Frank Duval

Frank Duval (born November 22, 1940, Berlin) is a German composer, conductor, record producer, songwriter and singer.

Born into an artists' family, he studied as an actor and dancer, but also sang with his sister, Maria. By the 1960s, Duval was also composing music, both orchestral and pop, and his first soundtrack, for an episode of the German serial Tatort, was broadcast in 1977. From his 1979 first album, Die Schönsten Melodien Aus Derrick und der Alte, the song "Todesengel" became a moderate hit.

During the 1980s, Duval released several soundtracks, as well as proper artist albums (with occasional lyrical help from his wife, Kalina Maloyer). He was in the German charts several times, with "Angel of Mine" (a number one hit in 1981), "Ways" (1983), "Lovers Will Survive" (1986), and "When You Were Mine" (1987).

Duval wrote songs for Ivan Rebroff, Alexandra, Karin Huebner, Margot Werner, Klaus Löwitsch, and Maria Schell.

Albums

Gunmetal Grey

Gunmetal Grey is a thrashcore band that was formed in 2002 as a side project of some San Francisco Bay area hardcore veterans. It was formed by Stephen Lauck (of Hoods) and drummer Brandon Thomas (of S.E.E.D.). They currently have one album out, titled Solitude. Gunmetal Grey's sound was inspired by bands such as Metallica and At the Gates.

Biography

In 2003, the only members at the time were Stephen Lauck and Brandon Thomas. This eventually led to the recruitment of both vocalist Eddie Hermida and lead guitarist Brandon Scot into the band. At that point Gunmetal Grey sought fit to continue the production of their first album titled 'Solitude' only after bassist Andrew Smith was added to the band. 'Solitude' received mixed reviews from critics, but reviews from Russ Hockenbury, aversionline.com, and one from www.loudside.net, all thought the guitar work was quite intricate and written to perfection. As of 2006, Hernan "Eddie" Hermida departed from Gunmetal Grey to become the lead vocalist for Deathcore band All Shall Perish.

Solitude (band)

History

The Beginning

Solitude was originally formed by Dennis Warelius, William Turner and Patrik Larsson. At the start of things the band had various names and it was just a couple of friends enjoying to play music together. In 2006 the name Solitude was taken and after that things got more and more serious. The song writing had started fully and with a couple home-recorded demo's in their past Solitude found their way of creating the music they enjoyed.

Exposure

Exposure may refer to:

Law and finance

Photography

Science and medicine

Exposure (magic)

Exposure in magic refers to the practice of revealing the methods of magic tricks.

The practice is generally frowned upon amongst magicians, who believe that it ruins the experience of magical performances for audiences.

Exposure is uniquely impactful to magicians, as magic relies heavily on the elusive nature of secrets and methods in order to create mystery.

Background

Magic effects have been exposed by both professional and amateur magicians. Some magic effects have been exposed in stage shows, and in other public media including television, the Internet, certain video sharing interfaces, discussion forums, and blogs.

One notable case of exposure on network television involved Val Valentino, performing as the "Masked Magician" in the Fox series Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed, which ran between 1997 and 1998. Valentino was ostracized by the magic community and received much criticism from magicians for contravening the joint International Brotherhood of Magicians and Society of American Magicians ethics statement.

Exposure (photography)

In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area (the image plane illuminance times the exposure time) reaching a photographic film or electronic image sensor, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture and scene luminance. Exposure is measured in lux seconds, and can be computed from exposure value (EV) and scene luminance in a specified region.

In photographic jargon, an exposure generally refers to a single shutter cycle. For example: a long exposure refers to a single, protracted shutter cycle to capture enough low-intensity light, whereas a multiple exposure involves a series of relatively brief shutter cycles; effectively layering a series of photographs in one image. For the same film speed, the accumulated photometric exposure (H_v) should be similar in both cases.

Definitions

Underexposure and overexposure

A photograph may be described as overexposed when it has a loss of highlight detail, that is, when important bright parts of an image are "washed out" or effectively all white, known as "blown-out highlights" or "clipped whites". A photograph may be described as underexposed when it has a loss of shadow detail, that is, when important dark areas are "muddy" or indistinguishable from black, known as "blocked-up shadows" (or sometimes "crushed shadows", "crushed blacks", or "clipped blacks", especially in video). As the image to the right shows, these terms are technical ones. There are three types of settings they are manual, automatic and exposure compensation.
