![]() Robert Blust in The Origin Of Dragons (2000) argues that, like many other creations of traditional cultures, dragons are largely explicable as products of a convergence of rational pre-scientific speculation about the world of real events. Mayor, however, is careful to point out that not all stories of dragons and giants are inspired by fossils and notes that Scandinavia has many stories of dragons and sea monsters, but has long "been considered barren of large fossils." In one of her later books, she states that, "Many dragon images around the world were based on folk knowledge or exaggerations of living reptiles, such as Komodo dragons, Gila monsters, iguanas, alligators, or, in California, alligator lizards, though this still fails to account for the Scandinavian legends, as no such animals (historical or otherwise) have ever been found in this region." In China, a region where fossils of large prehistoric animals are common, these remains are frequently identified as "dragon bones" and are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. She argues that the dragon lore of northern India may have been inspired by "observations of oversized, extraordinary bones in the fossilbeds of the Siwalik Hills below the Himalayas" and that ancient Greek artistic depictions of the Monster of Troy may have been influenced by fossils of Samotherium, an extinct species of giraffe whose fossils are common in the Mediterranean region. In her book The First Fossil Hunters: Dinosaurs, Mammoths, and Myth in Greek and Roman Times (2000), Adrienne Mayor argues that some stories of dragons may have been inspired by ancient discoveries of fossils belonging to dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. Dragons are usually said to reside in "dank caves, deep pools, wild mountain reaches, sea bottoms, haunted forests", all places which would have been fraught with danger for early human ancestors. Jones therefore concludes that dragons appear in nearly all cultures because humans have an innate fear of snakes and other animals that were major predators of humans' primate ancestors. The earliest attested dragons all resemble snakes or have snakelike attributes. He cites a study which found that approximately 39 people in a hundred are afraid of snakes and notes that fear of snakes is especially prominent in children, even in areas where snakes are rare. Jones (anthropologist) suggests a hypothesis that humans, like monkeys, have inherited instinctive reactions to snakes, large cats, and birds of prey. In his book An Instinct for Dragons (2000), David E. Nonetheless, scholars dispute where the idea of a dragon originates from and a wide variety of hypotheses have been proposed. Famous prototypical draconic creatures include the mušḫuššu of ancient Mesopotamia Apep in Egyptian mythology Vṛtra in the Rigveda the Leviathan in the Hebrew Bible Grand'Goule in the Poitou region in France Python, Ladon, Wyvern, and Kulshedra in Albanian Mythology and the Lernaean Hydra in Greek mythology Jörmungandr, Níðhöggr, and Fafnir in Norse mythology and the dragon from Beowulf. Stories about storm-gods slaying giant serpents occur throughout nearly all Indo-European and Near Eastern mythologies. Draconic creatures are first described in the mythologies of the ancient Near East and appear in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature. Several bones purported to belong to the Wawel Dragon hang outside of Wawel Cathedral, but actually belong to a Pleistocene mammal.ĭraconic creatures appear in virtually all cultures around the globe and the earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble giant snakes. The Greek word probably derives from an Indo-European base * derḱ- meaning "to see" the Sanskrit root दृश् ( dr̥ś-) also means "to see". This is thought to have referred to something with a "deadly glance," or unusually bright or "sharp" eyes, or because a snake's eyes appear to be always open each eye actually sees through a big transparent scale in its eyelids, which are permanently shut. The Greek word δράκων is most likely derived from the Greek verb δέρκομαι ( dérkomai) meaning "I see", the aorist form of which is ἔδρακον ( édrakon). The Greek and Latin term referred to any great serpent, not necessarily mythological. The word dragon entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French dragon, which, in turn, comes from the Latin: draconem (nominative draco) meaning "huge serpent, dragon", from Ancient Greek δράκων, drákōn (genitive δράκοντος, drákontos) "serpent, giant seafish".

COVID-19 arrived, substantially impacting productions worldwide (with some projections stating the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns delayed at least 60% of scripted television programming worldwide.) The Expanse visual effects team had to produce ambitious visual effects at high volume and high quality in this atmosphere of upheaval, disruption, and remote work. The spectacle and scope are astounding.įor series five, however, the team faced a new challenge unlike any before. Character narratives move outside the Rocinante to locations new and old-from a future Earth suffering rising sea levels and overpopulation to breathtaking ship-to-ship battles in the depths of space. Krista Allain, VFX Producer on The ExpanseĪnd season five is The Expanse’s most ambitious yet. And with 2,000+ visual effects shots per season, that’s no mean feat-especially when the quantity also comes at a level of quality praised for accuracy by the scientific community. She’s now delivered visual effects across multiple seasons of the much-loved sci-fi, The Expanse. VFX Producer Krista Allain is no stranger to challenge. ![]() Below, she reveals how the creative team used cineSync to adapt, collaborate, and connect through lockdown for the critically acclaimed sci-fi’s latest season. Following our first article on Amazon’s The Expanse season four, we caught up with VFX Producer Krista Allain to discuss how things changed between the show’s previous season and its most recent: season five. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to the Lomo’Instant Explorer, there are many other Special Editions of the instant camera, such as the Lomo’Instant Sanremo, Honolulu, Montenegro, Boston, Kyoto, Havana, Lake Tahoe, Marrakesh, Milano, Mumbai, Murano, Panama, Yangon, Oxford and Reykjavik. There are ten pictures in a film cassette, which are about the size of a business card. You also need Fujifilm’s Instax Mini instant film ( eBay / Amazon). To take pictures you need four AA batteries ( eBay / Amazon), these provide power for the flash and film transport. With the Lomo’Instant, you have the opportunity to photograph the world in an unconventional way and create unique memories. Another useful feature of the camera is the small mirror on the front of the body, which is perfect for selfies. The Bulb mode is especially handy when you need long exposures, for example, to take night shots. Besides the built-in flash, it also has the ability to take multiple exposures, which allows you to create unique effects. The Lomo’Instant is a camera that is known for its creative features. The scope of delivery of the instant camera differs partially, so the camera is also available with three interchangeable lenses. I am at my wits' end! I have had a tethering issue that arises, on and off, for the last 2 years.The function of the Lomo’Instant Explorer are identical to those of the other editions.

I have explained the problem to Nikon and they can’t tell me why this is happening.I have tried to use a Nikon D850 and it also has connectivity issues.I have been unable to try my D800 with another computer using Capture One.In Capture One, there have been times when the camera is read (the battery icon comes up) but it then disappears immediately. At the moment, nothing is coming up at all. This is really jeopardising my work and I just don’t know what to do. I can’t afford to buy a new camera or new laptop. You are not the only one seeing strange anomalies with Capture One Pro.

If they can't find a solution then you either live with the intermittent problem, do your tethering is a two-step process (software X for the connection, then read the files in Capture One), or look for an alternative to capture one that works with your hardware and gives you the RAW file editing capability you're looking for.
