New Mexico, NM
The
State of New Mexico is a state in the
southwestern region of the United States of
America. Over its relatively long history it has
also been occupied by Native American
populations and has been part of the Imperial
Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of
Mexico, and a U.S. territory.
Among U.S. states, New Mexico has simultaneously
the highest percentage of Hispanic Americans
(comprised of both recent immigrants and
descendants of Spanish colonists) and the
second-highest percentage of Native Americans
after Alaska (mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples).
As a
result, the demographics and culture of the
state are unique for their strong Spanish,
Mexican, and American Indian cultural
influences.
The
climate of the state is highly arid and its
territory is mostly covered by mountains and
desert.
At a
population density of 15 per square mile, New
Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S.
State.
Geography
The
eastern border of New Mexico lies along 103° W
longitude with the state of Oklahoma, and three
miles (5 km) west of 103° W longitude with
Texas.
On
the southern border, Texas makes up the eastern
two-thirds, while the Mexican states of
Chihuahua and Sonora make up the western third,
with Chihuahua making up about 90% of that. The
western border with Arizona runs along the 109°
03' W longitude. The 37° N latitude parallel
forms the northern boundary with Colorado.
The
states New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah
come together at the Four Corners in the
northwestern corner of New Mexico.
The
landscape ranges from wide, rose-colored deserts
to broken mesas to high, snow-capped peaks.
Despite New Mexico's arid image, heavily
forested mountain wildernesses cover a
significant portion of the state, especially
towards the north.
The
Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) Mountains,
the southernmost part of the Rocky Mountains,
run roughly north-south along the east side of
the Rio Grande in the rugged, pastoral north.
Cacti, yuccas, creosote bush, sagebrush, and
desert grasses cover the broad, semiarid plains
that cover the southern portion of the state.

Fantasy Photography Niche - How To Use Green Screen
And Create Fantasy Photography
by
Ariel Kalkuda
In
the last 12 months more and more small and medium
studios for photography had gained their popularity
using greenscreen fantasy photography. Greenscreen,
also called in Hollywood studios chrome key
technology, is the perfect tool to use for these
studios, so they could blow their competition out of
the way.
Large studios with large investments do not bother
using that tool for them creating a set on location
is much easier. However, in my small studio, using
that amazing tool, brings something new and fresh to
the business for me and for my clients. If you are
ready to take yourself and your business a step
further and to be differentiated from the crowd,
fantasy photography is a great niche to specialize
in.
In
regard to fantasy photography, we can talk about
three main niches: role playing, science fiction and
fairy tales. Science fiction is the most popular and
it suites all ages from children to adults. In that
niche, the more obvious is the genre of "Star Wars"
and "Star Trek".
You
can find in just a few minutes thousands of
cost-players who will be happy to put on a costume,
whenever they can and have their picture taken. You
can get amazing ideas from your customers about the
scene and the back ground they would like to be in.
Another fantasy photography niche includes the role
playing games "Dungeons And Dragons" and stories
such as the "Lord Of The Rings", for example.
It
is going to be a lot of fun taking these types of
pictures, shoot your client wearing different
costumes in front of the green screen, holding the
weapon of their choice in. Then, use digital
backgrounds such as stunning nature scenes and old
castles.
Fairy tales are the third category for fantasy
niches. You will be surprised to know that there is
a large group of people that enjoy and love these
types of pictures.
Not
only small children and their mothers like fairy
tale photos, female high school seniors also do. To
ensure you provide them with instant magic and
joyful memories, I would consider taking their
pictures in mystical landscape wearing their prom
dress.
To
achieve a fairy tale scenario pick for your Clint
custom any gentle creature and place them in
mystical landscapes that give a sense of mystery.
Anime and video game are another niche that can also
fit as a fantasy photography. To find inspiring
locations look into Japanese and Chinese pictures.
While using green screen for your fantasy
photography it does not matter how strange or
outlandish the costume may be, and what kind of
background you have chosen.
Positioning your client in the picture that will
look believable to the client, will be the last and
most important and you will have repeated business
for years to come.
