Justin Bieber Tells GQ What “Sorry” Is Really About

2016-02-14T05:51:00.000-08:00

After a rowdy few years full of landmark missteps, mop buckets, and a misplaced monkey, Justin Bieber is ready to reintroduce himself. GQ writer Caity Weaver spent time with Bieber in New York City and at his Beverly Hills suite, where they candidly discussed a range of topics including his relationship with model Hailey Baldwin (“Someone I really love. We spend a lot of time together.”), his faith, and finally growing up. The 21-year-old singer also cleared up any misconceptions about his hit single, “Sorry,” an infectious banger many assumed was a personal apology for all his transgressions. “People ran with that,” he says. “—that I was like, apologizing with that song and stuff. It really had nothing to do with that . . . It was about a girl.”

In fact, Bieber’s public-apology tour was less about forgiveness and more about acknowledging past mistakes. “Everyone when they start growing up realizes, ‘Man, I did some dumb shit when I was younger,’” he says. “It’s not just me . . . If I could go back I wouldn’t really change much. I think it’s all my journey. That stuff made me who I am.”

Chris Brown is getting some new ink…on his head. During a day off from his “One Hell of a Nite” tour, the R&B superstar got a tattoo on the back of his head. He shaved some of his hair to make room for the new tat, which appears to be the ancient Greek statue Venus de Milo, who can also be seen on the cover of Jay Z’s album Magna Carta… Holy Grail.

The statue is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

Breezy documented the process on Instagram before deleting it. “#onehellofanight #legendarynights #OHB do what want and if u aint wit the bandwagon u will be soon #KEEPIT,” he wrote.

The tattoo is just the latest in Brown’s expansive collection, which covers his neck, arms, chest, and back.

How to Take Better Photographs

2014-01-24T08:05:00.000-08:00

Edited by Mehboub Weezy Khan

Many people think they will improve their photography by buying a spiffy new camera. In photography, technique is more important than equipment. In addition, taking good pictures is something anyone can do with any camera, if you practice enough and avoid some common mistakes.

Part 1 of 8: Understanding Your Camera

1

Read the camera's manual. Learn what each control, switch, button, and menu item does. Learn the basic actions, such as using the flash (on, off, and auto), zooming in and out, and using the shutter button. Some cameras come with a printed beginners manual but also offer a free larger manual on the manufacturer's website.

Part 2 of 8: Getting Started

Set the camera's resolution to take high quality photos at the highest resolution possible. Low-resolution images are more difficult to alter later; it also means that you cannot crop as enthusiastically as you could with a higher-resolution version (and still end with something printable). Upgrade to a bigger memory card. If you don't want to or can't afford to buy a new one, then use the "fine" quality setting, if your camera has one, with a smaller resolution

1

Start with setting your camera to one of its automatic modes, if you have a choice. Most useful is "Program" or "P" mode on digital SLRs. Ignore advice to the contrary which suggests that you operate your camera fully manually; the advances in the last fifty years in automatic focusing and metering have not happened for nothing. If your photos come out poorly focused or poorly exposed, then start operating certain functions manually.

Part 3 of 8: Finding Photo Opportunities

1

Take your camera everywhere. When the camera is in your possession, you will start to see the world differently; you will look for and find opportunities to take great photographs. Because of this, you will end taking more photographs; and the more you take, the better a photographer you will become. ^[1] Furthermore, if you're taking photographs of your friends and family, they will get used to you having your camera with you all the time. Thus, they will feel less awkward or intimidated when you get your camera out; this will lead to more natural-looking, less "posed" photographs.
- Remember to bring spare batteries or charge it if you are using a digital camera.
2

Get outside. Motivate yourself to get out and take photographs in natural light. Take several normal 'point and shoot' pictures to get a feel for the lighting at different times of the day and night. Go outside, especially when most people are eating, watching television, or sleeping. Lighting is often dramatic and unusual to many people precisely because they never get to see it!

