England stars talk man out of jumping off bridge in Sydney
It may have been a miserable tour for England but two members of the travelling party put sport firmly in perspective as they talked a man down from jumping off Darling Harbour.
England duo Matt Prior and Stuart Broad managed to pull the man away from the bridge in Sydney and spoke to him for an hour before police arrived at the scene.
In what was reported by the Daily Telegraph as being a 'dramatic late night rescue', Prior and Broad rescued the man who was preparing to leap off the bridge near to the team's hotel.
Having got the man down and out of trouble, the pair chatted to him patiently for almost an hour until New South Wales police arrived on the scene.
"We just did what anybody would do in that situation," Prior told the Telegraph.
"We were trying to help a bloke who was struggling and in a bad way. I look back and I’m just glad we left the bar when we did and we were there for him."
The man was believed to be British, hailing from Cheltenham. He had reportedly thrown his phone, passport and wallet in the water by the time the players arrived.
Prior and Broad were returning from a Barmy Army event as the England supporters' group raised funds for the Broad Appeal - a charity set up to raise awareness to combat Motor Neurone Disease.
The players are understood to have thought the man was standing on the bridge for a dare, but quickly realised the seriousness of the situation and informed Terry Minish, the team's security officer.
"Walking back to the hotel we spotted a young man on the edge of the bridge about to jump," Minish told the Telegraph.
"He was saying he just wanted to drown. Matt helped to pull him down off the edge of the bridge and sat with him until the police arrived.
"It all happened very quickly and we acted on impulse. It is what you do in these situations."
Prior returned home on Tuesday while Broad is to remain in the country for the start of the one-day series before captaining England in the Twenty20 series against Australia.
No matter what the pair achieved on the field or will go on to do, they can be regarded as true heroes from a tour that has not been remotely positive from an England perspective.

Amazing Fashion
Fashion forms a key part of many of our important industries, especially those involving design, such as cars, computer printers and clothing. In the world of machines, changes in design often accompany technical improvements.
However, new design in clothing is more commonly motivated by fashion. Differences in the climate from season to season and the tendency to equate each new year with a new look provide textiles companies with frequent opportunities to renew their sales.
These marketing opportunities are often realised by associating products with people. Fashion models are highly paid to provide appropriate images of good health, comfortable life-styles, success and beauty.
Fashion is usually regarded as fun and provides the focus of many popular magazines. However, controversy occurs in some instances. The image provided by the fashion model may shock, it may fail to have any connection with the product itself or it may endorse a product such as a fur coat which some people find offensive.

babies are made in such a hilarious way
Patrice Lorache is a known Canadian photographer whose idea-picture representation saves him from the curiosity of many young who would like to get explanations for many things. At the time of his wife’s pregnancy, he creatively brought in art to explain how babies are made in such a hilarious way. The photo series dumped how to make a baby is an eye catching series done by both parties throughout the gestation period shots taken at the best and calculated moments. Photos taken as the Sandra’s tummy grew big with baby Justine from the car station site. The Patrice and Sandra pregnancy story outlaws all the traditional tales told to the young about pregnancy and where babies come from. In the picture series, the man continuously pumps air to the wife’s belly to the maximum amount of air space it can hold. At that point the good news are the tearing apart of the tummy is a joyful moment and the baby bathing ceremony ensues. The couple is in a celebratory mood with their baby with them wrapped with the available clothing within reach. If your guess and mine tally then you can tell how much fun will there be in the house.

9 Pet Photography Tips
Pets fill very quickly their place in our hearts and families and we enjoy having their pictures framed on our desk or wall! However taking pictures of your best friend is not always easy. Pets, unlike humans, do not understand what we are trying to do and won’t just pose for the camera! Here are 9 tips that will help you help you get the most of your photo session
1. Use Natural Light
If possible always use natural light when taking your pet in picture. Avoid flash, as flash burst can, not only cause red-eye, but also frighten the animal. Instead try to go outside or, if it is not possible, in a room well lit by a large window.
2. Keep the Eyes Sharp
Having sharp eyes is important in any kind of portraits photography. As they say, “Eyes are the Window to the Soul” and pets eye can be very expressive. So make sure to focus on your pet’s eyes and keep the tack sharp
Photography-Pets-1
3. Go to Them
It is very important that you pet feels comfortable and at ease, so instead of forcing him to come to you go to him. Most important is to get down to his level; We all know how a dog looks when viewed from above, this is the way we always see them. Show us the way they see world! Sit on the floor or lie on your belly and remember to shoot from HIS eye level or below.
4. Give Value to their Character
You know your pet better than anyone else, and a successful picture is one that conveys the character of its subject. If you have a lazy cat show him yawning, if your animal is of a playful type show him in action performing his favorite trick.

5. Go Macro
Put on that long lens and fill the frame with your pet’s face and fur, close up shots often make beautiful animal portrait.
6. Surprise Them
One of the most difficult things is to let your pet hold still. An easy trick is to let him play quietly and, once you have everything ready, let someone call for him or whistle. This will surprise him and caught his attention and you will have a few seconds to capture him in a nice and alert posture

7. Schedule your Session

If you want a more dynamic shot then pick up a time when your pet is energetic. If he is sick it is better to just postpone it for another day.

Models of Baby
The model for this baby shoot was Alice. One of the problems you can encounter initially when photographing children is deciding what sort of shots you intend to capture. We’ve become a fan of a trend towards close-up detail shots of babies.
For instance, only concentrating on main features such as the hands, eyes, feet and mouth. By using a macro lens, we were able to get within centimetres of Alice and capture the extreme detail in her features.
By opting to use natural light from a nearby large sash window, a lovely even spread of light fell on her, enhanced by a Lastolite Gold reflector to maximise the light coming into the room.
Be sure to lock the focus where you want it when shooting with wide apertures.
Keeping the baby entertained, trying not to make them cry and getting some decent shots… These were some of the numerous obstacles that lay ahead of me as I got down low to baby level and began to shoot away.
Opening up the aperture to a wider setting is one good way of ensuring that you get creative images with depth.
The shot above was taken at f/3.5 and shows how shooting from an angle can help to create a greater sense of depth by causing the photograph to fade out in both the foreground and background.
A tight crop was again used here, but the image fails – the aperture was changed to f/10 and the camera positioned head-on to Alice. Even though the shot has great eye contact, it’s very flat.
By being selective with your in-camera cropping and keeping to a set aperture, you’re left to work around your subject, with composition and poses being the only thing on your mind.

Girls Basketball
Basketball is a very popular sport worldwide, played with a round, orange ball that bounces. The sport was created in Springfield, Massachusetts, by a professor named Dr. James Naismith in the year 1891.
Basketball is now the second most popular sport in the world. Women's basketball is also a popular sport, even though it does not receive nearly as much attention as men's basketball. Basketball has been played in the Summer Olympic Games since 1936.
In early December 1891, James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts invented an indoor game called basketball. He invented the sport to keep his students from becoming bored during the winter.Naismith wrote the basic rules and then nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot tall pole. Unlike modern basketball hoops, the bottom of the peach-basket was still there, so after a point was scored, somebody had to get the ball out of the basket with a long stick. Over time, people made a hole at the bottom of the basket so the ball could go through more easily.
The score of the first game of basketball ever played was 1 - 0. There is a sculpture in Springfield, where the first game was played. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is also in Springfield.
