So many people search for images using their favourite search engine browser. They may well be looking for inspiration or websites with content relative to the images they find. Many are actively searching for images to use in their own projects. Whilst this is a valid and legal way to find images, actually using them without the owner's permission infringes copyright and they risk prosecution.<br />
It used to be an expensive exercise to buy licenses to use images, but in recent years the individual costs for an image can be very low, using many of the large stock agency websites like <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22https://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=d0R8sdVS/dg&offerid=373113.101&type=3&subid=0%22%20%3EFind%20your%20perfect%20image%20today%3C/a%3E%3CIMG%20border=0%20width=1%20height=1%20src=%22https://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=d0R8sdVS/dg&bids=373113.101&type=3&subid=0%22%20%3E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Alamy</a>. Too low according to some of the photographers who supply the images to these agency websites. Costs are further reduced when buying larger quantities, or offers which they run from time to time.<br />
So now one has no excuse to break the law by downloading and using any image you want from the internet. In most cases the image you want will be available to purchase at a low cost.<br />

Whether it be to reduce debts, save for a holiday, pay medical bills, invest in a child's future or your own retirement. The list is endless but ultimately having extra cash coming in each week without having to take another job is always worth looking at.<br />
There are plenty of ads and marketing campaigns out there promising millions by working from home on get rich quick schemes. Many of us are skeptical of these and rightly so.<br />
I'm now adding affiliate marketing to my web research toolbox and learning curve, to see if increasing income in this way is really possible in a realistic time frame and efffort.<br />
Initial research has led me to <b><a href="https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/?a_aid=41e152c8" target="_blank">Wealthy Affiliate</a></b>, and so here starts my journey. My goal is not necessarily to earn loads of cash but that I create more time to spend with the family and less time at my computer.<br />
If you too are looking at earning a little extra and you've not ventured into this before, even if you do not have your own website or blog, it may well be worth checking out <b><a href="https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/?a_aid=41e152c8" target="_blank">WealthyAffiliate</a></b> too by clicking on this link, it's free to start:<br />

It was late (October) for this but I felt I had to provide them with something to make food for the winter months ahead. Two weeks later I noticed that they hadn't touched it, so I took it away and placed some <a href="http://amzn.to/2mZk0TG" target="_blank">fondant</a> directly above/on the frames. I noticed the colony were down in numbers but not drastically. I also placed the <a href="http://amzn.to/2nsxEBR" target="_blank">mouse guard</a> on the entrance.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, 10 days later, I watched the hive entrance for a while and saw no activity. The sun was up and was hitting the hive, it was a cold day but warm in the sun. I noticed a few bees flying but they could either not find the entrance and flew away or they were bees from another colony.<br />
<br />
I had assumed that it was too cold for them to be out or due to lower numbers needed to stay close to the queen. I couldn't resist lifting the roof to see what was happening and to my horror I found it empty apart from maybe 50 bees huddled together, presumably around the queen. I quickly put back the roof but realised that they wouldn't survive like that. I also noticed there were many wasps around probably because of the dead carcasses around the hive and blocking up the entrance.<br />
<br />
The next morning I was proved correct, the queen was in fact dead and lying on the floor of the hive along with about 40 bees. Where are the thousands of others that were there two weeks ago? Would they have died outside the hive?<br />
<br />
I took the hive apart and inspected all the frames to see if I could find out a cause. I photographed them too, you can see them below. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure now what I am supposed to do with these frames, as I do not have any other bees. Should they be stored, spun-off, destroyed? Not sure yet if they were diseased or not but there are some bodies part in/out of cells and the floor board has many heads amongst the other debris which had fallen through.<br />
<br />
I have kept some of the dead bees and the queen, in the hope someone can look at them to help me evaluate the cause. I'll put up some closer images of what I find in the next blog.<br />
<br />
11/11/11 a sad day indeed.<br />

