In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wash, condition, and dry your hair as usual, then section it off. Clip up any sections that you aren't planning on adding to the braid. Install your extensions into your natural hair using your preferred method, then begin to braid the extensions. Stop when you are a few inches/centimeters past your real hair, and are only braiding with the extension hair. You will continue braiding and lengthening them 1 at a time. This method works best on skinny braids, such as box braids or goddess braids. It is not recommended for thicker braids, such as pigtails. Choose a braid to add hair to, and continue braiding it. Stop when you have about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of hair left. The strand needs to be about the same thickness as the strands making up your braid. You can match the color to your existing braid, or you can use a different color for an ombre effect.  Kanekalon braiding hair will work the best for thin, micro braids. Its wavy, crimped texture will be easier to work with and won't be visible in the completed braid. If you are working on a single braid or a pair of pigtails, match the extension hair to your real hair’s texture. Keep the 3 strands on your braid separate, so that you have a left, middle, and right strand. Place the strand of extension hair behind the braid. Add the left end of the extension to left strand on your braid, and right end of the extension to right strand. The middle strand should not have any hair added to it. Cross the long/thick left and right strands over the middle one. Do this for a few stitches until the long/thick strands are back on the outside of the braid, and the short/thin strand is back in the middle. Make sure that you still have a few inches/centimeters of hair left on the short/thin strand. Choose 1 of the long/thick outer strands and split it in half. Add 1 of the halves to the short/thin strand in the middle, and keep the remaining half on the outside. All 3 strands should now be the same length and width. Keep braiding as before by crossing the left and right strands over the middle one until the braid is the length you want it to be. If you want to make an even longer braid, you can add another extension using the same technique. Wrap a clear elastic around the end of the braid, and cut the rest of the hair off. Use a pair of scissors for a blunt cut, and a pair of thinning sheers for a more natural look. Straighten the end of the braid to make the crimped hair look smoother.  Real hair: straighten the hair with a flat iron on a low setting. Synthetic or kanekalon hair: dip the hair in boiled water, then pull it out. Wrap the hair in a towel to remove as much water as possible, taking care to not burn yourself. Then, smooth the fibers out with your fingers and let the hair dry.
Summary: Start box braids on clean, dry hair. Braid the extension hair until you have 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) left. Pull a thin strand of hair from your pack of extensions. Add the extension hair to the left and right strands of your braid. Braid your hair for a few stitches. Split 1 of the thicker strands and add it to the thin strand. Continue braiding your hair as normal. Tie the braid, then trim off the excess.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While design itself doesn’t require that you be flawless with a sewing machine or phenomenal at drawing, building skills in relevant artistic areas such as these will make it that much easier to properly execute your costume ideas. Practicing these creative skills can also teach you to pay attention to detail and develop a better awareness of the world around you. While the overall goal of costume design is to design, you can’t do that unless you first develop a thorough understanding of who is wearing the costume and why they’re wearing it. Study the characters forwards and backwards before you start the designing process. It’s helpful to have specific references to become inspired by and base your vision on. Good communication skills are absolutely vital to efficiently designing and creating costumes. You’re the one with the vision, and you’re the one who will have to communicate that vision to others clearly and effectively in order to have a strong end product. As a designer, you’ll often be in a leadership position where you rely on others’ help. Whenever you find yourself in this role, do your best to direct others in a clear, respectful, authoritative fashion. As a costume designer, you’ll often be working under pressure. Plays, films, and TV shows all have showtimes and air dates that can’t be delayed, as well as money limitations. Take any opportunities to design costumes within a time frame or with a tight budget. When doing your own projects, commit to a date it’ll be done by and a maximum amount of money you’re allowed to spend on it. This will help you learn this skill before actually having strict budgets and deadlines to adhere to. As a costume designer, you’ll be expected to think creatively and have an eye for detail.Whenever fun or even outlandish ideas come to you, sketch them in a drawing notebook and develop them more over time. Then, start attempting to put your sketches to life one clothing item at a time with a sewing machine.
Summary: Expand your artistic abilities. Develop good research skills. Work on your communication skills. Work with deadlines and budgets. Develop design skills.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will likely need to set your camera settings differently when switching from handheld shooting to a tripod.  Turn off image stabilization, since the camera won't be moving on the tripod. Turn on mirror up. If you have a camera remote, utilize the mirror lock setting on DSLR cameras. The motion of the mirror can cause vibrations, so locking the mirror prior to taking your shot can help to stabilize your images.  Turn off Auto ISO. Take your photos from the base ISO of your camera. This will help to reduce the amount of noise and give you a dynamic quality photo. The base ISO for most cameras is between 64 and 200. After all the time you have spent preparing your camera and tripod to capture the perfect picture, don't risk messing it up by bumping the camera or moving it inadvertently when you snap your shot. Instead of pressing the button on the camera, use a remote to snap your pictures.
Summary:
Adjust your camera settings. Use a remote shutter release.
