کتاب حاوی موارد کلیدی ترکیب بندیست، با مثال تصویری محدود و شرح بسیار اندک از هر عنوانِ مطرح شده میشه گفت مختصر و نچندان مفیده !
باید بگم با دیدن قطع و قطر کتاب، توقع مضمون تقریبا دوبرابر ازش میره، دست کم بدین ترتیب که اگر از شرح مفصل و مبسوط دریغ شده لااقل از نمونه های متعدد بکاربرده شده ی هر عنوان دریغ نشه.
اشتباه نکنید! اتفاقا مضمون این کتاب و عناوین نوشته شده در اون بسیار کاربردی و پایه ای هستن، مشکل تنها در شرح و بسط اونهاست؛ گویی که چشمه رو نشون میده اما همچنان تشنه نگهتون میداره.

read-ish. I was looking for something to help me take a good, simple picture or crop my Europe vacation pics into snapshots that made sense. I wanted law of thirds, lighting and that kind of fundamental info. This was beyond me. Confession: I often take photos with my iphone. The pictures were stunning. There were tons of diagrams that referred to pictures that felt too many pages away, and I flipped back and forth a lot. Mante has refined photography to a precise science and shares all here.

اول که کتاب رو میخای شروع کنی خیلی انگیزه داری، فکر میکنی که رازهای نهفته ای درونش هست. بعد که ورق ها رو میری جلو، میبینی همون چیزهایی که با چشمات حس میکردی رو نوشته روی کاغذ. نه به این معنی که کتاب حرف جدیدی برای گفتن نداره، بلکه به این معنی که ارتباط چشمها و دنیا به این سادگی ها تغییر نمیکنه و در موضوع ترکیب بندی عکس ها فقط بر مبنای چندتا اصل کلی باید قرار بگیرن.

در خیلی از موارد نکات آموزشی ای رو عنوان می کرد اما بیان نمی کرد وجود اون نکته در عکس موجب ضعف عکس هست یا قوتش! به عبارت دیگه در بیان شیوای نکات و انتقالش به خواننده ضعیف بود. در مجموع انتظار بیشتری داشتم و منتظر مطالب آموزشی قوی تر و عمیق تری بودم

Great explanations of why we are inherently drawn to some compositions and not others. Though nominally about photography, much of the material is true of other graphic arts.

This is the most complete book on photographic composition that you will find. It is a boring book to read throughout, but excellent to use as a dictionary of composition. A lot of photos to illustrate the points in the book. It is not a bginner's book.

Boatswain's Mate | |
---|---|
Issued by | United States Navy |
Type | Enlisted rating |
Abbreviation | BM |
Specialty | Deck |
The United States Navy occupational rating of boatswain's mate (abbreviated as BM) is a designation given by the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) to enlisted members who were rated or 'striking' for the rating as a deck seaman. The colloquial form of address for a boatswain's mate is 'Boats'.
The rating of Boatswain's Mate dates from the American Revolutionary War and was one of the oldest U.S. Navy ratings in continuous existence from 1775 to present. For a period of three months at the end of 2016, the rating (along with all ratings in the Navy) was scheduled for elimination, but the proposed change was unpopular with both sailors and Navy veterans and was reversed in December of that year.[1]
- 3Background
Duties[edit]
Abbreviation | Title | Rate |
BMCM | Master chief boatswain's mate | Master chief petty officer |
BMCS | Senior chief boatswain's mate | Senior chief petty officer |
BMC | Chief boatswain's mate | Chief petty officer |
BM1 | Boatswain's mate first class | Petty officer first class |
BM2 | Boatswain's mate second class | Petty officer second class |
BM3 | Boatswain's mate third class | Petty officer third class |
Boatswain's mates train, direct, and supervise personnel in ship's maintenance duties in all activities relating to marlinspike, deck, boat seamanship, painting, upkeep of ship's external structure, rigging, deck equipment, and boats.[3] Boatswain's mates take charge of working parties; perform seamanship tasks; act as petty officer-in-charge of picketboats, self-propelled barges, tugs, and other yard and district craft.[3] They serve in, or take charge of damage control parties.[3] BMs also operate and maintain equipment used in loading and unloading cargo, ammunition, fuel, and general stores.[3] BMs take charge of and supervise UNREP (Underway Replenishment) procedures and equipment. They are integral to ship's navigation and serve as ship's Helmsman and the ship's Lee Helmsman. In addition they also serve as RHIB (rigid-hulled inflatable boat) coxswains.
Boatswain's mates enjoy a normal path of advancement to Chief Warrant Officer and limited duty officer.[3] Candidates must have normal color perception, and no speech impediment.[3] Candidates need not meet any special citizenship or security requirements.[3]
Boatswain's mates also stand watch on ship's bridges, passing information relating to routine and special activities to the crew with the distinctive boatswain's call or boatswain's pipe.[4] On the ancient row-galleys, the boatswain used his pipe to 'call the stroke'.[5] Later, because its shrill tune could be heard above most of the activity on board, it was used to signal various happenings such as pipe down, and the Side or Away Galley (the boarding or debarking of officials).[5] So essential was this signaling device to the well-being of the ship, that it became a badge of office and honor in the British and U.S. navies.[5]
Boatswain's mates duties cover a large spectrum and range widely depending on the capacity and mission of the vessel or shore installation to which BMs are assigned. They act as landing signalmen enlisted (LSE, guiding helicopters to the designated flight deck of a ship) on air-capable ships. They act as or supervise lookouts of Navy ships, searching the sea for enemy vessels and hazards to navigation. They conduct Search and Rescue (SAR) operations and can respond to other military and civilian ships that request assistance. Ashore, they provide armed security for either their assigned vessel or for their assigned Naval installation.
Boatswains' mates are also a source rating for the Navy's mobile amphibious community. These duties include assault boat coxswain and Craftmaster, navigating specialized assault or working vessels during amphibious operations, salvage work, or inshore work. They are also a recognized source rating for the U.S. Navy's Special Warfare and Special Operations communities. Should a Boatswain's Mate meet eligibility requirements, he can elect to become an SO (formerly SEAL), SB (formerly SWCC), ND (Navy Diver), or EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician).
- Note: The Boatswain's mate is said to be one of the four oldest professions in the U.S Navy, along with Quartermasters (responsible for safe navigation, shiphandling, and chart/record maintenance), Gunner's Mates (responsible for maintenance and operation of gunnery equipment and associated systems) and Masters-at-Arms (responsible for maintaining order and enforcing regulations among a ship's crew or the complement of a shore installation).
Ship's boatswain[edit]
In the U.S. Navy the ship's boatswain is an officer who assists the first lieutenant by supervising the deck force in the execution of major seamanship functions and the maintenance of topside gear.[6] The ship's boatswain supervises cargo handling[6] and inspects and maintains rigging and deck gear.[6] His duties also include supervising anchoring, mooring, fueling, towing, transferring of personnel and cargo, and the operation and maintenance of ship's boats.[6] The ship's boatswain is in charge of what the Navy deems 'unusual' seamanship operations such as retrieving target drones,[6] and also schedules training for deck division personnel.[6] Another key duty of the ships' boatswain is supervision of the maintenance of abandon-ship equipment and instruction in abandon-ship techniques.[6]

