Beyond the Second Curtain


Book Description

"Beyond the Second Curtain" was written for you, and others, who've been seeking a book dealing with subjects that help to develop a stronger and more intimate connection with Jesus. Before its destruction, the Jewish Temple contained two curtains. Priests could only enter Behind the Second Curtain, once each year on the Day of Atonement, and "not without blood." (Hebrews 9:7) God resided Behind that Second Veil. When Jesus died, the temple curtain was torn in two, signifying "the veil is removed in Christ." (II Corinthians 3:14) Do you realize what you now Posess in Christ? Do you know the meaning of "In Christ?" Do you know your body is the dwelling place (The Temple) of God? God desires to live inside of us, and He desires that we allow Him to take His rightful place as King within our hearts. Gary Christensen has always had an Euntrepenarial Spirit. He first wrote articles (in 1972) for his own monthly Magazine, "The Ad-Vantage." After College, Gary syndicated a monthly column ("Profit Insights") to nearly 100 home-based Mailorder magazines within the 50 States. Many of those articles were turned into his ($20.) book, "88 Short Cuts to Home-Based Mailorder." Following a deep and personal salvation experience, Gary began to write about how he was living out the Christian Life. 400 of his Devotions and Sermons can be found online at: www.injesus.com (Go to 'Groups, ' then on the left, 'Christian Living, ' and then to 'Jesus Inside.') Gary operates his own "Christensen's Delivery Service" during the days, and he devotes his evenings and week-ends to promoting his books online and continuing his writing efforts. As with everything, Gary believes in always Delivering his best for his customers.

On-Camera Flash


Book Description

Photographers are always looking for perfect light. Unfortunately, the quality of available light, and the situations in which photos are created, are rarely perfect. This is especially true when photographing weddings or portraits on location. So while finding beautiful existing light is every photographer’s ideal, it isn’t always possible. This is the point at which photographers tend to reach for a portable, on-camera flash. Indeed, these intense light sources can prove invaluable, but only if you know how to use them effectively. In the hands of an inexperienced photographer, on-camera flash will produce images that look flat and lifeless—images with harsh shadows, washed-out skin tones, cavernous black backgrounds, and other unappealing visual characteristics. In this book, acclaimed wedding and portrait photographer Neil van Niekerk shows you how to avoid the pitfalls photographers new to speedlights often encounter so that you can produce professional images using on-camera flash. You’l learn to use simple accessories to manipulate the quality of light from your flash and how to improve a lighting scenario by enhancing rather than overwhelming the existing light. When the available light is too low and too uneven to be combined with flash, he shows you how to override it completely with flash and, with some thought and careful application of specialized techniques, still get results that look great. On-camera flash is one of the most challenging light sources to master, but with the techniques in this book you’ll learn to use it with confidence. For wedding and environmental portrait photographers who must work in ever-changing lighting scenarios, this can mean better images and better sales.
