| Landscape Lighting - Design for the Outdoors | | 2008-03-12 16:22:09 | | Landscape lighting can be used to improve the beauty of your home’s exterior while providing security and safety. Enhance the ambiance of your property at night with low-voltage landscape lighting of trees, shrubs and flowers, plus increase safety by lighting up stairs, driveways, walkways and grounds with post lanterns and tier lights. Low voltage lighting uses only 12 volts of electricity and is safe to install.You can easily create a lighting plan by choosing one or two points of interest and make these the centerpiece of your landscape lighting display, then build the rest of your lighting plan around your focal point. Unique landscape features, such as sculptures and shaped shrubbery, can be highlighted using spotlights, or a sequence of spotlights can create an interesting mosaic of colors and textures. In addition, up-lighting adds visual interest to objects such as trees, bushes, statues and fountains.Other techniques include the use of path lighting to illuminate the areas | | By: Lighting Design Tips | | |

| | | Why YouTube’s ads could change the video landscape | | 2007-08-24 14:02:00 | | Google’s online video unit, YouTube, this week unveiled ad units for video. After months of testing, Google thinks it has finally found an ad format that will satisfy marketers without alienating video viewers. In YouTube’s new ad format, a translucent pane appears for 10 seconds on the bottom fifth of the video screen; click to see the ad, and the video pauses and the ad plays. When the ad is finished, the video picks up where it left off. At first blush, the video ad move might seem like little more than Google’s attempt to make back the $1.65 billion it spent last year to buy YouTube, a startup with a devoted following of video viewers, but few revenues and no profits. And indeed, Google is a public company, so it will need to find ways to make its investment pay off.

| | | Dry Australian Landscape - The real Aussie Bliss? | | 2007-08-01 05:27:00 | | Australian Grazing Field - a Dry LandscapeDry Australian LandscapeWhen I saw this photo, I immediately thought of the Windows XP desktop background "Bliss" that many will know so well. It depicts an artificially green meadow with a perfect sky in the background, and some distant mountains. Well, this photo shows a far from perfect landscape, with the dry, parched grass and hot looking sky, but I suppose you could call this the "Aussie Bliss". This photo was taken near Goondiwindi, in Queensland, Australia.This photo differs from the "rule of thirds" we have been seeing lately - the photo is plainly comprised of two sections split vertically by the tree line. Both the curve of the clouds and the pattern of the grass incline the viewer's attention towards the center-right of the picture, meeting the horizon as it reaches the edge of the image.The main feeling conveyed by this picture seems to be one of dryness, of a starved countryside that is deprived of it's utmost source of vitality | | By: David's Nature Photography Gallery | | |

If you have land surrounding your house, you can plan and design a beautiful landscape to give you extra living space or add aesthetics to the building. Landscape design can be done for homes, public places and corporate establishments.