Taken from the forward: <br />
First and foremost a practical guide to the first three years of beekeeping. In the first year it tells you how to start and what you need to buy, how you cope with the bees, and how to prepare them for the winter. In the second year it tells you how to spring clean etc and the third year it looks at swarms in detail and so on…<br />
A lovely hardback with loose cover, inside the book is filled with plates, illustrations and instructive diagrams.
Written by Jeremy Evans in collaboration with Sheila Berrett this is very good value and is full of useful information.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><br><br>©AGR All rights reserved 2006. More at www.agrfoto.com</div>Alex Rowbothamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08017355457095527809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502379406854966746.post-65763082142086196342011-10-14T20:36:00.013+02:002017-03-23T21:00:42.085+01:00Bees, Frames and Hive, Italian Alps, Oct 2011So on a balmy Indian summer October day I checked the condition of my bee hive and the occupants. Its my first and only hive which I took ownership and responsibility for at the end of August.<br />
<br />
A new colony from early summer who spent the summer months drawing out the wax and growing in numbers. The hive has been only a brood box as they have not needed to expand at all and therefore there has not been surplus honey for us to steal away from them This is expected in the first year.<br />
<br />
Now that autumn should be well underway and winter around the corner, I wanted to make sure that they were <a href="http://amzn.to/2mwUTLW" target="_blank">treated for varroa and nosema</a> and fed. I took a video of the inspection and you can plainly see that the two end frames are drawn out but with very little in the way of stores. Being a novice I was not that confident that I new what I was looking for. However I spotted the queen, you can see her quite clearly on two of the frames, she has a white dot painted on her for ease of recognition and to show the year she took the thrown (2011).<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://amzn.to/2mwUTLW" target="_blank">treatment of varroa</a> seems to have been successful since the bottom board showed about 300 mites after the first week and a little more the second and the third less. Each treatment I preceded by placing a new white piece of paper on the board smeared with vaseline.<br />
<br />
I have given them about 6 kilo of <a href="http://amzn.to/2o9QHya" target="_blank">sugar syrup</a> so far and this was fed to them over a four week period, there is about a liter left which they seem to be avoiding. About 50 bees have drowned over that same period.<br />
<br />
Wasps are very interested in the hive and I have seen one enter the main entrance and I didn't see it leave. I thought they were being robbed once by other bees which panicked me for a while. I realized that I probably caused the commotion as it was when I made the first <a href="http://amzn.to/2mwUTLW" target="_blank">ApiLife Var treatment</a>.<br />
<br />
Any comments or thoughts on what I should do (or not do) with regard to the apparent lack of stores is welcome! The hive is in a good place for the hot summer days since it also offers some shade but I realize now that there will be no sun falling on it during the cold winter months. At 650m altitude the temperature has dropped to -16C in previous years. Although most of October has so far stayed between 15C and 25C, only dropping to 11 once at night.<br />

Taken from the forward: <br />
First and foremost a practical guide to the first three years of beekeeping. In the first year it tells you how to start and what you need to buy, how you cope with the bees, and how to prepare them for the winter. In the second year it tells you how to spring clean etc and the third year it looks at swarms in detail and so on…<br />
A lovely hardback with loose cover, inside the book is filled with plates, illustrations and instructive diagrams.
Written by Jeremy Evans in collaboration with Sheila Berrett this is very good value and is full of useful information.<br />
<br />
If you need <a href="http://amzn.to/2mZ0xme" target="_blank">new National</a> hives or just buying your own, <a href="http://amzn.to/2mZ0xme" target="_blank">you should consider this</a> as it less than half price, a bargain if you ask me. All advice suggests, you should start with two not one.<br />

<br />
A time-lapse sequence (25 fps = 0'44") of all 1100 photographs I made 19th September 2011. There is a jump toward the end, I was distracted and didn't replace the 2nd 16GB card in the camera on time, I missed about an hour, 120 shots (4 secs) :-(<br />
<br />
Subjects include:<br />
Apple picking in Val Venosta, South Tyrol, Italy<br />
<br />
Typical! The only two days that it rained in September were these, and just when these trees were harvested. Shot from a back window of the castle (Schloss Goldrain) so the camera was dry. It was also the first snow of the season, you may just see it on the mountains at the end of the sequence. Over these two days the temperature dropped 10-15 degrees but one week later back to summer!<br />
<br />
I have not used audio mainly to avoid copyright issues, and therefore respecting the rights of artists.<br />
<br />
For those that like equipment... these were all taken with a<a href="http://amzn.to/2mu1N4v" target="_blank"> Canon 5D</a>, an <a href="http://amzn.to/2o5WPr4" target="_blank">EF 14mm f/2.8L USM</a> and a timer - 1 shot every 30 seconds.

