Nazca Lines – What are they?

The Nazca Lines is an ancient geoglyphs located in southern Peru in Nazca desert. The area stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa. Scholars believe that the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca people itself from their culture during the late 650 AD. The figures are occasionally simple geometric straight lines and some animal like figures such as hummingbirds, spiders,monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizardsthat can be seen from above or aerial view. Still from this year they are consider mystery as some other people doesn't believe it was created by the Nazca people. It is still in a hot seat and people are still debating whether they are created by the Nazca people or it involves extraterrestrial beings. Many believe and question the Nazca people if they are really the creator of this unbelievable geometric figures because some says that there are no signs of flight during their Era. To create a beautiful line like that of Nazca Lines with huge and stretching size, you may need an aerial help to check and see how the workings of line will do. But some archeologists can't find any sign of flight yet though there are certain evidences that justifies the Nazca Lines was made by the Nazca people which is the tools they used to engraved such design. Nazca people are indeed smart one that some scholars believe that their are some existence of advance technology in their Era. Some says that it was the extraterrestrial beings who have just mistaken as to be their gods that made the lines. Study shows and some other theories refer Nazca lines are made for rituals, spiritual, ceremonial relics, etc. They believe Nazca Lines are used for some ceremonial activity to thank their Gods and to produce some development like increase in crop production, etc. Still Nazca Lines are indeed on the top header when it comes to mystery files.

Photography

Modern cameras have several features that help photographers control their results under widely varying conditions. Learn more about using aperture size and shutter speed to produce better images.

Anatomy of a camera

When you take a photograph, the film in your camera is exposed to light. The quality of your photograph depends on how much light reaches the film and how long the film is exposed to light. Two camera controls aperture size and shutter speed affect the exposure.

Lens aperture

The size of a camera’s aperture regulates how much light reaches the film. As you increase the aperture size, you increase the amount of light that can reach the film. Aperture size also determines a photograph’s depth of field that is how many object at varying distances remaining in focus. Smaller aperture size produces greater depth of field, more objects remain in focus.

Shutter speed

The camera’s shutter speed also controls exposure. A slow shutter speed allows more light to reach the film resulting to uneven effect of light to the photograph which is usually more exposed to light. An average shutter speed controls the light to reach the film resulting to a clear distribution of light to the photograph. Shutter speed also controls the appearance of moving objects in the photograph. Fast moving objects appear blurred in the photograph is taken with a slow shutter speed.

Exposure is determined by the combination of the aperture size and the shutter speed. The two controls act together to produce the final image.
