2.when a camera flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may appear red in the finished photograph.What is known as " red-eye " is the result of light form the flash reflecting of the pupils of the eyes. The phenomenon of red-eye can be lessened by using the red-eye reduction feature found on many SLR cameras. This feature activates a lamp which shines a small light directly into the subject’s eyes.

Since a smaller pupil means a smaller host for the reflection, the chances of red –eye occurring are greatly reduced.
3.Constructing a wedding cake is a complicated process. Before any baking takes place, the size of the cake and the decorative design to be used must be determined. Then the layers are baked. On a large cake the bottom layers may be as much as sixteen inches in diameter. Because of their size, these layers must be baked one at a time, a process which may actually take an entire day. Once the layers are cooled, same-size pairs are matched and frosted. Since large wedding cakes are surprisingly heavy, half- inch dowel rods must be measured, cut and carefully driven into the bottom layeres. These wooden posts provide hidden support for the weighty upper layers. When all the layers are set in place, flowers, garlands and leaves of frosting are added. These delicate touches individualize the wedding cake and transform merely a cake into a culinary work of art.
4.Throwing a clay pot, the age old art of making pottery on a wheel, is a process that requires many step. Assuming the potter does not have to make his own clay, the first step toward the finished product is wedging the clay. Here, the potter kneads the clay of air pockets and align its molecules. Now the material must be centered. Centering not only takes strength but time as well. The clay must be coerced into a perfectly symmetrical shape, dead center on the spinning wheel. To proceed with poorly centered clay is to court certain disaster in the form of tilting uneven pots, or worse, the total collapse of the piece. When correctly centered, the clay is ready to be opened. To do this, the potter finds the center of the clay and slowly sinks a rigid finger into the still-spinning clay. Only now can the clay be shaped. With a steady but gentle hand, the potter pulls up the sides of the pot until the desired height is reached. Now the shaping is completed and the pot is ready to be dried, fired and glazed. Thus, even though a clay pot may appear simple to makes, fashioning one by hand is a long and sometimes tedious process.
