![]() ![]() There’s an emotional scene where Lori talks about being with Shane, something Dale already figured out, too. His wife was pregnant once, though they lost the child later. Most interesting, Dale knows that Lori is pregnant. ![]() They form a slight bond over the entire situation. At the same time, Shane and Andrea have some conflict after he pushes her hard when doing gun training. Trying to get Rick to take care of things, Lori chastises him for knowing about Hershel sending them back out into the world and not telling her, or anybody. Lori is scared about having to leave the farm. Particularly, you can imagine what Shane would do immediately if he were to find out what’s in the barn. Most of all, Hershel doesn’t want the others to know because he isn’t sure about the others, aside from Rick. The stakes here are higher: Hershel’s wife and stepson are in there. Dale tries to make it even clearer they have been “ cut off from the outside world“. Hershel is clearly stuck to his notion that zombies are still people, that there is a cure. He says he “ heard the moans” out of the barn and takes it to Hershel as if he were the one to discover the walkers inside it. Everybody else is getting lessons with a gun while Glenn is busy trying to hold in the secrets of others. Secrets should be the last of anybody’s worries. Regardless, he shouldn’t have to in a world rife with danger. Glenn goes to Dale about both Lori being pregnant and the walkers in the barn. Only another way for Shane to worm into Lori’s life. Unknowingly, Rick thinks it’s a great idea. ![]() Growing up in a world with zombies, isn’t it only natural for a child of appropriate age to have a gun? At the same time, Shane is still being the would-be-father to Carl, offering to give him training and lessons with a gun. Rick thinks it’s better than him being scared of guns, bullets, after getting shot. Speaking of guns, Shane finds Carl carrying one in his pants. They tell Rick that Hershel (Scott Wilson) gave them permission, though, I’m sure he’d rather wait to hear it from the man himself. Then there’s Patricia and Beth (Emily Kinney) who want gun training. They only laugh off Glenn and his awkward behaviour. Rick (Andre Lincoln) and Shane (Jon Bernthal) are busy coming up with plans. The titular secrets of this episode concern all the little quiet things Glenn is tasked with holding onto. She tells him to back off and he reluctantly agrees. Out by the fire, a less friendly conversation happens when Glenn confronts Lori once more. He quips that if she shoots him again she “ best pray” he dies. It’s a respectable moment, as Daryl admits to knowing she was “ protecting the group“. Resting in his tent, Daryl (Norman Reedus) gets an apology from Andrea (Laurie Holden). Around Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) and T-Dog (Irone Singleton) he’s troubled and a bit obvious, but nothing comes of it. She begs him to keep it a secret, even with Glenn begging her not to make him keep it a secret. Now Glenn is also being told to keep quiet about it all by Maggie (Lauren Cohan). An ominous beginning to this one seeing Patricia with Carl and Lori right before. This is the same barn Glenn (Steven Yeun) discovered at the end of the previous episode, “Chupacabra”. Simultaneously, Patricia (Jane McNeill) break the legs of a chicken, throw it in a bag, then head down to the barn to feed it to a pack of walkers inside. At the start of “Secrets”, we watch Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Carl (Chandler Riggs) together. ![]() ![]()

You can check them out in the gallery on his website or you may just see them running around town. They are just beautiful bikes and very ridable. While spending time with Eric and talking bikes is great fun and very educational, the real pleasure comes when you look at (and maybe get to ride) the results of his work. These projects often involve some type of restoration or refurbishing of an old favourite bike and the melding of new technology into retro styling.” This passion shows in the bikes you see in his shop: classic bikes in bold new colours and with great modern components. “My typical customer is a cyclist who has a specific project or idea in mind for a bicycle who can’t necessarily get what they want “off the shelf” at a regular bike shop. That experience is mixed with an equal measure of passion. All told he has worked as a bicycle mechanic for 30 years. Before opening Frog Cycles he ran the bike shop at Wild Rock Outfitters for 10 years. This was followed by work in shops in Kitchener, Cambridge and Guelph as well as out in Kelowna, BC. That bike never did get put back together again and to this day my father still loves to tell that story.” Eric decided he needed to get some real training and at the age of 15 started his career learning about and then fixing coaster brakes and 3-speed bicycles at Braun’s Bicycle in Kitchener. When asked about his training as a bike mechanic, Eric smiles, “When I was 8 years old my bicycle broke and I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t work, so I took my father’s bike apart to see how things were supposed to work. Drawing on many years of experience as a master bicycle mechanic, Eric works with them to get their bike back on the road or to help them bring their ideas to reality. Each of his jobs starts with a client with an individual problem or need. His services range from simple repairs to major overhauls to full restorations and custom builds. Working out of a small shop in Northend Peterborough, Eric brings the best of new technology together with carefully reconditioned quality used parts and classic frames to create elegant and timeless bikes for the modern day. Owned and operated by Eric Freeman-Roth, Frog Cycles is salvaging one classic bike after another and restoring them to pristine condition, each one every bit as good as the day they rolled out of the factory and then some.

