 The ideal meeting of the decadent movement might have been Oscar Wilde's short play Salome. Originally written in French in 1891, Wilde's tragedy tells in one act the biblical story of the beautiful Salome, the stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, and the final few days of the life of John the Baptist.
Told in elegant and powerfully symbolic prose, the play is often called Wilde's piece of "strange music". Oscar incited this idea himself by declaring in a letter that "the recurring phrases of Salome,... bind it together like a piece of music" Its flamboyance, its hypnotic rhythms, recurring lexical riffs and hauntingly melodic passages stitch the action together in such a way as to mimic some sort of dramatic aria.

Opening the aperture (lower F-numbers) opens the lens' internal blades that restrict light from entering the camera. By letting more light in, you can obtain a good exposure while keeping other camera settings the same. The two things to consider when using a reduced f-number, is the reduction of depth of field and that most lenses do not perform as well at their widest apertures.
Lowering shutter speed without making other adjustments can also help in getting the proper exposure. The rule of thumb is to set shutter time to no less than the focal length of your lens. So if you are using a 50mm lens, you should generally try to keep the shutter speed above 1/50 of a second. This will help prevent blurring the image due to camera shake (tripod can |
