Lift-Off for Innovative New Online Music StoreWritten by Hawksbill Music
Continued from page 1
Several high-profile bands have taken file-sharing networks to court and won, and now record labels are suing downloaders themselves. But Joseph said: "The artists get a fair deal with Hawksbill Music, and much more cash than other similar services". Each song will cost between 50p and £2, and once a purchase has been made, buyer will be free to transfer it to CD or portable player. Users who have purchased a track are encouraged to share it with others, and will earn a small cut of any sales that result from this. A wide range of artists, of differing genres, have already signed up including Reed Rothchild, a Los Angeles ambient-electronic composer, and Tetrix, a highly experimental Canadian four-piece. Joseph said, "I am confident Hawksbill will be a success, as a whole new avenue in music world has been opened."

5. Occasionally turn camera vertically. So many people don’t seem to realize that they can turn their camera on to vertical. Imagine that you trying to get this tall evergreen perched on a rock above a vista. If camera is horizontal you’ll crop out tree, if you turn camera vertical you’ll get tree and a lot of vista too. Try this when you taking photos. Take one shot horizontal and then turn camera vertical. You’ll be surprised. 6. If you’re taking a photo of a large horizon it will probably look flat on film. You need a sense of scale. So frame your image. Sometimes this can be a family member on one side of shot, perhaps looking out into beautiful horizon. A tree, rock, or plant can work in landscape shots just make sure that framing item is not focus of your shot. This will get you started. Nature and landscape photography is a specialized area of art but with practice you can improve your snap shots to capture some of great places you’ve seen.If you have some specific questions please visit my Photography and Design Forum at: http://kellypaalphotography.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/index.php and post your question there.
