (or a tree, whatever) and they will appear to tower over the scene in the distance. This is the opposite of a telephoto lens, which tends to bring the background into prominence.
Wide-Angle Photography Tip #5. Putting It All Together. All the above tips are helpful by themselves, but by putting them all together you have the power to create photos that really grab the eye of the viewer. There is not enough space in a short article to outline all the ways you can use these tips, so I will give you one example that puts all the strengths of a wide-angle lens to good use.
Imagine an old rustic farmhouse, with a striking cloud formation behind it. Your telephoto lens might fit in just the farmhouse, and a standard lens might fit in the house and the sky.
With a wide angle lens, you could walk down the driveway and look for some special detail (maybe a rusty old mailbox) to create a more interesting composition. If you stand near the mailbox, it will have prominence in the composition, but you will still have a clear shot of the farmhouse and the sky in the background. Even better, the strong depth of field makes it easy to keep everything in focus. The exaggerated perspective will make the driveway seem longer, adding a three-dimensional impact to the picture. If you do it well, the first thing that catches the eye will be the mailbox, but the driveway will lead the viewer into the distance, to appreciate all the detail of the background as well.
So there you have a quick introduction to the creative use of a wide-angle lens. I hope this little article does more than just just spark your imagination. Reading about it is not nearly as exciting as doing it…so grab your camera and start snapping!

Outside’s Creative Team Building Events
Who are Outside?
Outside is a team building company with a difference, with a creative twist, with a sense of adventure, with a lot of fun and passion and with a real purpose.
Outside offer a wide variety of team building events and activity days, all of which make the most of our exciting outdoor location.Outside understand the importance of developing essential workplace skills and enhancing team development so the events are designed to drive positive change and bring the best out in your staff or team.
Outside events are not rigid and fixed but are highly flexible so that the day is always tailored and personalised to suit your requirements.
Team Building Events
Our creative team building events are listed below to stimulate your thinking but they are by no means set in stone. We have rarely run the same event twice so tell us which events you like and we will customise a day’s activities just for you.All of our team building events are based outdoors in the fantastic setting of Eastnor Castle estate.
Our events are goal orientated, engaging and are designed to enhance workplace skills building on the performance of an individual and the team.It is very important to us that your day is rewarding, purposeful, inclusive, collaborative and fun with everyone feeling that they have achieved a personal goal and gained knowledge.
From cookery to photography, from pioneering to communication, from mentally stimulating giant puzzles to adrenalin packed high and low ropes challenges.
Wilderness Cooking
Take a breath of fresh air and come to a different type of culinary team build day. The ‘kitchen’ is situated in the woods around the Castle where you will learn about outdoor and survival cooking such as roasting food over a fire, fire pits, stews and smoking fish.The locally sourced produce will provide the basis for your team to work in groups to produce a meal in an environment, which they have probably never experienced before. It is a group challenge and regardless of how skilled you are in the kitchen at home, nature’s kitchen is a different ball game and a new challenge.
The team will work towards a three course meal, which they will all get to enjoy at the end of the day. The activity is designed to focus on communication skills, leadership, creativity and initiative whist being fun and tasty!
Picture Perfect
This event uses photography to highlight to teams the importance of working together and how each individual role contributes to the team or organisation as a whole.
The participants are given cameras and given the task of creating a large photographic mosaic of the whole team. This requires careful planning and communication as well as group management. The teams will also have to tackle some collaborative tasks in order to complete the challenge successfully. It allows for many skills to come to the fore and does not require all participants to be overly active. The group will leave with a memory of the day, which will act as a reminder of how they can achieve an objective by working closely together.
Creative Expression
Set your creativity free with this activity that is designed to promote free expression whilst developing or enhancing individual and group creativity.
This is not an art course but a team building event situated in the Castle grounds, which uses natural materials found on the estate to create pieces of art. To be successful the participants need to work together in small groups, by planning, using their initiative and managing the flow of ideas. The final challenge is to create a giant picture as one large group with just the natural materials around them and of course their imagination.
The Venue
Outside are exclusively based at Eastnor Castle, which is situated in the Malvern Hills, an area of natural beauty. The Castle offers a venue packed with prestige, high quality facilities for meetings, accommodation and dining, all of which create a special and memorable experience.
The Estate provides 5,000 acres of varied terrain and Outside work with the natural topography of the land to involve underground and tree-top activities with everything in between.Using the surrounding environment and natural elements we are able to create team building days that are invigorating, inspiring and best of all a real break from the city and the office environment.
Whilst the venue is situated in the heart of the countryside it is only ten minutes from the national motorway network. The Castle is 2½ miles east of Ledbury on the A438 Tewkesbury road.

Children’s Bedding
A childs bedroom should be a room that reflects their personality and lets their imagination run wild. Create a space your child will love with quality bedding from Sweet Peaches Bedding. Whether you are designing a new room or looking for easy updates, Sweet Peaches Bedding has childrenâs bedding and decor so you can create a room where your child can grow and play. Whether it’s toddler, twin, full, or queen size; trucks, rockets, mermaids, or flowers, our childrens bedding is superior quality, fun designs, and affordable.
* Make your child’s room inviting, decorated to his/her taste, and age-appropriate. Consider allowing your child to help decorate by at the very least picking out the bedding. For the more ambitious adventurers, give your child choices of a bedroom theme, positioning of bed and furniture (with your help, of course), and overall look and feel. The general idea is you want your child to absolutely LOVE his/her room and want to spend time in it!
* Consider the size of the bed. Some parents move their child to a twin or even larger bed as soon as a child graduates from the crib. For some children, that is fine, but others may feel intimidated or even threatened by its size. Depending on a child’s nature, toddler beds can provide a nice transition between crib and twin. These beds often are available in theme designs, such as a race car or castle. Make sure your child can easily get in and out of bed and feels comfortable in it.