Part 4 of 8: Using Your Camera

1

Keep the lens clear of caps, thumbs, straps and other obstructions. It is basic, yes, but any of these (often unnoticed) obstructions can ruin a photograph. This is less of a problem with modern live-preview digital cameras, and even less of a problem with an SLR camera. However, people still make these mistakes, especially when in a rush to take the image.
2

Set your white balance. Put simply, the human eye automatically compensates for different kinds of lighting; white looks white to us in almost any lighting. A digital camera compensates for this by shifting the colors certain ways.

For example, under tungsten (incandescent) lighting, it will shift the colours towards blue to compensate for the redness of this lighting. The white balance is one of the most critical and underused settings on modern cameras. Learn how to set it, and what the various settings mean. If you are not under artificial light, the "Shade" (or "Cloudy") setting is a good bet in most circumstances; it makes for very warm-looking colors. If it comes out too red, it's very easy to correct it in software later on. "Auto", the default for most cameras, sometimes does a good job, but also sometimes results in colours which are a little too cold.^[2]
3

Set a slower ISO speed, if circumstances permit. This is less of an issue with digital SLR cameras, but especially important for point-and-shoot digital cameras (which, usually, have tiny sensors which are more prone to noise). A slower ISO speed (lower number) makes for less noisy photographs; however, it forces you to use slower shutter speeds as well, which restricts your ability to photograph moving subjects, for example. For still subjects in good light (or still subjects in low light, too, if you're using a tripod and remote release), use the slowest ISO speed that you have.

Part 5 of 8: Taking Good Photographs

1

Compose your shot thoughtfully. Frame the photo in your mind before framing it in the viewfinder. Consider the following rules, but especially the last one:
- Use the Rule of Thirds, where the primary points of interest in your scene sits along "third" lines. Try not to let any horizon or other lines "cut the picture in half."^[3]
- Get rid of distracting backgrounds and clutter. Move positions to avoid trees looking like they are growing out of heads, when they are in the background. Change angles to avoid window glares from across the street. If you are taking vacation photographs, take a moment to get your family to put down all the junk they may be carrying around with them and to remove backpacks or hip packs as well. Keep that mess well out of the frame of the picture, and you will end with much nicer, less cluttered photos. If you can blur the background in a portrait, then do so. And so on.
2

Ignore the advice above. Regard the above as laws, which work much of the time but are always subject to judicious interpretation — and not as absolute rules. Too close an adherence to them will lead to boring photographs. For example, clutter and sharply focused backgrounds can add context, contrast, and colour; perfect symmetry in a shot can be dramatic, and so on. Every rule can and should be broken for artistic effect at times. This is how many stunning photographs are made.
3

Fill the frame with your subject. Do not be afraid to get closer to your subject. On the other hand, if you are using a digital camera with plenty of megapixels to spare, you can crop it later in software.
4

Try an interesting angle. Instead of shooting the object straight on, try looking down to the object, or crouching and looking up. Pick an angle that shows maximum color and minimum shadow. To make objects appear longer or taller, a low angle can help. You may also want to make the object look smaller or make it look like you're hovering over; to get the effect you should put the camera above the object. An uncommon angle makes for a more interesting shot.
5

Focus. Poor focusing is one of the most common ways that photographs are ruined.^[4] Use the automatic focus of your camera, if you have it; usually, this is done by half-pressing the shutter button. Use the "macro" mode of your camera for close-up shots. Don't focus manually unless your auto-focus is having issues; as with metering, automatic focus usually does a far better job of focusing than you can.
6

Balance in ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. ISO is how sensitive your camera is to light, shutter speed is how long it takes for your camera to take a picture (which in turn alters the amount of light coming in), and aperture is how dilated the lens of your camera is. Not all cameras have this, mostly only digital photography cameras. By balancing these and keeping them as close to the middle as possible, you can avoid the noise caused by high ISO, the blurriness caused by low shutter speed, and the depth of field side effects caused by low aperture. Depending on how your picture should be, you should change these settings accordingly to keep light at a good level but still have the effects you want on your picture. For example, say you are taking a picture of a cool bird coming out of the water. You will need a high shutter speed to get it in focus, but you will also need a low aperture or high ISO to compensate for the lighting. A high ISO will make it look grainy, but a low aperture is perfect because it also creates a cool blurry background effect that draws attention to the bird. By balancing these elements, you can make the best image possible.