<br />
Not Enough Time (Non abbastanza tempo) 6 minutes, HD (1920x1080)<br />
<br />
I was honored that it was selected to close the festival on Sunday evening.<br />
It was felt that it epitomized what the festival was about in content, emotion and execution.<br />
The Duse Theatre was almost at full capacity.<br />
<br />
Inspired by a poem, of the same title, a collection of words by Daniel Rowbotham following the loss of his daughter in 2008. When asked about the apparent hidden meanings, he replied:<br />
<br />
"<span style="font-style: italic;">I had been guided to write everything down, as my head was in a mess. It was the time when Beren was in the chapel of rest around the corner at the undertakers. I woke with a start, sat up scribbled, crashed back into deep sleep. This happened again not long after, the result is the words printed on the sheet unaltered, unedited. It is remarkable that you have found such fantastic meanings in them.</span>"<br />
<br />
It was an emotional struggle for me to complete the show on time and was only possible to due the dedication and hard work from those who helped me get there. Especially from <a href="http://www.sandrodistefano.it/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sandro Di Stefano</span></a> (Rome) who composed the music and created the finished soundtrack. He understood the subject and my initial concept so well that we were able to work from a distance, he propped me up. The voice of my brother Dan was recorded from an even further distance over the telephone, this was meant to be a guide for a voice-over artist to recreate in English as well as Italian. In the end it features in the soundtrack, it lends so much of the power behind the emotion and message that I could not leave it out. The poem was kindly interpreted from English to Italian by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Silvia Tiso</span> and with the help from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcellomazzilli" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Marcello Mazzilli</span></a> and expertise of <a href="http://www.federicopelle.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Federico Pelle</span></a> we were able to record the great voice of <a href="https://www.bodalgo.com/it/speaker/maurizio-busato" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Maurizio Busato</span></a> for the Italian, this was recorded at <a href="http://www.federicopelle.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The Basement</span></a> in Vicenza. All of these people donated their time and energy for free, without much notice and with a tight schedule. I shall remain eternally grateful to them. Additional thanks also to my wife Sabrina for organising me and the donations in Asolo, to Hans Ruedisueli who helped me through some technical issues and for his moral support, and of course to all the <a href="http://www.fantadia.com/" target="_blank">Fantadia</a> staff and crew.<br />
<br />
The original visual material used in the show came primarily from online image stock sites, paid for through royalty-free use or from free image sites. Also many images came from the Menigitis Research Foundation website <a href="http://www.meningitis.org/" target="_blank">www.menigitis.org</a> (Book of Remembrance). A small selection came from various family members or were created by me.<br />
<br />
It is dedicated to my niece, Beren Rowbotham ,who at the age of ten lost her fight against meningitis (meningococcal septicaemia). The opening title was written by her older sister Cendl.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Even though the audience had bought tickets for the whole evening of shows, a donation box outside the theatre collected 230 Euro. This will be put towards the sponsorship of the 1000 mile tandem bike ride by Dan and Jen, from Hereford (UK) to Vierzon (France) which starts this weekend (18th June), to help raise awareness and funds for further research.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
If you weren't in Asolo to see it's first screening, then you can watch it here online. Eventually it will be available to download in higher resolution for use at other fund raising/ awareness events and distribution.<br />

<br />
"Among Cornwall-based contemporary photographers featured are Vince Bevan, Anthony Fagin, Kate Fagin, Miles Flint, Andrew Lanyon, Slavek Leszczynski, <a href="https://www.alexrowbotham.com/" target="_blank">Alex Rowbotham</a>, Nik Strangelove, Steve Tanner, Gary Treadwell, and Mark Webster."<br />

