428 Words Essay on Photography

Artists
Photography is the process of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive medium like film or an electronic sensor. The products of photography are called negatives and photographs, the latter being developed from the negatives. Light patterns reflected or emitted by objects activate a sensitive chemical or electronic sensor during a timed exposure usually through a photographic lens in a camera. The camera stores the resulting information chemically or electronically. Photographers control the camera and lens to expose the light recording material to the required amount of light to form a latent image (on film) or raw file (in digital camera) which, after due processing, is converted to a usable image. In digital cameras, instead of film, an electronic image sensor based on light-sensitive devices is…

386 Words Essay on Nature's Beauty

Artists
Nature is an integral part of our lives. But even while we appreciate the blessings she bestows on us, we forget that we are plundering her treasures and thereby denying our children the pleasure of enjoying nature in all her abundance and variety in the future. The beauty of nature has been extolled in the works of poets and artists. When Wordsworth describes the daffodils dancing in the breeze or when our eyes alight on a painting by William Turner, our hearts are filled with an indescribable emotion. If a mere representation can move us so much, imagine the power of the real thing. If you have seen Massachusetts during fall season when the leaves turn yellow, ochre, and red, you can never forget it in your lifetime. Nature has…

Essay on Distinction between Culture and Civilisation

Dance
Essay on Distinction between Culture and Civilisation – The terms ‘Culture’ and ‘ Civilisation’ are often distinguished on various grounds. Both repre­sent two broad fields of human activity and experience. Some significant points of difference be­tween them may be noted here.1. Civilisation has a precise standard of measurement but not Culture: ADVERTISEMENTS: The products of civilisation are such that they can be measured quantitatively on grounds of efficiency. We can easily say that a motor car is superior to a hand plough or the currency and the banking system are superior to the primitive barter system.But we cannot measure the cultural products. We can only assess the cultural products by our personal judgment; but we cannot measure or quantify them. If somebody were to say that the literary works of…

389 Words Short Essay on Swimming

Art
It is curious that, while swimming comes natural to most animals, men have to learn to swim. Such animals as dogs, horses, deer, cattle, can swim when they first go into the water; but a man will sink unless he has learnt the art.And, when we consider how necessary it may be to most people at some time in their lives to know how to swim, it is still more curious that comparatively few people take the trouble to learn the art. It is even said that many sailors and fishermen, who are in daily risk of drowning, are not swimmers.Most landsmen who are not swimmers, have rather a dread of water, which perhaps deters them from learning to swim. Indeed there is a story of a man who said…