Part 6 of 8: Avoiding Blurry Photos

1

Keep still. Many people are surprised at how blurry their pictures come out when going for a close-up, or taking the shot from a distance. To minimize blurring: If you're using a full-sized camera with a zoom lens, hold the camera body (finger on the shutter button) with one hand, and steady the lens by cupping your other hand under it. Keep your elbows close to your body, and use this position to brace yourself firmly. If your camera or lens has image stabilisation features, use them (this is called IS on Canon gear, and VR, for Vibration Reduction, on Nikon equipment).
2

Consider using a tripod. If your hands are naturally shaky, or if you're using large (and slow) telephoto lenses, or if you're trying to take photographs in low light, or if you need to take several identical shots in a row (such as with HDR photography), or if you're taking panoramic photos, then using a tripod is a good idea. For long exposures (more than a second or so), a cable release (for older film cameras) or a remote control is a good idea; you can use the self-timer feature of your camera if you don't have one of these.
3

Consider not using a tripod, especially if you do not already have one. A tripod infringes on your ability to move around, and to change the framing of your shot rapidly. It is also more weight to carry around, which is a disincentive to getting out and taking photographs.
- For shutter speed and the difference between fast and slow shutter speeds, you only need a tripod if your shutter speed is equal to or slower than the reciprocal of your focal length.^[5]. For example, if you have a 300mm lens, then you want a shutter speed faster than 1/300th of a second. If you can avoid using a tripod by using faster ISO speeds (and, consequently, faster shutter speeds), or by using image stabilisation features of your camera, or by simply moving to somewhere with better lighting, then do that.
4

If you are in a situation where it would be nice to use a tripod, but you don't have a tripod at the time, try one or more of the following to reduce camera shake:
- Turn on image stabilization on your camera (only some digital cameras have this) or lens (generally only some expensive lenses have this).
- Zoom out (or substitute a wider lens) and get closer. This will de-magnify the effect of a small change towards the camera, and increase your maximum aperture for a shorter exposure.
- Hold the camera at two points away from its center, such as the handle near the shutter button and the opposite corner, or toward the end of the lens. (Do not hold a delicate collapsible lens such as on a point-and-shoot, or obstruct something the camera will try to move on its own such as a focusing ring, or obstruct the view from the front of the lens.) This will decrease the angle, which the camera moves for a given distance your hands wobble.
- Squeeze the shutter slowly, steadily, and gently, and do not stop until shortly after the picture has taken. Place your index finger over the top of the camera. Squeeze the shutter button with the second joint of the finger for a steadier motion; you are pushing on the top of the camera all along.
- Brace the camera against something (or your hand against something if you are concerned about scratching it), and/or brace your arms against your body or sit down and brace them against your knees.
- Prop the camera on something (perhaps its bag or its strap) and use the self-timer to avoid shake from pushing on the button if the item is propped on is soft. This often involves a small chance the camera will fall, so check that it does not have a far drop. Avoid it with an expensive camera or one with accessories such as a flash that could break or rip off parts of the camera. If you anticipate doing this much, you could bring along a beanbag, which would work well for it. Purpose-built "beanbags" are available, bags of dried beans are cheap, and the contents can be eaten when they begin to wear through or are upgraded.
5

Relax when you push the shutter button. Also, try not to hold the camera up for too long; this will cause your hands and arms to be shakier. Practice bringing the camera up to your eye, focusing and metering, and taking the shot in one swift, smooth action.

Part 7 of 8: Using the Flash

1

Avoid red eye. Red-eye is caused when your eyes dilate in lower lighting. When your pupils are big, the flash lights the blood vessels on the back wall of your eyeball, which is why it looks red. If you must use a flash in poor light, try to get the person to not look directly at the camera, or consider using a "bounce flash". Aiming your flash above the heads of your subjects, especially if the walls surrounding are light, will keep red-eye out. If you don't have a separate flash gun which is adjustable in this way, use the red-eye reduction feature of your camera if available. The red-eye reduction feature flashes a couple of times before opening the shutter, which causes your subject's pupils to contract, thus minimizing red-eye. Better yet, do not take photographs which require a flash to be used; find somewhere with better lighting.
2