Out of the door 45 minutes later.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/T1i0X3nZyNE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T1i0X3nZyNE?feature=player_embedded" width="483"></iframe></div>
28th August 2010, the 10th annual Stelvio Bike ride to the Stelvio Pass (2760m), the second highest in the Alps. The road is traffic-free for the day, 48 hairpins, 25kms and a rise in altitude of approximately 1810 m, the average incline is therefore about 7.4%.<br />
<br />
I've done it a few times before by bike (and once in a 20 yr old camper) but this is the first time with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2o485UU" target="_blank">GoPro camera</a> strapped to my chest. See other posts about this camera and tests.<br />
<br />
Living so close to Stelvio meant that we could arrive and start early before the 7000 other cyclists turning up throughout the day. Even though we were early, there were many locals already enroute to the 'official start' in the town of Prato allo Stelvio (Prad am Stilsferjoch). You could tell they were locals because they weren't wearing helmets.<br />
<br />
I dropped Sabrina off in Prato to meet with friends who would then cycle the full route together, whilst I drove on up to my starting point in Trafoi. I did this in order to be arriving at the pass about the time they did, it takes me longer because I stop frequently along the route to take pictures, and in this case video. I stuck in my ear phones and pressed play for one of my favourite cycling albums by <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncIP0R" target="_blank">Orbital.</a><br />
<br />
If you are cycling this road for the first time, and you begin here then you will be starting straight into the steep climb without any warm up... and you'll miss the breakfast at the real start ;-)<br />
The <a href="http://www.bella-vista.it/" target="_blank">Hotel Bella Vista</a> (ran by the Gustav Toni family) is on hairpin 46 and this is where I began after an espresso in the hotel bar. It was then almost 8am.<br />
<br />
For me, on the way up the temperature was perfect for this ride, apart from about 20 minutes of light rain from about turn 20. At this time of the morning one doesn't reach the sunshine until about turn 30 and this is welcome because it can get quite hot when you're burning the calories. Along route there are few refreshment stops and a National Park 'cabin' where you can buy your souvenir cyclist shirt (10 Euro) so that you have something dry to wear on the way down :-)<br />
<br />
It's uncanny, but Sabrina always catches me up and overtakes me at hairpin turn 4, just before the top. This time I caught her on video heading for the last turn. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<iframe width="483" height="360" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZOMvPLxfjuI/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZOMvPLxfjuI?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br />
At the top there was a growing crowd of people and bicycles with still space to get through and lean my bike against a wall somewhere. Later people just leave them piled up against each other or lay them on the floor.<br />
<br />
The low cloud began to arrive, a sure sign that the rain would too, so after a brief refreshment, and the obligatory photo by the sign, we left to descend again. They went down the other side of the pass and back through Switzerland, therefore avoiding all the cycle traffic still coming up. I went back the same way, as I wanted to make the following video... plus I had to get back to my car at turn 46 and a warming cup of tea with the lovely bar staff at <a href="http://www.bella-vista.it/" target="_blank">Bella Vista</a>.<br />
<br />
My back light fell off and bounced over the wall soon after setting off so I had to stop and go mountain climbing to get it back. After that it was 30 mins of free wheeling, cold fingers and dodging those coming up on the wrong side of the road. The video you will see is 5 times faster than normal and for a while there is a rain drop smack bang in the middle, which makes it look like one of my migraines.<br />
<br />
See you there next year!<br />

<br />
Yet another test, I took my new <a href="http://amzn.to/2mTRTFA" target="_blank">GoPro</a> camera out for another long(ish) bike ride, down the valley to Naturno, this movie is part of the return leg, shot with standard video (r4) 4:3 (960p @ 30 fps) by mistake as I thought I'd set it for timelapse (P5) 1 shot every 5 seconds. Oh well. I sped it up using After Effects as I did the last time.<br />
<br />
As with the previous tests I was using the <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncSV1P" target="_blank">GoPro chest strap</a> to which I have added foam padding to in order to lift the angle of view to include the horizon more.<br />
This time I got the balance right.<br />
I still have to try mounting the camera and J-hook (adapter) upside down allowing adjustment in the opposite direction rather than this rather crude way I've done it.<br />
<br />
[ UPDATE 2017 - this chest strap design has been superceded by a <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncSV1P" target="_blank">better product</a> ] <br />
<br />
So I'm set for Saturday and the Stelvio Bike 2010, the annual bike ride to the Stelvio Pass (2760m), the second highest in the Alps. That is if the storm, that is now upon us, has cleared away by then.<br />
<br />

<br />
As another test, I took my new <a href="http://amzn.to/2mTRTFA" target="_blank">GoPro camera</a> out for its first long(ish) bike ride, to Coldrano (Goldrain) from Lasa (Laas) a small town in Val Venosta known for its white marble. Still in my 'testing period' I chose to use 1 shot every 2 seconds on the way there and standard video (r4) 4:3 (960p @ 30 fps) on the return.<br />
<br />
As with the previous test I was using a chest strap with I have added foam padding to in order to lift the angle of view to include the horizon more.<br />
<br />
[ UPDATE 2017 - this chest strap design has been superceded by a <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncSV1P" target="_blank">better product</a> ] <br />
<br />
This time the final movie (above) was created using After Effects to speed up the original film to 25%, 4x faster and to add the frame. Then using VisualHub to make the Flash file (swf). It may keep pausing if you haven't got a fast internet connection, sorry about that.<br />
<br />
I still have to make a better 'wedge' of foam for the chest strap as during the journey it moves around and loses its higher angle view. Or perhaps mount the camera and J-hook (adapter) upside down allowing adjustment in the opposite direction. I'd then have to invert the image again later but that's not a problem.<br />
<br />
Hoping to get this right by Saturday as I'll be joining in the Stelvio Bike 2010, the annual bike ride to the Stelvio Pass (2760m), the second highest in the Alps. I want to record it!<br />

