Chris Giles: St Enodoc Church, Daymer Bay And A Yurt

by Mark Bailey December 8, 2016
written by Mark Bailey

Certain parts of the UK have a special hold on my heart and Cornwall is one such place.

When my age could be counted in single digits Cornwall was a source of family holidays, tricking the Space Invaders machine to accept 2p’s at holiday camps in Camelford, pretending to be a rock climber in Tintagel and discovering jellyfish on Polzeath beach are moments that still hold a certain magic and nostalgia for me.

Yet, despite this I’ve not been back to Cornwall since, at least not until Domi and Phil booked me for their wedding at St Enodoc Church in Trebetherick. From that moment I had been counting down the day to my return…

Their wedding started unusually with the boys surfing at Polzeath beach while Dominique got ready at her parents in Rock.

St Enodoc church is honestly the most beautifully located church I’ve ever shot at. The view of St Enodoc aligns perfectly with the Jurassic Cornish coastline that leads to Daymer Bay.

After the ceremony we headed back to Domi’s parents for a reception in a Yurt where the September sun kept us warm. The speeches took place outside followed by a Conga to the beach.

The evening continued and I stayed until the late hours where all the fun continued until close.

A Winkworth Farm Wedding By Chris Giles

by Mark Bailey December 7, 2016
written by Mark Bailey

Welcome to Amy and Karl’s wedding at Winkworth Farm in Malmesbury.

Amy got ready at the family home just a few minutes away from All Saints Church in Garsdon. It’s in the middle of the countryside with fields all around and Amy’s father and Karl renewed the driveway leading up to the church especially for the wedding. It really made it stand out, like a new church!

In this case though, you know you’re on good ground when the vicar is walking around with a selfie stick taking their own photos.

Amy and Karl’s wedding was at the end of May and looking at the weather outside right now (I’m typing this in June) anyone getting married in late April and May made a smart move! The weather was a bit hit and miss but…… changeable is good for photos most of the time!

Winkworth Farm is a feature rich venue with lots of opportunity for photos, the sunken gardens are good to use and around this time of year their flower beds have a wall of Tulips to take advantage of.

The rest of the day took place here with speeches, some night photos and an epic bouquet throw to finish it off.

Digital Photography and it’s Vital Role in Dentistry

by dcadmin August 6, 2016
written by dcadmin

By H. Peter Ku D.D.S. P.A.

Photography helps capture the world around us in hopes to share a moment with others – to stop and appreciate or investigate what is happening before us. These images help us stop and look within the frame of another’s view, so we can gain knowledge from a different perspective.

As time progresses, more and more upcoming technologies emerge that help us capture a clearer image. Oral health professionals embrace changing technologies when they capture the necessary images produced by dental x-rays. These x-rays help us gain information that would otherwise be unseen giving dentists the upper hand in treating your dental concerns.

Traditional x-ray photography

Your dentist uses x-ray photography extensively for taking images of your teeth, gums, and other invisible oral structures and conditions for providing you appropriate dental treatment. Traditional radiographic procedures used a chemically active plate as the sensor. The radiation passing through the examined tooth would impinge on the plate and affect the plate chemical in various locations to various extents depending on the radiation getting through. The plate was then chemically processed (in a wet process, normally called ‘washing’). The result was a dark plate which when held against light would show up an image. Areas which were more opaque to x-ray energy would show up as dark patches and those which passed x-rays more easily would show up brighter.

Digital X-ray photography

Modern technology has replaced the plate with electronic sensors which create the image immediately, doing away with the problems associated with the old (faithful) plate. The digital image is much like the image obtained in a modern digital camera- a soft image- that is, a set of ones and zeros, which is easily stored in any digital device.