Use your flash judiciously, and do not use it when you don't have to. A flash in poor light can often cause ugly-looking reflections, or make the subject of your photo appear "washed out"; the latter is especially true of people photos. On the other hand, a flash is useful for filling in shadows; to eliminate the "raccoon eye" effect in bright midday light, for example (if you have a flash sync speed^[6] fast enough). If you can avoid using a flash by going outside, or steadying the camera (allowing you to use a slower shutter speed without blur), or setting a faster ISO speed (allowing faster shutter speeds), then do that.
- If you do not intend the flash to be the primary light source in the picture, set it up to give correct exposure at an aperture a stop or so wider than that which is otherwise correct and which you use for the exposure (which depends on the ambient light intensity and the shutter speed, which cannot be above the flash-sync speed). This can be done by choosing a specific stop with a manual or thyristor flash, or by using "flash exposure compensation" with a fancy modern camera.

Part 8 of 8: Keeping Organized and Gaining Experience

1

Go through your photos and look for the best ones. Look for what makes the best photos and continue using the methods that got the best shots. Don't be afraid to throw away or delete photos, either. Be brutal about it; if it doesn't strike you as a pleasing shot, then ditch it. If you, like most people, are shooting on a digital camera, then it would not have cost you anything but your time. Before you delete them, remember you can learn a lot from your worst photos; discover why they don't look good, then don't do that.
2

Practice, practice, and practice. Take many photos -- aim to fill your memory card or to use up as much film as you can afford to have developed. Avoid messing with film until you can get decent pictures often with a simple digital camera. Until then, you need to make many glaring mistakes to learn from them. It is convenient to make them free and find out immediately, when you can figure out exactly what you did and why under the current circumstances it is wrong). The more pictures you take, the better you will get, and the more you (and everyone) will like your pictures.
- Shoot from new or different angles, and find new subjects to take pictures of, and keep at it. You can make even the most boring, everyday thing look amazing if you're creative enough about photographing it.
- Get to know your camera's limitations, too; how well it performs in different kinds of lighting, how well auto-focus performs at various distances, how well it handles moving subjects, and so on.

Tips

If you shoot digital, it's better to underexpose the shot, as underexposure is easy to correct later on in software. Shadow detail can be recovered; blown highlights (the pure white areas in an overexposed photo) can never be recovered, as there is nothing there to recover. Film is the opposite; shadow detail tends to be poor compared to digital cameras, but blown highlights are rare even with massive overexposure.^[8]
Your camera does not matter. Nearly any camera is capable of taking good photographs in the right conditions. Even a modern camera phone is good enough for many kinds of shots.^[7] Learn your camera's limitations and work around them; don't buy new equipment until you know exactly what these limitations are, and are certain that they are hindering you.
Don’t be afraid of taking too many pictures. Take pictures until you feel like you got the best shot possible! It usually takes time to find the perfect composition, and your subject deserves this time. Once you found something that interest you, treat it like a treasure and give it your attention.
Get your photos off your memory card as soon as possible. Make backups; make several backups if you can. Every photographer has, or will, experience the heartbreak of losing a precious image or images unless he or she cultivates this habit. Back up, back up, and back up!
Keep a notebook handy and make notes about what worked well and what did not. Review your notes often as you practice.
Pick up a big-city newspaper or a copy of National Geographic and see how professional photojournalists tell stories in pictures. It's often worth poking around photo sites like Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) or deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com/) for inspiration, too. Try Flickr's camera finder (http://www.flickr.com/cameras/) to see what people have done with the cheapest point-and-shoot cameras. Look at the Camera Data on deviantART. Just don't spend so much time getting inspired that it stops you from getting out there.
To find an interesting angle at a tourist location, look where everybody else is taking his or her picture, and then go somewhere different. You do not want the same picture as everybody else.
Western societies tend to prefer snapshots with faces or people filling the frame, e.g. within 6 feet - East Asian tourists tend to takes photos of people standing at least 15 feet from the camera so they appear tiny and the photos is mostly location/background - the photo is not about 'me' but showing the place I went to.
When shooting photos of children, get down to their level! Pictures looking down at the top of a child's head are usually lame. Stop being lazy and get on your knees.
If the camera has a neck strap, use it! Hold the camera out so the neck strap is pulled as far as a can, this will help steady the camera. Also, it'll also stop you from dropping the camera.