We cannot conclude that there is a relationship between knowledge of bicycle mechanics/repair skills and usage. As well, there is little known about the link between knowledge of bicycle mechanics/repair skills and bike usage. In the literature, a gap in cycling habits has been noted between women and men cyclists, with men riding significantly more than women.

In the latter situations, I’d recommend switching your lens over to manual focus. Occasionally, however, you’ll run into a situation where your scene features very little contrast or the only clear contrast exists far behind your main subject. As long as you can find some part of your shot that’s contrasty – a few rocks, a lone tree, or a river – you’ll manage to capture a photo that’s both in-focus and well-composed. Simply set your camera to its AF-S (or One-Shot AF) setting, set the AF point to the center of the frame, half-press your shutter button to lock focus on an area of clear contrast in the scene, then recompose the shot. First, you can try using the focus-and-recompose technique. When that happens, you have two options, both of which are generally effective. Don’t be afraid to use manual focusĪs I mentioned in the previous tip, winter landscapes can be intensely white – and when you’re dealing with monochromatic scenes, your camera will often struggle to lock focus. ![]() Just find a dominant color or tone in the otherwise white landscape, then use careful composition techniques to make it a standout focal point. Maybe there’s an autumn leaf laying on top of a thin layer of snow, or maybe you can see a few skiers wearing red jackets, or maybe you’re standing before a dark mountain surrounded by white. Make sense?īy the way, I find red color contrast to be particularly pleasing in winter landscape scenes, but you can really search for any dominant color or tonal variation. So you can just go around with your camera, searching for an eye-catching element or two. Happily, contrast is easy to find on snowy days because it’ll catch your eye just the same as it’ll catch a photo viewer’s eye. Without it, the scene would lack a focal point and the viewer’s eyes would have no place to rest, which would make for a bad shot. The red color is what makes this picture interesting. Here’s an example of color contrast, where I found a red house against a white and gray background: You look for contrast – either color contrast, where you find a splash of red, blue, or green against the white – or tonal contrast, such as a splash of darkness against the bright snow. And when everything is white, it’s quite challenging to find a compositional focal point as nothing really catches the eye. Look for contrast to make those winter compositions stand outĪfter a few days of heavy snowfall, the landscape will be completely white: white trees, white lakes, white mountains, and (normally) a white sky. That way, you can capture the photos you want, but you don’t risk yourself or your gear in the process. Instead, you should wait until the snow stops or head out in advance. If you plan to photograph a snowy mountain scene from a high altitude, you’ll want to avoid driving in during a blizzard. You should also watch the weather for safety reasons. It can help to observe the snowflakes before setting off to make sure they’re reasonably large and are falling sufficiently fast otherwise, you may struggle to capture the kind of moody winter landscape you’re pursuing. If you want to photograph mountains or trees in a snowstorm, make sure you head out in the thick of the snow (or just before the snow starts).If you want to photograph a pristine snowfall at sunrise, make sure you choose a morning just after the snow has ended so that the blanket of white is completely undisturbed.Instead, you need to think about the type of images you want to create, then make plans that coincide with your weather requirements. There’s not one best type of weather for winter landscape photography, of course. Weather can be the difference between an exhilarating photoshoot and a wasted handful of hours – so it’s always important to check the weather in advance, follow the weather on your phone, and constantly observe the conditions while you’re out shooting. So if you’re ready to take your winter images to the next level, then let’s dive right in, starting with my first tip: 1. How to enhance your winter landscape compositions.The best time of day for winter landscape photography (this one might surprise you!).In this article, I share ten critical winter landscape tips so you can start capturing beautiful snowy landscapes like the pros. Winter landscape photography is a lot of fun – and it doesn’t have to be hard, either, assuming you know the right techniques! ![]() ![]() ![]() This high efficiency steam iron is equipped with the new Microsteam 400 HD.

ROWENTA FOCUS EXCEL STEAM IRON: Maximum vapor diffusion and extreme precision.