Types of Digital Dental Radiographs

  • Digital dental radiographs are categorized as intraoral or extra-oral.
    Intraoral x-rays- Intraoral x-ray photos are taken with the sensor placed inside the mouth against the tooth or teeth to be radiographed. The source is placed on the outside. The x-rays provide fine detail over a smaller area, e.g. a single tooth, and are the most commonly used type.
  • Bitewing x-rays- are taken with the patient biting on a thin plastic handle between his teeth. The handle holds the sensor vertically inside the mouth against the target area. This type of x-ray is useful when both upper and lower jaws must be viewed together, for example, in checking for occlusion problems.
  • Periapical X-rays show a complete tooth from the crown to the root tips and the supporting bone. Unlike the bitewing a Periapical X-ray does not simultaneously show the upper and the lower teeth. It shows complete teeth (one or more) but of one jaw only.
  • Extra-oral X-rays- the x-ray source and the sensor are both outside the mouth. They cannot provide the detail provided by intraoral X-rays and are not used for dealing with individual teeth, like root canal. Rather they are used to detect a wider scenario, e.g., monitor jaw development, temporomandibular problems, etc. Types of extra-oral X-rays include:
  • Panoramic X-rays (Panorex) – the are also called OPG. The machine including the source and the sensor, rotates around the head, to capture the entire mouth, and all the teeth in each jaw, in one image. Panoramic X-rays are helpful in planning treatment for dental implants, jaw problems and impacted wisdom teeth, and also to diagnose bony cysts and tumors.
  • Multi-slice computed tomography (MCT) reconstructs in detail a particular “slice” of the mouth while ignoring blurring all other layers. This type of X-ray is useful for examining structures that are difficult to see clearly.
  • Cephalometric projections, can show the entire head, and help examine the teeth with reference to a patient’s jaw. A cephalometric projection is used by, orthodontists to develop their treatment plans.
  • Sialography is used to examine problems with salivary glands, which may be a simple blockage, or Sjogren’s syndrome (an autoimmune disease that can reduce saliva and tear production). The glands are injected with a radiopaque dye as a contrast agent and then x-rayed.

Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) or CT scans can show the interior structures as a three-dimensional image. The 3-D image is created by computer software from 2-D images taken from different aspects. CBCT is used to identify problems of facial bones like fractures or tumors. CT scans also are helpful in evaluating bone for dental implants and in difficult tooth extractions.

Benefits of Digital Dental Radiography

  • The results are instant, and can be viewed on screen or printed. No chemical processing is required.
  • Quick availability aids in patient comfort.
  • Storage and retrieval is very convenient.
  • Can be transmitted easily for review, comment, and lead to faster insurance settlements.
  • During viewing the image can be magnified, rotated, contrast enhanced etc.
  • As chemicals are avoided the digital imaging is eco-friendly.
  • Digital x-rays normally demand less exposure to radiation.

In a world of technology several inventions and innovations allow for new groundbreaking discoveries. Whether you are capturing the perfect family memory or maintaining those pearly whites photography is key.

Models Day Out by Robert MacNeil

by Mark Bailey June 20, 2016
written by Mark Bailey

“Every photoshoot has to happen somewhere, and the best ones are shot in the action of the world going by. The only problem with that is everyone tends to stop and watch when you have 3 models posing in the middle of all the action of life. It was going to be a long day shooting so we decided to have some fun at the same time. Shot at Toronto’s Centre Island, the day started on the ferry to the island with one of Toronto’s most famous landmarks in the background, The CN tower looms over everything. We explored the amusement area, the food pavilion, the bandstands, then ended the day at the beach where all wonderful days should end. The hardest part of the day was ending it.”

Wonder Woman by Robert MacNeil

by Mark Bailey June 20, 2016
written by Mark Bailey

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

Behind the Mask By Robert MacNeil

by Mark Bailey June 20, 2016
written by Mark Bailey

“We live our lives, behind a mask, never truly showing who you are to others for fear of being rejected or judged. I wanted to focus on what hides behind beauty and what we consider beautiful as a society. What do you see? Two beautiful women, one dark haired, art covering her body and you think you know her? The other, a tall statuesque blonde, standing proud but that’s just the mask they both wear. One is terrified of how people perceive her, the other couldn’t care less. Do you think you know which is which. One raises cows and loves them, the other has an amazing sense of humour and will make you laugh for hours, but what do you see? You see the mask we all wear but not what is BEHIND THE MASK.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Inizio by Robert MacNeil

by dcadmin June 14, 2016
written by dcadmin

Inizio came about one day when I was honestly bored shooting, as I sat waiting for my fashion models to change I began to stare at a flower beside me. One thing I have always tried to capture is the fluidity in nature, be it fluids or the female form I saw the beautiful lines within the detail of this flower. The hunt began to look for the right flower then hundreds of hours tweaking them to make them feel like everything from black holes, a womb, living organisms with cells to even more colourful flowers. As I spent many years in the Italian bicycle industry Inizio means the Beginning, and I felt these images are the beginning of a new step in my photographic career. They changed everything for me as they have been published all over the world, exhibited in 7 countries and continue to mesmerize people. ( and yes you can rotate the images anyway you want, there is no right way to face them)
Thank you for looking.