Kendrick Lamar Disses Drake in BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher

2013-10-03T09:51:00.001-07:00

Kendrick Lamar is taking shots at Drake once again. Following his explosive verse on “Control,” the Compton MC took the opportunity to call out the Toronto native during TDE’s BET Hip Hop Awards 2013 cypher. AllHipHop has obtained a preview of the cypher, in which Kendrick addresses the Nothing Was the Same rapper.
“Yeah, and nothing’s been the same since they dropped ‘Control’/ And tucked a sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes,” he raps. “Ha ha, joke’s on you/ High five, I’m bulletproof/ Your shit will never penetrate/ Pin the tail on the donkey/ Boy, you been a fake.”
In a previous interview, Drake shrugged off the “Control” verse. “It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me,” he told Billboard. “That’s all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”
TDE’s full cypher will air during the BET Hip Hop Awards on Oct. 15.

Raz-B In Coma & On Life Support After Nightclub Bottle Attack In China?

2013-08-18T00:39:00.004-07:00

TMZ is reporting that singer Raz-B is comatose and on life support at a hospital in China, just one day after someone hit him in the face with a bottle at a nightclub.

The 28-year-old, who is a former member of the R&B/Pop group B2K (who disbanded in 2004) has been living in China for the past few years, and was performing at a nightclub there Thursday when someone smashed him in the face with a glass bottle as he was trying to break up a fight that had erupted in the crowd.

Raz-B and the person who hit him the face with the bottle were both hauled off to jail by Chinese police, but after it was determined that Raz did nothing wrong, he was released, but not before paying “roughly $5,000″ to cover his medical expenses.

After leaving the police station, Raz went to a hospital for further treatment, where he reportedly underwent a minor surgical procedure to repair a gash in his lip, which required four stitches.

But here’s where things get “fishy.” Sources close to Raz are telling TMZ that he was sent home to rest, but the next day, he didn’t wake up, and his backup dancer rushed him back to the hospital.

Doctors reportedly tested the founding B2K member for brain activity and determined that the situation was dire. He’s said to be breathing from a ventilator and has been slipping in and out of consciousness.

“He is in a coma and needs as many prayers as possible,” Raz-B’s publicist Toy Jones told TMZ.

Chris Brown’s Probation Revoked

2013-07-18T05:52:00.002-07:00

Chris Brown’s probation was revoked by a Los Angeles judge on Monday after an alleged hit-and-run accident.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed a motion to revoke Brown’s probation after he was charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license. After reviewing the case, Superior Court Judge James Brandlin decided to revoke Brown’s probation in the 2009 assault of Rihanna.
“In this matter, probation is revoked,” said Brandlin (via AP).
The R&B singer was not taken into custody and was released on his own recognizance. He is due back in court on August 16, where a judge will decide whether he actually violated his probation.
Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos hopes the matter will be resolved informally without a major probation hearing.
Shortly before appearing in court, Brown tweeted about the hit-and-run accident. “I did everything I was suppose to do during the so called hit n run, I provided the correct info. There were no injuries or damages. C’mon!!” he said.
If the judge determines that Brown has indeed violated his probation, he faces up to four years in prison.

Chris Brown spent his holiday weekend giving back. The “They Don't Know” singer donated sneakers to kids at Crenshaw High School during the “WE US: Walk Everywhere in Unity’s Shoes” event in L.A. on Saturday. Breezy shared a laugh with his young fans as he posed for photos.
As part of his Unity campaign, Chris works with the L.A. mayor’s office and gang reduction organizations. He gave away 1,000 pairs of Reeboks to youth in Compton and Baldwin Village to remind young people that “whenever and whenever they walk, we are a united community.”
He called on Team Breezy L.A. to help him sort boxes and pass out shoes. They stayed up until 1 a.m. packing the truck.
“Thank you for allowing me to continue to inspire change in the world. Today was a great step forward!” tweeted Chris.