So last night I read the instructions played with the settings and charged the battery.<br />
<br />
Today I went out and did a circuit on my mountain bike of about 7 minutes, three times, each with a different setting. I also bought the <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncSV1P" target="_blank">GoPro Chesty</a> too, so the camera is strapped to my chest rather than the helmet.<br />
<br />
1. The widest angle, standard definition video (720 @ 30fps). <br />
2. The camera default, standard 4:3 video (960p @ 30 fps).<br />
3. Timelapse sequence (animation below), 1 shot every 2 seconds.<br />
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<iframe width="463" height="360" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xyc8ZWC75EI/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xyc8ZWC75EI?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br />
The movie was created using QuickTime Pro as an imported image sequence at 6 fps, the reulting movie was then converted using VisualHub to a Flash file (swf).<br />
<br />
I have only two comments so far, one about the strap and one about the camera:<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncSV1P" target="_blank">Chesty</a> strap mount does not allow you to raise the camera angle enough to include the horizon, in my first test it shot mainly the handlebars, my knees and feet and some of the road ahead. With the second it was a better because the 4:3 ratio included a greater angle in the vertical. For the third test I placed a strip of foam rubber under the plate forcing the camera to point higher. Now you can see the horizon, but before I go out again later today for a longer jaunt I will use a thicker piece of foam just to push it a little bit higher.<br />
<br />
[ UPDATE 2017 - this chest strap design has been superceded by a <a href="http://amzn.to/2ncSV1P" target="_blank">better product</a> ]<br />
<br />
Maybe it's my posture or the shape of my chest isn't the same size or shape of the average bloke.<br />
<br />
My second comment is, and you will see this in the example video, that the exposure can't be fixed to a known source. That is to say, the first picture taken after leaving shade to full sun is over-exposed and the first one taken after leaving full sun is underexposed. So you will notice "flashing" frames during the sequence. It would be nice to be able to tell the camera to use an exposure for one or the other, a manual setting in other words.<br />

Yes that's right, it seems that the majority of boys born here in South Tyrol last year were named after me! I'm honored and flattered. When I was in shorts and knee socks at my first school, and later at my secondary (but not in shorts), I was the only one in the world to be lucky enough, or as I thought at the time, unlucky enough to have this name. I just wanted to be Stephen, David, Andrew, Mark or some other boring, normal name that all the rest of the boys had. Standing out from the crowd was not what I wanted, as that was more ammo for the Stephen, David, Andrew and Mark brigade... no it isn't short for Alexander (or Alexsandra you idiots), I was christened Alex.<br />
<br />
My mother did a great job at finding names that, at the time, we all hated because of the teasing one gets as a small child fending for your own space. Now it's great to have these as our identities, especially for me because Alex is Alex in most languages and nobody spells it wrong (that privilege goes to my surname). She also tried to find names that could not be shortened as she had a dislike for nicknames. My siblings are Delia, Daniel and Bruce, and much to my mother's disappointment we all had names that our friends used, which have since stuck - De, Dan, Al and Bruce, well he could hardly be called Bru. So she managed one out of four I guess.<br />
<br />
So now I will hear my name being called in parks, shopping centers, bars, by the pool, on the beach... and for the first time it won't be me that they are yelling at.<br />
<br />
I will still turn around though.<br />
<br />
Stuck for names for your newborn? You may find a <a href="http://amzn.to/2mUkytS" target="_blank">useful name book here at Amazon</a>, try not to use Alex please, there are too many already ;-) </div>

Why this name?... beats me as it is neither... even if they say it is. I know, I've seen it and been in it even while it was on the move.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=884u-LatK7w" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" target="_blank"><img alt="Dan and Briony in Big Bluey" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501942157570486978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ESFIIHRtBA8c7yKUHtmtZgh8gPaoA2XRC5AQrdqiiEcY3UhL0fYhzqGbzlvcF2-4ykOsMbfHewCBiklmP-R_XcRR6-gbjoqQaViXHxeDEOoM_-GVulMBVX2rXwOSkSwxff0ssAUFqPI/s320/AGRfoto_5D_0704.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 214px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 320px;" /></a> Anyway, they paused briefly with us in the South Tyrolean valley of Val Venosta, but I'll let them fill you in on their time here on their own blog <a href="http://www.travelpod.com/travel-blog/brionyanddan/1/tpod.html" target="_blank">brionyanddan</a>. As a contributing 'sponsor' I'm just adding some images and a movie of their impressive adventure.<br />
<br />
It was great having them here and they promised to come back and conquer the Stelvio Pass on bicycles... well Dan did anyway and he also volunteered the rest of his family too although they don't realise it yet.<br />
<br />
For those that don't know, the Stelvio Pass (2760m) is the second highest road in the Alps (the highest is only 12m higher), it has 48 hair-pin bends, very popular with cyclists, motorcyclists and car enthusiasts from afar, just ask Jeremy Clarkson. It takes a very long time to get to the top in a 20 yr old camper and almost as long to come down again without melting the brakes completely.<br />