The word boatswain has existed in one form or another longer than Modern English has (Modern English only dates back to the beginning of the Renaissance).[7] It is derived from late Old Englishbatswegen, from bat ('boat') + Old Norsesveinn ('swain'), meaning a young man, a follower, retainer, or servant.[7] Various phonetic spellings (such as 'bosun' and 'Bos'n') have also been in use through the centuries.
Originally, on board sailing ships the boatswain was in charge of a ship's anchors, cordage, colors, deck crew, and the ship's boats.[8] The boatswain would also be in charge of the rigging while the ship was in dock.[8] The boatswain's technical tasks have been modernized with the advent of steam engines and subsequent mechanisation.[8]
Origins in the Royal Navy[edit]
The rank of boatswain was until recently the oldest active rank in Great Britain's Royal Navy,[9] and its origins can be traced back to the year 1040.[9] The Royal Navy's last official boatswain, Commander E W Andrew OBE, retired in 1990.[9]
In 1040 when five English ports began furnishing warships to King Edward the Confessor in exchange for certain privileges, they also furnished crews whose officers were the master, boatswain, carpenter and cook.[10] Later these officers were 'warranted' by the British Admiralty.[10] They maintained and sailed the ships and were the standing officers of the navy.[10] Soldiers commanded by captains would be on board the ships to do the fighting, but they had nothing to do with sailing the ships.[10] The word 'soldiering' came about as a seaman's term of contempt for the soldiers and anyone else who avoided shipboard duties.[10]
The warranted officers were often the permanent members of the ships' companies.[10] They stayed with the ships in port between voyages as caretakers, supervising repairs and refitting.[10] Other crewmen and soldiers might change with each voyage.[10] Early in the fourteenth century, the purser joined the warrant officers.[10] He was originally 'the clerk of burser.'[10] During the following centuries the gunner, surgeon, chaplain, master-at-arms, schoolmaster and others signed on.[10]
In the Royal Navy the task of disciplining the crew fell to the quartermasters and quartermaster's mates.[citation needed] This was done using a rattan boatswain's cane on the boys and a rope's end on adult sailors.[citation needed] Punishment could lawfully be inflicted on an officer's instruction or at his own will, or more formally on deck on the captain's or a court martial's orders.[citation needed]Birching or use of the cat o' nine tails would have been typical in the latter case.[citation needed] In a large crew he could delegate this to the boatswain's mates, who might alternate after each dozen lashes.[citation needed]
Notable boatswain's mates[edit]
A number of boatswain's mates have achieved notable careers in the military. Carl Brashear, the first black American master diver, whose life was the inspiration for the movie Men of Honor, retired as a master chief boatswain's mate. James E. Williams a Medal Of Honor recipient, also known as the most decorated enlisted sailor in U.S. Navy history for his actions during the Vietnam War, Reuben James and William Wiley famous for their heroism in the Barbary Wars and namesakes of the ships USS Reuben James (FFG-57) and USS Wiley (DD-57) were all U.S. Navy boatswain's mates.[11][12]Cesar Romero achieved the rating of chief boatswain's mate aboard the Coast Guard manned assault transport USS Cavalier. Medal of Honor recipients Francis P. Hammerberg,[13] and George Robert Cholister[14] were U.S. Navy boatswain's mates, as was Navy Cross recipient Stephen Bass.[15]USS James E. Williams (DDG-95) is an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, named for BM1 James E. Williams, who was awarded the Medal of Honor while serving in the 'brown-water navy' in Vietnam.In 1958 BMCM Sherman Byrd became the first African-American explosive ordnance disposal technician. Don Shipley began his United States Navy career as a Boatswain's Mate in 1978 before going on to become a SEAL in 1984.
