  • Get a whiff of this! James May delves in to the mechanics of deodorant.
    Did you know that our sweat doesn't smell? Made up of various things like our diet and genetics, it actually does not pong. Rather it's when your sweat mixes with the bacteria on your skin that it releases an odor that can sometimes clear a room. Your armpits and pubic areas contain thousands of hairs which then hold on to your sweat and bacteria.
    Us humans aren't alone in smelling, many animals have some serious BO too. It's not such a bad thing for them, it helps them mark out territory, repelling enemies and, most importantly, attracting mates.
    Deodorants work by killing the bacteria on your skin and they also work as an anti- perspirant by reducing the amount of sweat. No more BO!

    For that last part, I just feel I have to add: While sweat does help in attracting a mate, don't think time will do the same.
    A cause of BO that wasn't discussed in this video is sweat that has been in your clothes and on your body for an extended amount of time. The acidic effect of the sweat will diminish over time and the stinky bacteria will gather around the areas.
    This is why your favourite pair of blu-jeans will start to stink after a few weeks, if you treat them like the manufacturers say you should and wear them daily without washing them for 6 months.
    While there are chemicals that can remove such bacteria, my suggestion is to do the easier and cheaper thing and just take a shower every day and change your clothes often.

    This was a good one!
    I've found that the super-deodorizing soaps, especially anti-bacterial ones ('Coast', I'm looking at you!) actually make me smellier! I think it is the alkaline properties, which really dry out my skin. In the bath, I use only Pears soap- which is very mild, and as little as I can get away with, and I'm much better off.
    On a side note though, I belong to a medieval reenactment group, and we have armoured combat. I find that a man coming off the field, soaking with sweat, smells pretty damn good- *IF* he was clean before he put his armour on. No one wants to smell someone who smells gross before he gets sweaty!

  • @RFC3514
    @RFC3514 11 лет назад

    So, to continue the previous post, what matters isn't the fact that the flash is external, it's where you point it.
    If the flash is pointed at their faces, and if the ambient light is very low, there's a pretty wide angle within which you will get red eye.
    Looking at a point "just above the lens" won't eliminate it, especially if the flash is also above the lens (it might even increase it).
    Ideally, you should bounce the flash off the ceiling or wall. If you can't, enable double flashing.

    Perfume is designed to make you smell like something (originally fragrant smoke, hence "per fume"). Deodorant literally means "odour remover".
    Some deodorant products also have perfume, though, because people don't feel like applying them separately.

    You can get "red eye" even if the person isn't looking directly at the lens, and with external flashes. Most cameras have a "red-eye reduction" mode that does one of two things:
    1. Fire two flashes in quick succession. The first causes the pupils to contract, the second is synced to the actual photograph.
    2. (digital only) Face recognition software on the camera identifies eyes with red pupils and paints them black (also available in some photo editing applications).

    We sweat all over the body, not specifically from the armpits. Sweat simply evaporates faster from more exposed areas.
    Sweating was actually one of the key steps in human evolution. It's the reason why we lost most of our hair, it allowed us to remain active during the day even under direct sunlight, and contributed to our upright stance, which allowed our skulls and necks to change and our brains to become larger.

    Acid erosion, also known as dental erosion, is the irreversible loss of tooth structure due to chemical dissolution by acids not of bacterial origin.
    "You can't expose your teeth to something that is just slightly less corrosive than battery acid and expect that there will be no damage," said Peggy P. Gragg, DDS, associate professor of dental diagnostic science and dental hygiene.

  • @RFC3514
    @RFC3514 11 лет назад

    I've been to church weddings plenty of times, and it's usually bright enough to take photos with no flash at all, which means pupils will be contracted enough to make red-eye irrelevant, unless you are right in the person's face and point the flash right into their eyes. Which wouldn't make you a very popular photographer.
    Body-mounted flashes pivot too. An external flash pointed at someone's face will result in red-eye more often than not. A body-mounted flash aimed at the ceiling will not.

  • @MrShushYou

    Not to be the bearer of bad news,but,actually the other dude is quite spot on with what he said...for a professional wedding photographer(like myself) both the methods he mentioned work pretty much to perfection as long as you know what you are doing with the light direction of said external flash,I have yet to have to retouch a wedding photo for red-eye.

    The pupils don't "reflect red" unless you're standing in front of something red.
    "Red eye" in photographs is caused by the retina (the inside of the eye, at the back) being lit by a flash or other strong light source, while the pupil (which is basically just a hole with a transparent lens) is dilated. The reason why it looks red is that it is red (due to a lot of tiny blood vessels).

    Choky wrote that one should "tell the subject to look just above the lens, or use an external flash instead of a body-mounted one". You agreed.
    I wrote that neither of those things is guaranteed to eliminate red eye. If someone looks "just above the lens", chances are they'll be looking straight into the flash (whether it's a built-in flash or a flash mounted on the hot shoe), and even an external flash can result in red eye if you point it at their face.
    What matters is where you POINT it.

    Because the light of the flash occurs too fast for the pupil to close, much of the very bright light from the flash passes into the eye through the pupil, reflects off the fundus at the back of the eyeball and out through the pupil. The camera records this reflected light. The main cause of the red color is the ample amount of blood in the choroid which nourishes the back of the eye and is located behind the retina.

    Do you do many weddings in darkened rooms? Do you often point flashes at people's faces?
    Red-eye occurs when people's pupils are dilated (and is maximized if they are looking at a point between the lens and a direct flash). If they're in a well-lit area, their pupils will be contracted naturally.
    Also, if you're a competent photographer, you'll be bouncing the flash off the walls or ceiling or, at the very least, using a diffuser. Using flashes as fill light doesn't cause red eye.

    Not just the British way, the name its founder left it with and the name that the IUPAC have standardised on. Americans call it aluminum as it was the 2nd name Humphrey Davy (the discovererer) gave it and was put in the American dictionary at the time. It was called alumium, then aluminum and finally settled with aluminium. However a good proportion of Americans called aluminium until it could be mass produced where reporters looked at the American dictionary for confirmation on the spelling..