Future ft Pharrell, Pusha T at ‘Move That Dope’ Video Shoot

Just days after debuting his street anthem “Move That Dope,” Future hit the streets of downtown L.A. to shoot the music video with director Benny Boom. Clad in all black, the Freebandz rapper sat on top of a parked Jeep Wrangler in a grimy alleyway with Pusha T and Pharrell by his side.

Skateboard P rocked his famous Vivienne Westwood hat and BBC hoodie as he posted up against the vehicle and caught up with jeweler Ben Baller.

The Mike WiLL Made It-produced song is set to appear on Future’s upcoming sophomore album Honest, which also features Drake, Kanye West, and Nicki Minaj.

How to Take Better Photographs

Edited by Mehboub Weezy Khan

Many people think they will improve their photography by buying a spiffy new camera. In photography, technique is more important than equipment. In addition, taking good pictures is something anyone can do with any camera, if you practice enough and avoid some common mistakes.

Part 3 of 8: Finding Photo Opportunities

Remember to bring spare batteries or charge it if you are using a digital camera.

Part 4 of 8: Using Your Camera

2

Set your white balance. Put simply, the human eye automatically compensates for different kinds of lighting; white looks white to us in almost any lighting. A digital camera compensates for this by shifting the colors certain ways.

Part 5 of 8: Taking Good Photographs

1

Compose your shot thoughtfully. Frame the photo in your mind before framing it in the viewfinder. Consider the following rules, but especially the last one:

Use the Rule of Thirds, where the primary points of interest in your scene sits along "third" lines. Try not to let any horizon or other lines "cut the picture in half."[3]

2

3

Fill the frame with your subject. Do not be afraid to get closer to your subject. On the other hand, if you are using a digital camera with plenty of megapixels to spare, you can crop it later in software.

3

Consider not using a tripod, especially if you do not already have one. A tripod infringes on your ability to move around, and to change the framing of your shot rapidly. It is also more weight to carry around, which is a disincentive to getting out and taking photographs.

4

If you are in a situation where it would be nice to use a tripod, but you don't have a tripod at the time, try one or more of the following to reduce camera shake:

Turn on image stabilization on your camera (only some digital cameras have this) or lens (generally only some expensive lenses have this).

Zoom out (or substitute a wider lens) and get closer. This will de-magnify the effect of a small change towards the camera, and increase your maximum aperture for a shorter exposure.

Squeeze the shutter slowly, steadily, and gently, and do not stop until shortly after the picture has taken. Place your index finger over the top of the camera. Squeeze the shutter button with the second joint of the finger for a steadier motion; you are pushing on the top of the camera all along.

Brace the camera against something (or your hand against something if you are concerned about scratching it), and/or brace your arms against your body or sit down and brace them against your knees.

5

Relax when you push the shutter button. Also, try not to hold the camera up for too long; this will cause your hands and arms to be shakier. Practice bringing the camera up to your eye, focusing and metering, and taking the shot in one swift, smooth action.

2

Shoot from new or different angles, and find new subjects to take pictures of, and keep at it. You can make even the most boring, everyday thing look amazing if you're creative enough about photographing it.

Get to know your camera's limitations, too; how well it performs in different kinds of lighting, how well auto-focus performs at various distances, how well it handles moving subjects, and so on.

Tips

Get your photos off your memory card as soon as possible. Make backups; make several backups if you can. Every photographer has, or will, experience the heartbreak of losing a precious image or images unless he or she cultivates this habit. Back up, back up, and back up!

Keep a notebook handy and make notes about what worked well and what did not. Review your notes often as you practice.

To find an interesting angle at a tourist location, look where everybody else is taking his or her picture, and then go somewhere different. You do not want the same picture as everybody else.

When shooting photos of children, get down to their level! Pictures looking down at the top of a child's head are usually lame. Stop being lazy and get on your knees.

If the camera has a neck strap, use it! Hold the camera out so the neck strap is pulled as far as a can, this will help steady the camera. Also, it'll also stop you from dropping the camera.
